Rating, installs and the update date describe the official app on Google Play, not this build. Versions and sizes change often. These were current at the time of writing — if you spot one that has drifted, tell us.
Where it stands
Works in its favour
- The smallest download on the site at ~52MB.
- 4.7 across 4.31M ratings — the second-largest review base here.
- Published by GoodNovel, a web-fiction house, so the catalogue leans on adapted novels.
Worth knowing first
- Has a daily episode allowance — the only app here that does.
- That web-fiction lean cuts both ways — less range if adapted novels are not what you came for.
