If audiobooks are part of your 'novels' definition, then Libby again is the king for free, offline listening. Downloading audiobooks is just as seamless as ebooks, and the playback continues perfectly without a signal. For pure-text, another interesting option is 'Serial Reader'. It delivers classic public domain books in daily, bite-sized installments, which it downloads in advance. It's a different approach to offline reading—curated, paced, and automatic. It ensures you always have something to read offline, even if it's just the next 15-minute chunk of 'Moby Dick'.
Cross-platform sync of your offline library is a killer feature if you use multiple devices. Google Play Books and Kindle both let you download a book to your phone and tablet separately, and they'll sync your last read page via their own cloud when you're back online. But for truly offline sync, you need an app that uses Wi-Fi Direct or manual file transfer. It's a more niche need, but if you want your offline progress on a laptop and a phone without any internet ever, that's a much harder problem that few free apps solve elegantly.
Check out 'BookFusion'. It has a free tier with limited cloud storage, but its offline reading is first-class. It syncs your reading progress, highlights, and notes across devices via its own cloud, but all the content is available offline on each device once downloaded. The web app is also strong, so you can start on a laptop and pick up offline on your phone. It's a good middle ground between the walled gardens of Kindle/Apple and the completely local apps like Moon+ Reader, offering sync for your sideloaded collection.
Alright, my final, practical take: For the average person who wants the least hassle and a mix of free library books and personal files, start with Libby and Google Play Books used together. Libby for borrowed books, Play Books for your own EPUBs and PDFs. Both are free, reputable, have excellent offline download, and sync across platforms. They cover 99% of use cases. Only venture into the world of specialty reader apps if you have specific needs they don't meet, like advanced typography or massive local library management.
I just use my phone's browser and save pages as PDFs. It's clunky, but it works and I don't have to learn a new app.

Adrian died with fury in his heart, hating the tragic ending of his favorite novel.
The villain deserved better.

Failure Penalty: Immediate Death.
Trapped between a lethal penalty and his own morals, Adrian chooses a dangerous path: pretend to follow the plot while secretly rewriting the villain's destiny.

Cassian Nyx is a monster feared by the entire kingdom. He trusts no one. Until Adrian. For the first time in centuries, the scarred Demon Lord begins to hope for a future where someone finally stays.
Now, the original hero has arrived, and the System is forcing the final execution. Every choice Adrian makes pushes the world further into chaotic plot deviation.
Adrian must make his final choice. Will he obey the System to save his own life? Or will he destroy the entire story itself just to save his villain?

Depends on your definition of 'free'. If you mean completely free with no hidden costs, 'Librera Reader' is a powerhouse. It supports a ridiculous number of formats (PDF, EPUB, MOBI, even comic book archives) and treats your device's folder as your library. I use it to read technical manuals and novels side-by-side. Since it's just a local file manager for documents, offline is its default, permanent state. No accounts, no subscriptions.
I've tested countless apps for offline reading. The best free option, hands down, is 'Lithium'—it supports EPUB and PDF formats, has a clean interface, and even offers customizable themes for night reading.
Another solid choice is 'Moon+ Reader', which not only allows offline access but also syncs your progress across devices if you log in. For classic literature lovers, 'Project Gutenberg' is a treasure trove of public domain books that can be downloaded and read offline.
If you prefer audiobooks, 'LibriVox' offers free public domain audiobooks that can be downloaded. Each of these apps has unique strengths, so your choice depends on whether you prioritize format support, customization, or content variety.
WebToon's app, while primarily for comics, has a 'Canvas' section with a ton of user-generated comic novels and hybrid formats. You can download episodes for offline viewing. While it's visual, many of these are text-heavy narrative comics or illustrated novels. If your definition of 'novel' is flexible and includes heavy visual storytelling, this is a fantastic free source. The vertical scroll format is perfect for phones, and the download function is one of the most reliable I've used—simple, fast, and never fails to open offline.
