This may be a regional licensing issue. As someone who lives in Canada, I occasionally find that stories that my US/UK friends can access on an app are not available to me. I've had friends send me direct links to stories they're reading on an app, only to find that I receive a message stating that the content is not available in my region. The mess of publishing rights for digital content is so complex.
You might try setting your VPN to a US location and seeing if you can find and access the title within the app's catalog (since the title is presumably available on the app in the US). This approach worked for me with video and music streaming services, so it's not an entirely out-of-left-field ask for a service delivering serialized fiction locked behind various geo-restricted content deals.

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.

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!

It is worth remembering that this book was written and published at the height of the modern prepper movement. A serious, no-nonsense, consider-all-the-angles book, was exactly what was wanted in that market. Its success, in part, was due to its branding. The ‘real SEAL tactics’ would have appealed to a massive audience already high on anxiety from the uncertainties of modern life. This book packaged that anxiety up neatly and provided a list of tasks to complete in order to tackle it. It does not matter if the SEAL tactics described are 100% authentic or 80% similar to the generic prepper tactics already listed elsewhere, because what it provides is a huge amount of emotional authenticity in addressing the deep-seated fear of the unknown that now edges most of our daily lives. The package of ‘real’ military tactics and the structure to implement them, in order to provide a handle on that chaos and return control to the reader, is a powerful one.

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 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!

Much of the defense material is too generic. The layers of defense, the principle of funneling, light discipline and noise discipline all apply equally well to a suburban house and to a rural farmhouse. Where the material is generic is in the ‘who’ you are defending against. All of the material is written as if one is constantly motivated, armed and very hostile against others. For natural disasters, your threat can be water, disease or starvation and these all require skills that are not developed here in great detail. So while the material is generic in terms of geography, it is highly specific in terms of threat modeling.

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”.

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.

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.
