System Update May 9, 2022

May 10, 2022

Hello dear readers,

After the update launched last week, a lot of feedback was sent. After reviewing your feedback, I decided to post another update.

The changes made with the update are as follows;

♦ Added functions where you can change the background color of the dark mode and the colors of the accent elements (buttons, links, tags, etc.). You can see this feature on your profile page.

♦ When you select TTS voice type and rate, your settings are saved. You don't need to set it again at every page transition.

♦ The subscription service has been activated. We created an account on the Buymecoffee service. The integration process will be done manually. In the form you used while subscribing, please make sure to write your username and e-mail address that you used on the website (Do not share your information in the "Say something nice..." section, fill in the email and name fields at the top). You can see the subscription link and details on your profile page.

Some users have reported that the Text-to-speech feature is not working. I should point out that this feature is provided by the browser and I do not contribute any coding on this feature. It will work if your browser includes SpeechSynsthesis and supports all its functions, otherwise it will not work. In addition, since this feature is designed to voice short texts, it can never voice over long texts on chaptar pages. At this point, what I do is divide the chapter content into dozens of small parts and pass it to the TTS feature in a loop. Depending on your device's performance, browser permissions (does the device have access to audio hardware?), it will start reading texts by queuing this process. Otherwise it won't work again...
There are thousands of different devices and browsers on the market. I will never get a chance to test each one individually. I've already tested it on many iphone (11,12,13) and android (8~12) devices and browsers as far as I can get. It seems like the TTS feature not working is pure luck... Please try to understand this issue...

Thank you for your support!

    i don't know if this is just me or what, but for some reason the chapters of the novels i'm reading don't load completly. I've already tried cheking if it was a specific novel or if other sites were the same but, no. I think it's something site related... If it's not happening because of the site and anyone has any idea of how i should deal with this, i would appreciate it.

    Hello, Firstly thank you so much for your hard work, and for always taking the time to answer comments. I was wondering if you would eventually have a suggestion section where we could suggest book. Because it would be nice if you could pick up the novel Sword Snow Stride by Chen Zhenghua. It seems that no translating team want to pick up the novel. But it truly a shame to have such a beautiful work not available for international fans. Thank you.

    Not sure how hard this would be to implement but I think it would be nice to see either the word count per chapter or average word count in the entire novel (average word count for the chapters averaged over there entire novel).

      Doesn't seem like a feature worth the effort. Maybe I'm wrong... Why do you need it?

      Unfortunately, we do not currently have a server resource strong enough to run the function you suggested. Thank you!

    The comment section on /white online/ is bugged, can't see comments older than 16 hours. Edit: it seems the older comments disappear when new one are written

    Greetings Mr admin, there seems to be a problem with the new system. When using the 'text to speech' on a long chapter(the click to 'read more' chapters) the female and male voices 'read' (?) a few sentences, then they go mute. Could you please fix that please Oh and text to speech doesn't seem to be working on the novel 'TO BE A POWER IN THE SHADOWS'
