An index. DaoSearch catalogues Chinese web novels and points you at the platforms that publish them. No chapters are hosted here and none ever will be — if you want to read a book, the link on its page takes you to the site that actually has it.

Titles, synopses, covers, rankings and comments come from public web-novel platforms and belong to those platforms and to the authors who wrote them. We gather them for discovery, credit the source on every page, and link back to it.

The English you read is machine translation with the original Chinese kept beside it. It is good enough to search and browse by, and it will sometimes be wrong. Treat the Chinese as the source of truth.

DaoSearch is independent. We aren't affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for Qidian, Yuewen, or any other platform we index.

Browse it, search it, share links to it — that's what it's for. What we ask is that you don't try to take the whole catalogue by automation or hammer the site hard enough to spoil it for everyone else. We rate-limit rather than ban, but persistent abuse gets blocked.

DaoSearch is offered as it stands, with no warranty. Data can be stale, incomplete, or wrong; pages can change or disappear as the sources we read from change. Don't rely on it for anything that matters more than picking your next book.

If something here is wrong, or you hold the rights to something you'd rather we didn't show, email us with a link and we'll fix or remove it.
