I mostly read on my Kindle Paperwhite. The formatting for the official e-books is flawless—no weird line breaks, consistent chapter links, and the illustrations are placed correctly. It's a small thing, but it makes the reading experience smooth. After dealing with poorly formatted fan EPUBs in the past, this is a huge quality-of-life upgrade. For a series like this, where you might want to flip back to check a skill description or a character name, having a properly linked table of contents is a godsend. The four volumes are all up to this standard. It's the difference between reading a professionally published book and reading a document.

I'm just sitting here refreshing the page, hoping someone has a magic link to a free, legal, ad-free, high-quality source that also delivers pizza. We all know that's not happening. Legit reading means using the licensed apps, which involve either watching ads, paying per chapter, or buying volumes. That's just the reality of supporting the medium we enjoy so much. It's a small price to pay to ensure the artist and writer can keep creating.

The manga is currently my favorite way to experience it. The artist captures the protagonist's deadpan cynicism perfectly in his facial expressions.
As for order, the manga hasn't deviated from the core plot beats of the early light novel volumes. So you can read the available manga chapters confidently. Once you catch up, you can seek out the corresponding light novel volume (if translated) or the web novel arc to continue.
The transition is pretty seamless. The manga ends on a cliffhanger that directly leads into the next major novel arc, so you'll be motivated to make the jump to text.

If you're looking for chapter 117 specifically, official sources are your first stop. The official English translation is serialized on a few platforms. I'd check the Yen Press website or their affiliated apps first, as they hold the license. New chapters usually drop there on a set schedule, though sometimes there's a slight delay from the Japanese release.
If it's not up on the official sites yet, fan translation groups might have picked it up. Search for 'Bungou Stray Dogs' along with 'scanlation' on typical manga aggregator sites—the ones that pop up first in search results often have it. Be prepared for some variable quality in the typesetting, though. The fan groups work fast, but the official translation tends to be more polished and supports the creators directly.
Honestly, I refresh the official app a few times on release day, then grudgingly check a fan site if I'm too impatient. The wait can be agonizing, especially after that cliffhanger in 116.

I've seen it pop up on sites like 'Read Light Novels dot com' or similar. Those are 100% aggregators of stolen content. They're illegal, often full of intrusive ads, and don't support creators. I'd avoid them like the plague. They give the whole fan translation community a bad name. Some dedicated fan translators actually ask readers not to use those sites because they rip the work from the translator's own blog without consent. It's a double theft.

Translation quality is a major factor for enjoyment. The early fan translations can be clunky, with awkward phrasing and inconsistent naming. If that pulls you out of the story, the official version on 'Divine Dao Library' is worth considering for its polish.
However, many readers find the fan translation's quirks endearing—it's part of the classic web novel experience. Try reading a few chapters from both sources and see which style you prefer before committing to one.

Man, I totally get the hunt for free reads—been there with so many light novels! 'My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s' is such a gem, but finding legit free copies can be tricky. Officially, you might snag a preview on sites like BookWalker or Amazon’s Kindle sample feature, but full volumes? Not so much. Some fan translations pop up on aggregator sites, but those are shaky ethically and often vanish. I’d honestly recommend supporting the official release if you can; it keeps the industry alive and ensures more volumes get translated. Plus, libraries sometimes carry digital copies through apps like Hoopla!
If you’re dead-set on free options, keep an eye out for publisher promotions—Kodansha or Yen Press occasionally do free first-volume giveaways during events. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game for used copies or sales. The series is worth the patience, though—that twisty dynamic between the assassin and hero? Chef’s kiss.
