Here's what some of our users are saying.

“this is incredible. im gonna to be 100% honest with you guys. if you're unsure about getting this extension and its plans, let me tell you: the translations are 100 accurate. i've been searching for a translation for a long time, and I've read at least without exaggeration 10 different translations but NONE OF them were as good as the version I got from opennovel. and they respond to all your questions with patience and very respectfully. THIS IS THE BEST AI TRANSLATOR FOR NOVEL READERS.”

“I just wanted to say thank you, so so much for creating this tool. I have been waiting for this since I saw it on Tiktok and when you tagged me saying it's out, I didn't even hesitate in purchasing a paid plan, with plans of upgrading to Bookworm soon. You have no idea how much I spent paying for coins on other MTL translation sites just so I can have a modicum of what will happen next to a story, only to get low quality translations. This tool you have is literally the answer to my prayers. Thank you, you have no idea how convenient this is for me.”

“I used to manually copy paste my novels into chatgpt - but honestly i ran into issues sometimes like the length being too long or the content being filtered. Not only are the translations better than chatgpt, but it takes out all the inconveniences of novel translation - amazing product imo and worth every dollar”

“The best web novel translation tool out there! I discovered it while searching for an AI translation tool on Google, and after trying the demo, I was impressed by its performance. The developers are also incredibly helpful and open to feedback.”
