This romance is very culturally specific, even though it’s about an American Navy SEAL. There are many parts of the story telling that are very typical of translated East Asian web novels. I actually feel like this would be best read on Webnovel, because it is a web novel platform that hosts many novels of this exact style and length. The translation is probably done with the typical East Asian web novel reader in mind, so that’s just another plus for readers of that style of fiction.

I understand you want to read it. The most straightforward method of reading the novel is through the Bilibili Comics app which is the official publisher of the English version of the novel. The title is in the app’s library. I read the novel through the app a few months ago and it was a very positive reading experience.
Yes there is a coin system for premium content, but the whole thing is free to read using the daily pass, which refreshes at midnight every day. There’s no cliffhanger, as the story is complete. The translation does a good job of conveying the psychological insides of the ‘antidote’ metaphor that makes up the entire plot.
Note that, if you’re against reading comics on an app, you can also read their comics through a web browser on your computer at comics.bilibili.com. The experience is generally similar. Creating an account on either platform is highly recommended, as you’ll be able to sync your reading between devices. As always, be wary of the many shady aggregators of comics online—most won’t have the full series, and won’t enable comments. Reading webcomics online is half the fun!

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!

Ooh, this title is so visually descriptive that I can imagine the plot unfold before my very eyes - especially the pivotal scene of the biting. Was it done in anger? Passion? Protection? The 'first' makes one wonder if there's going to be a 'second' - perhaps the author will depict the childhood sweetheart's desperate attempt to re-gain what he perceives to be lost. A complex, messy love triangle/ graph of emotions awaits, with so much potential for pain and heartache. However, the author would have to be extremely talented to successfully depict a rejected party who is NOT a villain, but rather, a tragic figure. Most would read a story like this for simple wish-fulfillment, but the author's skill would be to make the reader care for all 3 parties involved.

The best way to access free military romance online would be to start with ZLibrary (z-lib.io). The website can be a bit confusing to use but I managed to find ‘Night Strike’ by Linda Night there. For more amateur/heartfelt military romance, the tag system on Wattpad is really good. ‘Soldier’s Heart’ by RainonSan Diego is a good example.
Many libraries support OverDrive, which I use to read free eBooks, including “Into the Storm” by Melanie Moreland. Search for “military romance” and filter by “available now”.

So a quick checklist of places I’d want to search for a title like ‘Abandoned by My Stepbrother’ would be to search the exact title in quotes plus the names of retailers where I’d normally buy a book (Amazon, Google Play, Kobo etc) – and then to search for the title on sites where it might be serialized (like Tapas or Webnovel). I’d also check an author’s social media accounts for links to where you can read their work.
If I cannot find a title online (even using search terms like a full book title plus retailer names), I search for the title on library apps (e.g. Libby, OverDrive, Hoopla) — sometimes less-commercial releases are made available via digital lending to libraries and their patrons. As for unofficial versions of a work, I generally avoid PDF “dumps” as well as scanlation “mirror sites”. Although such sources may provide access to content in a timely manner, they are generally unreliable and may be detrimental to the authors and other individuals involved in the work’s production. When I am able to locate a legitimate copy of a work, I attempt to access it through official channels, even if only on a pay-per-chapter basis. There is much to be said for a clean, safe reading experience. Even tracking down the “correct” edition of a work can be fun, and leads to a very satisfying reading experience in the end.

I love that everyone is just assuming that OP is searching for the manhwa, when in reality they could be searching for the original novel. That would require an entirely different search. NovelUpdates is the hub for all your fan-translated novel needs. Go to the NovelUpdates series page for the novel you are interested in, and it will list off all of the current translation sites that are working on said novel. While the manhwa is definitely visually stunning, the novel really delves deeper into the plot and really gets into Roxana’s cunning mind. As a fast reader who really enjoys detailed scheming, I would definitely recommend seeking out the novel. Translation quality can vary from chapter to chapter, but overall it’s a really great and captivating story that is definitely worth the time and effort of a story-heavy fan.

Could this be on Novel Updates? Although Novel Updates primarily follows translations of Asian novels, they also have a forum for readers of original English stories on various websites, and have a 'where to read' section on the Novel Updates forum for such stories. As this is a community of people who read serialized fiction online, they would likely know of a story such as this, even if it weren't a translation, and you could ask them for information on it.
Novel Updates is a great site for serialized fiction readers. Even if the Novel you’re looking for isn’t a translation, Novel Updates is usually a good place to start looking for readers who know the various Novel communities and platforms, both legitimate and otherwise. We don’t allow pirated versions of any Novel on our site, but we do allow discussions of them on legitimate platforms. It’s easier to get answers from knowledgeable readers in specialized communities like this one rather than a more general book community. These folks live and breathe Novel apps and sites. They’ll know of any loopholes or lesser known sites where a Novel might be hosted.

I think most people are unaware that there is an official Twitter account for Boyfriends (@boyfriendscomic). In addition to all of the Webtoon content, this account constantly posts extras (such as sketches), work in progress (WIP) shots, and short comic strips that never get included in the chapters on Webtoon. These add a ton of extra character moments and jokes to the already excellent content we get in the actual chapters.
Creator social media accounts are pretty much the new ‘deleted scenes’ for webcomics, so that’s where people experiment and interact with each other. The best place to get more free ‘Boyfriends’? The @boyfriendscomic Twitter account. Follow, scroll, and enjoy – sometimes there will be links to the creator’s charity streams or collaborative zines, where you can get a glimpse of some of the exclusive art he’s created.

For dense classics like The Brothers Karamazov readers can expect to spend around 20-35 hours reading through the pages of the book, depending on reading speed. But for fans of the complex, character driven novel who are also looking for something a bit more fantasy oriented and moving at a quicker pace than Karamazov, The Varkas Brothers And Their Princess could be just the ticket. For The Varkas Brothers And Their Princess, three warrior brothers are bound by a magical oath, but as they are called to save the kingdom from an ancient evil, they must also contend with royal politics and their own conflicting loyalties. And at the center of it all is a mysterious princess.
