Yes. I'm using the term in the actual application. I am aware they are now "reader's library" Which replicates them to an extent. I updated my subscription on the change over, since I wanted to access the new version.

The original question was answered by the note that on discord they announced the app update was in proccess to various extents. I wonder if thats the best method for casual news as the various changes were rather abrupt for me.
edit: It also answered the colouration question. Since the app update is pending and the catchup meny is not hot cross connected to reader's library in the interim. then the colouration for it wouldn't indicate either. (as it does on the website)

and correct JPWONG, that I was making the assumption that catch-up filter would work as the filter for what is available on that tier in the interim. As opposed to having no method I see currently on sorting for what is accessible on the app-my primary readin source. though I can get titles from browsing in a browser.

@Nubz_Unite I agree, extremely disappointed in this. I only bothered to use the jpnovel app because of catch-ups. Without this incentive I will most likely just let my membership lapse.

I wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion. Most of the series I've found on here were through the monthly catch-ups, and specifically the discussion that arises as a result of them. It's not unusual for the summary of a series to not catch my interest, but the input from another reader does.

Even this last month, I read through Miss Nicola the Exorcist, which I thoroughly enjoyed and was going to purchase (that's another discussion). I was subscribed as a premium user when this title was first licensed and wasn't sold on it, but the discussion in the catch-ups thread convinced me to give it another shot.

This type of interaction is absolutely valuable to foster, and it would be a shame to lose it completely.

@Paul-Nebeling - there's details and analysis in this thread - https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/9632/can-we-still-get-something-like-monthly-recommendations-once-monthly-catchup-is-gone/23

@Serah When I look at v4 on the app (iOS on iPad), it shows me part 1 (from “2 days ago”) available… I’m not sure why you’re seeing that.

Ah, no - I am not seeing that right now. Sorry for causing the confusion!

It was from a few days ago, when there was no part yet.

Just think of me as a very enthusiastic fan who checked more than regularly. alt laughing emoji

So when I checked the site on the app, before it was released, it showed that cute image of Yurika.

What you said here was why I went back to my post and edited it, adding my second paragraph/last sentence. I just didn’t do it quickly enough. :p It’s something that I’ve seen a few times before.

@Serah said in Are Axed Novels/Manga Worth Licensing?:

Also a story unable to do the world building good when not an isekai is more an issue of the writing style than that being or not being an isekai.

Yes. This is really the point that I'm trying to make. The writing is king. And this goes both ways. A boring isekai is just as much an issue of the writing style. There's nothing inherently wrong with isekai (or harems, or cheat-powered protags, etc.).

I, too, am tired of boring stories filled with poorly executed tropes - and many of the same ones you listed (e.g. there's nothing wrong with mayonnaise, but let's not pretend that the locals are going to start celebrating an annual Mayonnaise Day festival, or something - it's just eggs and vinegar).

The last thing I'll say on this is that 90% of whatever gets published is garbage. I would be cautious of overgeneralizations focused on the average case. One example I can think of would be music. As a teenager in the 90s we always complained about the music played on the radio, comparing it unfavorably to the classics of yesteryear (The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, etc). But the mistake we made was comparing the very best music from the preceding three decades with the average music from the ~6 years we spent in middle and high school. Objectively, the 90s was a pretty great time to be a teenager, musically (Nirvana, Green Day, Alice In Chains, Rage Against the Machine, etc).

I second the suggestion and request.

Without exceptions every time when I hit earlier entries I have to scroll back down to check on the entries relevant to me.

It is nice that I can filter it to series I follow only, but still. Most of the times I just want to check what I have missed within the past 24-72 hours.

I second this.

The tags are a nightmare. There are far too many bespoke tags that apply to only one or 2 series despite there already being very similar tags.

There is a mech suits tag for the new series Atlas, and it's the only one with the tag. Even though Knights and Magic and a few others have the Mechs tag.

Also they sometimes just don't have the tags they should. ATLAS is also missing Female Protagonist and Multiple PoV tags.

@LBonne24 said in Make authors searchable in series, make search easier:

Currently I cannot search a series by the author name, nor does clicking the author section on the book page lead to all of their works.

Ignoring the contracted name issue, this is a function we had and then lost with the revamp.

Original topic: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/8599/search-author-tag-downgrade/

This got so old, someone made a new topic last month....

Why is this still not resolved? It is a super basic functionality that existed before the revamp.

I have a better chance having a solution at JNovel than Facebook or BlueSky.

Even here I have a better chance to know where the file with the logo is on Android and how (or if) I can change it.

And anyway it's up to JNovel's, not you or me.
