Frequently asked questions
Cancel Novelmates: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Novelmates subscription and stop unwanted charges
What Novelmates is and why cancellation matters
Novelmates is a digital reading application that delivers web novels, short stories, and serialized fiction through a subscription-based model. You access premium content by downloading the mobile app, which combines free chapters with paid unlocks and recurring subscription tiers that grant access to exclusive titles and in-app currency (coins and credits). The service is published by HK IReader Technology Limited and distributed across major app stores including Google Play and Apple App Store.
Many readers initially value the platform, but subscription services like Novelmates often frustrate consumers when recurring charges continue silently or cancellation appears deliberately obscured. At Yafee, we help thousands of consumers understand their legal rights and regain control of their billing. If unexpected charges have appeared on your statement, your free trial converted without clear notice, or you simply no longer use the service, this guide will walk you through every procedural step to stop charges immediately and recover what you are owed.
When you might decide to cancel Novelmates
You recognize yourself in one or more of these scenarios. Recurring charges appear on your credit card statement without a clear reminder before renewal. You enrolled in a weekly or yearly VIP plan but no longer read frequently enough to justify the cost. You signed up during a promotional free trial, only to discover an automatic charge appeared after the trial ended. Some users report duplicate charges, unauthorized transactions, or simply find that their reading habits no longer align with the subscription price. Whatever your reason, stopping the charges quickly and pursuing refunds is your legal right under U.S. consumer protection law.
Novelmates subscription pricing snapshot
Novelmates offers recurring subscription plans and one-time in-app purchases at varying price points across regions and promotions. Understanding the standard pricing structure helps you confirm what charges appear on your statement and whether you authorized them.
| Plan type | Typical price (USD) | Billing cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly VIP | $14.99 | Renews every 7 days |
| Monthly VIP | $49.99 | Renews every 30 days |
| Yearly VIP | $129.99 | Renews every 12 months |
| Coin packs (variable) | $1.99 to $99.99 | One-time purchase |
Your legal position and consumer protection rights
U.S. federal law provides you with explicit protections for canceling recurring subscriptions and disputing unauthorized charges.
Telemarketing sales rule and the restore online shoppers confidence act (ROSCA)
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), which mandates that companies offering negative option billing (recurring charges) must obtain your clear, affirmative consent before charging you. Furthermore, you have the explicit right to cancel any subscription or recurring billing arrangement at any time, using a cancellation mechanism that is just as easy to use as the enrollment process. Companies that hide or delay cancellation violate ROSCA and face federal penalties. Consequently, if Novelmates makes cancellation difficult, non-transparent, or impossible through the app, the company is in violation of federal law.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Novelmates subscription immediately without penalty. If the company continues to charge you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, you may dispute the charge with your payment provider (your bank, credit card issuer, or digital payment platform). You can also file a complaint directly with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov. If you believe you were charged without authorization or after a cancellation request, you may pursue a refund by disputing the transaction with your card issuer and requesting a chargeback, which is your legal entitlement under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA).
Methods to cancel Novelmates across platforms
You have multiple cancellation pathways depending on how you enrolled and which payment method you used; this section details each option in order of effectiveness.
Cancel directly through the Novelmates app
The primary cancellation method is within the Novelmates mobile application itself. This is the fastest way to stop recurring charges if you still have app access and your account credentials.
- Open the Novelmates app on your mobile device (iOS or Android).
- If you have deleted the app, reinstall it from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Log in with your account email and password.
- Navigate to the "Mine" tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap "Help & Feedback" or "1v1 Service" (the exact label varies by app version and update).
- Scroll down to locate the "Cancel" or "Cancel subscription" button.
- If you do not see a cancellation option, try tapping "Account Settings" or "Billing Information."
- Tap the cancellation option and confirm your request by selecting "Yes" or "Confirm cancellation."
- The app may display a retention offer (a discount or extension); declining this confirms your intent to cancel.
- Screenshot or photograph the confirmation message that appears after you complete cancellation.
- This confirmation serves as proof if you later dispute a charge or escalate to the FTC.
Cancel via your app store (Apple app store or google play)
If you enrolled or renewed your subscription through Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store, you can cancel directly through your app store account without using the Novelmates app itself. This method is effective even if you have deleted the app or cannot access it.
- On iPhone or iPad: Open the Apple App Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions."
- Find Novelmates in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap it and select "Cancel subscription."
- Confirm cancellation in the final dialog.
- On Android: Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions."
- Find Novelmates and tap "Cancel subscription."
- Confirm your cancellation request.
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation for your records.
Cancel through PayPal or your digital payment provider
If you enrolled using PayPal, Google Pay, or another digital payment method, you can revoke Novelmates' automatic payment permission through your payment provider's settings.
- Log into your PayPal account (or equivalent payment platform).
- Navigate to "Settings" or "Account," then "Automatic payments" or "Recurring payments."
- Locate Novelmates or "HK IReader Technology Limited" in your active subscriptions.
- Select the subscription and choose "Cancel" or "Revoke access."
- Confirm the cancellation in the prompt that appears.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page.
Revoke payment method access and remove billing information
As a secondary safeguard, you can remove your credit card or payment method from your Novelmates account within the app to prevent any further charges.
- Open the Novelmates app and navigate to "Mine" or "Account."
