I got lucky and downloaded EPUBs of the first two hundred chapters from a fan compilation before the links went dead. Those files are floating around on certain forums if you know where to look—places where people share personal libraries. The translations are decent, not perfect, but readable. After that, you have to switch to RR directly. The tone shift is noticeable, but you adjust.
Just read it on Royal Road itself, man. The author's putting the chapters out there directly. Yeah, it's in English, but it's the source. Why chase a translation when you can get the real deal? The community comments are part of the experience too. All those other sites are just scraping the RR content anyway, often with worse formatting and more ads. Support the actual creator.
This might be a bit of a hot take, but I think the ship has sailed for a clean, complete translation. The novel's been around for a while, and the fan translation scene for it seems to have dissipated. I remember a Discord server that was coordinating it years ago, but that's long gone. Your best bet now is probably using a text-to-speech extension on the Royal Road page if you're struggling with the English. The native prose isn't overly complex. It's a shame, because I know there's demand, but without an official push, it's just too niche now for a dedicated group to pick back up. You might find archived chunks on Wayback Machine versions of old translation sites, but it'll be a patchwork.
Honestly, Chrysalis translations have always been a bit of a mess from what I've seen. The whole thing started on Royal Road, but as it got popular, unofficial translations popped up everywhere, and then some got taken down. These days, you're kinda hunting for scraps. There are a few aggregator sites that still have the early chapters—you know the ones, with the janky ad overlays and sometimes weird phrasing. I'd check a few of the usual suspects in the web novel space, the ones that aren't super aggressive about DMCA. The problem is the translation quality varies wildly chapter to chapter because different groups worked on different parts.
A friend mentioned they saw some activity on a smaller translation blog that was trying to clean up the earlier arcs, but I lost the link. It's frustrating because the original on RR is so much fun, and the official translation just... hasn't happened in any complete way. You might have better luck just diving into the comments on the original Royal Road page; sometimes people drop links to ongoing fan projects in the discussion threads there. It's all pretty fragmented.

Adrian died with fury in his heart, hating the tragic ending of his favorite novel.
The villain deserved better.
But the story was never written for happy endings.
Betrayed by everyone he trusted, feared by the entire world, and ultimately destroyed by the plot itself—Cassian Nyx, the infamous Demon Lord, was never meant to be saved.
Until Adrian woke up inside the story.
He didn't reincarnate as a harmless bystander. He woke up as Prince Elian Ashford—the tyrannical prince destined to destroy Cassian.
Worse, a cold, ruthless World System instantly locks onto his soul, forcing him to keep the original tragedy on its "correct" path.
[MISSION: MAINTAIN STORY STABILITY]
Failure Penalty: Immediate Death.
Trapped between a lethal penalty and his own morals, Adrian chooses a dangerous path: pretend to follow the plot while secretly rewriting the villain's destiny.
But there’s only one problem.
The more Adrian tries to save the villain, the more the dangerous, obsessive Demon Lord begins to love him.
Cassian Nyx is a monster feared by the entire kingdom. He trusts no one. Until Adrian. For the first time in centuries, the scarred Demon Lord begins to hope for a future where someone finally stays.
Now, the original hero has arrived, and the System is forcing the final execution. Every choice Adrian makes pushes the world further into chaotic plot deviation.
Adrian must make his final choice. Will he obey the System to save his own life? Or will he destroy the entire story itself just to save his villain?
Genre: BL Fantasy Romance / Transmigration
Tropes: Obsessive Demon Lord ML × Reincarnated Prince MC, Saving the Obsessive Demon Lord / Destroying the Plot for You, System Missions, Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn, Angst with Comfort, Soul Bond.

A witch who has lived for thousands of years has grown bored with her own life and decided to leave it. Since she is an immortal, her soul cannot leave the world.
However, what she can do is transfer her soul to another body.
By a stroke of luck, she happens to enter the body of a princess.
She was considered a miracle because when the Empress gave birth to her, the princess instantly died, along with the Empress.
What the witch didn't know was that she has entered such a predicament.
She has to endure the love of the cruel Emperor and possessiveness of the crazy twin princes!
What will her life be at the hands of such a loving family?
In addition, it seems that this body contains mana that was lost in the royal family centuries ago!
The end of the world was upon us, but there weren't enough spots for evacuation.
The roars of the zombies echoed in my ears as my fiancé, Oliver, gritted his teeth and pulled me onto the rescue vehicle—securing the last available seat.
I arrived safely at the survivor base. Lina, his first love, did not. The zombies tore her apart.
Oliver still went through with our marriage, but I never expected that he had only done so to make me suffer.
In his eyes, I was the one who had killed Lina. If she had to endure such agony, then I should, too.
For five years, he hated me. My life was worse than that of a stray dog scavenging for food on the street.
On the day my divorce was finalized, he kidnapped me, dragged me into the wilderness, and wrapped his fingers around my throat. Then, he threw us both into the swarm of the undead.
When I opened my eyes again, I was somehow reborn on the day the apocalypse began.
The rescue team was shouting impatiently, "One more! We have room for one more—hurry!"
I turned to Oliver, watching his hesitation. Then, with a quiet smile, I took a step back and let someone else have the last seat.
The narrative starts a year ago. When it was discovered that she was the daughter of a noble traitor, the imperial family issued an order for her execution. Numerous aristocrats cheered consequently, including the true daughter of the Lafera family and her beloved former fiancé Casimir Romana. Formerly a beautiful lady and crown princess, Solstice Lafera was imprisoned and given the death penalty. She knew she would die permanently if she was put to death. Fortunately, she was reborn three significant years before her execution. This time, can she accomplish her goals with the aid of fate?
A thirty-year-old office lady, who got into an accident and is now trapped inside a novel series she loves. She was reincarnated into one of the side character extras of the story and meets in person the tyrant magician, the playboy prince, and the clueless female lead of the story.
Reborn on Selection Day: Giving Birth to the S-Rank White Lion

