I also love BookBub as they often include romance eBooks in their daily deals and I can even find some free ones for a limited time. Most of them are Kindle eBooks so you will need a Kindle or a free Kindle app.
If you want something different again then Tapas (which is read chapter by chapter rather like a comic and can be read online for free in bite sized chunks) has a number of romantic comics and stories. Also Amazon Kindle free section has, for me, been a source of some very good self-published romances (yes really!).

You can often find free libraries or access to e-books in English at cultural institutes or embassages. More often, classics are promoted through reading, but recently, there are also modern YA novels included in the collections, often because they were made into a movie and promote cross-cultural understanding in a positive way. This is a very long shot and very location specific, but in big, cosmopolitan cities, such programs exist. I’d have to go to a cultural center or look up an obscure website. But reading an American YA novel in a free library of a French institute or a British council library is quite an amusing idea. It would add an international touch to the extremely American world of Lara Jean Covey.

Inter-library loan may be able to get the books for you if the library has them within the country. It’s a slow process but it’s free and it’s legal. Many people don’t know that even books that are not in print can be found within large city libraries and university libraries within the country. As the books are in print in the language you need, this could be an old solution to your digital problem. It will take a few weeks, but it’s guaranteed to get you the series you want to read and it’s supporting the libraries too. Thought I’d mention it as it’s an option for those that are happy to wait a few weeks.

I don’t want to be a budget police person, but it’s generally accepted that “free” for a full length work means a pirated copy. This is a bit of an ethical conundrum. If the work is very new, the author and publisher are trying to earn a living from it. You might check with your local library to see if they have a digital lending version of Hoopla or Libby, which contains a large variety of books, including many surprises. But if you can’t get it that way, then the “high seas” of pirated copies are out there. And yes, there is a lot of pain (and even more malware) in trying to navigate these sites in order to read a single work before you buy the whole series.

Honestly, searching for more of this author’s work, or similar stories to ‘Freeuse Family’ (which is quite old and thus shows in its writing), would probably be better done searching for it on legitimate platforms to host such content. I’d recommend checking out Scribble Hub and Archive of Our Own. The two sites are chock-full of stories with similar tags and themes, with vastly superior writing and even more updates. The current ‘free use’ tropes are all done much better by the current batch of serials on these sites, and you can find plenty of other ‘free use’ and ‘slice of life’ type stories by filtering the results for each. The communities for both sites are also very active and can lead you to all sorts of hidden gems, many of which are also updates regularly.

HALLELUJAH, the classic question of webcomics everywhere. I literally looked for a comic with that title years ago. Now, most of the big aggregator sites where that comic would have been hosted have had it taken down and links are no longer functional, often with poor quality scans uploaded in their place. I recommend just going with the officially sanctioned slow paced reading experience. Lezhin offers free coins daily just for opening the app and watching a short ad, which can be gradually saved up over a couple weeks to purchase a volume of your choice. It’s a bit of a daily grind, but reading can be framed as a little daily quest. And in the meantime, you can read the free preview chapters to get a sense for whether or not you even like the art and the interactions between the main characters Dojin and Hyesung.

The hate-read is a psychological phenomenon that is crucial to this scenario. Many clicks and comments come from individuals who detest a work that is marketed in a certain way. However, this is exactly what curiosities to read in order to fuel their hate. So, the more negatively a work is received by an author, the more it will be read by those who abhor it, and thus, be more popular. It’s a very unhealthy dynamic because many of the most vocal haters are also some of the most devoted readers. The way in which success is measured for a work of fiction controversy includes the negative reviews from those who abhor a story and thus the author has an incentive to actually incite a hate-read in order to gain more popularity and to encourage more of the very kind of reaction that they despise. The line between loathing and hatred and fair criticism and morbid fascination is blurred.

‘Don’t Call Me Stepmom’ is a modern take on the classic villainess reincarnation story, currently serializing on Tapas. It was initially released under the title of ‘Don’t Call Me Stepmom’ and is now a popular comic adaptation on the platform. On Tapas, chapters are made available for premium readers using coins, but each day there are also a number of free unlocks available. The official translation is very fast and the artwork is also great at portraying the elegant but suffering main character. Updates for the comic are generally fairly consistent, although I sometimes find out what happens next by reading spoiler-filled novel summaries on certain forums online. Reading it legally on the Tapas app or website is always your best bet – occasionally Tapas runs events in which you can earn free coins by logging in or reading other comics.
Some libraries now offer digital Tapas through services like Hoopla – check your local library to see if they offer it for free with your library card!

In trying every free thing on the planet, I finally settled on what to me is the most effortless of them all: following the author or publisher of a novel on their various social media sites. You’d be surprised how frequently they hold a giveaway for 500 coins or so for a single retweet, or, write a comment on the announcement for that publisher’s favorite tropes, with said novels then being given away to three random commenters. Note that these are legitimate ways to gain free access to novels to read, and, rather than trying to find some Byzantine method of regaining money that you spent to read a book, you get to read said book, too.
Set up notifications for the author's Twitter or Facebook page. Follow the page and turn on post notifications for a week. Engage with the page's content for a week and see how often the author gives away free access to their backlist in order to gain engagement for their current work. It's a bit of work but way more fun than watching 100 ads.

The Google Play Books store contains a huge amount of self-published works. Many of the Indie books are listed, and you can even read a free sample before you buy to get a feel for how good the writing and translation are. The Google Play Books app is also pretty good for reading on the go.
