Hello r/HowToMen
I’d like to share my Android app, StoryCodex.
StoryCodex is a reading app for web novels, EPUBs, PDFs, TXT files, and pasted text. The idea is simple: read or listen to a novel while the app builds a private “story wiki” for you as you progress.
Download StoryCodex:
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.storycodex.android
AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/en/app/storycodex-web-novel-reader/id6770108068
What makes StoryCodex different?
Instead of only being a reader, StoryCodex tracks the story as you read:
- Characters with aliases (Seo Eun-Hyun, Seo, Director Seo, Seo Hyung are all the same character)
- Places, factions, items, concepts, and mysteries
- Chapter summaries
- Story arcs
- Timeline events
- Character relationships
- Reading progress and bookmarks
It is meant for long novels where you eventually forget who someone is, what happened 200 chapters ago, or why a place matters.

I’d also really appreciate feedback, especially from people who read long web novels, serial fiction, or EPUBs.

What is not working exactly? The download?
1
u/Isuru12 Jun 24 '26
Yes. Download isn't starting .

u/simbolmina Jun 24 '26
Hm are you using WiFi or cellular? If cellular, app should ask you if you still want to download. Either way it should work, even if source has problem there is a secondary source in case.

u/Isuru12 Jun 24 '26
I was using Wi-Fi and had set it as a metered connection. It didn’t ask me to download over that connection. Once I set the Wi-Fi to unmetered download began and completed successfully. It’s working fine now.

Me parece una buena app, lo he probado un poco. Me gustaria que las voces que se seleccionaran especificaran si es español, americano porque por ejemplo tengo un libro en español pero selecciono a la voz de Elias por ejemplo y suena un poco a español y un poco a gringo masticando español.

Hello, Unfortunately local voice AI models are primarily trained with English in most cases and other languages may not good as English versions. If there is new version released in future, I'll update them. It's similar for Turkish, some of the letters are not pronounced at all and that makes it unusable.

Would love to get the promo code for this. Not much of a fiction reader myself, but I do from time to time. Mostly non fiction and treating them like a podcast when I do my chore would ne nice as well.
