How to read Syosetu.com stories on a Boox e-reader

To read a Shousetsuka ni Narou story on a Boox e-reader, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader. You can then copy the file to your device or open it from Google Drive. Boox runs Android and supports both formats in its built-in reader, so no conversion is needed.

Download a Syosetu story with WP Downloader

WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. It supports Shousetsuka ni Narou stories from ncode.syosetu.com and novel18.syosetu.com.

Find the main page of the Japanese story you want to read. Its URL should look like this:

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n1234ab/

Then:

1. Open the Syosetu story downloader.
2. Paste the story URL into the download box.
3. Choose EPUB or PDF.
4. Select the option to include story images if you want them in the book.
5. Start the download and save the file.

EPUB is free for everyone. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. You do not need a Shousetsuka ni Narou account.

For Syosetu, WP Downloader downloads whole stories. It does not download individual chapters or story lists. It also cannot bypass locked content or age restrictions. Support for Syosetu and the other fiction archives available through WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

Choosing between EPUB and PDF

EPUB is a simple choice for reading the story as an ebook. It is available without signing in to WP Downloader and opens in the built-in reader on a Boox device.

Boox can also open PDF files. Choose PDF if you prefer that format, but remember that WP Downloader requires a free Discord sign-in for PDF downloads.

WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. Boox opens EPUB and PDF directly, so you will not need those formats for this guide.

Move the story to your Boox

You can transfer the downloaded EPUB or PDF over USB or open it from Google Drive.

Copy the file over USB

Connect your Boox to your computer with USB. Copy the downloaded EPUB or PDF to the device, then disconnect it after the transfer finishes.

Open the file in the built-in reader. Once the book is on your Boox, you can read it offline.

Open the file from Google Drive

You can also put the downloaded book in Google Drive. Open Google Drive on your Boox, find the EPUB or PDF, and open it with the built-in reader or another Android reading app.

This also works if you downloaded the story on your phone and want to open the same file on your Boox.

Choose a reading app

Boox e-readers run Android. You can read the EPUB or PDF in the built-in reader or install another Android reading app.

The built-in reader supports both formats. If you already use another Android reading app, you can open the downloaded file there instead.

Syosetu stories are in Japanese.

Download newly published chapters

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB that is already on your Boox. When the author publishes more chapters, return to the Syosetu downloader and download the whole story again.

Move or open the new file on your Boox using the same method as before. You can keep the old copy or replace it, but each download creates a new file.

You can also read the guides to sending Syosetu stories to Kindle and reading Syosetu stories on Kobo.
