    Names & terms stay consistent

    A glossary locks character names, pronouns and key terms in place, so they read the same way every chapter.

Answer to my prayers

I just wanted to say thank you, so so much for creating this tool. 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.

Super accurate and human-like translations

I was sooo tired of reading mtls of my fav novels and not understanding a thing which was when I came across this webnovel translator. In my experience, the translations have been super accurate and human like. The pronouns are often accurate and the names stay true to the original raws. Would definitely recommend this extension to anyone who wants to read their favorite untranslated novels with a high quality translation!

Better than ChatGPT

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

Worth every penny

OMG, this is so much better of an experience than just copying and pasting into Chat GPT. Not least among the reasons being that it isn't constantly asking me if I'd like it to hallucinate a continuation of the chapter I've been pasting in every few prompts lol.

The best AI translator for novel readers

This is incredible. 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.

Game changer for novel reading

This is such a cool app. I have just subscribed. I was also doing the whole copy/pasting into GPT stuff, I was just about to start that tedious process with yet another novel when I saw this recommended on reddit by someone. Honestly, such a blessing. Thank you for the effort!
