Why read on crit.pub

Free to read
Most chapters cost nothing. Authors can open new ones early for Keys, and every one shows the date it becomes free.
Labelled honestly
Every story says whether it was written by a person or with AI help, so you know what you are reading.
Your place, everywhere
Sign in and your next chapter is waiting on any device, with a note when a new one lands.
Made for households
Each profile keeps its own place in every story and its own content settings.

Step 1
Find a serial
Search covers serials only: stories, their authors and tags.
Step 2
Read for free
Open chapter one. Most chapters never cost anything; an early chapter shows the date it becomes free.
Step 3
Follow it
Followed stories wait in your Save Points with your place kept, and the bell tells you when a chapter lands.
Step 4
Make the page yours
On any chapter, choose the text size, font, spacing and page colour. Each profile keeps its own.
Step 5
Ask Rami
On stories that offer it, look up a person or place without seeing anything past where you are.

Publish chapter by chapter, and open new chapters early for Keys, from the Studio.
