So long ago, I believe this was a huge deal on Tumblr, and the art/sCOPE worked so well for it that people were likely trying to find free reads of it. If it was originally written in another language, you could look for fan translations of it, and if the author still has an active personal blog or Patreon, you could check to see if they have posted up any of their early drafts for their supporters and it gets left up.

I’ve tried to search for titles similar to this before and ended up getting lost in a whole load of content farms that seem to publish a load of work ‘for free’ in order to get in up the search rankings. It’s very problematic for creators, and can be quite dangerous. The route to finding ‘genuine’ online copies of work is actually usually more time-consuming and less favourable for search algorithms, such as checking an author’s social media or official website, or searching for their work on established online publishing platforms.

I treat webnovels kinda like a streaming service. I got a pretty small monthly entertainment budget, so I split it up to throw some at Webnovel coins, some at Tapas ink, etc. Basically I treat each service like I would Netflix or Spotify with my monthly entertainment fund. This helps me to get over the hump of the initial “it should be free” feeling and really appreciate the convenience, reliability, and quality of the service to the story that I’m actually reading.
Also, I tend to cancel a given bundle of money to a story that stops being fun to read for me. It’s a very flexible and direct way to support the things you actually read.

No, I am assuming that you have considered checking the school library for the book “Keeper” and other Young Adult novels before investigating whether the local public library has them. I found “Keeper” in the school library’s YA section before it turned up in the local public library. Perhaps teachers and librarians could be asked to order a copy for the school library if needed.
A little book swap circle is another way to read widely for free. Be sure to return the books in good condition. Yes, these human-network solutions are often overlooked. But they are free, safe and build a community of people interested in reading. Why not post on your social media accounts and ask your friends and classmates if they have a copy of the first book of the series that you can borrow? You will be surprised by the people around you!

Another very important point is the reading order of the series. Many series have side stories, epilogues or even bonus chapters that are only available on certain platforms. The legal source for the series may also have exclusive content. Webnovel for example tends to hold back the “privilege chapters” for paying customers, while Tapas content may have bonus material for certain events. Essentially, if you want to read the complete, uncut version of the story, you may need to read it on a particular platform. So the legal issue isn’t just where you can read the main story, but also where you can read all the related secondary material.

It's also worth noting the economic model of such a story. It's clearly designed to be as engaging and addictive as possible, in order to encourage microtransactions on a freemium app. As such, I would not be surprised if this story was available on platforms such as Webnovel or MoboReader, where it could be read by people who are able to pay for addictive, power-fantasy, day-by-day, installment-by-install content. Your legal read would likely be behind a coin or ticket system on such a platform - for example, you might be able to read the first few chapters for free, and then have to pay per chapter or sign up for a subscription to read more. (It's not the best model for readers, but it's the model that's currently dominant for this sort of content). I'd try downloading the big webnovel apps and searching for the story within them.

This is the nuance factory. Social media and headlines are supplied with simple, emotive language designed to be read by people in a hurry. But literature, the best nonfiction and even many genres of fiction are functions of nuance. Complex characters are followed, intricate plots unfolded by language which can show subtle changes in a character’s loyalties, quantify degrees of evidence, or Capture the fleetingest of human emotions. Books contain words for types of sadness (melancholy, despondency, wistfulness) and for ways of moving (shambled, darted, undulated) which allow the reader to be trained in finer and finer distinction of experience.

All novels worth reading are already easily available to simple search queries - there are thousands of them.
I don’t have a lot of time to devote to reading and if I have to work hard to find the chapters then I’d rather wait 6 months for someone to have finished making it easier to read.

This is a random page from ‘Junie B. Jones and the Yucky Blucky Fruitcake’. Analyzing this page, the average number of words per sentence is 6-8. The vocabulary consists mainly of single-syllable words and compound words which every child knows. Occasionally, there are some challenging words which are even repeated for children’s practice, such as ‘beautiful’ and ‘actually’. The plot is so simple and can be understood immediately. The humor is largely visual and situational. This is a textbook example of an early chapter book that is written to be enjoyed by children while the reading level is not an accident but rather masterfully crafted to provide maximum enjoyment with minimum decoding difficulty. It is literally a perfectly balanced training bike!

Man, I totally get the hunt for free reads—especially with web novels like 'The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations.' It’s such a hidden gem! I stumbled across it a while back on sites like Webnovel or Novel Updates, where fan translations sometimes pop up. Just be warned: unofficial translations can be hit-or-miss in quality, and they might not have the latest chapters.
If you’re into supporting creators, the official release might be on platforms like Tapas or Tappytoon, but yeah, they’re paywalled. I’ve also seen snippets on blogs or forums, but those can disappear overnight. Honestly, half the fun is the scavenger hunt—just brace for dead links and sketchy pop-ups.
