Dreame - Read Best Romance 17+

This is one of my absolute go to for reading. There are some amazing story writers on here. One thing I wish we could do is leave feedback after we finish a story. I have read over 15 stories/ books and several of them have had error after error. There was one I didn’t even finish the spelling and grammar was so bad, and another was so out of order it didn’t make any sense. I understand that these are not edited and published, but as a reader if we had a way to help make them better that would be awesome. I also wish there was a better way to earn or get the coins. Several of the books I have read I bought coins because they were too good to take a break from. I wouldn’t mind paying a small fee for a membership either on unlimited book and no waiting. But the app is super easy to use and navigate through. I also like the aspect that once you find a genre you like it suggests similar books. I’m always at a loss on what to read next after I finish a book but not while using the app. Overall I would recommend but strongly encourage looking into some of the things mentioned above.

This is my second attempt at using this app. I get drawn in through FB ads of stories they give a taste of and I want to finish. However, it is so unnecessarily overly complicated with these coins. There is no clear explanation of how anything works. Also, the majority of the books are very poorly written. Sometimes the storyline is good enough I can overlook the grammar errors, spelling mistakes, and continuity errors. But then I have to try to figure out how to use their ridiculous coin system which I discovered last time costs the same as buying an actual edited and published book.
The reason I’m here giving this app another shot is because if you can get past the bad writing these stories can be addictively creative and you cannot find them elsewhere. This time around I spent $3 to buy 300 coins to try it out before spending more and I have no idea what is going on. I cannot purchase anymore chapters after choosing only one and my wallet says I have 1 coin, but another area says I have 311 coins. A bunch of chapters opened up in the book I was reading so maybe that’s where my coins went? But I thought we are supposed to have the option to choose where we spend the coins. That’s how it was last time. I’m at a total loss. Since this app seems even worse than the last time I tried it, I certainly won’t be investing anymore into it.

So far the stories are definitely enticing to read but they can be tough at times to get through when you are having to re-read each line to make sense of all the grammatical errors and typos. It was bad enough in one book I read they kept mixing up the characters’ names. A baby can’t be named “Amanda” in one chapter and be named “Charlotte” in another. If I had to say, it felt like I was reading the very first draft of a story someone just finished or it was written in one night, without the author even re-reading their own work. I mean putting the thing through a computerized grammar and spell check would have helped somewhat. The coins concept, I get it, the app developer and author need to make a living, but I’d rather spend my money on well published and edited work then this stuff if I’m going to be spending the same amount, if not more, than what I would have spent on something similar at the book store. It’s not like these are long novels that would take very long to edit. I’m not a writer by any means, but I’d be embarrassed to have my writing viewed in such a rough draft state. “Intrigued’ and “I married the CEO” I think is what I read so far. Both need work. From other comments I’ve read I’m sure the next one I read will be just as rough, but I guess I will have to grit my teeth and bare it.
