FAQ

What is LNORI?

LNORI is a digital sanctuary and static-first light novel database. We focus on providing clean, fast, and structured metadata for the medium's enthusiasts.

Is there an app?

Yes. LNORI is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that can be installed on any device directly from your browser, offering an app-like experience without the need for an app store.

How often is it updated?

Our seasonal library is updated as new titles are announced. Core series metadata is continuously refined based on official database releases.

Is this site free to use?

Absolutely. LNORI is a free community project, browsing and accessing information on this site is completely free, with no subscriptions or intrusive ads.

Where do the light novel files come from?

The light novel files are sourced from Nyaa (https://nyaa.si/view/2056535). We do not host or own the novels. All rights belong to their respective authors, illustrators, and publishers.

Where can I download all the novels?

All available novels can be downloaded from the following Mega folder: https://mega.nz/folder/pX9CyTDJ#VKjElwq0c0P1QsxeNOGoqQ. This folder contains the full collection in one place for convenience.

Can content be removed?

Yes. If you are a rights holder and believe something should be removed, please contact us with relevant details. We'll review requests and take appropriate action in line with our terms and policies.

What is the Account Dashboard?

The Account Dashboard is your personal space on LNORI. You can access it from the navigation menu. It lets you manage your profile, view your reading history, keep track of bookmarked books, follow your favorite series, and adjust your settings, all in one place.

Do I need an account to use LNORI?

Nope! You can browse the entire library, read series information, and explore everything without an account. However, if you want to save bookmarks, follow series, or track your reading history across devices, you'll need to create a free account.

What is Guest Mode?

Guest Mode lets you use the dashboard features, bookmarks, follows, and reading history, without creating an account. Your data is stored locally on your device only. When you later create an account, your local data automatically syncs. It's a great way to try things out before committing.

What data do you collect?

When you create an account, we collect your email address (for login and verification), an optional display name, and your password (which is securely hashed, we never see or store the plain text). We also store your bookmarks, followed series, and reading history on our servers when you're signed in. We don't collect phone numbers, payment info, or social media accounts.

Can I sync my data across devices?

Yes! If you're signed in, your bookmarks, follows, and history sync automatically across all devices where you're logged in. When you sign in on a new device, your data is pulled from our servers and stored locally for fast access.

Can I export or import my data?

You can export your bookmarks, follows, and history as a JSON file from Settings. You can also import a previously exported file, which merges with your existing data without overwriting anything.

How do I reset my password?

On the sign-in page, click 'Forgot password?'. Enter your email address, and we'll send you a 6-digit verification code. Enter the code, set a new password (minimum 6 characters), and you're back in.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings in your dashboard and scroll to the 'Danger Zone'. Click 'Delete Account', confirm your choice, and enter the 6-digit code we send to your email. This permanently deletes your email, name, bookmarks, follows, history, and all server data with no way to recover it.

Is my data safe?

We take security seriously. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. We use secure session cookies for authentication. Your reading data is encrypted in transit. We don't sell, share, or monetize your personal data.

Do you use cookies or tracking?

We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in. We also use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site, which helps us improve it. If you'd prefer not to be tracked, any standard ad blocker like uBlock Origin or AdBlock Plus will block it, no extra setup needed.

What about my avatar?

LNORI generates a unique geometric avatar for you based on your display name or email address using [DiceBear](https://www.dicebear.com/) shapes. It's consistent, the same name always produces the same avatar. You don't need to upload anything.

I found a bug. How do I report it?

We'd love to hear about it! You can report bugs by emailing us at contact@lnori.com, or by visiting our Contact page at /contact. Please include as much detail as possible, what device and browser you're using, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened.
