Rental System
-
I am older so not planning on re-reading a lot of light novel books so no need to purchase. The other factor is I have no one to leave them to (grandkids are 1 -4) and no idea what they would want to read etc.
Renting is a good option as it lets me maximize books read for my subscription price. I do think there is a point though when a series is a lot of parts that it is not as advantageous.
-
I've been with JNC since the beginning so I've already read any series I was interested in using the pre-pubs and got the premium version for the extras, but it's great to see JNC making good use of the coin system to give people an option they have requested (especially as JNC now has quite the back catalogue).
-
At first I thought the rental period was a little long for a part that should only take 30-60 minutes to read. But given the discount applied during that time, I now think it's too short. Unless perhaps the rental periods extend each other? Interesting idea though.
-
@Kurzaa I respectfully disagree. 72 hours should be plenty of time for you to decide if you want to purchase a book. Especially with the ability to read before you buy.
-
The 72 hours is per Part to my understanding (I had originally thought it was the entire Volume).
I think 72 hours per Part is a good compromise. On the subscriber side between work and real life things could happen so having three days to read a Part makes me feel safer. Even though it is 40 coins only if something should happen I would probably be planning every book I could complete using them and wouldnt want to waste them.

I reading https://j-novel.club/series/reincarnated-as-an-apple and Subscription access to volume 2 not ended, but I can't read volume2 part 2 and next parts. This is a bug or new system work like this?
-
@lifespirit Rentals are only available after the volume has expired! You can see the expiration date for volume 2 is March 15, so please wait until it gets expired next week!
-
@myskaros but I have regular membership. I think I can read book2 right now... But when I try I get message: "Rent Reincarnated as an Apple: This Forbidden Fruit Is Forever Unblemished! Volume 2 Part 2
You don't currently have access to this part. You can rent it for 72h of temporary access, or buy the full volume and reap the benefits!"
-
@lifespirit Ah, that looks like a bug. I will let our devs know about this right away!
-
@lifespirit Sorry for the inconvenience, but we should have a fix coming very soon! I'll post when you can try again.
-
@lifespirit This bug should be fixed now! Sorry again for the inconvenience!

There are some series such as The Apothecary Diaries which dont support the rental system yet, will they start to support it by a specific date?
-
Hello,
While we strive to offer all of our licensed series for rental that is not always an option.
There is no specific date for when series that do not have a rental option will.
If you wish to read the book your only option is purchasing the ebook.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
