The official platforms like YONDER and Webnovel are legally releasing it, but they're only around chapter 130-ish as of now. Chapter 240 is way ahead in the story. For that, you'd need to find the older fan translations, which aren't on official channels. A lot of those old sites are gone or buried. I found a Reddit thread from a couple years ago that had a mega link to the full fan-translated novel, but I'm not sure if it's still active. It's a real gap between what's officially available and what fans actually want to read.
Yeah, the legal options are super limited for specific chapters that high up. The official English translation is a slow roll-out, so you won't find 240 on Webnovel. I checked YONDER too, and it's the same story—barely past the double dungeon.
It's frustrating because you just want to see what happens next with the Monarchs. I get why they're doing it properly, but the wait is agonizing. Your best hope is that some of those aggregator sites that host the old fan translations haven't been fully taken down yet, but I wouldn't call that 'legal' by any stretch. You might have better luck looking for downloadable EPUB files from the old translation teams' archives, which feels a bit less sketchy than the ad-heavy sites.
I finally caved and read summaries on the wiki to get the gist, then circled back when the official catch-up happened.
Man, I feel this pain. The hunt for chapter 240 specifically can be a real trip. The official English release for the novel is way behind that point; they're only just getting to the first few arcs on platforms like Webnovel and YONDER. What you're looking for is the fan translation from years ago, which is technically not legal.
Your only real 'legal' path to that exact content is to read the official Korean version on KakaoPage if you know the language. Otherwise, you're stuck in a gray area. Most people I know just search for 'Solo Leveling Chapter 240 Readlightnovel' or similar and take their chances with the ad-ridden fan sites. It's not ideal, but it's the only way to get that far into the story right now. I really wish the official publishers would speed things up, because the Jeju Island arc around there is wild.
Honestly, I ended up just reading the manhwa version for that part of the story again while waiting.

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!”
On my twentieth birthday, I had to choose a husband before all of Olympus.
Everyone thought I would choose Apollo Olympion, the radiant heir of the sun god and the man I had loved for years.
In my last life, I did.
Because of me, he gained Zeus’s favor, sacred estates, and the right to rise above every divine heir.
But after our marriage, he gave his sunlight to Celeste, the dying flower nymph my mother had taken in. When Demeter drove her away, Apollo blamed me. From then on, he hated me.
He humiliated me, broke me, and finally let my sacred medicine become slow poison.
I died carrying his child, on the night the spring inside me withered.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on my twentieth birthday.
This time, I let them have each other.
So before Zeus and every god in the Golden Hall, I chose Cassian Hadeion, the last blood of Hades.
The cursed underworld prince everyone mocked.
Apollo sneered. “Choosing him just to make me jealous?”
I ignored him. Because in my last life, after I died, Cassian was the only one who avenged me.
Then Apollo stepped closer and whispered,
“Funny. That wasn’t who you chose last time.”
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...”
I just went through the whole 'trying to find the latest 'Solo Leveling' novel chapters' adventure myself. For chapter 165, you're looking at a bit of a digital hunt because, honestly, the authorized English translation landscape for the novel has been a bit fragmented. The main legitimate source I know of for the novel is Tappytoon, which was publishing it. However, they were serializing it, and sometimes these platforms take their time catching up to specific chapter numbers, or they might reorganize how they list them in volumes versus individual chapters. The best thing to do is head directly to Tappytoon's website or app and search for 'Solo Leveling'. You'll see if they have it available as part of their catalogue; sometimes they sell it in volume bundles rather than individual chapter listings, so you might need to figure out which volume contains chapter 165.
If it's not immediately showing up there, another route is checking the original Korean publisher's partners. The web novel originally came from KakaoPage. While the primary site is in Korean, they do sometimes license their content to the English platforms mentioned. It's a bit of a waiting game for official translations to hit the exact chapter you want, especially for a story that's already concluded and has an anime out. I remember scrolling through the Tappytoon app, hoping to find that specific climactic moment from the later arcs. My advice is to just dive into their library directly – that's your safest and most straightforward legal bet to support the creators and get a quality translation.
