Read Shousetsuka ni Narou Stories in Google Play Books
To read a Shousetsuka ni Narou story in Google Play Books, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and upload the file to your Play Books library. You can then read it on the web, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
WP Downloader is a free web tool, so there is nothing to install.
Download the Syosetu story
Find the story on Shousetsuka ni Narou and copy its URL. WP Downloader supports syosetu.com, including stories on ncode.syosetu.com and novel18.syosetu.com.
A story URL looks like this:
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n1234ab/ Open the Syosetu downloader, paste the link into the box, and WP Downloader will detect the site.
You do not need to sign in to Syosetu. WP Downloader downloads the whole story, not an individual chapter or a list. The downloaded book remains in Japanese.
Choose a file format
WP Downloader offers two formats:
- EPUB is free for everyone and works with Google Play Books.
- PDF also works with Google Play Books but requires a free Discord sign-in.
You can choose whether to include the story’s images. Select your options, then download the file to your device.

Upload the file to Google Play Books
Google Play Books accepts DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. You can upload your book from the Play Books website or the Android app.
Upload from a computer
Open the Google Play Books website and upload the EPUB or PDF from your computer or Google Drive.
Upload from Android
Open the Google Play Books app on your Android phone or tablet and upload the EPUB or PDF from your device.
Read on iPhone or iPad
Upload the file through the Play Books website, then open Google Play Books on your iPhone or iPad to read it.
Read the story
Once the upload is complete, open the story from your Google Play Books library. The uploaded book is available through the Play Books website and its Android, iPhone, and iPad apps.
Very large stories may exceed Google’s upload size limit.
Get newly published chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded. When the author publishes more chapters, return to the Syosetu downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new copy.
Upload the new file to Google Play Books separately. If you keep the older copy, both files will remain separate books in your library.
