GoodNovel Reviews

I must say - someone came up with a great way to scam unsuspecting people. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since it was Facebook that brought me here. Innocently enough, it started with a Facebook post on my feed. I began reading what felt could be an interesting short story. Before I knew it, I... Show more was at Chapter 4 with no way to continue unless I downloaded GoodNovel. Seemed harmless enough so I did - and got to about Chapter 7 where it insisted I pay for coins to continue reading. Well at that point I was invested so I paid $5.99 for several hundred coins. NOWHERE did it state how many coins might be needed to complete the story nor did it provide any information on how many coins would be charged for every new chapter. Well, I blew through the hundreds of coins in about 40 minutes and about seven chapters with the story still nowhere near the end. At that point I decided to cut my losses and walk away. No way was I going to pay another $6 for more coins without disclosure of how many would be needed to finish the story! This was a complete scam. Amateur writers with no editors should not cost more than bestseller novels from a trusted book store. The story contained so many typographical errors - it was difficult to read. Learn the proper use of contractions and commas for goodness sake! Basic sentence structure, please.
Avoid this scam at all costs - unless you have no better way to spend your time and money. Definite RIP-OFF!

Maaan! I just deleted GoodNovel! I’ve had it 3 days! And all 3 days I used it.. ALOT! I love to read! And these were good stories! But it runs off a “earn coin” or “purchase coins”.. which is great! If it worked like it was suppose too! Every story I read, would just start getting good then you ha... Show more d to pay for the next chapter.. JUST 1.. maybe 8 pages?! From anywhere to 11-75 coins! You could earn coins kind of.. 3 for watching ads. But they only allow so many you can watch. Then 5, for reading for 15 minutes on the platform. Which I did. Several times.. for 3 days! And I received the 5 coins once daily. Oh you get 20 everyday, for showing up. But if you preorder the next chapter. It takes you coins.. and you have no clue where the book is you subscribed too.. I can read a whole book or 2 in 3 days! I haven’t finished any on GoodNovel.. which is why I didn’t bother to pay for anything on it. It’s a scam.. it’s great for starting writers! But not for thirsty readers.. I wish GoodNovel wouldn’t have tried to screw the writers so much! I would gladly go to my local library and check these books out.. mistakes and all!!

So I was on Facebook and this story pops up. Marriage by Mistake. I started reading and was like oooh exciting. So I downloaded GoodNovel and started to read the story. I got to a point where you had to purchase coins for the story. I’m like sure I will buy the book for $5. So thinking I bought th... Show more e book I started reading. Enjoying the way the book was going and boom I would have had to pay more. I was like what. So read the comments and seen that the book was on going. I don’t believe that it was worth more than that so I did not by more. I waited for free coins. Once I received them I read. Eventually the story got to a point where I knew it was going to turn but it never did. I made it to chapter 116 before I deleted GoodNovel . The writer has talent but I’m not sure if they actually know how to make a book that continues in a good way. I believe that the writers have to write a certain amount each day. There is a way to continue a book without continuing the same story and the writer lacks in that department. It’s kind of disappointing. If you are reading this I suggest not to get caught in a web. You will not be happy when you spend 100 plus and the story is pretty much the same. I don’t know what the ending is but I can tell you getting to chapter 116 wasn’t worth more than the $5 I spent. Good luck

Saw the ad on Facebook for the book about Charlie Wade and thought it was just some short story that someone posted so I started reading it and after a while it said in order to finish the story I had to download GoodNovel so of course I downloaded GoodNovel without thinking or reading any review... Show more s and continue reading I get about 30 chapters in and suddenly a chapter is locked so I buy the cheapest points possible the $5.99 for 600 thinking that’ll get me through the rest of the book because it was only going to charge me nine points to continue reading little did I know it was nine points per chapter after that I ended up getting to about chapter 60 still hooked in the story even though it was poorly written I was invested by this point again not enough tokens to continue reading so stupidly I bought another 600 I am now $12 into this book and haven’t even gotten halfway through the story. I decided today to check out GoodNovel and see if I could find out how many chapters are in this book since I’m running low on points again. This is an 800+ chapter book meaning it would be cheaper to just go to a bookstore and buy a hardback Limited addition version of a book then it would be to read one here. GoodNovel is a scam and charges way too much money for mediocre books