- Select "Payment methods" or "Billing information."
- Remove or delete your credit card, PayPal account link, or other stored payment method.
- Confirm the removal.
What happens immediately after you cancel
Cancellation takes effect at the precise moment you confirm it through the app or payment platform; however, understanding the billing cycle protects you from surprise charges.
Timing and billing cycle end
Your subscription cancellation ends at the conclusion of your current billing period. For example, if you are enrolled in a weekly VIP plan and cancel on Tuesday, you retain access until the week ends (typically seven days from your original enrollment date). If you are on a yearly plan, cancellation does not take effect until the annual renewal date unless your payment provider honors an immediate refund. Consequently, you may see one final charge at the end of your current cycle; this is expected and does not indicate a cancellation failure. After that final charge, no further recurring bills should appear.
Confirm cancellation status in the app
Return to the "Mine" tab within Novelmates one week after cancellation to verify that your subscription status has changed to "Cancelled" or "Inactive." If the app still displays an active subscription, contact customer support immediately using the in-app "Help & Feedback" option or escalate to your payment provider.
Pursuing a refund for unauthorized or duplicate charges
If you were charged without authorization, experienced duplicate billing, or were charged after submitting a cancellation request, you have the right to request a refund under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA).
Contact Novelmates customer support for a voluntary refund
Begin by requesting a refund directly from Novelmates before escalating to your bank or payment provider. This is often the fastest path to resolution.
- Open the Novelmates app and tap "Help & Feedback" or "1v1 Service."
- Select "Contact Us" or "Customer Support."
- Describe the unauthorized or duplicate charge, including the transaction date and amount.
- Clearly state that you canceled your subscription and request a refund for charges that occurred after your cancellation date.
- Include a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation from the app or payment provider.
- Send the message and note the ticket or reference number provided.
- Allow 7 to 14 business days for a response.
Dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer
If Novelmates does not refund the unauthorized charge within 14 days, or if customer support denies your refund request, file a dispute directly with your bank, credit card company, or payment platform (PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay). This triggers a formal chargeback investigation in your favor.
- Contact your bank or card issuer by phone, online account portal, or in person at a branch.
- Report the unauthorized or duplicate charge and state that you canceled your subscription prior to the charge.
- Provide the charge amount, transaction date, and the date you submitted your cancellation request.
- Submit copies of your cancellation confirmation and any communication from Novelmates customer support.
- Your bank will initiate a chargeback investigation and typically issue a provisional refund within 10 business days while the dispute is resolved.
File a complaint with the federal trade commission
If you have canceled your subscription, submitted refund requests, and the company continues to charge you or refuses to honor cancellation, file a federal complaint with the FTC.
- Visit reportfraud.ftc.gov in your web browser.
- Select "Online shopping" or "Subscriptions and negative option" as the complaint category.
- Provide your name, contact information, and a detailed account of the unauthorized charges.
- Attach screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, billing statements showing charges after cancellation, and any correspondence with Novelmates customer support.
- Submit the complaint; the FTC will investigate and may take enforcement action against Novelmates if it has violated ROSCA or the FCBA.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
You are not responsible for the company's design flaws, but understanding these pitfalls prevents delays and protects your refund eligibility.
Deleting the app without canceling the subscription
Removing the Novelmates app from your device does not cancel your subscription. Recurring charges will continue because your subscription exists on Novelmates' servers, not on your phone. To stop charges, you must explicitly cancel through the app, the app store, or your payment provider. If you have already deleted the app, reinstall it, log in, and follow the in-app cancellation steps above, or cancel directly through your app store account.
Assuming a free trial automatically cancels
If you enrolled in a free trial promotional offer, the subscription does not automatically cancel when the trial ends. Novelmates converts trial users into paid subscribers by default. Consequently, you must submit a cancellation request before the trial ends to avoid the first charge. Check your email for the trial end date and calendar a reminder to cancel one day before that date.
Failing to save cancellation confirmation
If you do not screenshot or photograph the cancellation confirmation message, you lack proof that you submitted the request. If Novelmates later disputes your refund claim or continues to charge you, the confirmation is your evidence. After you cancel, always capture and store the confirmation in a safe place (email it to yourself, save it to cloud storage, or keep a photo file).
Not checking your subscription status after cancellation
Many users cancel and assume the process is complete without verifying that the subscription status has updated in the app or app store. Log back into Novelmates one week after cancellation to confirm that your account displays "Cancelled," "Inactive," or "No active subscription." If it still shows an active plan, your cancellation failed and you must repeat the process or escalate to your payment provider.
Comparison: keeping versus canceling your subscription
This table helps you weigh the cost and value of maintaining your Novelmates subscription against the financial benefit of cancellation.
| Factor | Keep subscription | Cancel subscription |
|---|---|---|
| Ongoing cost (weekly VIP) | $14.99 per week ($779.48 per year) | $0 |
| Free content access | Available | Still available |
| Premium content | Full access | Limited (must purchase coins or wait for free releases) |
| Monthly time commitment | High (justifies $49.99 per month) | Flexibility; no obligation |
| Risk of forgotten renewal | High (charges continue automatically) | None; no recurring charges |
| Option to re-enroll later | N/A | Yes; you can resubscribe anytime |
