Choose a world you want to spend time in

For unfamiliar worlds, explore fantasy, science fiction or mystery. If relationships draw you in, look through contemporary romance, historical romance or campus stories. Discover lets you filter by reading preference, genre and content tags.

Stories within one genre can move at very different speeds. The everyday situation, relationships and immediate problem in the synopsis can tell you more about the experience you are choosing.

Meet the role you will play

Read Your role and opening on the story page. Some stories begin with an established protagonist and relationships. Some offer several starting points or roles. The options available depend on the individual story.

Choose an opening you want to respond to. Wondering how to answer someone, or wanting to help a person in the scene, can be enough to get started.

Try one meaningful action

Read the opening and choose an action that expresses what you want. You can also write your next move in your own words, then see how the continuation responds.

Notice whether you enjoy the prose, care about the characters and want to take part in the next scene. Different readers can find their favourite experiences in very different stories.

Try a published original story

The introduction page features published official originals with valid editions in your language. Open a story to read its synopsis and starting role.

Continue a favourite experience from the story page or your bookshelf. When you feel like trying another genre, return to Discover.

You came to the capital to bring your father home. An old friend is willing to shield you from the wind, yet the man who once sealed the eastern gate of Shaliang sends you relics of your departed kin. Family, old grudges, and affection tangle into the spring days—can you speak for yourself and claim the life you want?

After the City ClosedMysterious

On the sixth day of the lockdown, the old grain coupons were collected, yet the new travel permits left no place for family members. You expose a relocation order, and someone immediately produces a goods manifest signed in your own hand. What is the city really short of—grain, quota slots, or one sentence that can be believed?