I wanted to read one novel. Started reading on Facebook, and decided to continue reading on GoodNovel . I don’t mind paying ten bucks for a good book, but the book I was reading had more than 200 chapters. I was on chapter 40 something, and that was ten bucks. No way am I paying fifty or more dolla... Show more rs for a book. Especially since these books are not all that good. I enjoyed the story, but the grammar, spelling, and punctuation were atrocious. I can overlook that as these authors are new, and this is an app for amateur writers, but their books are not yet worth the kind of money I’d need to shell out to read them. GoodNovel need to either give way more free coins per day, make the chapters cost less coins to unlock, or make the coins much much cheaper, or else this is just a complete rip off. I’ve read the response from the developer to some other commenters about this being a scam, and I just want to say that the developers keep saying they want to give us affordable books and that we are supporting the authors so they can write good books. First of all, the books are not affordable, nor are they good enough to justify the cost, and secondly, I don’t mind supporting a good author, but these books aren’t even well written! (The storyline was great, though!)

So I started reading a story they had on this app and at some point I knew I’d have to pay something for the rest of the story. Chapter after chapter I read until chapter 20 (which each chapter was only about 3-4 small pages on my phone, likely at most 2 pages of a typical paperback) when at the ... Show more end it asks me to spend 10 coins which is an in app purchase where you can buy 600 for $5.99, 1000 for $9.99, and so on increments of chips. I decided to look and see how many chapters there were and I find that there are over 2500 chapters to this story…. Doing a little math at 10 coins per chapter it would take over 25,000 coins which was over $200 just for this story that while yes it has a ton of chapters I’d say at least 3 or 4 chapters maybe 5 would need to be added together for to be a normal chapter of a book. These kind of micro transactions is just pure greed preying upon those who don’t pay attention to these things until they’d spent money and more money and more thinking they were almost complete with the story. Was the story pretty good? Yes it really was but is it worth $200 for me to read til the end, absolutely not. Buyer beware everyone, don’t fall for this scam like app.

I got hooked to one of the books on Facebook, so I downloaded GoodNovel and kept reading. It was never mentioned anywhere that you will need to buy coins to continue reading. I would be ok maybe paying $10, but it seems like it is going to be a never ending story with hundreds of dollars lost. In... Show more previous reviews someone mentioned that if you were to buy an entire Harry Potter series or Game of Thrones, you’d pay similar amount of money. I bought and read both, and I consider that a great way of spending money. This, however, is a complete opposite. It seems like it is written by a child, completely careless of the outcome. Zero editing or proofreading. A premature baby born after 10 months of pregnancy, mixed up names, F country, “arriving to a certain location”, “reasonable reason”, a 5-year old hacking a computer and developing a tracker and self-defense device- these are some of the memorable screw ups. The author feels like they need to explain everything and remind everything over and over again, to the point when I, as a reader, feel like a 5-year old. I have to give it to the developers and authors - it is a completely new way of scamming people not only for money, but for the intellectual abilities- who knows how many IQ points one can lose over reading this combination of soap operas plots and minimal writing skills after very heavy hangover. Scammers!

I’ve gotten sucked into a story and have paid $20 dollars already and am only on chapter 75. Mind you each chapter is about 10-12 iPhone screen sized pages. Do not start reading Facebook stories. This is where it all starts. The complete lack of editing is extremely distracting. And if I’m paying w... Show more hat is looking like $40 to read one book that if in print would be around 200 pages, I expect so much more for the money invested. The authors are great story tellers but GoodNovel is too much. Don’t censor the cuss words for Pete’s sake. It’s like it’s on an automatic filter and puts asterisk where there was no foul language. My desperate hope is that the authors are getting most of this money and not the developers. I’ll be deleting GoodNovel as soon as I’m done. I’m halfway through Alpha Asher and I’ve already spent $20. Each chapter is 40-50 coins so no each day is not enough “earned coins” to get any value. GoodNovel is by far the most expensive with ridiculous costs. No where do they give any idea about how much it would cost to finish the book which is the scam part in my mind. If the pricing was upfront then you could make your mind up if the book is worth it.

