It was fine I guess. Another rejected mate trope with extra steps. It's on most of the web novel sites. The revenge part was sort of cool, but after that it just kind of kept going on and on. The male lead's redemption arc just didn't feel earned to me. I read it on NovelCat because they had a promotion for free coins to use on the site. The site's interface is kind of clunky, but it worked. It's a sort of "meh" read - it was sort of good, I guess, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There are just so many better written stories in this genre right now. If you're new to this genre, I'd recommend reading one of the more iconic ones to get a feel for it first. This one's pretty forgettable after you're done reading it. It's not going to change your life or anything.

Awaiting an official translation for this very niche series – potentially picked up by a smaller digital publisher. So far it’s been in the wild west of fan translations. I check Mangaupdates every now and then to see if anyone has taken it on. The page for the manga lists out all known reading sources (legit & otherwise) so for the time being it’s a good page to check for the manga not on Manga Plus or Viz etc.

Library Genesis (libgen.is) occasionally carries really off the wall romantic novels such as this. You might also be able to find it on Amazon in Kindle Unlimited under a slightly different title. The ‘contract marriage’ and ‘secret twin’ are sort of genre tropes and fairly frequent. I’ve had a few fan translators DM me on Twitter to share private drive links to their translations of these sort of novels. (I don’t recommend, however. It’s sort of like treasure hunting – rarely worth the trouble.)

Free access to novels by authors can often be found on their Patreon accounts or their websites as they often put up the first chapter or two for free. Archived versions of a site that has been taken down from the web can be found using services like the Wayback Machine. Facebook groups for readers of books can sometimes exchange links to free novels, but be sure to check that it is legal to share the book first. Last but not least, forums for fans of a book and threads on sites like Tumblr are often created by people who have scanned in the book for free and will upload them for others to read for free, as long as it is done in an entirely legal and ethical manner. Enjoy!

I've noticed my sister has been getting through a lot of these novels lately. Her favorite is 'His Rejected Mate's Revenge Astrid' which she reads on an app called Readict. I'd never heard of it before but there are loads of these niche reading apps that offer exclusive licenses to books. They’re kind of like the streaming services for books. I’ve had to search for the title of the books my sister wants to read in the app stores and then search for the app in the results, with the app’s icon appearing as one of the search results. Reading the app’s reviews before you download it is a good idea as some of them are very buggy and can even use up a lot of battery. If the book you want to read is on the app exclusively then you have no choice but to download it and add another icon to your home screen. Sigh.

You could check if the author has a Patreon or a personal website where you can read early chapters, bonus chapters, etc. I follow a few web novel authors who have moved their work to subscription services like Ream or even host it on their own website to get a bigger cut than on the big apps.
You might find the author’s personal website or Patreon, with early access or additional content for paying supporters – a lot of web novel authors have moved to such subscription-based platforms or even set up their own sites to get better pay. (The major platforms take way too much, hence many creators are looking for alternatives.)

Weird question, but have you checked out the audiobook on YouTube for this novel? There are actually a lot of channels on YouTube that do this for web novels, by making an audiobook with text-to-speech software and even adding a slideshow of the text. I know it doesn’t exactly sound good, but I actually really enjoy listening to these as audiobooks for web novels, because they’re free and you can search for the title of the novel and then “audiobook” or “full story”. It’s a good way to listen to a long novel while doing chores or something, because you don’t have to actually sit down and read the whole thing, and you get the full plot.

This earns the author of Radish some money even if you are reading with free passes, through ad views for instance. But if you are reading with coins, then the author earns even more directly than that. This means that even if you are ‘reading for free’ with your timed passes, you are helping to pay for the author’s work. Which is grand.
This changes how I feel about the timed reads though. If I’m going to read anyway, I might as well support the author and I’ll do this slowly over time – I’ll log into the app every day or so to read the next couple of chapters, watch any ads that offer additional passes, and so on. For ‘Awakening Love’ this actually worked quite well for me, reading it at a slow burn that matched the development of the romance – I didn’t even really notice the timed reads after a while.

I have checked a few of my normal haunts for this and it seems Yonder have it locked down tight. The best way to read this as a legal download would be to sign up for their in-app model and purchase a daily pass to read it. All other claims to download the full novel as a cheaper option are scams. The story is very hot right now, with two possessive twin anti-heroes, so I’d recommend signing up for the app for a bargainous binge read.

Are there other people out there feeling like we're drowning in a sea of web fiction apps, and each time someone new is suggested for reading a particular story, we just roll our eyes and say "Ugh, not another app for reading stories"... Webnovel, Radish, Kindle, AO3 are the four apps that I'm currently using for reading stories online, and I really don't want another app to be added to that list to consume even more of my battery and to send me even more notifications. I wish web fiction was more like it used to be and we could just go to a single website and read a particular story there. But as it is now, web fiction is pretty Balkanized. My answer to "Where can I read that?" is usually, "I don't know, and I'm not downloading another app to find out."
I'd just read something else on that platform. There's plenty of other content. Apps prey on the fear that you're missing out on a particular story, and sometimes you just have to let it go and discover something new in your existing library of content.
