if it helps
If you wanted to help it would be better to try other browsers than mislead them like that.

@Nosgoroth said in Beta Website Feedback:
Something like adding books to a wishlist should be fine, though.
Probably still depends on phrasing and app reviewer. Should be safer to avoid that on initial release anyway.
-
@Nosgoroth You can use Audible credits in-app without incurring the wrath of Apple, so there is precedent.
-
@LegitPancake Hmmm. I wonder if it being Amazon has something to do with it, though.

May I ask what that is? If you don't know what I mean, look at this screenshot of your post;
I've always thought it was some decoration users here sometimes used when posting, but going by the layout of your post I'm seriously starting to doubt that.
It doesn't untangle if you copypaste it to google search, nor if you paste it google translate. What the heck is that? -
@Korppi Good old Zalgo! You can find a technical explanation here, but essentially it's unicode control character stuff.
-
@Kalessin I mostly disagree with this. I like this feature a lot, mostly because I pre-order a lot. So it might just be a case where it doesn't add value to your use case but does add value for other users that take advantage of an option you chose to not use (pre-ordering). I do agree though that there should be a way to make the notification disappear after seeing it, like maybe once expanding on that series it can go away.
@Daiz two questions:
I'm primarily using the site on mobile. When I go to a series there is a legend that says subscription in green but it isn't clear what this does. Is this for prepubs or for following a series or what does this represent?The other question is on the beta account page, next to my name it says Regular. Is this a membership tier to differentiate from premium? I'm a premium member so I wasn't sure what regular means here or if it is just not configured yet to show the real membership tier?
To echo what a few other people said, it would be nice to be able to link to a series from the library directly by clicking the name or something. I'll give more comprehensive feedback this week though. I do really really like the direction things seem to be going with the site from what I can see and has been described as part of the roadmap. I think it is a great improvement and I'm excited to see how it develops!

Its would be better for J-Novel to have Reading list Feature
-
Please please please do not have anything that moves on the page. I get dizzy from seeing motion, and the animation that is currently on the beta page would make the website much more difficult for me to use.
-
@strangeattractor Maybe it could be implemented as support for the
prefers-reduced-motionmedia query. Do you use a setting like that in your OS/browser? -

When such a setting is available I use it, but I don't think it would solve the problem for me in this case.

Just noticed how a few of the most recent titles have the Japanese volumes and original release date. I really like this addition, want to see it added to the rest of the titles.

For the Dev team, is it possible to make all of these collapsible? Cover images of some series can have spoilers.
-
I just noticed that on the user page where you can download the volumes that you've purchased, Arifureta's short stories volume is currently listed as volume 11, which presumably means that when volume 11 finally comes along, it will be listed as volume 12. I'm guessing that that page currently just lists the volumes with an incrementing volume number, but it should probably be more intelligent about it given that that's not going to work with all series.
-
@Kalessin I think they should left the volume number column the way it is but add the book title somewhere.
Every series numbered its volumes differently: arifureta as a SS vol, Grimgar use + and ++, Rokujouma .5 , Bookworm has parts, Crest/Banner of the star are 2 series, Ao Oni has no number,...
So it's probably better to left it the way it is, where it clearly indicate reading order and add a column for the book title so that people know to which book it corresponds. -
@strangeattractor Yes, the animation on the main page is SUPER annoying.
-
When in the list of titles or in the series details, would it be possible to get a larger cover image when clicked on? Don't know if full size would be possible but even if it is just to the same size as the images on the homepage would be nice.
-
Is it possible to redeem Mangas on the beta website? I noticed when I tried to buy Bookworm Manga, it allow me to redeem using credits

This post is deleted! -
Unfortunately not.
said in Manga Ebook FAQ (UPDATE: 21 August 2019 - KINDLE BOOKS ONLINE):
Q3: What about premium editions? I've got credits to spend!
A3: At the moment, there are no manga premium editions. This may change in future if we can get DRM-Free distribution approval, but will be on a title by title basis. Please note that no additional content will be in any premium editions vs. the standard ebook.Q4: The site says I can get premium.
A4: This is a known bug with the site. We're working on a way to disable premium when it's not available and apologise for the inconvenience and confusion.Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

Manga FAQ
Premium Content List -
@Rahul-Balaggan Is that only pointed out in that members-only-access thread you linked? That seems like the sort of information that should be accessible to people before they purchase a membership, not after, especially since the bug makes it appear that they’re purchasable to a non-member.
Like in “What is a Premium E-book credit and how do I get them?” on the FAQ: say “Any Premium E-book can be purchased for 1 Premium Credit. [This applies to novels only; manga cannot currently be purchased with Premium Credits.]” Or something like that.
Even after the bug is fixed and the premium button isn’t available, I think that would lead people to ask “why is there no premium button for manga? Do they take Premium Credits?” So it would still be worth being written out somewhere non-members can see.
