Dreame - Read Best Romance 17+

Love this app. Has great books. It gets a bit pricey for my budget so I can only read for a specific amount of time at a time. But I also have a suggestion not sure if it’s a thing or not. But can the books be separate. Like if it’s completed or not. I get books ideas from Facebook and when I go to the app all excited to read, some are not completed. If the book is good and the wait time for an update is so long I would have to read the chapters over. I don’t mind but seriously it’s a pain. I have so many uncompleted books in my library waiting for them to be completed and it’s like wow still no update. At this point I’ll definitely have to reread the old chapters just to refresh my memory. Thank you for the great app. Still a bit pricy. There’s a book that has over 1000 chapters I’m sure I won’t complete reading it even though it’s a great story. Only because I’m on chapter 200 and change and already spent over $60 on just this book. I now check the amount of chapters if it’s over 200 and the free chapters don’t catch my attention I won’t pay for it. Just common sense. Also the chapters have been getting shorter in the amount of pages ( the shortest chapter had about 3 pages). I read a book that 2 chapters where of the author asking for suggestions so I basically paid for two chapters worth of suggestions towards the author. I will say that it was smart of the author but not for my pocket.

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.

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.
