Version 1.0.24: • No more ads in the way while you read: ads inside chapter text, full-screen ads after a chapter and ads on app launch are all gone. The only ads left are the videos for free VIP, and they only play when you choose to watch. • Watching a video for free VIP now runs on a new ad platform. On iPhone, the first time you watch, the app asks for permission to track; choosing "Ask App Not to Track" still lets you watch and get VIP as usual. • Buying the same Gem pack twice in a row no longer charges the second time without adding the Gems: every purchase is now confirmed and credited. • When you are offline, the app now says "Can't connect. Please check your internet connection and try again." instead of a technical error message.

Version 1.0.23: • Buy VIP, get Gems: each time you buy or renew a VIP plan of 1 month or longer, bonus Gems go straight to your balance and you get a notification. 1 month gives 1,000 Gems, 3 months 4,000, 6 months 9,000 and 1 year 15,000. The amount is shown on every plan card on the VIP screen. Bought a 1-month or longer plan in the 30 days before launch? You get the Gems too. • Male / Female filter: pick "All", "Male" or "Female" on the genre tab or under "Story preference" in the account menu. The home screen, its rows, story counts and genre lists then show the stories that fit, and the app turns blue (Male) or pink (Female) so you can tell at a glance. Stories that fit both still show; search, your library and reading history are never filtered. Tap "Clear filter" to see everything again. • Tidier VIP and Shop screens: the gifts on a VIP plan card now show as green tags for bonus VIP days, VIP pause keys and bonus Gems, and the first-purchase offer reads simply "+180 gem". The first-purchase notice and the VIP pause key card now scroll with the list instead of covering the plans.

Version 1.0.22: • Pause VIP: when you're busy or away, use 1 key to stop your remaining VIP time from running, for up to 14 days before it resumes on its own (with a reminder about a day before). Want it back sooner? Tap "Resume VIP now" and none of your VIP time is lost. Open it from the "Pause VIP" card on the VIP screen or the VIP line in your profile. • Pause keys come with VIP plans (1 month: 1 key, 3 months: 2, 6 months: 3, 1 year: 6), can be traded for gems, or arrive as event gifts. Each key lasts 180 days. If you bought a VIP plan of 1 month or longer in the past 180 days, your keys are already waiting. • A new avatar shop with Free, VIP and Frames tabs. VIP avatars are grouped by story, filter by genre and gender, and show their rarity. Avatar pictures are downloaded once and kept on your device. • Tap an avatar in comments or chat to open a profile card: the avatar with its frame, cultivation realm, VIP badge, join date, active days, comments, chapters read and achievements. • Heavenly Dao announcements in chat now have their own avatar; tap it to receive a decree. • Not logged in: the banner button now reads "Log in now", and "Please log in to continue" in the account menu opens the login screen.

• VIP time ran out mid-story: a locked chapter now says "Your VIP time has run out" and lets you watch a video to keep reading free for 20 more minutes, right there. The "Watch video +20 min" button shows how long each video adds, with the videos left for today under it. • The small banner on the home screen now opens its large banner, with a button to go on. • Story covers and banners are kept on your device after the first load, so they show at once when you open the app and use less mobile data. • The read-aloud bar is now on by default in the reader. To turn it off, open the reading settings → "Text-to-Speech". • Free VIP videos come from more ad sources, so a video is ready more often. • Fixed the daily number of free VIP videos not updating when it was raised. • Fixed a chapter "Report" being sent twice when Send was tapped twice in a row.
