The articles in Satori Reader are fairly short, and written specifically for the site, but they’re nearly always part of a series, which I guess would make the total text length for each series fairly long without getting anywhere near a novel’s length.
@Radish8 I skimmed a bit through this thread but didn’t see Reajer and wanted to mention it since I think it’s worth considering adding to the list. Sorry if it’s been mentioned before and just didn’t notice.
Reajer consists of numerous short stories from real Japanese authors with varying difficulty levels which have been turned into a kind of bilingual story. After each sentence, you can find the sentence with Furigana, the English translation and some additional information like grammar explanations.
I haven’t used this site very much yet either since I just recently stumbled across it but I guess I will use it as preparation before diving into ‘real’ novels since I’ve only read some manga so far.
Hi, these free graded readers came up on another thread and I thought they’d be a good addition to the section on the graded readers! The site also links to other sites that have free graded readers (some even with audio).
Going via Google doesn’t work either. Apparently Reajer is hosted on Weebly which blacklists my country. It’s mentioned in the Wikipedia article about Weebly.
Finally added a load of things from your Reddit link
There were a number of good sites with free content, either graded or bilingual, and I added some online readers from looking at Tofugu reviews as well (Japanese IO and Manabi Reader). I might leave ReadNihon and TenjinReader for now unless somebody here has tried them out and had a good experience, as although the reviews were positive it sounds like they have some minor issues.
Mostly, though, I’ve realised I’m going to have to re-organise the content yet again D:
So they don’t that’s bizarre. I agree that surely there must be some kind of central page still… I’ll try to investigate more properly tomorrow - thanks for pointing this out!
@CyrusS I don’t know where else to post this, so I’m just going to ask here. Similar to the API subcategory, can we get a blanket rule where threads in the Reading subcategory never close? I want to make sure people can always ask for help in old book club threads, no matter how old they are.
