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.

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 because something’s on Wattpad doesn’t mean it’s any good (although, it’s worth noting). Quality can be a bit of a gamble, but then again, that’s all part of the fun. If you want to increase your chances of discovering a great story, see if it’s been shared on book Twitter or BookTok. Look for praise in a story on Reddit – there are even whole subreddits dedicated to discussing Romace Books and Fantasy, such as r/RomanceBooks and r/Fantasy. I use these sites to look for Wattpad recommendations, and usually when I find a story I love that has been recommended on one of these sites, it’s on Wattpad too – and it’s free. Often the best stories on the site are connect to the more critical fandom spaces on the web, such as the offline fanbase of lynnrivers’ ‘The Do-Over’ (a free Wattpad novel).

For free Asian web novels, translation quality reads a million times better than garbage. High-quality translations of original works of fiction (even “free” ones like those found on Wuxiaworld or Volare, for instance) far outstrip heaps of locally-hosted “aggregated” copy—all “translated” via some half-baked program of semi-automated re-pulsing via interpolation of works from paying translation groups. Take the time to click on to the original translators and their providers—huge differences between extremely readable original translated chapters and mangled stuff “summarized” for your reading “convenience” by web novel “aggregators”.

I kind of miss the old web. Most personal websites used to have a 'Links' page with other websites containing lots of free novels and stories etc. That was very good for discovery. Today's SEO optimized search results don't really help in that regard. Maybe webrings again?

There are lots of free websites where you can read books online without signing up to a website first. For classic books that are no longer copyrighted there’s the wonderful Project Gutenberg (long established) and ManyBooks (my current favorite with a great variety of free books of many different types in different formats too). For free audiobooks there’s Librivox, which features free public domain audiobooks for download, all of them read by volunteers.
On the other hand, Open Library allows users to borrow digital books, many of which can be checked out by users without an account. Additionally, Classic Shorts offers short stories and essays that users can instantly read online for free without having to sign up for anything.

The academia lit lover may find academic and literary novels released as open access by the publisher, including works supported by public funds. These are often released as PDFs directly off a publisher or author’s website. Unlike typical fiction released as open access, these titles are not promoted in the same way and thus are hidden from the general public. Yet, dense, award-winning literary fiction of the highest academic status is released for free. Unlike the numerous free titles on Amazon, these are released slowly and of high prestige.

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.

You can also use Bing Search.

I also love BookBub as they often include romance eBooks in their daily deals and I can even find some free ones for a limited time. Most of them are Kindle eBooks so you will need a Kindle or a free Kindle app.
If you want something different again then Tapas (which is read chapter by chapter rather like a comic and can be read online for free in bite sized chunks) has a number of romantic comics and stories. Also Amazon Kindle free section has, for me, been a source of some very good self-published romances (yes really!).
