The books are interesting. However, they never seem to end. It's like the writers try to drag out the stories, with the main protagonists becoming extras. I have completed two books, or so I thought, as I keep seeing chapters being added, each more boring than the other, though the mains characters are happily together. Additionally, chapters aren't cheap, yet some of the writers tend to repeat background stories throughout, that you end up wasting coins just to skip and move on.
Reviews for Webfic - Fantastic Reading
← Back to Webfic - Fantastic ReadingThe way that it's setup is not cool. When trying yo use the points to read it cheats. For example ten coins for 45 minutes but it never happens. It start you way back instead of you being able to start where you left off. It takes your coins and you only read but a few minutes. I pray that y'all will do better. Whoever design it I wish you would of thought it out and made it better. Y'all make it hard to read a book.
I don't like that I have to spend money for moving forward in chapters, I like kindle where you spend a set price or sometimes they give you free options.. I'm not going to spend money every time I want to elevate chapters. I also discovered that if you're already reading a new chapter & you get to at least two paragraphs & you scroll up previous chapters to remember what you've read, it charges you points again, especially if it's the next day. This app is taking points. Don't scroll up!!🤬
I really like the stories. There are a few errors in the reading here and there but nothing I can't get past. The biggest problem I have is that it costs points to unlock chapters and they get used up fast since some of the chapters are ridiculously short. Getting more points outside of waiting and watching ads is very expensive. Costs way less to get a several book series than it does to read one story if your a big reader.
The books are interesting, some do need to be edited more however, some authors seem to have no intention of ever completing their books. Normal books, even on recognized sites such as Amazon or Barnes and Noble have set prices. On these sites, you can easily spend hundreds to finished a story as some chapters are over 1100 and more. It isn't fair, but it's up to the reader if you are that invested.
Book was second rate, a lot of repetition and bad grammar but, the story was interesting if you could look past the same descriptive words being used over and over. The author confused herself and was calling people by the wrong names. Hopefully they will use the comments left by the readers to edit the book. The worst part of my experience with this app was the cost. I paid over $40 and didn't get to finish the book. I can't justify spending more money to continue the book, so app is deleted.
Content is great! Actually getting through reading it is awful! Having to pay more than a hard cover book yo purchase and then being cut off from reading until they add more chapters is ridiculous. Put the book online in full, give it a price and let readers do what they do. I'm invested in the story I am reading so I am putting up with your BS, but I will never read another one.
Love the books. After so many chapters though you have to unlock chapters with "coins". I needed 9 coins the first time, and figuring I would need more, I purchased 1000. Let me unlock the 1st time. 2and time I purchased 500. I used it once, only needed 9 coins. So now I have spent 15 dollars on this book and they want me to purchase more! Forget it. I could have bought the book for that much. Good luck reading their books!
Terrible! As many others posted, you have to use coins to unlock each chapter and chapters are broken up into such tiny sections that you can read one in just a few minutes. If you pay for coins so you can read the books, you can expect to pay over $100 to read just ONE book. That's asinine! The book I tried to read had an interesting plot, but it's poorly written, almost as if it were translated into English but not by someone who truly understands it. Don't waste your time.
My review is pretty much the same with the other 1 stars. Unfinished books. Super expensive to binge read. Insufficient bonus opportunities and too many ads for so little. I was lucky enough to get caught in a 'short' book of 400 chapters...and it could've ended there but did a reincarnation loop...so more awaits. Once it's done though...app will be deleted. One addition. The subscription is supposed to be ad free. But they aren't even reduced...so I am ripped off by false advertising. Bye.
Nope, nope, NOPE!!! Not going to finish the wonderful story. I'm going to delete the app!!!! Other free reads that I subscribe to, which are many, you only have to watch an ad at the end of every chapter. The ad is 30 to 60 seconds long. Here it's coins a lot of coins. The book would cost more than a hardback from a well-known author. I'm so sorry I can't afford it on SS. So don't add if you don't have a lot of coins....a lot of coins.
Update The rewards page still gets stuck sometimes. But more frustrating than that is the way this app works. It takes almost 20 coins to read 1 chapter, but you less than 10 for checking in most days and the adds only give you 4 at a time. That's a lot to go through just to read one chapter of a "free" app. It's easy to loose interest in the story having to jump through all the hoops. FRUSTRATING!!!!! About 1 month later, I'm unistalling this app, it takes too much just to read 1 chapter a day.
I've found one story I've gotten hooked on, but the problem with this app is that it doesn't give you too terribly many options to earn enough points to read very far into the stories. Each "chapter" isn't an actual chapter, but a couple to a few paragraphs and then, "Earn More Points". And I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pay $20 just to only be able to read half of a "book". I'd rather go spend $10-$15 on an actual book that doesn't require adds & little gimmicks on earning points to read on.
I've been reading the same book for about 4 months now... it never seems like it's going to end. They're constantly adding new characters, so many that even the author seems confused (using the wrong names in several conversations). The story line is interesting, but it costs way too much to continue to read ONE book. Each chapter costs a different amount of points, but are literally only about 3 to 4 paragraphs. (I'm on chapter 1300 and it shows that I've only completed 52% of the book.)
Rip-off. I bought the coins to continue with just the on story I liked but then it wouldn't allow me to use the coins, the book was subscription only. That info, of course, was not provided before purchasing the coins. so I spent money on coins I can use and when I reaches out to the customer service,no response. Complete rip off for authors that have promising stories but most definitely need an editor. DO NOT download app, cannot understand the high rating at all.
I can't stand this app! I shouldn't have to pay for short stories! That should be a coin purchase option as well! 19.99 a week for short stories is ridiculous, especially when you have both long and short. I'd rather just watch ads for coins to unlock for free. Now I've gotten sucked into 2 stories that I can't finish without paying $20 for maybe 20 chapters. It's not worth it, and I can't afford $20 a week.
I downloaded it to read one story, story was good though it ended on a cliffhanger wish it had a better ending. I was half way through the story till the membership popped up that is so expensive. I'm not sure how they excuse those prices . So I just briefly red the ending. The app could be a lot better, good story just needs more chapters and a better ending. Maybe they could do something with coins you use to read a few chapters or let you finish one or two stories then do the membership.
This app is horrible and a complete rip-off. They charge a ridiculous amount of money per week $19.99 to have access to books, but you have to buy coins to read the books after reading a few chapters for free. If I am paying that much money per week those books I want to read should be free. I have no idea how Webfic has an overall 4.5-star rating. Oh, and they have a monopoly over the books on their app as you can't read them anywhere else. Do not waste your time or money!!!
Too expensive. There're normal books with the usual pay per chapter. Then there's short stories, which u need to pay a subscription for. The subscription is $20/week! And it's only for the short stories! u still need to pay for the normal book chapters! The book I was reading doesn't even have an info page so I have no idea if it's even going to be updated. Web novel/toon apps are getting to be so excessive with their pricing. Especially when some of these "authors" write like a middle schooler
Short stories are my favorite type of reading on these apps, but the price for reading them on this app is outrageous! $19.99 per WEEK is ridiculous. Some apps charge that for an entire month, and even that is too much. Some apps charge a ¼ of that per month, so although the story I was reading was interesting, I will be deleting this money-hungry, price gouging app. Many more better apps out there to choose from.
