BookWalker is my personal favorite for digital. They have a global store, and you earn coins back on every purchase that you can use for discounts on future books. Their app is tailored for reading manga and light novels, with a panel-by-panel viewer for the illustrations. The only downside is that their files are locked to their app, so you can't transfer them to a different e-reader. If you're planning to read exclusively on a phone or tablet, though, it's a smooth experience. They frequently run site-wide sales or series-specific discounts, so I'd wait for one of those if you're not in a rush. I bought volumes 1-5 in a bundle during a Golden Week sale.

For a legal read, your options are buying the physical book or the ebook. The physical copy can be found on Barnes & Noble's website, Right Stuf Anime (though they're merging with Crunchyroll now), or even Books-A-Million. It's published by Seven Seas Entertainment, so any major retailer that carries their titles should have it. The ISBN is 978-1-64827-221-2 if you want to search specifically.

The cover art for volume 10 is so good. I almost bought it just for that, even though I'm a few volumes behind. It looks fantastic on the shelf. If you're a collector, the physical copy is definitely the way to go for the full presentation.

A library might be your best bet if you want to try before you buy. Many libraries use apps like OverDrive or Libby, and you can borrow the ebook for free if they have it in their collection. It's a completely legal way to read it without spending money upfront.
If your library doesn't have it, you can often suggest a purchase. This is a super underrated method for accessing light novels. Of course, if you love it, buying a copy afterwards supports the author and publisher directly. It's a win-win approach.

A slightly tangential thought: The way demand outstrips supply for physical light novels really shows the explosive growth of the medium in the West. Five years ago, finding any volume in a store was a miracle. Now we're complaining about Volume 4 being out of stock. It's a good problem to have, even if it's annoying for us readers.

The most underrated method: your local library's physical shelf. I know the question says 'online,' but many libraries now have systems where you can request inter-library loans. I got the first five physical volumes of 'Mushoku Tensei' this way for free. It takes patience, but it works. Then, for subsequent volumes, I used the library's digital loan system (Libby) to fill in the gaps. This hybrid approach cost me nothing and was completely above board. It's a fantastic option for readers on a tight budget or those who want to sample the physical book's feel—illustrations and all—before deciding to invest in a personal digital or physical collection.

Honestly? I'm still rereading volume 12. I'm so behind. But I've bookmarked this thread for when I catch up. Seeing all the options laid out is super helpful for planning my future binge. Keep the recommendations coming!

I remember when this volume first came out in English, the discussion threads were full of people who had read the official release versus those who read early fan translations. The interpretations of certain character motivations were wildly different because of translation nuances. The official version is the definitive one.
To get that definitive version, go to a legitimate seller. Amazon's Kindle store is the most universal. Even if you don't have a Kindle device, you can use the free app on your phone, tablet, or computer. Your purchase syncs across all of them. Search, buy, read. It doesn't get simpler than that.
