@jpwong Thank you for the feedback.

I'm running Android 12 on a Samsung S10e, and I can reproduce the issue on all types of connection (wifi, data).

As extra context, I just tried my tablet and manga works as intended; this issue is solely on my phone.

@myskaros
That’s a real bummer. I literally only bought my sub so I could read this novel, gonna have to cancel now unfortunately since I was literally in the middle of part 4 vol 3 and now I can’t finish them! Was a great novel too~

again, nowadays you can buy the books even without subscription
but the subscription helps you keep up with the series and is cheap enough to maintain (I'm Mexsican, Cheap is what
I seek the most)

@myskaros mines an Android.

phone os and version

@saffire Thanks

@piisfun according to A/parts the entry was created on 2022-04-24T19:48:28.582Z which explains why the part wasn't available before then.

@kurzaa said in "Not allowed to read" even things i bought?:

Is buying the epub the same as reading the pre-pub?

I assumed that they weren't connected. So in order to read the book you purchased, you have to download the epub file and open it with an appropriate digital reader.

If you buy the premium e-book you get permanent access to the pre-pubs for the associated volume. Though do note that if you want to read the final retail release with any bonuses/corrections you do need to download the ebook and use your preferred reader.

Sorry. It’s not called iBooks anymore. As of 2019, it’s now Apple Books. Unless they changed the name again.

I got my credit on the 15th just fine, as did several others (because we mentioned it on discord, noone mentioned not getting one there)

@terabyte
Thank you very much. That was very helpful

Nothing to see here, let's all move along.

I think that error may mean that it's a problem with 3D secure which JNC currently doesn't use (it's on their to do list). I'm not sure anything can be done if that's the issue at least until the payment part of the site gets updated.

@unknownmat
Most of the time all I get is the generic "thanks for submitting this, we'll forward it to the appropriate translation team" thing.

But there was one time where they really did disagree with my suggestion, and emailed back concerning why they disagreed concerning it being in error.
It was a really weird section of text in how it could be interpreted, whether it was spoken aloud or a mental thought to self, and that was made worse by the title of a book showing up as part of it; book titles go in italics, and if it was spoken that's how it should display, and if a mental think... it was a truly weird formatting issue, to put it mildly.

But they discussed it with me.
They disagreed, and still disagreed at the end of it all, but they didn't round file it when they decided they disagreed, they informed me as to why they weren't in agreement.

That impressed me.

These days, my submissions tend to be screen prints with highlighted text and text boxes explain what I see as the problem.

@Tensu What series/what parts specifically is that happening on for you? And what browser version and operating system?

@robd Thank you! We have reuploaded the book, and it can take 24-72 hours to reflect on their site.

@myskaros Okay, found it, thanks.

Sorry to hear you're experiencing these issues. I'll make sure the developers look into this.

Basically all light novels in america have tuesday releases. Well, physicals at least, digitals are less constrained by shipping and inventory and such.

Amazon also has difficulties with consistency in ordering name components of Japanese authors in romaji format; they will have part of a series attached to [Latin Alphabet: Last Name First Name], and part to [Latin Alphabet: First Name Last Name], and of course they will only accept the word of those authors that it's the same person.