Honestly when I saw the ads and book snippets for GoodNovel i was intrigued by it and was willing to download GoodNovel . At first, it seemed pretty decent, similar to many other apps that replaced wattpads nsfw/some sfw reading selection. But the longer I’ve had and been on GoodNovel , the more I... Show more notice how unfinished it seems and how absolutely ridiculous the coin to reading system is. So far, every book I’ve started only gives you a handful of free chapters before you have to spend coins or bonus points on the next chapter, which in general isn’t too bad, but the big flaw with that is how frequently it happens, there are no books that are completely free or at least 90% free. None of the books I’ve encountered have a wait for free chapter option, and when I do want to buy the next chapter with coins/bonus points, the price per chapter ranges so vastly that I don’t even want to read anymore. The books are pretty interesting, and aside from the bad grammar and punctuation in a lot of them, the overall stories are pretty good. I would just like to see some more growth and adjustments to GoodNovel before I decide to scrap it altogether.

Don’t bother with GoodNovel if you enjoy to read and enjoy reading a whole book if you choose to do so. I understand these books are either in the process of being written or someone’s first story but there is a thing called editing. I can get passed all the grammar mistakes but what I can’t get p... Show more assed is reading a chapter or two, maybe three if you’re lucky and then being told you have to pay coins to read, or come back in so many hours or days. Sure you can buy coins just like you can buy e-books on Kindle or Nook so why bother here if you can only read so much if the book is still in the writing process and the coins only give you so much time or limited number chapters!!! As for earning coins, yeah that’s a joke! I read for over and hour different stories as far as I could go before having to wait or pay with coins and got nothing in coins for my time reading!!! I wish all the authors the best but truly GoodNovel isn’t worth it if you are an avid reader and writer like myself. Make some changes and just maybe you will have something. Check out other apps like this one they’re better than this one.

There are a few well written books on this platform, but the editing is atrocious. Even if multiple people point out mistakes no one fixes them. It makes it very distracting trying to read with all of the typos. If you can find the good ones that are interesting reads, then it’s worth it. But you w... Show more ill get no help from the book descriptions or reviews to try to discover the good books. It’s very hard to tell which books are good. Many of the books are terrible, make no sense, and change character names because the authors can’t remember what they wrote. And many of the authors seem like English is not their first language. You can easily tell when it’s someone writing about a country they are not familiar with. Really wish they would find some good editors, at least for the really popular books. And I wish they would write proper descriptions of the books and have more detailed genres. But you will also spend a lot of money trying to finish one book. I have no idea how they determine the price of each chapter, but for cost to value you are better off sticking to big publishers.

I’ve used a few apps like good novel and I tend to bounce between them. Good novel is by far the most expensive! I’ve spent $30 so far and have yet to finish my current book. I’m pretty irritated with how much it costs to read a book that isn’t professionally edited with many mistakes and errors, i... Show more t isn’t finished, and some times it gets worse as the books go on. Some of the books on here are poorly written. However, I’ve found a couple that I’ve enjoyed. So far I like alpha Asher and p.s. you’re my mate. I do not love that it’s costing me almost 3 times as much money as any of the other apps out there. And honestly, as soon as I’m done reading my current book, I probably won’t come back for another one. If you do the daily check ins to simply unlock content and not spend money, it’ll take you a day and a half up to 3 days of check ins to unlock some of the more expensive chapters. So the daily bonuses are pretty pointless sadly. I’m mostly disappointed in how GoodNovel is run, the quality control, and the amount they charge for their poor standard of works. Very sad.

I started off reading “The Amazing Son-In-Law” first. I will admit it is a compelling story. But the liberties taken with the story are as shameless as the characters in the story. The editing is horrible as is the continual synopsis of what was just read at every turn. At times I wondered just how... Show more many people were writing this story. Surely a single author didn’t forget that he had relayed his story, only worded differently, a mere three paragraphs before! I would hate to think that in addition to making each chapter 5-10 pages long, that this was done as a way to increase the text in order to force your good readers to pay even MORE for these stories than is already warranted or necessary! Why for the price I have already paid for this story I could have bought 3 books from a bookstore! Or, failing that, on this very app! It truly is sad and honestly makes me think twice about digital reading material. Maybe print will make a comeback and make apps like this obsolete. There are better ways to EARN the money spent on GoodNovel than by swindling it away from your users.

