    That is a known issue fixed in the latest update (1.7.4).
    The html parser had to be updated since the notes addition on the reading list changed the structure a bit.

    Might as well post a small update here:

    Quidan (or to be more accurate their parent company) has filed a DCMA complaint on the Play Store and my app has been removed. It was not explicitly stated where the copyright infringement lies, but two things come to mind:
    • Usage of their novel cover images
    • Links to alternative translations of their novels
    I could probably blacklist all Quidan novels and re-submit the app to the store.
    But that does not protect me from future DCMA claims whenever a novel here is licensed by them but does not show it.

    For now I am thinking about distribution outside the Play Store and working on a self update mechanism.
    I have created a small website for that (Work In Progress): https://novelupdates.inverse.cc/

    This thread is for an app called Notifications for NovelUpdates. Not sure what Novel Loop is, but you won't find much help with that app in this thread.

    Umm... I been troubled lately by some unknown bug or something as I check the newest update of my novel list, sometimes those links redirecting me to some random links - like for example is that new chapter for "saving 80,000 gold for retirement" and I was redirected to Slime tensei instead... I first thought it was just broken links or something, but when I tried NU in browser the link is working just fine...

    Next is, if I tried to "mark as read" the said chapters in the app or browser, the novel would be go missing in my list in the app, it says that I need to "add to list" the novel again even it was "marked as read," ultimately, even I tried to "add to list" those novels again it naver worked...

    The list is just there in the browser but not in the app...
    It only occur in the new chapters updates...
    Also I don't know if this relevant but, I noticed this too that in "synchronization active" in the notification bar of my device, instead of "1 of 2" (when I refreshed to check if there's any updates but to no avail, it only shows this) now it goes to "1 of 5" (or so on but no updates shown)...

    Please look in to this...

    I have also been experiencing this for quite a while. I have to access the previous chapter and head to the next chapter from the browser, not by pressing next on the app. I've been redirected even to a gossip site that had nothing to do with novels at all.

    I'm not sure when it first started, but it was sometime this year. My reading list is randomly deleting novels without my consent. I don't know if this is a NU problem or if it's the Notifications for NovelUpdates app problem, since I mostly read from it. The people from NU tell me the problem is with the app.

    Some novels don't get updated and when I search for them, they're not on my reading list anymore. I don't know why this is happening. There's also the bugged latest chapters that redirect me to an entirely different novel when I click on them (doesn't happen with every novel) and the chapters that won't mark as read even after trying to a bunch of times (like My Son is the Villain, which is bugged at ch29 and doesn't mark ch30 as read no matter how many times I refresh the NU page on my browser).

    Would really appreciate some help in not missing any more updates of my favorite novels.

    Hopefully not. I depend a lot on this app to read my novels since it's a very good app to keep updated with all the novels.
