Advice from me: It is better if you come for an AD which novel you are a huge fan of. Don’t be like me. I paid for the 1 year vip discount on 520 in 2025, which is quite a good deal at first. But if you’ve been in the fandom, you’d know that this industry is very vulnerable to censorship cleansing. First around 2021, now Sep 2025 (bastards). The entirety of AD on their app disappeared in just one night and, when they were back a few months later, they were edited beyond recognition. Actually, the cut parts can easily be found through yt or xhs search. The only problem for us intl readers is that the subtitles are not matched to the cut audio, so it is very difficult to understand. So every time you encounter this problem where the audio and subtitles don’t match, they have been censored. You can still open the official version on mute only for subtitles, then look up the full uncensored version, and then play both at the same time. Which is a huge hassle, you can’t do this on one phone, and it makes you question what’s the use of buying vip in the first place if this is the experience 😢 Actually if you mind the cuts and censors, just buy from Bookwalker TW or other non mainland apps, since they can be translated the same way as Maoer and Manbo. Lastly, don’t be discouraged from this long post. Let’s hope the situation gets better so we can get more contents by supporting the team 🤗
