@Gamerplayhard-csq4gtc I also would love this I love listening to books while I drive, cook, and clean. Ther are so may series I'd like to read but just don't have the hands or eys free to read.

Let's just end this here. The OP has been directed to the correct place to express concerns over the text.

@olee92 said in Better discoverability needed search/reviews/user suggestions sorely needed.:

Even just allowing to order the list of novels by number of followers / readers would be a huge improvement imho and it would be something that could be added with little effort to the site.

I agree it could be a nice improvement.

Speaking as a programmer, though, be careful about throwing around bits like 'could be added with little effort'. Depending on how the site backend is put together, it might be easy... or it might involve Rube Goldberg-esque contortions to get the 'number of follows' information into a space where it can be used by the 'sort series' code.

Even without allowing to order the list by these numbers, just showing them on the results page / detail page would help a lot.

Again, it depends on how easy it is to access that information from the appropriate pages.

Sometimes the backend design makes that easy. Sometimes it isn't.

on the top of the homepage (HOME SERIES CALENDAR FORUMS USER) just add "news" and have it link to the newsletter that is emailed (and have forward/back button on the news section to see previous newsletters)

no re-inventing the wheel or specific formats
no (for me) digging thru my inbox for the newsletter
news/announcements for those who want it without having to look too hard

(edited to add) a regular schedule of newsletters would be nice also - i.e. newsletters are biweekly unless it's an 'off schedule' announcement - maybe have an icon when a new newsletter is posted?

Do you read using Books on your Apple device? If so, they did update the application somewhat recently and it's fairly different from how it was previously. That's not something JNC can control, though; our ebook format hasn't changed for years.

I'm honestly not sure that JNC wants to get into the whole business of tipping out since that leads to taxation implications which I'm sure they're currently not set up to deal with.

Gifting coins might be something that could happen eventually. A lot of users have asked for the ability to gift memberships and things to other users, it's just not something that can easily be worked out until they've had a chance to fully upgrade all the systems that run the web site. Once such a gifting system was set up, there wouldn't really be anything stopping you from gifting coins to staff (though such a system would have to have a mechanism to allow the recipient to accept or reject the gift).

@drocks Can you include a screenshot? I see the button to switch just fine on my iPhone, so this might be a problem specific to iPads.

Just make sure there's a tag for 'head pats'...
No one ever tags 'head pats', and they really should.

Hello,

We would like to thank everyone for their patience. This issue on the mobile site should now be resolved. Please note you may have to refresh your browser to see the change.

Thank you very much for taking the time to point this out, and thank you for your continued support of J-Novel Club.

@Boi2 From my experience with the Android App (website may behave differently): if you simply open a 100% read part (loading the beginning of the part), but do not scroll before leaving it, it won't reset your progress (quite a useful feature in case of accidental clicks). If the website works the same way, the scenario in your edit above wouldn't reset progress.

@Excelsior This should have already been resolved! Please see this topic for more information: https://forums.j-novel.club/post/247180

We will probably offer a CSV download at some point, but not PDF.

Hi,

I also would like to have something similar for the web browser. I am using a Windows tablet and face the same issues.

If you're using the app, you can go over to the series page and just uncheck the filters and the default view shows series in order of licensing with the most newly licensed series appearing first in the list.

Not wery b/w e-ink friendly :) Now it's at least possible to navigate to color images on a different (color) device.

Also I usually edit JNC epubs and move color incerts to the front. It helps to know how characters look and named etc and that's how it's in Japanese versions.

@TheGrimLich said in Overlocalization:

This series went with what I'd call "Option 5", at least in the premium edition: Replace the references in the text with ones its English-speaking audience would get... but explain what the originals were in translator's notes after the Afterword.

For the VTuber series I think that was the best option. Generally I am happy for translators to use their own judgement but I'd like to be told about any interesting elements which might have been lost in translation, either through posts in the forum (which VTuber did a good job of and which I see quite a lot of for Bookworm) or in TL notes at the end where justified (which is sometimes seen from JNC in the premium content for reference-heavy series such as VTuber and My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World)

@roughroadface51 interesting that this topic is necroed around this time!
