XP TRACKERA reading habit tracker that turns pages into XP
Daily Reading is one of your core quests. Read your pages, log them, earn XP. Each class you play also adds a classic book to an in-app library.
Reading loses to the phone
You want to read more. Then evening comes, you pick up your phone "for a second", and the book stays on the nightstand. The book asks for attention up front and pays you back later. The phone pays you right now.
XP Tracker gives reading an instant payout. Pages earn XP. XP fills your level bar, hurts the boss and unlocks the next panel of your class story, and some levels drop a gear case or a pet egg. The book still pays you back later. Now it pays a little tonight too.
How Daily Reading works
- Read your pages.The quest asks for a set number of pages. Any book counts.
- Log them.Add the pages you read. You can log in more than one sitting.
- Earn XP.Reach the goal and the quest completes and pays its XP.
- Keep the streak.Like every quest, Daily Reading keeps its own streak. A rest day holds it until tomorrow.
A classic for every class
Each class is paired with a public-domain book that fits its spirit. When you play a class, its book joins Your Library inside the Daily Reading quest, and you can read it right in the app, even offline.
| Class | Book | Author |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Treasure Island | Robert Louis Stevenson |
| Druid | The Jungle Book | Rudyard Kipling |
| Bard | The Happy Prince and Other Tales | Oscar Wilde |
| Outlaw | The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood | Howard Pyle |
| Hunter | White Fang | Jack London |
| Shaman | Ecclesiastes | Traditionally attributed to King Solomon |
| Necromancer | Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde | Robert Louis Stevenson |
| Monk | Tao Te Ching | Laozi (James Legge translation) |
The library is optional. Read your own books and the quest works the same way.
Protect your reading time
Lock the feed. App Lock keeps distracting apps locked until you've finished the number of quests you set. Put Daily Reading in that number and the book comes first.
Pick a slot. Use Order My Day to place Daily Reading in the same spot each day, after Plan Your Day or before Close the Day.
Pair it with a weekly review. The Weekly Review quest asks for three wins and one lesson. A line from your book often makes a good lesson.
Three ways to make reading stick
- Lower the bar. Ten pages a day adds up to about 300 pages a month. Start there, or lower.
- Keep the book where your phone lives. If the phone charges by the bed, put the book on top of it.
- Quit books you hate. A streak on a book you dread won't last. Swap it and keep going.

How reading fits the rest of XP Tracker
Daily Reading is one quest in a full day of them, and it pays the same way. The XP you earn from pages counts toward your level, the boss you're fighting this week and the Daily Conquest, the day's target number of quests.
Some gear pieces boost the XP you get from certain quests. Collect the right pieces and your reading pays more, which nudges you to keep the habit going.
The books in the library also fit the classes. Treasure Island sits with the Warrior because the class is about fear and nerve. The Tao Te Ching sits with the Monk, the last class, which is about letting go. Reading a class's book while you play it gives the quests and the comic another layer.
If you're playing for the reading, the Monk, Shaman and Bard classes lean the most toward reflection. You can see each class's quests, bosses and book on the classes page.
Questions people ask
How does the Daily Reading quest work?
The quest asks you to read a set number of pages. You log the pages you read and the quest completes when you reach the goal. Any book counts, on paper or on a screen.
Which books are in the in-app library?
There are eight public-domain classics, one for each class: Treasure Island (Warrior), The Jungle Book (Druid), The Happy Prince and Other Tales (Bard), The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (Outlaw), White Fang (Hunter), Ecclesiastes (Shaman), Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (Necromancer) and the Tao Te Ching (Monk).
Do I have to read the books in the app?
No. Read whatever you like. The library is there if you want a classic that matches the class you're playing.
Can I read the library books offline?
Yes. The books ship inside the app, so you can read them without a connection.
Is there a pages-per-day goal?
The quest sets a number of pages. Start with what feels easy. A few pages every day beats a big goal you give up on.
