Hello,

Apologies for inconvenience. I Shall Survive Using Potions (Manga): Volume 6 Chapter 1 should now be available to read as a free preview.

Thank you for taking the time to report this.

@redmasq said in Adding an audiobook filter to the series page:

As a separate note, I like the premium ebooks provided on the website: if licensing allows, I would like to eventually see DRM-free mp3 or ogg format audiobooks.

Some of the audiobooks are already available DRM free, it just depends on which store you buy them from (which of course is impacted by which company is producing the audiobook as I believe at least one company JNC is partnered with only releases their audiobooks on Audible). Slayers is available on Downpour and Libro.fm, DRM free audiobook platforms, so I'd expect the other JNC direct productions to go there, and it seems all the ones produced by Tantor Media are there too. Not sure on the format options available there though.

Hello,

That should now be fixed. I have gone ahead and added the tag to your forum name.

@myskaros Thanks! Obviously having a color change or some visible marker is better but this should at least help me figure out where I lost track of a few ongoing series.

@SonofGod1998 Hi there, so it's been a good long time since I've talked about this, but I've found a solution for those still interested in using text to speech on mobile (like me). Since TalkBack is treating the book like an image, it has given me the option to "describe it" and then it'll recognize the text and read the extracted text like normal. The only downside to this is that it can't automatically keep reading like before, instead I have to keep swiping and make it describe the next page each time, but just to stay up with the series, this is good enough solution.

As for iPhone users, my sister uses an external app that does the same function, just screen shoots the pages and makes the tts app to read the extracted text from the image/pages.

@pcj said in New Feature! RSS Feed:

My Atom feed of my follows is now sorted by when you guys posted it to the queuing system rather then when it was released now, after whatever you changed. Threw me for a loop because it said there were 2 unread posts, and I didn't see anything, and had to scroll down to March to see the new Skull Dragon's Daughter

https://labs.j-novel.club/feed/user/{usertoken}.atom

Just pointing out this still hasn't been fixed. The items are showing up in the ATOM feed with the date the release was uploaded and not the date it got published (but they don't show up in the feed at all until it gets published). This means it suddenly says I have 2 unread items and I have to scroll down digging for it to find out what it was because they got uploaded a while ago.

@Melicans If all you're worried about is missing the pre-order on a series you already purchase... Personally, I use my user page for that.

The series listings on there include any books available for pre-order (so long as you've bought or pre-ordered at least one book in that series), so I check that page once or twice a month to pre-order any upcoming volumes in my regular series.

@admin I was wondering how that might impact things like takedown notices and such, though the courts would have to work out who actually owns the copyright in example 1. Example 2 is far more clearcut if the sample set is the author's own work and is only used to assist rather than the total production based on illegally lifting other people's works.

Safari on MacOS and iPad, JNC app on iPhone and iPad when in low-bandwidth areas. When switching frequently between devices, I'll sometimes get random logouts after less than a day. Two weeks? Ahahahahahahahahahah. Dream on.

I've reported this before, but stopped because it didn't seem to do any good.

@MonoKono said in Website suggestions:

Connect series to a forum thread about them. So I can immediately jump over and read reactions and thoughts after finishing a chapter or a book.

Series already do this, there's a "discuss on forums" button on each series page (right under the follow button) that takes you to the Vol 1 discussion of the respective series (may not work quite so well on the oldest of series where forum discussion topics were less standardized than they are now). Clicking the forums button on the reader takes you to the discussion topic for the volume you're reading (there is a bit of funkiness if you change volumes within the reader and it may take you to the topic for whichever volume you originally clicked on).

First item I don't think is supported by the web site at the moment and would be a low priority item. Second item based on the livestream last week they didn't have the metrics for until just recently.

Agree with the third option, though I hate infinite scrolling, so I'd rather the fixed amount be increased if it can't be set from a pick list.

I don't really agree with 4 since that could get confusing for people who are looking into the series and might want to start from the beginning or if a series is on catchup, if you're looking for the latest available pre-pub, it's better to just use the calendar.

@myskaros I have that one perma-open! (:

It's still a pretty rough guess; Endo&Kobayashi expires today (and I've just read it because it popped up in that thread) but the last chapter was published almost two months ago. If there was a way to check for volumes by date of completion instead of date of expiry it would be swell.

@jpwong I tried on my iPad, Amanda the 1 2 switch only seems to affect manga, not novels, unfortunately. It also only shows up for novels if you choose pagination rather than infinite scrolling.

This is a feature I’d really love for tablets. I like how the Kindle app has done it as it’s much better line lengths for larger screens. At this point with the current app, I read novels on my phone and manga on the iPad due to having either too long a line length or too big a font on the iPad.
