I'm a mood reader & genre-flexible. I read manga and light novels the way I eat chips—once I start, I can’t stop. Non-fic is still the final boss.

    Manga/Manhwa/Manhua/Light Novels, etc. Platform Recs

    Question: I was wondering if folks have any platform recs for reading translated manga, manhwa, manhua, light novels, etc.? Bonus ask: let me know if you have any favorite stores for purchasing books.

    Some Context: I'm based in California, so I mostly utilize my library at the moment. It has a decent amount, but I'm always looking for ways to read more! Genre-wise/topic-wise: I'm pretty open

    I’m looking for:

    Platform-wise: Free is great, but I'm open to purchasing a membership/coins if it's reasonable. I know that's subjective- so if you could let me know if you think it's worth it or the pros and cons, that would be appreciated. So far, I've only really used Webtoon.

    Purchasing-wise: I'm open to e-books if I can own it fully. I tend to limit physical book purchases (due to space T^T) unless I've already read it and it's a favorite. I'm familiar with the typical US book chains, bookshop.org, and Crunchyroll.

    I'm an English reader only (unfortunately), but feel free to drop recs for other languages too! Thank you in advance!

    Sifting Sands (Blood of the Durit, #1)

    Angie Caedis

    All Ren wants is to see another sunrise, but when you grow up with people cursing your very existence, that’s easier said than done. As someone touched by the gods, she keeps far from the cities and the dangers they pose, preferring to keep to the endless and isolating sands of the Jahaer Desert. She’s managed to keep the marks that identify her as a daemon out of sight for this long, but when her camp is raided, and her allies have fled, there’s nowhere left to hide.Captured and taken to the heartless city of Denheir, Ren has only one goal—survival. She’s never embraced her gift of sight, but now she might not have a choice. Face to face with the most notorious man on the Continent and his desire for the power coursing through her veins, Ren must submit to the fate the gods have dealt her or fight. Good thing she’s never been one to yield.With new threats at her back and old ones plaguing her dreams, Ren is thrust into a journey of self, survival, and new alliances as she tries to escape a life she never asked for. The future is murky, and though she’s spent her whole life running from her gift, she just might realize that true power is as inevitable as the gods themselves.
