I agree that the front page is super cluttered. It's not obvious when browsing if the thing I'm looking at is Premium (pay to read) work or not, and that's one thing that stops me from freely browsing honestly. If I see it's a Premium work, I skim, or click out entirely because the current free-ink tapas system for me (and others) is not working as intended.
Summary
I can't even get 30 free ink a day on my PC. Ads won't load at all in months. And on my cellphone, I can do the game trials, but the ads won't load and just give me a black screen after getting 3 days of ads- it just broke and decided not to work /reinstallation didn't help. So I'm sure I'm not the only one who relies on trying to scrounge up free ink to see something.
#1 issue is the amount of scrolling. Already there's two popular sections. It lists popular comics, 5 of them, and novels, and then right below are 2 clickable images to Popular. Didn't.. I just... see that? Why is it repeated? Wasted space. Right after is a giant rotating ad which I don't mind too much, but after is a section that isn't obvious it's all Premium stuff (Laugh out Loud / K Drama genres get a special spotlight here), followed by 3 more comics of which I'm 90% sure are all Premium, but are seperated from the actual Premiums... Finally you get to noteworthy (which should be renamed to Staff Pick or something), and then Trending. How is Trending different from Popular?! To an outsider, the terms mean the exact same. Then finally there's the bottom section of Discover more.
If it were me, I'd reorganize and simplify a lot of the front page. It's starting to look like the overcrowded page no one goes to (aka Gaiaonline's front page lolz). And why is Fresh just 1 picture, not even of an item in Fresh, instead of a scrollable box of 5+ comics like Popular and Trending are? If you're telling me the coding is too hard, then explain why those two other categories can have it.
