Discovery before noise
We organize stories by clear genres, useful tropes, and readable summaries so readers can compare books without fighting through an endless feed.

Our purpose
Good stories deserve a clearer path to readers.
NovelBeacon is an independent discovery guide for English web novels. We help readers understand what a story offers, read a limited free preview when available, and continue on the official platform with confidence.
Why we exist
A better way to choose your next read
Readers should be able to understand a novel before committing time or money. These three ideas guide every catalog page and recommendation we publish.-
A preview before a purchase
When a preview is available, readers can sample the opening chapters before deciding whether to continue on the official reading platform.
A clear path to the source
Our job is to help readers discover a story and then direct them to the publisher, author, or licensed platform that provides the complete work.
How NovelBeacon works
From first discovery to official reading
NovelBeacon is not a substitute for the publisher or reading app.It is the bridge between a reader looking for the right story and the service licensed to deliver the complete work.

Editorial standards
Useful recommendations require reader trust
Our summaries, genre labels, trope descriptions, collections, and rankings are designed to make discovery easier. Some information comes from rights holders or official platforms; other elements are created or reviewed by our editorial team. We aim for accuracy, but listings can change and subjective recommendations remain opinions—not guarantees that every reader will agree.
- We favor clear descriptions over exaggerated promises.
- Commercial relationships do not guarantee positive coverage or a higher editorial ranking.
- Sponsored or paid placements will be identified where they appear.
- We correct material factual errors when they are brought to our attention.
- We do not publish a complete copyrighted novel unless we have permission to do so.
