For those having trouble accessing the light novels. Uninstall then reinstall the app before you do anything go into your settings, updates and notifications and then deactivate load app keystore. Doing that should allow you to access and read all the novels available.

For those who have problem, just disabled load app keystore at update and notification in setting :) It works for me

BakaReader is the best light novel app to date. I enjoy using the app. The downside is the error am I getting for some of the novels I want to read. It's showing on the official website but it's not accessible through the app. Hope you guys can fix this bug!
★★☆☆☆
Don't download this app. I just downloaded it and searched for a light novel. And it was just blank. I tried searching for the one they used in the feature pic, nothing. Worst app Everard 🤦🏼♀️
★★☆☆☆
It was a great app. The problem is it is linked to the site so you gotta be careful. Almost all the novels translated have been dropped for some reasons, a few others would be stalled, so there are no updates for those novels. I don't recommend anyone to download this app. It has been almost 6–7 months since the last update for the app. It used to be a great site to read light novels from, but now there is nothing to see. Almost all the good LN's have been dropped or abandoned.
★★☆☆☆
I just installed it but can't open a single ch of any novels, this is bad. It has to be updated.
