If you're hunting down where to read 'Priest'
novels for free, I can totally relate to that late-night scroll energy. I usually start by looking for anything the author has officially posted themselves—many writers drop samples, short stories, or serialized chapters on their personal blogs or social feeds. For a Chinese author like 'Priest', that often means checking out their Lofter or Weibo posts, or any links they share to official serialization pages; authors sometimes release teaser chapters or side-stories that stay free even when full volumes are paid. Publishers and official platforms also sometimes put up the first chapter gratis, so scanning sites that host translated novels can turn up legit free previews.
Beyond the author’s own corner of the internet, public libraries are a surprisingly good rout
E. Apps like OverDrive/Libby and Hoopla carry licensed
e-books and audiobooks; if an English translation exists and your library has it, you can borrow it for free. Another trick I use is to watch for promotional windows—publishers occasionally run free-limited-time giveaways on Amazon,
google books, or their own storefronts. For fan translations, communities on places like Reddit, dedicated fan blogs, and certain
discord servers sometimes host volunteer translations, but tread carefully and favor ones that the translator notes as permitted or removed by request. I try to stick to legal or permission-based options where possible, both to support creators and to avoid dead links.
If you want a practical next step: follow the author’s verified accounts, subscribe to news from the main publishing platforms, and bookmark library loan services. That combo usually nets me legit free chapters and the occasional full book through promotions—plus it feels good knowing I'm not stealing anyone's work. Happy reading—there’s a lot of great material to dive into, and 'Priest' is absolutely worth the hunt.
