How to Read Novelpia Novels in English

Novelpia is a popular platform for Korean web novels, but accessing and translating them can seem tricky. This guide will walk you through how to legally purchase novels on Novelpia and read them in high-quality English, while supporting the original authors.

Here's how to get started reading your favorite Novelpia titles in English.

Access Novelpia: Verification and Buying a Subscription

We have detailed guides covering exactly how to do this on Novelpia. These guides are specifically for overseas readers and do not require a Korean phone number.

The Novelpia subscription gets you access to all the novels and PLUS chapters on Novelpia for 1 month.

Translating Novelpia Chapters: The Options

Once you have the Korean chapters, the next step is translation. Here are a few common methods:

Try Google Translate

The quickest way is often using your browser's built-in translation feature (like Chrome's automatic Google Translate). Right-click on the Novelpia page and select "Translate to English".

  • Pros: Fast and integrated.
  • Cons: Translation quality can be inconsistent, may struggle with nuances or specific terminology, and might not work perfectly on all parts of the Novelpia site.

The Best Way: Use OpenNovel

If the methods above sound like too much hassle, there's a much simpler and higher-quality solution: OpenNovel.

Our Chrome extension integrates directly with Novelpia. Simply navigate to the chapter you want to read, and use the OpenNovel extension to translate it.

We also support bulk import from Novelpia, where you can ingest hundreds of chapters into the OpenNovel translation dashboard.