It is understandable to pay $15-30 for a brand new published book! But to have to spend more that and more to be able to read an unpublished/ in edited book is unfair. Yes you can wait two hours or try to get the free coins from reading time... etc, but the coin requirement for each “episode” incre... Show more ases basically making it impossible for you to earn enough without spending money. You would think writers would want their works to be read and enjoyed, but this is basically forcing you to choose spend lots of money or do not finish the book that you started. The first book I began to read has 99 “episodes” I spent $20 to read the first 50, waited every two hours to read the next 15 and now it says I can only unlock the last part with coins so- which means I will have to spend more money. Mind you these “episodes” range from 10-20 phone pages. Truly unfortunate that I will end up not finishing the book and I have started several others to get the coin reward, which I won’t be finishing either.

First off GoodNovel has a lot of good books!! Problem is there is A Lot of bugs!!! I check in every day and was going good for a while but now it skips days doesn’t give me all of my points doesn’t check me in and when I read it doesn’t count Any of my minutes! The chapters are never the same a... Show more s seen it over charge me a lot which I don’t like because I also pay to read. Which brings me to my next statement which is you have to pay a lot to read, and once again the more points you have the more it charges you per chapter. I have been waiting on an update to fix this and last times I’ve updated it tells me I’m going to get points (100 or so) but never get them! So 3 stars for good books and that’s it! I don’t usually leave reviews (ever) and I would have deleted GoodNovel a long time ago if I wasn’t hooked on the books. I will update my review if this ever gets resolved while I am on it but if it keeps up I will delete GoodNovel .

I’m reading the novel fated to the alpha and I’m super into it and just as it was getting better it froze. It wouldn’t let me go to the next chapter or the previous page, it wouldn’t let me even leave the book I had to exit GoodNovel and close it only for it to say loading when I try to click on t... Show more he Novel to read it again. I ended up deleting GoodNovel and re-downloaded it. I click on the Novel, it made me start over. I go to the chapter I was previously having troubles with (chapter 75) hoping it would be fixed but it did the same thing. I clicked on another novel and it went through easily. I tried to sit and wait for it to load but as 5 minutes turned to 10 I realized it most likely won’t load. I do not want to start another novel until I finish this first one because I’m super into this one and it was the main reason I downloaded GoodNovel to begin with. I’m not sure if it’s something with me or GoodNovel or maybe just the novel itself but I would really like this fixed so I can continue reading the novel please and thank you

As previous reviewers have said I found GoodNovel thru FB and got really into the story and decided to download this app. It’s a great app and a way for Authors to get their books/stories out there and I totally support that…however it is on the more expensive side.
Most apps have in-app purc... Show more hases to do certain things so that’s kind of what I expected here only I’ve spent probably close to $100 on GoodNovel because I do love the stories I just wish the coins you buy for your money weren’t so expensive because they go quick, instead of $5 for the lowest amount I feel $2 and up would be a good start.
There is also the issue with the typos- most stories on here have them, almost as if they are not proofread which can get kind of annoying and at certain same points make it hard to understand. this app is not everyones cup of tea but if you have the money you can find some really great reads on here. I recommend Alpha Asher & Alpha Loren.

I really like the books so far. I’m currently reading 3 at a time to help me rotate and gain the points. So far I haven’t paid anything yet. If you are a very impatient person then you will definitely hate GoodNovel but so far I’m ok. The chapters aren’t massive but they aren’t super short eit... Show more her and sometimes more then one chapter gets unlocked at a time which is nice. I’ve used other point based free apps and so far I like this one better. You can earn points by watching ads, logging in, reading 15min and 30min, adding books to your library and by adding friends. Basically I can earn at least 40 easily a day and there are times when the chapters just unlock plus they have surprise chances to earn the daily points again. I’m not sure if I could use this as my main reading app because I read so much the waiting would kill me but I definitely love it for the additional books I have read.

If you are looking for a digital book that you could buy at the library then this is not for you. Many or most of the stories on here are Massive ongoing stories that would be more comparable to multiple seasons of an ongoing tv series that might leave you hanging for awhile as they get more pages... Show more translated. Yes it is very expensive with some stories having over 2,000 chapters. However, how much money would it have cost you to originally read all books of the Harry Potter series when it first came out or to read all The Game of Thrones books. It is not cheap to read but if you add up the amount of entertainment hours you get, reading something unavailable in stores, it doesn’t seem as painful. I have just accepted it and enjoy them. My only complaint is that the translations are a little slow once you read to the end of what they have completed. Almost like waiting for the next season of your favorite TV Series.

