Many of MotoNovel’s original works were first posted for free by their authors on Webnovel platforms such as Royal Road or Scribble Hub. These early versions of MotoNovel-licensed works are written in a more raw style and provide insight into the development of the story as it was written by the author. Reading the free works on these platforms is also a great way to find out about new authors who could be licensed by MotoNovel in the future. The comments section for free works also provides community interaction that is not available through the MotoNovel app.

The update schedule for a GoodNovel story is core to how people read novels online today. The bulk of stories are updated daily, many on a fixed schedule, so for example a reader might know that a favorite story is updated every night at 8pm. This creates a reading routine around the updates and habituates the reader to read GoodNovels online within their existing daily routines.
This is similar to how we experience daily newspaper comic strips or nightly TV soap operas. The comfort of knowing exactly when more of the story will be delivered even when you are reading for free with daily passes to read as much as you like, means you open up the GoodNovel app at exactly the same time every day to read the next installment of your favorite story. Habitual engagement with the platform where you read for free with daily passes to read as much as you like, to see the promotions for other stories, to sample other stories and to potentially buy them later, is far more valuable to the platform than a binge-read some time in the future.

Booktoki is a Korean web novel platform that hosts a ton of stories, but finding it for free can be tricky since official sources often require payment or ad revenue support. I’ve stumbled across a few fan-translated versions floating around on aggregator sites, but honestly, the quality can be hit or miss. Some translators do an amazing job, while others… well, let’s just say Google Translate vibes are strong. If you’re determined to read for free, checking forums like NovelUpdates might lead you to community-sourced links, but be prepared for broken pages or outdated translations.
A lot of fans also share PDFs or EPUBs on Discord servers or subreddits dedicated to Korean novels. The downside? It’s a gray area legally, and you might not get the latest chapters. Personally, I’d recommend supporting the official release if you can—some platforms like Ridibooks or Munpia offer partial free reads or trial periods. It’s a bummer when great stories don’t get proper translations because everyone’s reading pirated copies. Plus, the official versions often have better editing and consistent updates.

Pivoting slightly – have you considered audio dramas or even audio book versions of these light novels? For example, while there are hardly any light novel audio dramas available in English, many very popular Chinese and Japanese light novels have full-cast audio drama versions. Often these have been fan-subbed and uploaded to YouTube or Bilibili with subtitles, so it’s easy to find and watch for free. These are a different medium to reading the novels themselves, but all telling the same story and in some ways even better. Then there are also the many YouTube channels reading out light novel chapters – often amateur but completely free to watch, and perfect for when you’ve been reading for hours and your eyes are tired, but you still want that fix of a good story. Such videos are scattered everywhere and of very uneven quality, but there must be hundreds of thousands of them out there.

I was just here searching for something. I have a reading list a mile long already, but I wanted to see where this thread went.

Linking you to the pit of endless fandom. Webnovel and Bilibili Comics have huge library of officially licensed novels and comics which can be accessed for free by readers, using a ‘fast pass’ or ‘coin’ system, where each day a section of the novel is made available for free and then more can be read by watching ads for coins to read more chapters of the novel later. The translation is typically of a good quality and is consistent between chapters. More than some of the f Fetishised Fan Sites that readers can currently read for free on the net.
Then there are sites like Wuxiaworld and Novel Updates that have been hosting and archiving translations of Chinese novels for years, and have started forming official partnerships with authors and publishers. Their forums and lists of links to currently updating novels can be a great place to find specific titles and discover new ones, but be prepared for a potentially disjointed reading experience – because each site typically only has a selection of novels that different groups of translators have chosen to work on.

As someone who has spent countless nights diving into the world of danmei, I can share some fantastic places to read these novels for free. One of my go-to platforms is Wattpad, where you can find a mix of original danmei works and fan translations of popular titles like 'Mo Dao Zu Shi' and 'Heaven Official's Blessings.' The community is vibrant, and many translators pour their hearts into their work.
Another great option is Novel Updates, which aggregates links to fan translations across the web. It’s a treasure trove for discovering hidden gems and keeping up with ongoing translations. For those who enjoy historical danmei, sites like Chrysanthemum Garden specialize in high-quality translations of classics like 'The Husky and His White Cat Shizun.' Just remember to support the authors if you can by purchasing official releases later!

I found this on Reddit (unexpected source of books for me). r/FreeEBOOKS is a constantly updating list of free Amazon books and others. I follow that subreddit and every now and then I download a book that catches my eye when it shows up at the top of my feed. It’s a firehose of content, but there are a lot of great books in there, too. I now have hundreds of books on my Kindle that I never would have found on my own.

Just reading the recommendations. This term “projection novel” is new to me, but I do like BL+sci-fi/fantasy. Following this thread for ideas.

Honestly I just bounce between a few sites depending on the novel. If the MTL is too rough, I usually give up and look for a fan translation instead.
