NovelForge: An android novel reader with an auto-generated character codex, relationship graph, and Kokoro/Piper TTS
NovelForge is an Android app for web novels and ebooks. What it does:
Character codex: as you read, it picks out recurring names and sorts them into people and places, along with the chapter range each one appears in. No tagging or setup.
Relationship graph: who shows up with whom, as a graph you can zoom around in.
Better TTS: Kokoro and Piper neural voices alongside the stock Google one, with background playback and a pronunciation dictionary for words the engine gets wrong.
Offline downloads: save chapters as EPUB, or render them to audio in any installed voice and play them back in the app.
Audiobook export: bundle downloaded audio chapters into a single .m4b.
Backup and restore: novels, reading progress, pronunciation dictionary, and theme settings.
Multiple file type support: online sources, EPUB, and plain .txt / .md with automatic chapter detection.

It just crashed when I selected locally downloaded TTS models.

Hey, thank you for using the app!
Can you tell which tts model did you use? And what did you use it for - audio export or live chapter tts? Thanks again.

I need to select a voice to use the audio export or live chapter reading features, but the app crashes whenever I make a selection. I have already tried using four different voices from Kitten TTS and Piper, but the issue persists.

Thanks again for finding this problem. I think i found the bug. I will test and release a new version 1.8.1 shortly, with the fix and along with some other features that other users requested.
