A Letter to the Genesis Family
*Two years ago, this was just a dream held together by hope and a small group of people who believed that incredible Asian webnovels deserved to be heard by the world.
We won't pretend the road was easy. There were moments we were down; truly down. And some people moved on. We understood. But you didn't. You stayed. You read, you shared, you showed up. And because of you, we never stopped believing in what we were building together.
Today, we get to share something we've been working toward for a long time - and we want you to be the first to hear it.*
Genesis is growing in this new chapter. And you're still the reason why.
So What’s New
We are proud to announce official partnerships with Qimao and Zhongheng Fiction. Two of China's most celebrated publishers, bringing 27 officially licensed IPs to our platform. These aren't just novels. These are stories that have moved millions of readers across the world, and now they're coming to Genesis, legally, beautifully translated, and built for our community.
We have expanded into China and we will soon bring a Korean webnovel catalog as well. Catalog far greater than our old novels.
Introducing Nexus Pass
To make this level of content possible, and sustainable, we're introducing Nexus Pass, our new site-wide reading subscription at just $4.99/month. (For now it is just for the Chinese webnovels. Memorize will still be proceeding with freemium content)
Here's what that means for every reader:
- Chapters 1–20 are always free. No pass needed. You might just need an account
- Registered accounts unlock Chapters 3–20 across the catalogue, completely free. Just sign up.
- Nexus Pass ($4.99/mo) unlocks the vast majority of our entire catalogue, across all series, for less than a cup of coffee a month.
- Helixes still work exactly as before. Nothing you've earned goes away.
- And for our free readers who have been with us from the start: the Quest System is coming back soon. Complete quests, earn Atoms, and keep reading. We haven't forgotten you, and we never will. (A note: the final 50–100 chapters of a series remain premium. This is what allows us to honour our publisher agreements and keep bringing you content of this quality.)
Why We're Asking for Your Support
We've always been a platform that opened its doors to everyone, and that will never change. But to grow, to bring you the novels that will genuinely blow your mind, the ones that make you stay up until 3am and forget to eat, we need to build something that lasts.
If you can support us, it means everything. If you can't right now, stay with us. The Quest System has your back, and your presence in this community is support enough.
We started this because we love Asian stories. We kept going because of you. And whatever comes next, we're building it together.
Lastly, we will soon be bringing way more Korean webnovels. So hang tight.
With so much gratitude, The Genesis Team 🕊️
