How to Read Chaos Stories on Android

To read a Chaos story on an Android phone or tablet, download it with WP Downloader and open the EPUB or PDF in a compatible reading app. EPUB downloads are free, you do not need a Chaos account, and you can read the downloaded story offline.

Download a Chaos story with WP Downloader

Find the story on chaos.sycophanthex.com. Its address should look like this:

http://chaos.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234

Copy the full story URL, then follow these steps:

1. Open the Chaos story downloader in your Android browser.
2. Paste the story link into the box.
3. Wait for WP Downloader to detect the site and retrieve the story.
4. Choose EPUB or PDF.
5. If you want the story’s images in the book, turn on the option to include them.
6. Download the finished file to your phone or tablet.

EPUB is free for everyone. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.

WP Downloader is a free web tool, so there is nothing to install. It downloads the whole story from Chaos. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories from this site. You do not need to sign in to Chaos, and its stories are in English.

Support for Chaos and the other fiction archives in WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the Apache-2.0 open-source fanfiction downloader.

Open the EPUB on Android

Open the downloaded EPUB in an Android app that supports EPUB files. Two options are Google Play Books and Moon+ Reader.

Google Play Books accepts DRM-free EPUB and PDF files that you upload yourself. You can upload the book through the Play Books Android app, then read it on Android, iPhone, iPad, or the web.

You can also use the Play Books website to upload the file from your computer or Google Drive. Very large books may reach Google’s upload size limit.

Moon+ Reader opens EPUB files on Android and has a built-in text-to-speech mode.

Open the PDF on Android

You can upload a downloaded PDF to Google Play Books in the same way as an EPUB. Once the file is in your library, open it in the Play Books app on your Android device.

If you do not have a preferred format, start with EPUB. It is free and works with Google Play Books and Moon+ Reader.

Read the story offline

Once you have downloaded the story and opened it in your reading app, you can read it without visiting the original Chaos page or connecting to the internet.

Keep the file somewhere you can find it later. If the author adds chapters, WP Downloader cannot update the EPUB you already have. Return to the Chaos downloader and download the whole story again to get the new chapters.

Listen to the story on Android

Android includes Select to Speak. Turn it on in Settings, under Accessibility, then tap items on the screen to hear them read aloud.

For EPUB files, Moon+ Reader has a built-in text-to-speech mode. @Voice Aloud Reader can also open an EPUB and read the story aloud.

These options use the text-to-speech voices installed on your device, so the available voices affect how natural the narration sounds.
