New Website Feedback
-
I've noticed some regressions in the beta calendar since last time I checked it out, about a month ago:
- Many of the dates are repeated, which was pointed out a few days ago. This is leading to some releases being listed under the wrong date. I think it has something to do with time zones, because releases after 18:00 consistently get moved to the next date block for me (central time zone).
- The date lines in the calendars are now links. This isn't an issue on a computer, but on mobile the link area takes up the entire width of the phone, making it easy to accidentally press while intending to scroll. And the link only leads to itself: you already need to be at the date to click the link, so I'm not sure why they need to be clickable anyways.
- There are no more links for releases that have not released. I'm pretty sure there used to be links for all entries into the calendar, but now they only exist for items already released.
-
It looks like those first two things I mentioned were already fixed, but now I see an odd new problem: Everything looks fine when I go to a calendar page through a link (the calendar button at the top, or the next or previous month buttons), but the formatting of the calendar gets really messed up when I try to refresh or put in the url directly in the address bar. This happens on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Chrome for Android.
-
This probably has already been suggested, but if not. On the title page where you each volume for the series and each part it would be nice to be able to click the part there and just open the chapter instead of being taken back to the old site then opening that part.
-
In the library, Tales of Marielle Clarac volumes are misnumbered. 4 there should be 3, 5 shd be 4 and 6 shd be 5. This is not actually a problem with the site per se, but it's only noticeable in the beta site because neither the current site nor the app shows volume numbers for the Marielle series.
-
in the library, In Another World With My Smartphone has a bad sorting that does not take into account the two-digit order.
And while downloading Mixed Bathing in Another Dimension, i noticed that the names, except for the last one, were missing a number indicating the order.
-
@ondra3985 It has always annoyed me that leading zero numbering is not used, by JNC or any of the other publishers. In fact I think that was one of my first posts on the forum a couple years ago lol.
-
@ondra3985 the volumes for series in your library are now sorted correctly. More sorting options will be available in the future. For mixed bathing, that's unfortunately due to our use of title slugs for volumes, which may change in the future (it also has nothing to do with the beta website)
-
The title page for Slayers cannot be opened to me, it shows this error:
Any other random page went to open normally. -
@ondra3985 that has been fixed
-
Potions novel/manga, Grimgar, Next Life as a Villainess, Sexiled, Grace of the Gods, Dendro manga, Clockwork Planet, Occultic;Nine, Otherside Picnic, and Bookworm manga all don’t show up when searching for “has physical releases.” Upcoming ones would also be nice, like Realist Hero manga, Seirei Gensouki, and Slayers.

The beta site gives a 404 page when I click the link in the schedule (https://beta.j-novel.club/read/ascendance-of-a-bookworm-manga-part-2-volume-1-chapter-1) - it's fine on the live site, though.
-
@rsog412 I moved your post because it's a beta website issue, not an issue with the series/volume.
-
Seems to be fixed now, regardless, so either transient issue or someone worked fast! Thanks!
-
I useful feature would be if in library view the total number of volumes in a series as well as how many you own e.g. 3 of 5 where shown as well a have the ability to buy unpurchased volumes from followed series in library view.
Another useful feature would be the ability to subscribe to a series so that new volumes would be deducted from credits as volumes become available. -
Beta Websites Calendar seems to have gone wonky on me? Not sure if this is happening to anyone else or not.

@Demonskid Yeah, I reported it ~2 weeks ago. It seems to happen when I go to the calendar page directly from the address bar or refresh the page, but not when I go to it from a link (the calendar button at the top of the page, or the next/previous month buttons). So you can see the calendar if you look at the page that way (at least for me) but yeah, something is wrong with it.
-
@FalseAim Good to know it's not just me.
Speaking of those buttons, when I tried switching to 'User' then going back to 'Calendar' to see if that would fix the calendar issue (it did not), my user page's Library was empty. I don't own any of the series via JNC, but I am following a handful of series. The calendar shows that I'm still following these series but the Library is saying I'm not?

A possible enhancement: Can you add the details about the bonus when we click the buy button? Something like 2 SS or Textless Illustrations? one liner is enough. User doesn't have to jump to forums to check the bonus details in the thread. Also thread is not updated with recent release bonus content details.

It already does though, for recently released ebooks. See attached images. They just haven't gone through the 500+ ebooks they've released over the years to update all of them, which will be quite the endeavor.
