We all love Tachiyomi because of how easy it has made reading manga for all of us. You can read manga free from annoying ads, and you can also download manga chapters to read them offline.
Not long ago, I learned about the Tachiyomi Forks, and it made me wonder if there could be an anime tachiyomi app, then there must also be a light novel tachiyomi app. But, I was disappointed when I couldn’t find one.
Even though I didn’t find a tachiyomi light novel app, I did find a couple of great Light novel apps just like tachiyomi. And, in this article, I will share with you 5 of the best tachiyomi light novel app I could find.
Let’s get to it then…
1. LNReader
LN Reader is a great light novel reader app. The user interface is extremely similar to the latest versions of Tachiyomi with over 80+ pre-installed extensions you can use. It has an in-built reader with all the features you could need, and you can also easily download the chapters to read them offline.
Just Pin the extensions you like and they would appear at the top. It has novels in 13 different languages, like English, Russian, French, Spanish, etc.
Features
- You can check statistics to see how many chapters you’ve read, not read, downloaded, etc.
- It has an incognito mode for novels you don’t want anyone else to see.
- There are two reading modes: vertical and horizontal.
- Over 10 themes to choose from.
- You can create separate sections in the library for each category.
- It has an update section to notify you whenever a new chapter is uploaded.
- Easy migration from one source to another.
- AniList and MyAnimeList extensions to find new recommendations.
Best LN Reader Extensions
1. Novel Updates
It’s not a novel reading site and it doesn’t host any novels at all, instead, it’s an Asian novel directory, meaning it has a list of all the Asian-translated novels. It just gives you the link to the chapters on other sites.
But, the extension on the other hand uses those links to scrape the novel chapters. , so you can read them in the app. It has all the English-translated novels which makes it the best extension.
2. LightNovelPub
LightNovelPub has it all, from Chinese and Korean Novels to Japanese LNs and WNs.
It might show an error that it wasn’t able to bypass Cloudflare. To fix that, just open the web view, come back, and open the LightNovelPub extension again. If you still get the error, then check out my article How to Fix Common Tachiyomi Errors.
3. Scribble Hub
Scribble Hub is a novel reading site with original content. So, if you want some original novels, plus other novels, then Scribble Hub is a must-have extension. It has the option to filter by genre, popularity, etc.
4. ZinnNovel
ZinnNovel is the best extension for Korean novels. It has a huge collection of Korean novels, especially in the villainess genre. But, it doesn’t have a filter option.
5. NovelR18
As the name suggests, NovelR18 hosts adult novels. It was the only r18 novel extension I could find.
2. Shosetsu
Shosetsu is another great light novel app like tachiyomi. It has over 50+ extensions but most of them are similar to the ones in LN Reader, and unlike LN Reader, these are not pre-installed.

This is a different extension from the ZinnNovel mentioned above. It has Korean and Chinese novels in English, but unfortunately, it doesn’t have any Japanese novels. You can filter novels by genre, year, etc.
2. ScribbleHub
As I said, a bunch of extensions in Shosetsu are the same as LN Reader, and Scribble Hub is one of them.
