I stumbled upon 'Roly Poly Egg' while browsing for quirky indie novels last winter, and it instantly grabbed my attention with its whimsical cover art. After some digging, I found it on smaller platforms like Book Depository and even saw a few copies on Etsy from independent sellers. For digital readers, it’s occasionally available on Kindle, but the paperback feels like the best way to experience its tactile charm.
If you’re into supporting local shops, I’d recommend checking niche bookstores that specialize in avant-garde or self-published works—mine had a signed copy tucked away in the ‘hidden gems’ section. The hunt for it was half the fun, honestly!
I remember chatting with a librarian who mentioned interlibrary loans as a way to borrow 'Roly Poly Egg' before committing to a purchase. It’s how I first read it—took three weeks to arrive from a university collection, but the anticipation made the surreal storyline hit even harder. For buying, indie press websites sometimes have leftover stock, though you might need to email them directly. The publisher’s defunct now, so persistence is key!
Social media saved me here—turned out the author occasionally sells leftover copies through their Instagram. Followed a rabbit hole of hashtags (#IndieNovelExchange was clutch) and snagged one before they sold out. Otherwise, EBay sellers in Japan seem to list it more often, but check descriptions carefully; some are in the original language.
Oh, this novel’s a tricky one to track down! I ended up ordering my copy through AbeBooks after striking out at mainstream retailers. The seller was based in Europe, so shipping took a while, but the vintage feel of the edition made it worth the wait. Pro tip: Set up alerts on secondhand book sites—sometimes, out-of-print titles like this pop up randomly. I also noticed a few fan communities on Discord trade leads about restocks.
Try Kinokuniya if you’re near one of their locations! Their imported literature section is massive, and I’ve spotted obscure titles there before. Failing that, eBay auctions can be a goldmine, though prices fluctuate wildly depending on demand. Mine arrived with a coffee stain on page 42, which weirdly added to its charm.

Uptil the age of 9, Roselia had lived the life every child dreamed of, a loving father, mountains of toys and dollhouses and whatever else that she desired. But her world came crashing down when her father died all of a sudden.
Then Roselia runs away from her home at the age of 12 for reasons that would haunt her forever. She gets on a train and travels to a different state which is when she is rescued by a man.
Little does she know that the man, Derek Clifford, is the heir to the ‘Cliffords dynasty’, a billionaire family, known for masquerading their money source as a ‘family business’. But the biggest revelation awaits Roselia at the Clifford mansion… that the person responsible for her father’s ‘unexpected death’ might just be a very important member of the Clifford’s family.
Just then, Derek leaves to go overseas.
6 years later
What Roselia hadn’t expected was that her love for the man who saved her life 6 years ago might just get in the way of her exacting revenge as she stays in the Cliffords mansion in the guise of a chef.
Derek Clifford had not ever dreamed that he would fall in love. Power was all he had ever desired. That is until his cold grey eyes latched onto the all-grown Roselia and his carefully-knit life comes falling apart. But deep down perhaps he had known that it wasn’t just moral obligation that had made him so fiercely protective of her back in the past.
Unfortunately for Roselia, Derek has a dark side to him, a side he never wanted to reveal to her. Would she run or would she stand with him? Would Derek even let her go? Could he?

Born with angelic blood, Lixue has lived her entire life bound to a prophecy she never chose. Raised in the countryside among a family who shared her celestial heritage, she was sent to Heaven at the age of seven to serve the Father and awaken the powers hidden within her soul. But a single night of tragedy shattered her peaceful life—demons invaded their ancestral mansion, and in the battle that followed, Lixue lost both her mother and her brother. From that moment on, her heart closed itself to the mortal world.
Haunted by loss and unable to accept death, Lixue disappears into the Philippines, working as a secret agent for her godfather’s underground organization. Her latest mission seems simple: protect Shuji Liao, a world-renowned model, from an unknown stalker. To stay close, she hides her true identity and lives under the same roof as Shuji and his father. But as Lixue investigates, she uncovers a far darker truth—Shuji’s family is entangled in a powerful criminal syndicate that threatens both the mortal and supernatural realms.
Shuji, raised between two countries and burdened by a fractured family, finds his once-stable life unraveling. A mysterious incident alters his heart, pulling him away from his girlfriend and toward the woman sworn only to protect him. What begins as duty slowly turns into forbidden love.
Unbeknownst to Shuji, a single kiss seals their fate.
The prophecy awakens, revealing its cruel demand: Lixue must love Shuji and bear a child destined to save the world from demons, devils, and ancient evils that walk the Earth. But salvation always comes at a price. After their child is born, Lixue vanishes—erased like a dream at dawn—leaving behind a son, a broken lover, and a world saved by a sacrifice no one will ever forget.

Man, I totally get the hunt for free reads—especially for hidden gems like 'Roly Poly Egg'! I stumbled upon it a while back while digging through lesser-known webcomic platforms. Some aggregator sites might have it, but honestly, they’re hit or miss with quality and legality. I’d recommend checking out Tapas or Webtoon’s free sections first; sometimes indie creators upload there. If you’re lucky, the author might’ve shared snippets on social media too.
Word of caution, though: a lot of those 'free' sites are sketchy with pop-ups or unofficial uploads. I’ve had better luck joining niche Discord servers where fans share legal reading links. Or hey, maybe drop a comment on the author’s Twitter—they might point you to a legit free trial or promo!
