The author did an AMA last year and was asked this directly. They said, and I quote, 'For first-time readers, I envisioned the journey as it was published. The past should feel like a discovery, not a prologue.' So there's your definitive answer from the source. Publication order: 1. 'The Storm's Cradle', 2. 'The Gilded Cage', 3. 'The Silent Forest', 4. 'The Ninth Tide'. Read the novella whenever you want more after that.

Look for curated sites that specialize in 'light novel' or 'web novel' aggregates with quality control. Sites like 'NovelUpdates' don't host content but act as a directory. They link to translation groups' own websites, which are usually cleaner and more respectful of the work than the scrapers. You can see user ratings, reviews, and tags for each series, including Infaa Alocious.
They also track translation progress, so you'll know if a project is ongoing, stalled, or complete. This prevents the heartbreak of getting 80% through a story only to find the last few chapters were never translated. It's a planning tool as much as a discovery tool. Bookmark the series page and check it periodically for new links.

Have you checked Scribble Hub? I don't think they host official licenses, but sometimes authors publish their original English works there. Wait, 'Infaa Alocious' is a translation, right? Then never mind. For official translations, you really need to look at the bigger commercial platforms, not community writing sites.

Has anyone actually seen an official English translation? I remember the fan translations were huge years ago, but I have no idea if a publisher ever picked it up.
It's one of those series that feels like it's in licensing limbo—super popular in certain circles but no clear legal way to read it in English. Super frustrating for collectors.

After the third book, there's a time jump. The duology feels like a sequel series, but with the same central character. So psychologically, be prepared for a shift. The reading order is straightforward, but the tonal order is: personal mystery, then political epic.
Some readers struggle with the shift. If you adore the intimate, magical detective work of the first book, the large-scale war in book 4 might feel jarring. Push through—the character work remains stellar, just on a different stage.

The number is less important than knowing where to find the good stuff. The first two novels are on Royal Road. The next two moved to a subscription platform. The fifth one is back on a free site. It's a mess! Just use an aggregator site that tracks updates across platforms; it'll show you all the titles and where they're hosted.

The obsession with this novel is real in my Discord. Someone just dropped a Google Drive link yesterday that had a PDF of the first four chapters, sourced from a now-defunct promo site. It's still floating around if you dig through fan threads. Not sure how legal it is, but it's out there.

Lurking in this thread to see if anyone has a magic solution I haven't tried yet. My current setup is a mess of browser bookmarks and half-remembered forum posts.

Huh. I just searched my local library's OverDrive and found nothing. Maybe it's a US thing?
The regional differences in digital lending are wild. Something available in one county's system is completely absent in the next.

Sometimes the free version is the original web serial, which is longer and rougher than the edited, published novel. Some fans prefer that version for its raw, unpolished feel and extra subplots that got cut for pacing. That might be worth hunting for in archives.
