- (2025-08-18) asa mitaka: best translation tool ever!!!<3 i love it using this feature everytime i read novels and the content you get will be easy to understand, so no more headache to understood such a plot:D
- (2025-08-18) Alecia Clematis: This extension is a genuine godsend, one of the most simple and easy to use novel translators I've tried so far. I've been using it mostly to translate a lot of non-english fanfictions on the net. Sure some of the translations are a bit iffy (A korean fanfic about a japanese setting has the translation mostly use Korean suffixes (nim, hyung, unnie) instead of the Japanese equivalent. Not really that much of an issue but still noticeable nonetheless, thanks for making this!
- (2025-08-17) Kibtia: Honestly it's good but in free plan you only get to translate 10 chapters a month. Well, we can't expect to translate chapters all we want anyways. But seriously I'd be really glad if they stretch that chapter limit since i only use free plan.
- (2025-08-17) Winter: One of the better translation extensions I've used so far. Not having to copy the raws into my notes app first before actually translating them is definitely a plus. Shame that I can only translate each page one by one instead of many at once, but thats mostly because the website I use to read korean fanfiction (Novelpia) is protected so I can't just link the raws. Still a pretty good extension overal, thanks!
- (2025-08-15) Manoosh Talat: the translation is really good!!!
- (2025-08-13) yuuta okkotsu: it's not long since i discovered and use this feature by opennovel but im glad it was such a helpful for me to read the novel! and the translation result is perfect—easy to understand, make me cooped up all day along just to read a novel:D
- (2025-08-13) Juliani Zein: Good and easy to use! I have hard times reading raw novels using google translate and it made my reading easier than ever!
- (2025-08-11) Ajitani Hifumi: Previously, I had to make do with using the built in chrome translator to read raws at Novelpia. They're not the most legible and the formatting is hard on the eyes, but it was decent. Then I saw a reddit post mentioning this extension and decided to try it out. And my goodness is it worth it. The translations was leagues above chrome's MTL, and the output fornat is easy to read! In addition, it accurately uses context clues to decide the most appropriate equivalent words in English. So glad I decided to give it a try!
- (2025-08-11) Hikari Fuyuko: It's nice not having to copy every few paragraphs into another site to get eligible translation. The ease of use of this extension isd definitely a plus. The only negative so far is that for Korean novels the ai seems to be having trouble with distinguishing he and she, as well as rotating between using Japanese and Korean Suffixes. Thanks for developing this, sure unlocked a lot of fiction I previously had no access to due to the language barrier!
- (2025-08-10) Nawal Athhariansyah: One of the best Novel translator i've used so far, I usually wait until someone else translated stories to then be uploaded into wattpad or AO3, but with this i could read them from the source! It unlocked so many stories that would otherwise be left unread, so thanks for that!
- (2025-08-09) Flonne Lightberry: It's very easy to use. And the instant result is amazing. But, for some complicated sentences in Japanese, you have to check and re-check because the translation sometimes misrepresent the meaning, especially the subject (he/she) sometimes is totally wrong. Also, because Japanese novel usually does not include subject, you need to have a sufficient knowledge to check it.
- (2025-08-05) Kyhz: The best machine translation tool for novels by far, It's easy to use and looks nice.

- (2025-06-18) Thyml: This is the perfect app for people who consume webnovels like water, without wanting to sacrifice their understanding of the writing. In my experience, the translations tend to use more natural language and sentence structures, which makes the writing flow better. It also does well in getting names, pronouns and onomatopoeias accurate, something that I find lacking in google translate webpage translations. Overall, I definitely recommend you give it a try!
- (2025-05-31) Hasitha Jagoda: Best translation quality among the apps I've tried. Better readability than chatgpt and comparable if not superior to deepseek translations, all without the drawbacks of forgetful glossaries and server limitations!
- (2025-05-30) ZEHRA: good application very useful

- (2025-05-28) Vaishnavi Cadaba: 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.

- (2025-05-20) Xx Yy: super
- (2025-05-19) alison maung: This is by far one of the best and useful chrome extension I had used so far! I have been reading Chinese fictions since 2019 and have been using JJWXC and reading baihe fictions for a long time. As I am not proficient in Chinese and could only read some sentences , I have been using MTL(auto translation provided by Google Translate). But I just recently out about this fiction by accidentally searching about a novel via search engine. This helped the translation to be more natural while also giving a more smoother version of the novel. Rn I can't get enough of this ajajajaj. Moreover, the speed is also relatively fast too!
