DaoSearch
About
DaoSearch is a search engine for Chinese web novels. It gathers the rankings, booklists, tags, and reader buzz from platforms like Qidian and renders it all in English — so you can find what's actually big in China without hitting a language wall.
What you'll find
Every day DaoSearch discovers and ranks Chinese web novels, then translates their titles, authors, genres, tags, and stats into English. The original Chinese stays right next to each translation, so nothing gets lost along the way.
What it isn't
It's a way to discover books, not a place to read them — no chapters are hosted here. Every book links back to the platform it came from. No accounts, no logins, no tracking.
Where the data comes from
Everything is aggregated from public web-novel platforms for discovery only. DaoSearch isn't affiliated with any of them; availability and policies stay with the original sites.
