✓Chapters 1–15 - Free (Login Required)
🔒Chapter 16+ - Unlock by waiting 2 days, or using coins
Do I need an account to read?
▾
Yes! An account is required to read any chapter on the platform. Having a free account lets you save your reading progress, bookmark your favorite stories, and receive notifications when new chapters are unlocked.
Can I read offline or download chapters?
▾
Not right now. Reading requires an active internet connection for both Free and Coin readers, so we can accurately track your progress and unlocks. Offline downloads are on our roadmap - we'll announce it here when it's available.
Will my reading progress sync across devices?
▾
Yes! When logged in, your reading progress, bookmarks, and history automatically sync across all your devices - mobile, tablet, and desktop. Sign in with the same account and pick up exactly where you left off.
Can I change the font size or reading theme?
▾
Yes. The reading view allows you to adjust the font size with a range of 10, 12, 14, or 16. You can also switch between Dark and Light modes to suit your preference. Other formatting options like font family and spacing are currently fixed.
Are there novels in Indian languages other than English?
▾
We encourage writers to publish in a variety of languages. While our current library primarily consists of English and Hindi, we will add more regional languages as writers contribute them. You can check for available languages using the filter on the Browse page.
Listening to Audiobooks
How many audiobook episodes are free?
▾
The first 15 episodes of every audiobook are free. However, login is required to listen to any episode so that we can accurately track your progress across the series.
Can I change the playback speed?
▾
Yes - variable playback speed (0.75× to 2×) is available to every listener, Free or Coin. Find the speed button in the floating audio player.
Is there a sleep timer?
▾
Yes! A sleep timer is available to every listener. Set it to pause after 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, or at the end of the current episode. Find it in the audio player settings (⚙️ icon).
Can I download episodes to listen offline?
▾
Not right now. Listening requires an active internet connection for both Free and Coin listeners. Offline downloads are on our roadmap - we'll announce it here when it's available.
What audio quality can I expect?
▾
All audiobooks stream at 128kbps by default, the same for every listener. Voice artists upload in MP3 or WAV, we transcode for optimal streaming.
Unlocking Chapters
How does the free wait-to-unlock work?
▾
After you finish the last free chapter or episode (15 for novels/audiobooks, episode 1 for shows), the next one locks for a set number of days before it's free to unlock. The wait time depends on format:
Once the wait passes, the next chapter/episode unlocks automatically and you'll get a notification. Finishing it starts the timer for the one after, and this cycle repeats. Coins skip the wait entirely.
📖Novels: 2-day wait per chapter
🎧Audiobooks: 4-day wait per episode
🎬Shows: 7-day wait per episode
How much does it cost to unlock with coins?
▾
1 coin = ₹0.50. The number of coins per unlock depends on the format:
Coin bundles offer better value the more you buy:
📖Novels: 2 coins / chapter (₹1)
🎧Audiobooks: 4 coins / episode (₹2)
🎬Shows: 6 coins / episode (₹3)
🪙60 coins - ₹29
🪙120 coins - ₹59
🪙240 coins - ₹99 (Most Popular · Save ₹21)
🪙480 coins - ₹239
Do my coins expire?
▾
No. Coins are spent when you unlock a chapter or episode and that unlock is permanent. Unspent coins in your wallet have no expiry date. We don't believe in punishing you for not spending fast enough.
Once I unlock a chapter, can I re-read it anytime?
▾
Yes - unlocked chapters and episodes are permanently yours. You only spend coins once per chapter or episode. Re-read or re-listen as many times as you like. Your unlocked content is tied to your account, safe across devices.
What's the difference between waiting for free and using coins?
▾
Both give you the exact same chapter or episode - the only difference is speed. Wait it out for free (2/4/7 days depending on format), or spend coins to unlock it instantly. There's no other paid tier that skips the queue faster than coins do.
Can I use the same coins for novels, audiobooks and shows?
▾
Yes! Your coin wallet works across the entire platform - there's no separate wallet for reading, listening, or watching. Just remember the cost per unlock is different by format: 2 coins for a novel chapter, 4 coins for an audiobook episode, 6 coins for a show episode.

Any tips for recording quality narration?
▾
Record in a quiet room with soft furnishings to reduce echo. Use a USB condenser microphone if possible. Maintain a consistent distance of 15–20 cm from the mic. Aim for -18 to -20 dBFS average loudness, peaks no louder than -3 dBFS. Check our Creator Resources section for a full guide.

Coin purchases are non-refundable once the coins are issued to your wallet, since they're available for use immediately. If a payment fails or is charged twice due to a technical error, contact us and we'll sort it out.
Is there a free trial before I buy coins?
▾
There's no subscription or trial to worry about, Plotrixx runs on a free-to-start, pay-per-unlock coin model. Read or listen to the first 15 chapters/episodes of anything for free, and only buy coins when you want to skip the wait. Start with the smallest bundle (60 coins, ₹29) to try it out.
