The beta calendar link for WATARU!!! volume 2 leads to a 404: https://beta.j-novel.club/v/wataru-the-hot-blooded-fighting-teen-his-epic-adventures-in-a-fantasy-world-after-stopping-a-truck-with-his-bare-hands-volume-2
I believe it is because the actual link removes the "in a fantasy world" part for some reason: https://j-novel.club/v/wataru-the-hot-blooded-fighting-teen-his-epic-adventures-after-stopping-a-truck-with-his-bare-hands-volume-2

Under the user profile, it's cool that there's a "New" section for the newest releases. It would be nice though to be able to click the "New" and make it go away like it's a notification.
Edit -
Also, can the calendar for previous months be archived or something? It's a bit weird that when I check previous months, it's empty. I just noticed when August is already gone despite it still being the 30th.
-
sadly, trying to log into the beta site just gives me an blank error page, it seems to log me in as it allows me to follow and keeps track of whats already been followed but anytime i click on "User" / "Log in" tabs it just goes white.
tried logging out of old site + forums, clearing cache, and trying in-private to see if being logged onto both sites was the problem. on chrome btw, same thing happens on edge as thats the only other browser i have on pc -

Nothing from September 1st or 2nd shows either, and most of the 3rd as well. Those dates have releases on the old calendar, though.

@SoullessMinion Have you bought New Life+ previously? I was having the same issue but talking with Daiz we managed to figure out that owning those volumes would break the new site user profile for me.
-
@Aruseus493 yeah, got all 3 volumes
if that's the issue, i can only imagine it'd either be from starting with [brackets] or due to not being able to pull book info from jp site like other series' do -
@SoullessMinion Yea, @Daiz removed all 3 from my account and that fixed the issue for me.
-
when i log in and im on user profile it has a green "Regular" by my name when im a Premium member also the calendar is not showing everything
-
also on calendar maybe put the time that it would be coming out in UTC or whatnot (Could also put a clock showing UTC time)
-
There's a bug right now where no novels are appearing on the Titles page.

On iOS there is no way to go to the desktop version while on mobile, and clicking desktop version in the Chrome app does nothing. This would be very helpful since the Filters tab on iOS is still completely useless as nothing is clickable. https://imgur.com/EucoayI

It's probably due to how the links are set up with whatever javascript or css you have going, but I find it rather annoying that when you're on the page for a series, you can't select any of the information on the left-hand side when it's a link. As far as I can tell, this makes it impossible to copy-paste the information.
For instance, if I want to copy the author's name, and I try to select the text, for some reason, the mouse ends up dragging around a floating box that's the same as the box with the text. I don't know why anyone would want that. I don't object to it being a link (that can be useful), but the fact that I can't select the text is just plain annoying. The text that isn't a link (e.g. the headers like Author or Tags) can be selected properly, but it doesn't work with any of the actual information for the series, because it's all links, and the links won't let you select their text.

@Kalessin Links are basically never selectable anywhere, not just the beta site... but yes, the links on the left-hand side take up the entire block, not just the bounding box of the text and icon. Try copying from the line above i.e. if you want to select the author's name, start from after Author, just like you'd select from the whitespace before/after a normal link to get the link text.
-
@Gamen There are plenty of links that are properly selectable on the normal site, though it's certainly possible that there are some that aren't. Regardless, I think that it's highly undesirable that a link's text ever not be selectable like any other text. It's an anti-feature and just gets in the way.
Also, when I just tried selecting the text above the link to get it to then also select the link's text as you suggested, that didn't work at all. e.g. selecting Author and moving the mouse down then selected Illustrator without selecting the author's name at all.
-
@Kalessin My bad, I use Waterfox Classic which doesn't support the unprefixed user-select: none CSS; I see the same situation as you in the lastest versions of Chrome and Firefox due to them styling those links with user-select: none

The calendar is buggy. Not only do past items not show up, but items in the near future aren't listed. Right now (September 13th), the earliest release I see listed is on September 22nd. None of the releases (subscription or digital book) between now and then are listed. So, over a week of releases is missing starting from now.
I would expect items to stay in the calendar permanently, though the current site seems to only list as far back as the previous month for some reason. Either way, the current behavior of the calendar on the beta site is clearly buggy.

Hi again. I was checking beta again and i wanted to go to discussing page. For Lazy Dungeon Master which is currently 13th volume released, when click the "discuss on forums" it sends us to vol 1, thread. It would be nice for the put short cut for every volumes discuss thread link near their vol info OR change to the main "discuss on forums" to latest thread.

When buying a book directly without having credits it states 1 credit is $7 for regular users and $6 for premium. But the button to actually redeem/purchase the book says "Buy 1 credit for $7 and redeem". Don't know if this is a issue here or that on the beta site I'm shown as a 'regular' user.

I just saw this thread and wanted to say I overall LOVE the new site design! Can't wait for it to become the main page.
That said, I'm confused about follows in particular. The only place this seems to show anything is on the calendar. If I follow a bunch of series that may not have chapters being released, just as a sort of bookmark, I can't pull up a list of what I was following. I was expecting something maybe on the User page or in the header bar so I could shortcut to certain series as I'd like to treat it as a sort of bookmark for buying volumes later.
Also on the Calendar the back link isn't working. So if I missed a few days and wanted to go back say a week to see what I needed to catch up on, I can't find how to do that.
And is there a way to bookmark things? Some novels are still fully available to read, either from catchup or because I didn't follow them too closely since I wanted to binge at the end, and it's difficult to remember where I left off in the parts.
