Description by Not A Simple Studio Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
ArcReader is the offline-first web novel reader and light novel reader for Royal Road, NovelFull, AllNovel, and dozens more sources. Bring your own link and we handle the rest — progression fantasy, xianxia, cultivation, LitRPG, isekai, romance, or any English web novel and light novel.
Loved by readers switching from Wattpad, WebNovel, and light novel reader apps like LNReader for a quieter, faster, offline novel reading app.
WEB NOVEL & LIGHT NOVEL READER BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS
Pick from four themes (Light, Dark, Sepia, Black AMOLED). Adjust font size, line spacing, font family, and margins. Switch between paginated mode with page-turn animation or smooth continuous scroll — a clean novel reader made for readers.
TURN ANY NOVEL INTO AN AUDIOBOOK
Built-in neural text-to-speech (TTS) turns any web novel or light novel into an audiobook — running entirely on your device. No internet, no data cost, no monthly fee for the core feature. Adjustable speed 0.75x–2x, lock-screen controls, sleep timer, and auto-advance between chapters. Listen to novels hands-free anywhere.
OFFLINE-FIRST READING
