Hello,
this is actually a known glitch.
Sometimes when you get to the near the end of a part, it skips several pages and throws you to the end.
Best solution right now is to go back a few pages to where you last were.
Sorry about that.
-
Just for the record, it happens only in web reader parts that have images. The more images, the more pages skipped: 1 image = 1 skipped page. As @Rahul-Balaggan said, going until the end of the part and then back then loads all the pages properly.
(TECHNICAL NOTE: The problem is the code that splits the content into pages doesn't account for the images. After that the images actually load and add further pages that aren't taken into account until you arrive at the end. A (temp?) fix would be for the code to scan the content and add 1 additional page by default for each
<img>element found. Hopefully it is fixed once the new site goes up.) -
@Terabyte Not only on the webreader. also the iOS app. I tend to go always back after reaching the end to check if there is nothing skipped. Although I did not notice that it was because of pictures.
-
@saskir Oh, interesting. It doesn't happen in the Android app.
-
I've personally never seen this glitch in the iOS app (original and beta) and I use it almost every day. Only on the webpage.
-
@Terabyte I've seen it in the Android app (the old one... New one doesn't have that problem) usually it's just the sentence immediately before the image and not the whole page, though.
-
@pcj Yeah, that's a different (known) issue. 😋

@Rahul-Balaggan While you’re at it, can you guys fix the “screen rotation causing the novel text pane to be incorrectly sized” issue as well?
I use Safari on iPad to read the novels (the iOS app is not working well), and I find the following issues:
-
Landscape mode does not make use of the horizontal space effectively. More text is displayed in portrait mode compared with landscape mode for the same screen.
-
Rotating between landscape and portrait will mess up the placement of the toolbar, such that in portrait mode the toolbar sits in the middle of the screen and cannot be moved.

@anony-mouse99 The app available on the public app store is obsolete and no longer being updated. I would encourage you to try out the beta app which is currently available. Please refer to this forum topic for more information:

@myskaros Thanks! I’ve enrolled in the TestFlight beta.
-
@anony-mouse99 Try the reader @Crimson-Wise made. I find it better for reading than the beta app and has a far better UI.
Go to http://crimson-jnc-reader.appspot.com and add it to your home screen.
-
@sniper_samurai Thanks for the recommendation, the UI does look nice.
The only caveat is that the sign in page seems to be proxied by the website? I’m wary of giving out my credentials to 3rd parties.
-
If you have a j-novel userid, j-novel's website is who's going to authenticate it anyway, so where else would it go? If you're using a social login, the app still has to log into j-novel's website so it would have to hit there anyway, but in theory it should redirect to said social site for the actual login, then redirect back to j-novel to complete it after you log in. (caveat: I'm not a j-novel developer, I'm just explaining how I'd expect it to work)

Well, on the app you're putting your real credentials, and while I'm using them to directly authenticate with the JNC API from the browser, technically I could do anything I want with them (note: I don't.) JNC's API doesn't support OAuth to delegate that work to their website (and I don't expect them to do.)

That's completely fair, and a good security habit. While people are free to use my app, at this point in time, requests and improvements should probably be directed to the JNC team for the beta app, since they are working on that.

As others have said it's a glitch, and an annoying one at that.
I make it a point that when I'm done reading any section, I'll page back/forward 3-4 times to ensure I saw it all. Especially suspicious if you see if go from like 79% to complete.
