The Kindle version had terrible formatting on my old Paperwhite. The web images were missing, and the custom text formatting I had done for time-skips was rendered as messy code. I had to request a refund, and even though it may have been fixed by now, it left a very bad taste in my mouth. In the meantime, reading it on Royal Road, in the browser, worked like a charm. Some stories are just web-native and work better that way, I suppose.

In thematic terms, the ending of Moon meets and resolves the issue of nature vs. nurture. Pap provided Moon with nature – that is, he taught Moon raw survival skills and taught him to love the natural world. Hal has provided Moon with nurture – i.e., protection, guidance and affection. Thus Moon’s ending is a hybrid of both nature and nurture. He has the means to return to the natural world of his father on Hal’s property, and he has Hal himself to look after him. This ending is a culmination of Moon’s growth as a character. At the beginning of the book he was a young boy who was completely under the thumbs of his father’s extreme ‘nature’-oriented philosophy. By the end, however, he is a more mature young man who has learned to accept the element of nurture provided by Hal without being deflected from his own natural progress. It is a highly mature ending to a middle-grade novel, one which avoids the easy binary solution of saying that either nature or nurture is sufficient, and instead chooses a more adult, more healthy, more holistic route.

China Literature has an international platform, Webnovel, which would be the official way to get this novel translated. However, as I can see from their enormous catalog, they are only interested in titles that are currently trending. Unless a novel gets a boost from an adaptation, it will not get translated. So de facto it is a grey area of fan sites. Many other pre-2015 webnovels are in the same situation.

I wouldn't trust any site that offers a full free copy of a book. These sites are typically infested with malware, offer terrible machine translations that ruin the story, and are missing huge chunks of text. It’s just not worth the risk to your computer.

It’s not exactly Happy but it’s cautiously optimistic with a dash of horror. Mitsuki took her first step towards her dream in Vol. 1 and as for the story of the shinigami, for now it seems to be a detour from her path. First of all, her talent is raw and she earned her spot at the audition but straight after that Takuto warns her that if she interferes with the fates of humans then she’ll have to face the consequences. This is contrasted with her happiness of finally being able to sing her song and it’s a fragile victory. We see her coughing up blood a few chapters before this. Of course, this volume wasn’t going to be all sugarcoated for Mitsuki’s sake. Tanemura-sensei reminds us of the price she has to pay time and again. And the ending has us rooted to the spot feeling happy yet worried at the same time.

It's frustrating, really. So much potential for access in this digital era, but instead we have paywalls, subscription services, and exclusivity deals. So for one specific book, you have very few free options, dependent as they are on the author(s) and publisher having chosen a 'wide' distribution or an 'exclusive' deal. Then you have to figure out which it is.
When checking if a book is available for free, it is often helpful to determine if it’s been made available as part of an exclusive deal or if it’s been released as a wide distribution title. If it’s an exclusive KU title, your options for reading said book for free outside of a trial will be slim to none. Wide distribution books, however, can be found in libraries or made available for free through other subscription services or store front sales. To help, check the Amazon page of the book in question to see if it notes that you can “Read for Free with Kindle Unlimited.” If it does, then you know that book is an exclusive KU title and you can focus your efforts elsewhere.

As others have mentioned, plenty of practical advice is provided for those curious about GoodNovel. But that’s all for later. Go to GoodNovel.com, search for the title you are interested in, and start reading. The beginning of the story is often the best part, because it’s a new world, with new characters and full of unexpected surprises. In order to reach that point where you care about the story and characters, one has to enter the story first. All the advice about where to read a story in serial format can spoil the magic of entering a new world. Just click on “Read” first to see where it takes you.

Even the comment sections for the official chapters of a book on an app can be quite entertaining. Readers live-react, argue over the main characters’ love interests, and try to predict what will happen next. Because a book like this includes a love triangle (or more), the comment sections can become quite a battle. Of course, reading a book on an app like GoodNovel is a lot different from reading a static PDF or a fan-made blog. It makes reading less of a solitary activity and, for good or ill, more of a community experience.

I have a feeling that the name of this comic will eventually come to me as I scroll through the latest chapters on Tapas or Radish (which have a mix of free and paid episodes – usually the first few chapters are free to read, and then you have to wait for daily passes or pay to continue reading). The mobile reading experience is actually pretty smooth, even if the monetization models are slightly game-ified.

I get free legal thrillers from BookBub – many free books are offered on a daily basis. Occasionally a publisher such as Tor will make an eBook free to download for a period of time. Open Library at Archive.org is also a good source of free eBooks – you create an account and then borrow books. This is all to be done within the bounds of the authorized distribution of the copyrighted work.
