Major revision: NovelNotifier is now a three-site webnovel app. Japanese sites join Novel Updates as first-class workspaces, each with its own drawer and settings — all sharing one in-app reader and one offline ePub library.

New sites

  • Syosetu (なろう) — discovery through Syosetu's official JSON API (rankings + advanced search parity with よもがたり検索), in-app WebView login, bookmark library sync, and the R18 sister sites (Nocturne / Moonlight / Moonlight Ladies) behind an 18+ gate with per-site toggles.
  • Kakuyomu (カクヨム) — discovery through the site's own open GraphQL endpoint (daily/weekly/monthly/all-time rankings × 12 genres × serial/short, paged word search), full ordered table of contents from one work-page fetch, no account needed. R18 works hidden behind an 18+ gate with an R18-only browse chip; device-local bookmarks (⚑ on a work) that travel in backups.

For all sites

  • One reader (browser + extracted views, anti-scrape font-substitution decoding) and one offline ePub library: volume/100-chapter split books, NU-metadata title pages, bulk download that survives screen-off, per-series translation-group filter on NU.
  • English/Japanese app-language toggle — display follows your choice; anything stored or sent to a site stays in the site's native terms.
  • Japanese README (README.ja.md) alongside the English one.

Existing NU features are unchanged: reading lists with unread badges, chapter notifications, cross-device read sync, backups, themes.
APK: NovelNotifier-v2.0.apk — install over any 1.x (same signing key, updates in place).