My younger sister, Chloe, and I were transmigrated together into a beastworld continent.
Beastmen are classified into four distinct ranks: S, A, B, and C.
The tribe chieftain, Gideon, gathered all the single beastmen in the tribe for us to choose from.
Chloe chose Garrett, the only A-rank werewolf in the entire tribe.
She gave birth to five consecutive litters, yet all her children turned out to be mere B-rank beastmen.
Furious, Garrett dissolved their mating bond.
The other males refused to take her in either, entirely because the offspring she produced were of a mediocre grade.
Meanwhile, I chose a B-rank snake shifter and gave birth to ten children in a single litter—all of whom were A-rank.
The entire tribe revered me as a divine lady, and the snake shifter successfully inherited Gideon's position.
Consumed by sheer jealousy, Chloe poisoned my ten children to death and pushed me off a cliff, leaving me to plunge to my death.
Yet, when I opened my eyes again, we had returned to the exact day of selecting our mates.
Without a single moment of hesitation, Chloe chose the snake shifter.
I knew right then that she had been reincarnated too.
But this time, the children she gave birth to would not even qualify as C-rank.
There’s a specific kind of itch 'Chrysalis' scratches that’s rare in translated web novels. Usually, the isekai/reincarnation genre is so saturated with overpowered human protagonists in fantasy settings that it becomes background noise. Here, you’ve got a protagonist reborn as a monster ant in a dungeon ecosystem, which completely reframes the power progression. It’s not about gathering a harem or building a kingdom; it’s survival, colony management, and understanding a totally alien society from the inside out. The system mechanics feel integral to the world-building, not just a slapped-on video game interface.
What really cemented its popularity for me was the translation quality on Royal Road. The prose is clear, the monster-POV voice is distinct without being gimmicky, and the pacing manages to make watching an ant dig tunnels and fight centipedes genuinely tense. It doesn’t try to force human morality onto the protagonist, which allows for a different kind of character growth. The community engagement around chapter predictions and system analysis on the site adds another layer—it feels like being part of a weird biology lab observing an experiment.
The most straightforward place is on Webnovel itself, the original platform. The translation is officially hosted there under the title 'Chrysalis'. You can read a big chunk for free; they use the standard model where the initial hundred-something chapters are unlocked, then you need to use the app's daily pass or coin system. It's a bit of a grind, but the quality is consistent and it supports the translators. I ended up just reading what was free there and then switched over to the RRL version when I hit the paywall.
There is a version on Royal Road labeled 'Chrysalis' too, but that's actually the original, unedited draft the author posted. It's complete and totally free, but it's quite different from the polished, edited story on Webnovel—some character names are changed, the pacing is rougher, and the ending arcs differ. If you just want the story without paying, RRL is your best bet, but be aware it's not the 'definitive' version most people discuss.
Finding fan-translated web novels can feel like stumbling into a hidden treasure trove. I've spent years diving into obscure forums and sites, and I can tell you the landscape has changed a lot. Back in the day, sites like 'Baka-Tsuki' were the go-to spots, but these days, aggregator sites like 'NovelUpdates' are the real hubs. They don’t host the translations themselves but act as directories, linking to fan translators’ blogs or sites like 'Wuxiaworld' (which has both official and fan works). The beauty of NovelUpdates is its community—users rate translations, so you can avoid machine-translated garbage.
A word of caution, though: fan translations exist in a legal gray area. Some authors tolerate them, while others issue takedowns. I’ve seen entire projects vanish overnight. If you want to support creators, consider buying the official release once it’s available. For now, though, places like 'Tumblr' and 'Discord' often have smaller translators sharing their work under the radar. Just remember: patience is key. Good translations take time, and pestering translators for updates is a surefire way to get blocked.
I was looking for that myself a few months back. Honestly, it's tricky because the author has a deal with Podium Audio for the official audiobooks, which usually means they're trying to lock down the digital text rights too. You might find some scattered chapters on aggregator sites, but they're often incomplete or have really bad machine translation that butchers the humor. The progression and system mechanics get totally lost.
Your best free option is probably just reading it directly on Royal Road. The author publishes it there first in English, so that's the original, not a translation. It's free to read online on the site or through their app. If you're looking for a language other than English, that's where it gets murky—I haven't seen any sanctioned translations, so anything labeled 'translation' is almost definitely an unauthorized scrape.
