On the Home page, there is a new button that opens a screen listing volumes in series you have recently read. Clicking any of the volumes will open the current part you were reading, the next part after the last you read in the volume, or the first part in the next volume. You need to be logged in to see and use this feature.
This change continues work from the last update's release notes: Last Read Series Sorting.
The reader syncs progress when you change pages in a novel or manga. When that happens, that volume will appear first in Continue Reading the next time you open it.
Refresh Volume Redeem View
The design of the Volume Redemption/Purchase view has been refreshed. We hope this new design makes it easier to understand and use.
Add Google Play Store links
You can find J-Novel Club's volumes on the Google Play Store. We have added links in the third-party section of the Volume Redeem screen that open the relevant volume page on the Play Store if that is where you like to buy our epubs.Bug Fixes
Manga Reader
We have released an update to the manga reader that fixes two issues.- Fixed loading manga on devices with 1 or 2 CPUs. Loading was stalling, leaving the reader with a spinning loader icon.
- Fixed loading manga on devices with high-resolution screens, such as mobile phones. The reader was not requesting the relevant files correctly.
