Where Can I Read Tales Of Demons And Gods English Translations Online?

Lots of people point newcomers to Wuxiaworld for 'Tales of Demons and Gods'. That's where I started years ago, and it’s a solid choice—the translation is consistent and the site is reliable. But honestly, I drifted away from it after a few hundred chapters. The story kind of plateaus, and the translation pace felt glacial at times. I switched over to NovelUpdates, which isn’t a host itself but acts as a fantastic hub. Their page for the novel lists all the fan translation groups that picked it up over the years, with direct links. You can see which site has the most recent update at a glance.

Some of those aggregator sites that pop up in searches have terrible formatting and intrusive ads, but a few are surprisingly clean. I ended up reading a big chunk on one called LightNovelHeaven because their mobile page was less cluttered than others. It’s a bit of a gamble, though; you have to be ready to close a few pop-up windows. My advice is to use Wuxiaworld for the official feel, but don’t hesitate to follow the trail on NovelUpdates if you get impatient or want to see different translation styles for certain arcs.

I’ll be the contrarian here and say you might be better off just buying the official ebook versions on Amazon or Google Play. I know, I know—free is tempting. But the fan translations for this one are a real mixed bag. I’ve seen some where the prose is so clunky it ruins the flow, and others where whole paragraphs seem to be missing. The official translation, while not perfect, has proper editing and is complete. It’s not that expensive, and you’re supporting the actual author, Mad Snail, which is important considering the whole hiatus controversy. If you’re dead set on reading online for free, your only real consistent option is Wuxiaworld’s version, but be prepared for it to potentially be abandoned like the original novel.

Funny, I was just looking into this yesterday! The landscape has shifted. Wuxiaworld hosts it, but I’ve heard rumors their license might have lapsed? The chapter updates became super sporadic on the main site. I found a Telegram bot that pushes new chapters from various sources; that’s how I’ve been keeping up lately. You just search for the novel name + ‘bot’ and you’ll probably find it. It’s not the most elegant solution, but it aggregates links from smaller translation blogs and sites I never would have found on my own. Some of those smaller blogs have surprisingly thoughtful translators who add notes about cultural references, which is a nice touch for a xianxia story like this one. Just be prepared for a very disjointed reading experience if you hop between sources.

Check out Wuxiaworld.com. It’s the main authorized site for the English translation. The reading interface is clean, they have a good mobile app, and the translation quality is generally high. It’s the most straightforward place to start. After that, if you want to compare, NovelUpdates has a community page listing other sources, but Wuxiaworld is your primary hub.
