How to Read a Bloodshedverse Story on a Kobo
To read a story from The Bloodshedverse on a Kobo, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your e-reader. Kobo opens EPUB files directly, so you do not need to convert it first.
WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. After transferring the EPUB to your Kobo, you can read the story without an internet connection.
Download the story with WP Downloader
Find the story you want on bloodshedverse.com. Its URL should look like this:

- Open the Bloodshedverse Downloader.
- Paste the story link into the box.
- Choose EPUB as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the finished EPUB to your device.
EPUB downloads are free for everyone. WP Downloader can also create a PDF after a free Discord sign-in, but EPUB is the format to use for a Kobo.
You do not need a Bloodshedverse account. WP Downloader downloads the complete story, not individual chapters or lists. Its support for The Bloodshedverse and other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

Transfer the EPUB by USB
USB works with Kobo e-readers and only requires a computer and cable.
1. Connect your Kobo
Connect your Kobo to the computer where you saved the EPUB. It will appear as a drive.
2. Copy the EPUB
Open the Kobo drive and copy the EPUB from WP Downloader onto it.
You do not need to rename or convert the file. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files, and Kobo can open the EPUB directly.
3. Eject your Kobo
Safely eject the Kobo from your computer before disconnecting the cable. The story will appear in your Kobo library.
Transfer the story with Dropbox or Google Drive
Kobo Forma, Kobo Sage, Kobo Elipsa, Kobo Elipsa 2E, and Kobo Libra Colour can import non-protected EPUB and PDF files from a linked Dropbox or Google Drive account.
Dropbox requires Kobo software version 4.18 or later. Google Drive requires version 4.37 or later.
To transfer the story:
- Link the cloud account from your Kobo.
- Place the EPUB from WP Downloader in the appropriate cloud folder.
- Sync your Kobo.
- Open the story after it appears on the device.
To link Google Drive, go to Home, then More, then My Google Drive, and select Get Started. Your Kobo will display a code. Enter it on the Kobo website to connect your account.
Books imported through Dropbox or Google Drive appear only on the Kobo used to import them. If your model does not support cloud transfers, use USB.
Get new chapters
WP Downloader cannot add chapters to an EPUB you have already downloaded. When a Bloodshedverse story is updated, paste its link into WP Downloader again and download a new EPUB.
Transfer the new file to your Kobo by USB or, on a supported model, through Dropbox or Google Drive.
