About this app

Read web novels and light novels offline — anywhere, anytime. Paste any novel link, download every chapter, and start reading. No account, no paywall to begin.

ArcReader is the offline-first web novel reader and light novel reader for Royal Road, NovelFull, AllNovel, and dozens more sources. Bring your own link and we handle the rest — progression fantasy, xianxia, cultivation, LitRPG, isekai, romance, or any English web novel and light novel.

Loved by readers switching from Wattpad, WebNovel, and light novel reader apps like LNReader for a quieter, faster, offline novel reading app.

WEB NOVEL & LIGHT NOVEL READER BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS
Pick from four themes (Light, Dark, Sepia, Black AMOLED). Adjust font size, line spacing, font family, and margins. Switch between paginated mode with page-turn animation or smooth continuous scroll — a clean novel reader made for readers.

TURN ANY NOVEL INTO AN AUDIOBOOK
Built-in neural text-to-speech (TTS) turns any web novel or light novel into an audiobook — running entirely on your device. No internet, no data cost, no monthly fee for the core feature. Adjustable speed 0.75x–2x, lock-screen controls, sleep timer, and auto-advance between chapters. Listen to novels hands-free anywhere.

OFFLINE-FIRST READING
Downloaded novels stay on your device in a real local library — not a temporary cache. Read offline on flights, in tunnels, on the subway, or anywhere with no signal.

IMPORT YOUR OWN EPUB FILES
ArcReader isn't only for web novels. Import any EPUB from your device and read it with the same themes, fonts, and text-to-speech — a clean EPUB reader for the ebooks you already own.

- Translate long passages, not just single words — whole paragraphs in your language, right on the page.
- Tap any word for an instant dictionary definition.
- Save new words and review them with a built-in vocabulary mini-game.

Ratings and reviews

App made by a novel reader for novel readers. The dev is super receptive to requests and suggestions and the app's development is absolutely amazing. Everything is free thanks to ads and the ads aren't even much. I kinda get surprised every time I see them because I'll listen to so many chapters and only then get an ad. I love everything about this app☺️👍

Finally found my perfect novel app! After trying several similar novel reading apps, I finally found one that has all the features I want. It's smooth and responsive, with clean UI. It also has a great tts with auto scrolling and auto chapter progression, the ability to search for pretty much any novel from my preferred websites, and no invasive ads. All of this for free. If you're looking for something similar to me, then I highly recommend!

This is an incredible app. What's more, it's new, which makes me excited for future updates. The amount of material available for minimal cost is unbelievable. The infinite scroll works well; while I sprung for a subscription, getting coins is easy. I appreciate the flexibility of streamreading or downloading content. I use a screen reader, the prompt response I received for my feedback made me feel as if what I said made a difference. I really hope this app stays around a while.
