Where To Read 'Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken' Web Novel Legally?

I've been obsessed with 'Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken' since its early days. The easiest legal way to read it is through the official publisher's website, where they have both Japanese and English versions available for purchase. Shousetsuka ni Narou originally hosted the web novel, but now it’s officially licensed by Micro Magazine. You can buy digital volumes from platforms like Amazon Kindle or BookWalker, which often have discounts for new readers. Some chapters are also available on J-Novel Club’s subscription service, though they rotate content. If you prefer physical copies, check Right Stuf Anime for imports. Supporting the author legally ensures we get more amazing content like this.

As someone who’s followed the series through multiple platforms, I can break down the best legal options. The original web novel was on Shousetsuka ni Narou, but the polished version moved to Micro Magazine’s official site. For English readers, J-Novel Club offers a subscription model with early access to chapters—their translations are top-notch and include bonus content like author interviews.

If you want permanent copies, BookWalker is my go-to. They have frequent sales and a great app for reading on the go. Kobo and Google Play Books also stock the series, though their pricing varies by region. Physical collectors should look at Kinokuniya for Japanese imports or wait for Seven Seas Entertainment’s English release. The light novel adaptation expands the web novel’s lore significantly, so I recommend grabbing both.

Avoid aggregator sites—they often have poor translations and don’t support the creators. The official routes might cost a bit, but the quality and extras (like character art and side stories) make it worth every penny.

For fellow slime enthusiasts, here’s the scoop: the web novel’s legal home is Micro Magazine’s site, but it’s Japanese-only. English fans have options. J-Novel Club’s subscription gives you early chapters plus forum discussions with other fans. I love their community vibe—it’s like a book club for isekai junkies.

If subscriptions aren’t your thing, buy individual volumes on Amazon or BookWalker. The latter has exclusive digital bonuses like wallpapers. Local libraries sometimes carry the light novel version via OverDrive—check their catalog. For those learning Japanese, BookLive! sells raw versions with crisp formatting.

A pro tip: follow the author’s Twitter for updates on special editions. Last year, they released a bundle with extra chapters about Rimuru’s demon lord evolution. Legal reads might take patience, but they fuel the industry that gives us gems like this series.
