(Unofficial) Android/Win10 Rokujouma Reader. Nice Things status: can not be had.

The problem is, when I quit the app and try to get back in, the top part that shows the titles just sits there and says "loading".

I don't remember the specifics but that probably wasn't an issue in my use case (logged in and with "use alternative API" toggled on). I also thought it was something I introduced after 0.2.4 (not in public builds). Or maybe some new metadata from JNC broke old versions — this happens sometimes and using alternative API may help because I can just update things on server side.

Anyway, I fixed that or a similar problem few weeks ago but encountered some other problems with building. I'll try to make a new one in a few hours or sometime this weekend if it won't go that well.

version 0.2.5:

Hopefully more stability thanks to some rewritten code
Less frequent 503 errors when opening manga
Settings bar can be brought up in the scrolling reader by double-tapping in android or pressing space in UWP

@cimmadif can't reproduce anything similar to your issue now. If it still occurs you can check the logs (about->show log) on first run when it seemingly fails to save and subsequent runs when it seemingly fails to load. Or errors in adb logcat.

Whatever you did, seems to have fixed it. Working perfectly now.
I have my new J-novel App.

Thank You !!

version 0.2.6:

Added a page with recently read parts (one per serie)
- Right now top few are ordered by publication date, bottom — by reading date. It may or may not change in the future.
- Individual part's percentage indicator in the list will change properly right away, but it won't switch to a newer part or change the position in the list unless you reload/restart app
- Manga may show as last page of last read chapter instead of 0th page of a newer chapter because manga progress is stored in a dumb way
You can now pick how long to stay logged in (between 1 and 365 days)
Support for <h4> tag in prepub reader, slightly better <img> url parsing
Android: fixed a bug that resulted in a too few columns on novel/manga list page
Horizontal paged reader: fixed an old regression that caused pages and images to shrink vertically as long as text fits

I was able to install 0.2.5 in both my phone (Android 9) and ereader (Android 6), but got "App not installed" and "There was a problem parsing the package" for 0.2.6. Pretty sure it's not incomplete download becaused I've tried redownloading. Is the file corrupted?

It's pretty hard to make a corrupt file nowadays. However, uploading wrong (unsigned) is trivial and it's not even the first time I made this mistake.

I uploaded a proper package (RokujoumaReader.RokujoumaReader_signed.apk) to the same folder and made sure it actually installs (I don't always do that because I normally install to my devices from dev tools instead).

@_08 Thanks! Nice new feature too with the series name in different page, as it was quite wieldy. The lack of official app is disheartening but yours is a savior.

If there's one thing I wish it has though, it's a white version interface. On a phone it's no big deal, but would make a big difference in comfort on an ereader.

I was historically trying to simply use system theme but apparently it's not even a thing on android because fuck consistency let's make everyone ~~reinvent~~ paint the wheels.

I was trying to make dark and light themes work recently but without android 10+ I can't even test it properly.

You aren't supposed to stay in those menus too long anyway and actual reader has color options (whole two of them).

@_08 Many thanks for a great client, especially with the addition of the "Recently read" view.

Would it be possible for you to add the option to hide fully read parts at least from the "Recently read" view?

_08

@Icerius I'll try to add that soon along with some other sorting options. Probably not for manga, though, because it's been like half a year and I still don't know how I want to implement chapter's length/percentage storage (it stores read pages count instead of % because that's how JNC's reader does it for some reason).
