The anxiety of clicking a pirate link isn't just ethical—it's digital security. Those sites are infamous for hosting malware, aggressive pop-ups, and phishing attempts. Protecting your device and personal data is a practical reason to stick to legal retailers. Amazon, Apple, Kobo, and Google have massive security infrastructures. A random '.top' domain offering free novels does not. The risk of getting a virus or having your data stolen is a tangible cost that outweighs any perceived 'savings' from a pirated book. Legal is safe, in every sense.

I don't think there's an official audiobook, unfortunately. Searched high and low after finishing the ebook because I wanted to listen on my commute. Sometimes these indie-published or KU-first titles take a while to get audio versions, if they ever do.
The production costs for audiobooks are pretty significant, so it might not be in the cards. You could always use text-to-speech on your e-reader as a last resort, though it's definitely not the same experience as a professional narrator bringing the characters to life.

The length allows for fantastic side-pairings to develop. By chapter 100, I was almost as invested in the best friend's sister's subplot as I was in the main couple. That kind of rich, novelistic detail is only possible with a high chapter count. It turns a simple romance into a full ensemble drama.

Gonna offer a slightly different angle: sometimes authors run promotions where the first in a series is permanently free. It's not the case for this specific title right now, but signing up for the author's newsletter might net you a different freebie or alert you to a future sale.
For a direct preview of this book, though, retailer sample is the only consistent method I know of.

Why is there an epilogue separate from the book? That seems like a weird publishing choice. Just include it in the edition!

Aside from the big two already mentioned, I think I saw it pop up on Moboreader a while back? But I'm not 100% sure if it's the same version or if it's still there. Their library shifts around a lot. Might be worth a quick search on that app if you have it installed. Generally, though, the exclusive contracts tend to tie these stories to one or two platforms. The fragmentation is real. I wish there was a universal search engine for web novels across all legal apps. Would save so much time and data from downloading apps just to check.

Why does this feel like it changes every other month? I swear I started reading it when it had 18 chapters on Radish, then it jumped to 25 after a binge-update, and now I've lost track.

I'm going to disagree with the strict publication order purists slightly. If you hate the brother's best friend trope but love enemies-to-lovers, just read 'Rival.' It works as a standalone. You'll miss some nuance, but the core romance is self-contained. Life's too short to force yourself through a trope you dislike on the off-chance the next book is better.
That said, if you're neutral or enjoy both tropes, then 100% go with 'Best Friend' first. You're leaving emotional money on the table if you don't. But for trope-specific readers, sometimes pragmatic entry points are okay. Just know what you're sacrificing.
