Reader promise

Ads never become the obstacle.

The reading experience takes priority over advertising revenue.

Members

All paid members receive a completely ad-free experience across the homepage, episode library, reader pages, comments, feedback pages, account/member pages, and bonus-content pages.

Free readers

Free readers may see a small number of clearly labeled, non-intrusive ads outside the story flow. The current cap is 30 impressions in any rolling 30-day period, with a maximum of 3 per day and 4 per continuous session.

Never allowed

If an advertising provider cannot reliably enforce these restrictions, we will not use that provider.

Placement limits

Homepage: at most one primary sponsor block between Latest Release and discovery content, with an optional second placement only near the footer after all primary content.

Episode library: at most one ad per library session, only after readers have passed several real episode cards or between major sections.

Episode reader: zero ads inside the chapter. One optional ad may appear only after the END OF EPISODE area and navigation controls.