GoodNovel is wonderful, if you are looking for fully published works that have no mistakes whatsoever, don’t bother. If you interested in writing or reading works that are still in the making, this is GoodNovel for you. It is a bit costly. Some works are not complete. You purchase coins, which ar... Show more e used to unlock chapters within the book, a certain number of chapters are free. Authors do make money with GoodNovel, not by chapters, but by their overall word count for the month and it isn’t as much as a book deal. I am proud to say I have spent days on GoodNovel, reading, critiquing, and commenting. Authors want YOUR FEEDBACK. If you find a mistake, you can comment on the paragraph, a different set of eyes is sometimes the only way, and there isn’t a publisher for this. Help out your struggling poets and writers, everyone needs an escape from the world. These are the writers of the future! KEEPING BOOKS ALIVE AND WELL.

I’m extremely disappointed. I actually purchased coins and they disappeared by the next time I needed to spend them. So either it’s spending them without telling you or they just disappeared. Either way, it’s a poor way to cheat people of their money. I’m one who dies spend money on my app entertai... Show more nment but won’t waste my money on this one again obvioyslt

As I am using it for only two days I only received 15 coins and cannot even unlock any chapters after using those coins to unlock one chapter. 😒 given there were a few free chapters but after that now what? I can’t even earn any coins and th only real options is to purchase like wth!

It’s hard to find the good stuff I like to read here. The other problem is that that it’s hard to get enough coins to actually read anything without having to actually buy them

Translation and improved proofreading would make stories easier to read

The novel is decent, and the translation isn’t too bad. It is incredibly expensive, though. And, mainly, the novel just stops. The story is unfinished. Never would have started if I had known that.

The stories are awesome, but a bit pricey.. being a bookworm, i don't mind. I hope they make it less pricey though or maybe look into monthly subscriptions instead

I love it

Good evening, My problem is the bonus. I click on them and ad starts when it is over I click the x to close the ad. When back at the main screen the bonus doesn't collect and the wheel keeps spinning. Exit out reboot click again same problem.

At times, clicking on the app takes you to a different book and it's very difficult to get back to the book that you are reading. I spent $159.99 to join Good Novel and as I was reading the novel, it kept asking for additional money. I ended up spending $44.04 in addition to read up to Chapter 228...

Disappointed is all I can say about this site. You rip off customers by making us believe this is a great thing to join and pay a subscription. What an absolute rip off. I will never buy another subscription from your site ever again.

It is so unfortunate that these books are so expensive. I really enjoyed the story, but you ate ripping people off to get to the end of a story. Will be reporting to whoever I need to!

As everyone said here. Great stories. But much too expensive for the quality and amount of coins it eats. Don’t start reading, you’re setting yourself up for heartbreak and frustration. Lol

This app may have good novels but it just increased their prices to 35 coins per chapter even if it’s a 6 page chapter or 13 page chapter.

THIS IS A MONEY GRAB!!!! Started this book from facebook and was intrigued, so I started on the app. I like the story and got a ways before it asked me to pay for more reading. So I spent $9.99 and it let me read one or two chapters. At that point, I forgot to uncheck the auto chapter renew before... Show more I hit the unlock button. It charged me another $9.99 for ONE chapter. Each chapter is 5-7 I phone pages and takes maybe a minute to read.

This App is a total scam. First few chapters were free and then they were blocked so I signed up for 1000 points. Up to chapter 80 And only 9 points left - so looked up to see how many more there are more than chapters and there are more than 400 chapters. No way I'm continuing with this.. don't kn...

IT NEVER ENDS!! I'VE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN AN APP BEFORE!! DON'T WASTE YOUR PRESCIOUS TIME AND HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS APP...TOTAL RIPPOFF!!

Read the ultimate husband started from Facebook like a lot of people here. Did the free coins a lot and put 15$ Or 20$ into the app. Only around chapter 300 of 1500. The storyline is very captivating but I don’t know that it’s worth starting a book that’s going to cost 100$ and has almost no editing... Show more . Names are constantly wrong and numbers change often as well, sometimes from paragraph or page.

