Effective October 2, 2026.
1. What this site is
This site publishes light novels and web novels in English: fan translations of stories written in other languages, and original stories posted by their own authors. A translated story, its characters, and its illustrations belong to their original author, illustrator, and publisher; the translations here are unofficial, derivative works, and we claim no ownership of the source material and no affiliation with its rights holders. An original story belongs to the author who posts it.
2. About paid features, honestly
Reading here is free at its core, and some chapters carry an unlock price in Spirit Stones, posted on the seal and set by the book’s creators; readers may also choose to donate. That money supports the people who make each book — its translators or author, and its editors — at the posted revenue share. For a translation, it pays for the work of translating, never for the original work itself.
3. For rights holders
If you hold rights to a work published here and want it removed, write through the contact page with the work, your claim, and proof of rights. Valid requests are honored promptly: the work comes down, and Stones readers spent on it within the posted refund window are returned to their balances, as promised in our Terms.
4. Support the official releases
If a translated story earns your heart, buy the original. Official purchase links, where available, are posted on each work’s own page. Nothing supports an author like a sale.
5. No warranties
Every book here is human work and may contain errors (readers can flag them with the “suggest a fix” tool in every chapter). The site is provided as-is; we cannot promise uninterrupted service.
