Feature list

JormunTL is a WordPress theme built for web novel, translation, and serialized fiction websites. It combines a novel library, chapter reader, reader accounts, community tools, monetization options, and visual customization into one theme.

Novel Library

JormunTL gives every novel a dedicated profile page with cover art, title, description, genres, status, chapter count, reader metrics, rating display, and action buttons.

The library page helps visitors browse the catalog with genre and status filtering, search-friendly layouts, grid/list display modes, and responsive cards that work across desktop and mobile screens.

Key capabilities:

• Dedicated novel pages with cover, synopsis, metadata, chapter list, reviews, and related titles.
• Genre and status organization for fast browsing.
• Grid and list display styles for different catalog sizes.
• Featured novel support for promoted titles.
• Fallback cover image for titles without artwork.
• Responsive cover sizes designed for novel cards, carousels, and single novel pages.

Chapter Reader

The chapter reader is designed for long reading sessions. It gives readers a focused page with chapter navigation, readable typography, mobile-friendly spacing, and optional audio support.

Key capabilities:

• Dedicated chapter pages linked to each novel.
• Previous/next navigation and novel-aware reading flow.
• Reader typography controls.
• Sticky or non-sticky reading header option.
• Optional audio narration per chapter.
• Locked chapter display for premium or early-access content.

Homepage Builder

The homepage can be assembled from reusable content sections instead of being locked to a single layout.

Available section types:

• Slider for large featured novel promotion.
• Novel carousel for curated or ranking-based displays.
• Latest novels section.
• Latest chapters section.
• Reader request section.

Sections can be reordered, added, removed, and placed in full-width or sidebar-aware layouts. This makes the homepage suitable for small catalogs, active update sites, or larger fiction platforms with multiple discovery paths.

Discovery Carousels

JormunTL includes novel carousel styles for highlighting titles by different editorial or activity signals.

Common carousel uses:

• Featured novels.
• Hot this week.
• Hot this month.
• New releases.

Carousels support cover art, badges, ranking indicators, and responsive scrolling.

Reader Accounts

JormunTL includes frontend account features so readers can interact with the site without relying on the default WordPress login experience.

Reader account features:

• Login and registration modals.
• Optional email verification.
• Reader dashboard.
• Favorite/library management.
• Reading history.
• Profile settings.
• Password change flow.
• Preset avatar support.
• Account deletion request flow.

Reader Library

Readers can save novels to their library and return to them later. The dashboard gives them a personal area for favorites, reading history, comments, and notifications.

This is useful for serialized sites where readers follow multiple novels and need a quick way to resume reading.

Ratings and Reviews

JormunTL supports reader feedback through ratings, reviews, comments, likes, replies, and reports.

Site owners can choose how ratings are displayed and can use manual starting values when importing or launching a catalog that already has known popularity data.

Comments and Community

The theme extends the default comment experience for novel and chapter communities.

Community features:

• Novel reviews and comments.
• Chapter comments.
• Comment likes.
• Threaded replies.
• Comment reporting.
• Moderation word list.
• Reader notifications.
• Community poll widget.

Community Polls

Polls let a site ask readers what they want next, what they are enjoying, or how the site should prioritize content.

Poll features:

• Single-choice polls.
• Active/closed state.
• Optional auto-close date.
• Logged-in voting.
• Results shown after voting or when the poll closes.
• Poll widget for sidebar placement.

Novel Requests

The request feature lets readers suggest novels or stories they want to see on the site. It can be used as a simple community demand signal or connected with the site’s coin system for request costs.

Monetization

JormunTL includes several ways to support paid or supporter-only content.

Monetization features:

• Locked chapters.
• Coin-based chapter unlocks.
• Configurable coin packages.
• Custom coin name and icon.
• Per-chapter unlock cost.
• Default unlock cost.
• Optional auto-unlock after a set number of days.
• Locked chapter preview length.
• Wallet/top-up page.

Payment Gateways

The theme includes payment integration support for:

• Stripe.
• PayPal.
• Ko-fi.
• Patreon.

Payment features are configurable, so a site can start with only the methods it needs and add more later.

Patreon Support

Patreon integration is designed for reader support and early-access workflows.

Ad content can be image/link based or script based, depending on the placement.

Privacy and Compliance Helpers

Features:

• Privacy policy link placement.
• Cookies policy link placement.
• Terms of service link placement.
• Cookie banner.
• DMCA request page and form.

Branding and Visual Customization

JormunTL is built to be customized through theme controls rather than direct code edits.

Customization areas:

• Site logo.

Light and Dark Modes

The theme supports light and dark visual modes, with separate branding support for dark mode. This helps sites match different reader preferences and keeps long reading sessions more comfortable.

Responsive Design

JormunTL is built for desktop and mobile reading. Novel cards, archive lists, homepage sections, menus, search, account controls, and chapter reading layouts adapt to smaller screens.

Built for Serialized Publishing

Unlike a general blog theme, JormunTL is organized around the needs of serialized fiction:

• Novels and chapters are first-class content types.
• Chapters are linked to their parent novel.
• Novel pages include a table of contents.
• Readers can follow multiple stories.
• New chapter feeds and carousels keep updates visible.
• Monetization can be attached to chapters rather than entire posts.
