Many online literature resources were free and could be obtained in the following ways: 1. Online reading: Many novel websites provide online reading services. You only need to register an account on the website to be able to read novels for free. Some well-known novel websites such as Qidian Chinese Network, Xiaoxiang Academy, and Red Sleeves Adding Fragrance all had free online reading functions. 2. Downloading and reading: Some novels can be downloaded to mobile phones or computers through mobile applications, reading software, etc. These applications usually provide free novel resources. For example, if one installed Qidian Chinese Network, a subsidiary of Yuewen Group, on their mobile phone, they could download and read all online novels for free. 3. Pirate reading: Some readers may buy physical books or e-books, but some people may download pirated books to read. Although it was immoral to read pirated copies, some novel websites or authors also provided services to read pirated copies as long as they paid a certain fine. It should be noted that there may be some risks in free novel resources. Some novels may contain advertisements, inappropriate content, or viruses. Therefore, readers are advised to choose reliable websites or reading software and pay attention to protecting personal information and privacy.
