I’m on mobile (iPhone SE, 13.7), and everything is giving me 404 errors - the stuff in my library, the stuff on catchup, the stuff in the calendar. Though maybe I should update my software lol.

@MasterLillyclaw Nah, iOS 13.7 shouldn't be causing you trouble with this.

Also low priority. On the front page header, it's probably a good idea to make the animated graphic respond to @media (prefers-reduced-motion).

@MasterLillyclaw Yea I'm also getting 404's on my iPhone 8 chrome (and on my iPad 7 on Safari) when I go to any prepubs and their read pages. Most other pages work just fine though.

Also, please add a "Followed titles" checkmark to the Titles page, I feel it would be much more useful there rather than just in the calendar.

Also also, I liked having upcoming/just released prepubs in the front page of the old website, so having to click calendar to see them now is annoying.

I hate it.

On Ipad mini - both manga and LN reader links are going to 404 for me. This happens for both safari and firefox. I also tried logging out and logging back in, and private mode for both browsers. I also tried requesting desktop site (not private) with the same result. The same links on desktop (firefox on windows) seem fine.

I load the home page and click on any of the catchup titles LN and manga, and tap "read now" and any of the parts. Every title I've tried lead to https://j-novel.club/404 .

I next tried the "titles" tab and scrolled through the list and randomly picked anything with the same 404 result as above.

I haven't read all posts, so I don't know if someone else already complained about it, but for me it looks a lot harder to find the latest parts released, and unless I check the "ad" for new titles (which I never did), I can't see what new titles are being released, while before I could just start a new series on a whim if I saw the first volume was still available.
Also what does following a title means? I had expected to at least be able to use it find the available parts for what I'm following, but the page remains empty.

To put it in fewer words, the new design outright sucks.

If you go to Calendar, you can filter by followed series only: https://j-novel.club/calendar?restrict=followed&rel=subscription

I’m also getting 404 errors when trying to read parts on my iPad in Safari😞

I like the new Reader but is there a way to increase the Font Size?

@Nosgoroth @LegitPancake @MasterLillyclaw @yzh4rjdzob6 @Darksongwind The 404 issue on Safari has been fixed, please try now and let us know if it still doesn't work.

chocolatkey

@BartzBB As mentioned in the list of issue, this will be added soon, as well as font style and other features

@chocolatkey The page itself “loads” (it goes to the proper link instead of just a 404 page), but the actual reader isn’t loading any text. Just infinitely loading grey screen - both when I use WiFi and when I use my data plan (as my WiFi is rather poor).

EDIT: Actually, all the manga are loading just fine for me, it seems to be solely the novels that are infinitely loading.

@chocolatkey All the LN and manga links I tried works in safari and firefox. Thank you

Lapoule

@chocolatkey The novels reader isn’t properly loading as someone said before me. I can’t post screencaps but it’s just grey, showing that it’s loading but never actually ends even after a couple of mins waiting.

Edit: Aight, since my comments are completely ignored, I think I’m just gonna stick with the old reader eh. Then just unsubscribe and wait for the ebooks.

Gamen

@MasterLillyclaw Same. I suspect it's because the new reader uses Blob.text(), which isn't supported by my version of Watefox Classic... According to MDN it's not supported in Safari either, but maybe the data's out of date if it worked for yzh4rjdzob6?

I haven't really used much the beta site, but I see there's still no "coming soon/upcoming parts" space on the homepage. Rather I find that huge "Our Latest Titles" space pretty useless. It forces me to always scroll down to see anything else on it... The old homepage shows much more info compared to it. 😕

chocolatkey

@MasterLillyclaw couod you post the version of your OS and the model of your device?

Terabyte

Hmm, where do I find the RSS link for my followed series? Can't find any icon or link even looking at the source code of the pages.
