Free reading & supporters
Every novel is free to read up to its latest chapters — and the first 100 chapters are always free. Only the most recent ~30% of each novel is reserved for supporters — read them with any active subscription, or unlock individual chapters for 1 token each. Subscriptions also remove ads and include discounted EPUB downloads.
Content & copyright
NovelCodex aggregates chapter text from publicly accessible web-novel platforms. All original content remains the property of its respective authors and publishers. If you are a rights holder and want your work removed, email [email protected] and we will take it down promptly.
