My Fiction: Stories & Novels

Review by eFreeware

If you read romance in short bursts and want a steady supply of new chapters, My Fiction: Stories & Novels is built with you in mind. The app from Maple House gathers serialized fiction into one library, spanning werewolf, mafia, billionaire, bad boy and sports romance, and it lets you set the heat level to match the mood you are in. It is free to download, and it has been installed over a million times since its release in October 2020.

What you get for that download is a catalog rather than a single series. The developer describes thousands of books and authors, mixing names it calls New York Times and USA Today bestsellers with indie and TikTok writers. That spread matters more than any one title: the appeal is browsing until something hooks you, then following it chapter by chapter.

How the serialized reading works

The format here is episodic. Stories arrive in installments, and the sample titles the developer highlights read like soap opera arcs: a Luna who wakes years earlier and plans revenge, a woman who discovers her husband's betrayal on screen, twin alphas circling the same girl. Each setup is designed to end a chapter on a hook and pull you into the next one.

That rhythm shapes how the app is used. This is not a place for a dense literary novel you read over a month; it is closer to a nightly episode, a few minutes at a time, with a cliffhanger waiting at the end. If that structure appeals to you, the format itself becomes the reason to stay.

The catalog leans hard into romance and its subgenres, and the heat levels give you a way to choose how explicit a story runs. The developer pitches the mix as high-stakes drama and heart-stopping romance, which is a fair description of the territory: jealousy, revenge, fated mates and dangerous men. Readers who want variety within that lane will find plenty to sample.

Genres, heat levels and browsing the catalog

The breadth of themes is the app's main selling point. Werewolves and pack politics sit alongside mafia families, sports stars and billionaires, so the genres span the board rather than one narrow niche. The heat-level setting is the feature I would use most, since it lets you steer toward a sweeter story or a steamier one without leaving the app.

Because the catalog is large, discovery is a big part of the experience. With thousands of titles to sort through, the practical question is how quickly you find the tone you want, and the genre and heat filters are the tools for that. The sample stories suggest the app is comfortable recommending by trope: secret babies, second chances, fated mates, revenge plots.

What appeals to me about this setup is that it does not pretend to be a general bookstore. It is a serialized romance and drama service, and the browsing experience is organized around that. If you already know you like these tropes, the size of the library works in your favor.

The writers' side of the app

My Fiction also invites authors in. The app is open to writers who want to connect with readers, and a team of editors, copyeditors, artists, publicists and marketing strategists supports the stories it publishes. For an aspiring serial writer, that is a pitch worth reading closely: the app is positioning itself as a place to build an audience, not just a shelf to publish on.

That two-sided approach explains the tone of the catalog. The app wants a steady flow of new serials, which is why it leans on emerging authors alongside established names. For readers, the benefit is volume and freshness; for writers, the draw is a built-in readership that already comes to the app for this style of story.

The developer also keeps a presence on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter under the Myfictionapp handle for news and updates. That is the channel it points to for what is new, which matters in an app whose value depends on a continuing stream of chapters.

Ads, purchases and the age rating

The app is free, and it carries ads and in-app purchases. The rating is Mature 17+, which fits the revenge, betrayal and romance themes the catalog advertises.

The install base is large, but the reception has been mixed: the app holds a 3.4 average across more than 23,000 ratings, with roughly 3,500 written reviews. That is not a ringing endorsement, and it is the number I would weigh most heavily before installing, because it suggests the experience divides its audience even though the catalog keeps growing.

The app was last updated in June 2026, so it is actively maintained rather than left to sit. For a serialized fiction service, regular updates are a reasonable signal that new stories and fixes keep arriving.

Who this library is built for

My Fiction suits readers who already enjoy serialized romance and want a large, constantly refreshed pool of it. If you like werewolf, mafia, billionaire or sports romance and you read in short sessions, the format and the catalog line up with how you already read. The heat-level control is a genuine convenience for anyone whose tastes shift from one week to the next.

It also suits writers who want to publish serially and reach readers who are already looking for this kind of story. The editorial and marketing support is the part that would interest me most if I were submitting work.

The app is narrower than a general reading app, and that is the point. It is built around one style of storytelling, and its strengths and its audience both come from that focus.

A free start for serial romance readers

For a free download, My Fiction offers a lot of reading: thousands of titles, a range of romance subgenres and a heat-level setting that lets you tune the experience. The episodic structure is well matched to reading on a phone in spare moments, and the writer program gives the catalog a reason to keep growing.

My recommendation is simple: if serialized romance and drama are already your reading habit, install it, browse by genre and heat level, and see whether the sample titles pull you in. If you want a broad reading app for many kinds of books, this one is built for a narrower audience than that.