Was looking to find hire many credits to read a book and came across this… people have posted exactly what I was feeling. There should be information on how many credits it costs to read one book.

I bought coins twice . Spent over 30.00 and still only a quarter of the way thru..I Left on chapter 300 and the books last update was for chapter 1100. What a joke....I refuse to pay more.

I did the same thing the other people posted about. Got interested then got to where I had to pay. Paid about $5 I think it was and it was quickly used up. No idea how many chapters or how much it would cost to finish the book. I was on chapter 124 when I stopped which I hated to do because I was ... Show more enjoying the book. Why can't they just tell you the price in full and let you just pay for it? I'm guessing it's because it would be so expensive that no one would buy it!

Even though I got caught up in this scam and spent more money than I’d like, maybe in the future you should give the option of purchasing the book vs chapters of 2000 plus…

Too bad the partial book I read was published under these scamers .the author had a great plot line and the editing was pretty good .I was on chapter 109.

Don’t do it. I also started reading the story that popped up on Facebook so I downloaded the app and it was interesting.

Really annoying, stories not complete, wait time for chapters a joke and you need to continually pay to get to next chapters, books are cheaper on kindle or bookstores. Thought it might be good for some escapism but it’s just annoying

This is a scam. I got sucked in with a couple of free chapters, got to a locked chapter, paid USD9+ to continue reading and I just got locked out again after reading a few more chapters.

Complete scam. Of course meta would be part of scam. You’ll spend hundreds of dollars and still not get the finished book total bullshit. China screwing the world again

Scam!!! Started reading from FB. Little did I know it was going to cost me over $100. The story was captivating.

It is absolutely ABSURD to have to pay over $20 to read ANY book . Let alone from an unknown author. They try and get you hooked on a story to get you to keep paying. What a ripoff!!!

I loved the app until they started locking chapters I had already paid for.

I paid more money than then I have so far on Sex and The City but I don’t buy things until they end. 800 plus Chapters and I can’t figure out the ending no way. Plus he was a billionaire when the story was free. Then he has super powers😵‍💫🙄! Then he can beat up everyone he’s John Wick 😂 lol. Then the wife has that mother who was so different from her??? She believed that people give away $130 million dollar homes? The father in law was the son of the greedy grandma and not the greedy mother? They try to take their house because he was married to someone in the family. I’m not rich but, I’m sure they take pride in getting their own houses and money? I think I will buy the book a little bit 1x a month. It’s like reading a soap opera!

The app is not working I bought 600coins yesterday and it won’t let me read the next chapter.

Disgusted and disappointed. In addition to being outrageously costly, the book I was reading dropped off in the middle of the story. Allow me to repeat: I feel ripped off and conned.

After reading comments about the app and using it I came to my own conclusion. I wouldn't recommend this reading platform to anyone because first, it is fucking expensive, second, it cheats u of your coins.

I purchased coins through Gcash BUT MY COINS HAS NOT TOPPED UP ON THE UP! I DIDN'T RECEIVE THE COINS WORTH MY MONEY!

This response on several of the reviews I have recently read is just outrages "We hope you could understand that you are not only paying for the novel, but also paying to support the author to create good stories". You sucked me in and that is on me to pay but I thought I was paying for a completed book first off and second don't want to pay for this author's college degree I only want to read a good book.

Went through 1000 coins in one y.Its a RIP off not counting the bonus coins I've gotten.The book I am reading but to already spent $11.00 to just get to chapter 128 out of 2020 pages is just ridiculous!!!!

This is not legit I do not believe. You buy 500 coins for 4.99 and it only cost 10 to unlock and go on. But when you get to the unlock point again you have no coins left out of the 500. Why??????

I don’t recommend. I have bought over 2000 coins so far and cannot even get close to finishing “Married by mistake”. It is too costly. Don’t start reading anything!

Your app is a total rip off I 1000 coins and now you’re expecting me to pay more for a story that is never ending. Extremely disappointed and disgusted with scam.

It will not allow me to scroll back to where I am on my book even though I have still unlocked chapters to read. I accidentally went to check how many chapters tapped on one and now will not take me back to my chapters
