Coin unlocks let you read ahead

Novels and chapters on NovelBike will not remain permanently restricted to paid access. Coin unlocks provide early access: you can use coins to read ahead, or wait for chapters to become free. Release arrangements vary by story and will be announced on the relevant novel pages and on NovelBike.

Thank you to everyone who supports our updates by unlocking chapters early. We also welcome readers who choose to wait for free releases.
