    One is Plumlizi because There is no next button, I'd have to go the NU page and drag-drop it. Imagine how annoying it would be if it was on mobile. Well I only read one novel so I don't know about the other novels.

    In the past, it was my school website. I didn't want to see my grades but I had to.

    Only go there for HFY, but still annoying...
    Especially their politics and charged atmosphere there.

    Any translation page hosted in Tumblr. There's no next button unless the translators put it in themselves.

    Reading novels on Google Docs that haven't been published in website format...it's not great. And it's even worse on mobile.

    What's funny is that it's not that hard to publish in website format, either, but some people just don't do it. Maybe they don't know about it?

    I'll totally agree with plumlizi since i use it on my phone but the staff members are really nice so i just suck it up and use nu links to navigate and do the open link in new tab >.<

    If the staff members are nice, can't you ask them to manually add previous/TOC/Next buttons at the end of each chapter? It is a bit of a bother to add them manually, but it's not a huge endeavor either.

    nah, i know it is a lot of pain doing it. Doing it manually is easy but it takes too much of time that is why I didn't insist on it. Plus as far as I know, most of them are like working adults so it makes sense that they wont have time to do it. I am just happy they are giving out good translation for the type of novels i like ^-^

    It doesn't actually take that much time. You just create a page template that includes a back/table of contents/forward links, copy/paste it whenever you start a new page. If it's on a site that automatically assigns a random URL or goes by date, there's the added step of copy/paste the relevant URLs, but that would take about a minute at most per chapter, not a significant time investment past the initial template creation.

    It's a bit intimidating for someone who doesn't know anything about web design at all but it only took me a few minutes to figure out how to do it when I made a short series of blog posts here, and then all I had to do was copy/paste two or three times per page once the template was formed. It's that quick and easy to do, but not doing it makes it much harder to read so people like me give up on sites that can't do that much.

    Different sites have different coding, so the same method won't work everywhere. NUF uses bbcode, so urls are something like {url="sitename.com/section/lastpageID"]Back[/url] but with all regular brackets. So you just create a page template somewhere (maybe on a Word document?) and all you need to do is change "lastpageID" to whatever the last chapter's page is, "nextpageID" to whatever the next chapter's page is, whatever you need. This is not the absolute best or easiest method, but it's simple and all you need to do is figure out how it works one time for the site, then copy/paste from then on. If google isn't helpful, you could make a thread in the appropriate forum asking for help on your website and someone with the right knowledge can help you.

    Hi Diriye, we're terribly sorry for the inconvenience. In this past year, we have started implementing previous and next chapter buttons. However, for chapters prior to this year, it was totally up to the translators' (project managers) jurisdiction to add the buttons, as it is a bit more work for them to do. Please let me know which novel it is, and I will personally go back and add the buttons when I have time. Though I would rather have the translators and myself focus our time and energy to translate and pump out more chapters for y'all!

    We appreciate your understanding and hope you continue to enjoy our novels!

    Oh, honestly it was a minor complaint and As long as you have the NU page it will be okay, but the translated chapter matter more so it’s okay if there isn’t a next button
