Update that should make reading smoother: Unlock all. When you hit a premium chapter, you'll now see an "Unlock all" button right below the usual 5-coin unlock. This unlocks every remaining premium chapter of that novel. Pricing is exactly the same (5 coins per chapter); if your balance doesn't cover the whole set, the button stays grayed out until it does. Happy uninterrupted binge reading!

Hey everyone—our contact email was previously listed incorrectly. This has now been fixed. The correct email is [email protected]. Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for your understanding!

Hey guys! Some of you asked how our pricing works, so: every dollar splits in half.

• 50% goes straight to our team of translators.
• 50% goes into our licensing fund, so we can eventually work directly with the authors and publishers behind these stories.

Right now we have 'pre-licensing' pricing. As we grow and those partnerships come together, our costs go up, and the number of chapters we can leave free will be more limited. Thanks for reading with us this early.

Here's a look at our chapter reviewer, the screen our (team of 4, but growing) translators work in. Chinese on the left, English on the right, lined up neat and nice. Every chapter you've read has passed across this screen. More peeks behind the curtain soon.

It's been brought to our attention that most of our readers read from mobile devices. Sorry I didn't even notice T-T. Some big improvements have been made for mobile:

• reworked icon formatting for both the chapter reader and general navbars.
• smaller font size for reading; the range for font size has also been increased
• fixed an error where tapping a novel cover did not redirect to the novel page
• bookshelf carousel on the landing page has been adjusted for mobile
• dragging and dropping novels on the browse page now works!

Hey guys! Quick intro to the group here. Nori Novels was started by me and a group of highschool friends. We mostly translate Baihe, sapphic Chinese works. We do use AI/CAT tools to help translate, although we review and revise every chapter. We aim to translate 3 novels per week, although that number may slow down once school starts. Enjoy reading!
