Because this is a Radish story, my free reading experience is going to be somewhat fragmented. You can read the first batch of chapters immediately and then hit a paywall after that. You can then either buy coins to read more or wait 24 hours to get a free “key” to read one more chapter. I haven’t been able to find this book on any of the reputable free ebook sites (such as Project Gutenberg) or on library apps for your phone or tablet (such as Libby). There are aggregator blogs that post lists of “free novels” but these are generally spammy and contain links to download “free” novels that will fill your device with malware. It’s really frustrating but, in order to read this, you have to play along with the Radish system. Essentially it’s a free premiere of a serialized TV show and then you have to subscribe to keep watching.

Reading the free parts and then coming back to the story after a break can also work. Once in a while Webnovel has a site-wide promotion, where privilege chapters are cheaper or even all series have a ‘free access weekend’. I’ve been stockpiling coins during those big sales and as a result, the cost for me to read more has turned from prohibitive to manageable. There are tons of great progression fantasies that offer much more free content on Royal Road, or even 100% free on the author’s website. ‘Shadow Slave’ is great and all, but there are so many more games to play, so to speak. Diversifying my reading makes the waiting for free access or sales much less painful.

Are there other people out there feeling like we're drowning in a sea of web fiction apps, and each time someone new is suggested for reading a particular story, we just roll our eyes and say "Ugh, not another app for reading stories"... Webnovel, Radish, Kindle, AO3 are the four apps that I'm currently using for reading stories online, and I really don't want another app to be added to that list to consume even more of my battery and to send me even more notifications. I wish web fiction was more like it used to be and we could just go to a single website and read a particular story there. But as it is now, web fiction is pretty Balkanized. My answer to "Where can I read that?" is usually, "I don't know, and I'm not downloading another app to find out."
I'd just read something else on that platform. There's plenty of other content. Apps prey on the fear that you're missing out on a particular story, and sometimes you just have to let it go and discover something new in your existing library of content.

I have seen so many memes about this book, I might just have to read it to see for myself what all the hype is about.

Has anyone here actually read this? Is it any good? The premise sounds interesting and it’s a thing I’d read. I’m skeptical of web-serials-turned-ebooks, because so many of them have poor pacing, having been written for daily updates as opposed to one, long novel. If it’s worth the money to buy it, or even just to put a hold on it at my library, then I’ll seek it out. But if it’s just going to be mediocre, then no, I won’t go looking for a free ecopy. A brief, spoiler-free review from someone in this thread would be much more useful to me than a link to read it. Quality should get quality effort from me.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited offers ‘Bitten by Fate’ amongst other related works. Read it for free with the Amazon Kindle Unlimited free trial month. You can also look for ‘Bitten by Fate’ on library apps like Hoopla and request it from your local library. I found this book whilst trawling through #ShifterRomance tags on Goodreads and comments on the Goodreads page for the book often include links to obscure sites hosting the work.

Note to reader: this scan is reading a rather cruddy translation of the romance between the protagonist and Amarah. The free sources do this storyline a great deal of injustice. I have tried to read it fairly and provide an accurate scan, but keep in mind that the poor translation has caused the dialogue to read rather painfully. It is much better in official source, for what that is worth.
When it comes to just Action & Cultivation development, translation quality does not really matter. Almost any translation of The Good for Nothing Boy will work fine for that. But for character development that helps you care about the characters, translation quality really matters. So skim the fight scenes on free sites, but spend money on the official app for key emotional scenes. Read hybrid.

Beats me! Like I said, I stick to quality stuff that’s been published on Audible these days. It’s better quality control and I don’t have to worry about links not working or whether the author ever finishes the story. Searching for free online serials just got too crazy for me. But hey, that’s just me!

I ‘borrow’ from Amazon by making use of the Kindle books that my friends and family have purchased in abundance. I can add their Kindle books to my own ‘Family Library’ and then ‘lend’ them for two weeks (among other things). This is a ‘feature’ of Amazon that not many people are aware of and it is perfect for single reads.
Sometimes books are published for lending to friends and family, and you can check for these on the book’s product page by looking under ‘Actions’ to see if there is a ‘Loan this book’ link. This isn’t free in the limitless sense, but free in that it means you get to read the book for free if someone else already owns it.

As for ‘Rejected the Alpha Queen’… I seem to recall a similar story by an author who publishes their work serialized on Dreame or GoodNovel (those are two apps that specialize in paranormal romance novels). You might want to check if the author has published anything else on Dreame or GoodNovel, or even look up their Patreon (a search for ‘Patreon + [author name]’ should lead you to any early drafts they’re sharing). I recall Royal Road’s forums mentioning a few werewolf plot recommendations, although most of those would likely be LitRPG.
