I am in need of recommendations for LN reader apps. I tried out QuickNovel and Shosetsu. They both lack some features which I need. Preferrably ones with a way for me to quickly download or just view online through the app itself.

This isn't exactly what you asked, but you can use a program called Calibre to remove any DRM on ebooks you have. That way you can put them on any reader you like. You can also edit their metadata, which can be handy, especially if you're downloading translated web novels that don't have any metadata like series name, volume #, cover art, etc...

I can also recommend that.

For the legal stuff, Calibre with the DRM removal plugin has been great. Because I hate DRM, I mostly bought physical copies, which obviously need space, but Calibre has solved that issue. I can buy digital copies with Kobo so I still support the author, but is cheaper than physical and don't need physical space, and I can remove the DRM and convert to a different file type so I can use the reader app I want. This has been especially great for manga, as Kobo's app sucks for that.

Sure, thanks I guess. Though I don't really download ebooks from sites with DRM.

It's also a great program just for organizing your library
