Honestly, your only real legal option is buying the compiled volume. The serialized chapter model you see on some web novel platforms doesn't apply to the official English light novel release. Yen Press bundles it. Searching for "chapter 220" by itself will mostly lead you to fan translation sites or aggregators, which are, you know, not exactly above board. I've used them in the past when I was impatient, but the official translation is higher quality and properly edited. Check Yen Press's website for a volume breakdown; they usually list what chapters are included in each book. It's a bit of an investment, but the series is complete, so you can binge the whole thing.

I ran into this same wall last week when I was desperate to see how the final confrontation wrapped up. The official English publisher for the 'Solo Leveling' light novel is Yen Press, and they sell both physical volumes and digital editions through retailers like Amazon Kindle, Google Play Books, and Apple Books.
Here's the catch, though: the light novel is licensed and published in volume format, not as individual chapters online. So you won't find a specific legal site hosting chapter 220 by itself. You'd need to purchase the specific volume that contains it—likely Volume 8 or 9, depending on their layout—from one of those official storefronts. I bought the whole series digitally as it came out, so for me it's just a matter of opening the app. I get why people hunt for single chapters, but supporting the official release is what got us the gorgeous hardcovers and the anime adaptation in the first place.

This is a constant point of confusion. The Korean web novel 'Only I Level Up' was serialized online in Korean on KakaoPage. The 'Solo Leveling' light novel is the officially translated and repackaged version of that story for the English market. So the original, legal, per-chapter reading experience was on that Korean platform, in Korean. For English, the license holders (Yen Press) decided on a volume-based model. There is no legal, free, per-chapter English equivalent. Your legal avenues are purchasing the e-book volumes from mainstream retailers or the physical books. Libraries sometimes carry them too, either physical copies or via digital lending apps like Libby. It's not the instant gratification of a chapter drop, but it's the correct way to read it.

Check if your local library uses Hoopla or OverDrive. Mine had all the e-book volumes available to borrow digitally. No cost, completely legal. If they don't, the Kindle or Google Play Books purchase is your best bet. Just search 'Solo Leveling light novel' and look for the Yen Press publisher tag to avoid imitations.

When the apocalypse came, she lost everything. Starving, hunted, and desperate, she trusted the one man she loved… only for him to betray her in the cruelest way possible. He stole her last supplies to please another woman and left her to die in a sea of the undead.
But death wasn’t the end.
She woke up days before the world collapsed.
After cutting ties with her ungrateful ex and his parasitic family, a mysterious voice awakens in her mind, LUS, a Level-Up System designed to help her survive the coming end.
With knowledge of the future and a system guiding her every move, she begins to prepare. She stockpiles resources, builds a base, and learns how to fight back against the horrors that once destroyed her.
And when the apocalypse arrives again… she’s ready. But survival isn’t the only thing waiting for her in this new life.
A silent killer who watches her like prey.
A manipulative genius who wants to unravel her secrets.
A gentle protector who sees the girl she hides.
And a dangerous man who thrives in chaos.
As the world burns and power shifts, they’re all drawn to her, each with their own motives, each with their own darkness. Even her past refuses to stay buried.
Because now, the man who once abandoned her is back, broken, desperate, and begging for a second chance. Too bad she has no time for regrets.
Not when she’s busy rising to power… and building a kingdom in the ruins of the world.
Set after the war between the Dragon Emperor and the Blood Emperor, in which the two emperors united to protect all realms and the underworld. In a small world where no immortal beings dwell, a married couple lives with their only son.
That life of happiness came to an end with the destruction of their village and the deaths of its inhabitants. The child, having lost his parents, tries to find traces of them, who disappeared when the village was destroyed. The further he walks down the path of cultivation, the more he realizes that he has actually been trapped in a difficult fate. Will he be able to walk that path? Or will he end up losing his own life? This is the story of a young man named Tian Sen, who walks a bloody path to discover who he is and where his parents are. But he must become stronger to reach a point where even fate itself cannot control him.
“Why? Why don’t they care about people like us? Why? I, Tian Sen, will not accept any of this. I will walk toward the summit even if my hands are drenched in blood. Loneliness will not let me be swayed by the nonsense called fate!”
My friend and I transmigrated into a melodramatic novel about a wealthy family. When the mission ended, I chose to leave.
He fell for the obsessive female lead and chose to stay with her.
Eight years later, the system told me that she had locked him in a mental hospital, and he had only three days left to live.
When I rushed to him, he was tied to the bed. His eyes were dull, and he kept repeating my name.
His crush, Sterling Group's CEO, was planning a grand wedding with the man she truly loved.
I looked at my friend’s hands. They had once played the piano with grace. This time, they were covered in countless needle marks.
“You came, I knew you would...”
He mustered the last of his strength to look at me. “I was a fool. I thought staying by her side was the truest form of my love for her.
“I never realized I was only a stepping stone in her path.
“Take me home. I don’t want to die here...”
A thirty-year-old office lady, who got into an accident and is now trapped inside a novel series she loves. She was reincarnated into one of the side character extras of the story and meets in person the tyrant magician, the playboy prince, and the clueless female lead of the story.
which is the primary publisher for the web novel. Chapter 166 should be part of their catalog. You purchase chapters with coins or read through a subscription pass, which I find pretty straightforward for keeping up week-to-week.
Sometimes there's a slight delay compared to fan translations that pop up instantly, but the quality is consistent and it directly supports the creators. I just checked my app, and their chapter numbering aligns perfectly, so searching 'Solo Leveling 166' there should pull it right up.
