Goodnovel Reviews 70

This is, without question, one of the most disappointing apps I have encountered. The cost to unlock individual chapters is exorbitant and wildly disproportionate to their value—at the same price, one could easily purchase several full-length books. Additionally, the subscription model is misleading: rather than providing access for the stated duration, it merely unlocks a limited number of chapters. To compound the confusion, the app offers multiple overlapping subscriptions that begin and end simultaneously, a structure that is both illogical and unnecessarily complicated.

Awful scam site! Started reading and got to chapter 14 then it wouldn't let me read any further without purchasing coins. I purchased £9.99 worth with haven't appeared on my account and now its taken me vack to chapter 12 so if the coins do ever turn up I have to pay from there. Daylight robbery

One of the worst apps I have used for reading.poor quality writing. I spent over 100 pounds for a book which stopped 3/4 of the way as they said it’s not been completed! Can you imagine??!! It’s a big big scam! DO NOT download it!

It’s a straight up scheme. It advertises that you can download the book for free, but it’s a pay per tiny chapter scam. It would cost over $100 to read one book. It’s insane!

What a rip off!! You need to keep buying coins to read, and it gets super expensive for a single book! It’s not worth the money. Don't bother with this app - stick to kindle, it’s better value!

Total con don't be sucked in, they lure you with free chapters then when you are invested you will pay through the nose to keep going...

While the novel I am reading is enjoyable the site is rubbish it will take me months to read it for free and and to pay is extortionist far above what you would pay outright for the book. Unfortunatley I cant find the book im reading anywhere as I would buy it. These sitez reel you in with a good amount of chapters free then the cost comes in or your constantly warching ads to get coins to read for free on the whole waste of time reading from this site

 I didn’t get far into the novel when I had to purchase it if I wanted to continue. $14.99. OK, it was an interesting. read so I paid it. A few chapters later, I was hit with another choice which was I pay $24.99 or be locked out … again. I was furious, but I paid it because I really wanted to know the ending of the story. Then the book disappeared and was replaced with another title at the beginning of the story. I’ve had enough so I contacted my credit card and got a refund.

I signed up to GoodNovel as a writer and ended up signing a contract. Worst decision of my life. Offered 50/50 split of all profit, but what I didn't realise is that they added that they could charge anything they like to my half, which ended up leaving me with roughly 1%. Never saw any of the money my book earned, even with thousands of views.

They do not treat their writers well and expect them to churn out content for peanuts and be grateful for it. All the while, if you're one of the truly unlucky, they own all your work, and you can't do anything about it.

What a CON. How is this legal? I feel such an idiot. I started reading a book on Facebook and enjoyed it so downloaded the app to carry on reading it but the cost to carry on was £9.99 which is more than I’d usually spend on a book. Turns out the £9.99 didn’t buy me all the book just the next 30 chapters and if it want to read more I have to pay another £9.99. The chapters are a few pages long do I suspect reading the whole book would cost about £100. Scammers. Don’t be sucked in

The chapters get more and more expensive, after a while it becomes impossible to keep reading unless you want to spend crazy amounts of money.
The first 3-4 pay wall chapters you can read with your daily bonus but after a while it takes days to get a free chapter and the bonus you save disappear every few days...
