The first thing that comes to mind for me is a dedicated e-reader with an E Ink screen. My old Kindle Paperwhite handles PDFs just fine, though the formatting can get weird if the PDF wasn't designed for a small screen. It's not the smoothest experience for a long novel, but it works if you're patient with zooming.
For a better time, any tablet is the obvious winner. My iPad with the Books app or something like Google Play Books on an Android tablet makes it a breeze. The screen size is just right for a PDF page, and you can highlight or bookmark easily. Laptops and desktops, of course, open anything, but that doesn't feel like 'reading a novel' to me anymore—more like studying.
Honestly, even some newer smartphones can manage it in a pinch, but I'd never want to scroll through a whole novel PDF on that tiny screen. It's more for checking a single chapter you urgently need offline.

Finding a PDF of a novel can get weirdly complicated these days. If 'My Ice Girl' is an official English-translated light novel from a publisher like Yen Press or Seven Seas, your simplest option is to buy the digital version from retailers like Google Play Books, Amazon Kindle, or Kobo. Once purchased, you can download the file directly to the app for offline reading. These stores usually provide PDF or EPUB formats.
I'd be careful about random sites promising free PDF downloads. A lot of those are piracy hubs with terrible formatting, missing chapters, or worse, malware. If the novel is originally a web serial from a platform like Webnovel or Scribble Hub, they often have official apps where you can download chapters with in-app currency or a subscription. That's probably the most reliable way to get a clean, readable offline version, even if it's not a traditional PDF.

Finding PDF versions of ongoing web serials like that can be a real pain. I stumbled upon it a while back through Webnovel's app, but they use a coin/unlock system per chapter, not a direct PDF download. The author doesn't seem to have an official PDF bundle for sale anywhere, which isn't surprising for a platform-original story.
You'll see a lot of third-party sites pop up in search results claiming to have the PDF. I'd be super cautious—those are almost always scraped content, sometimes incomplete, and loaded with malware risks. If you absolutely need offline reading, your safest bet is to use the official app's download-for-offline feature within each chapter. It's not a clean PDF, but it's legal and supports the writer.

Searching for those specific files can be frustrating, as they're often unofficial and taken down pretty fast. Legally, publishers almost never release entire novels as free PDFs—that's like giving away the product. If a site offers a full download of 'My Ice Girl' right away, it's usually a pirated copy, which means poor formatting, missing chapters, or worse, malware hidden in the download.
A more reliable method is to check if the author or official publisher has released any substantial previews. Sometimes they'll put up the first few chapters as a sample on their site or through platforms like Webnovel or Wattpad to hook readers. Your library might also have a digital lending service; I've borrowed ebooks through OverDrive before just using my card. The translation status matters too—if it's an officially licensed translation, the chances of a free full version are basically zero.
Honestly, the hassle with sketchy downloads isn't worth it. I'd rather read the official sample and then decide if I want to buy or use a subscription.
