Here is the YouTube Video if you don't want to read:

What you'll need: a phone number that can receive SMS (you can get a free one by using app like TextFree), and a PayPal account if you want to subscribe.

First, Download and install the immersive translate plugin for the browser that you are using at www.immersivetranslate.com

Next, navigate to www.qidian.com , and then in immersive translate plugin options, pick "Use google translate," "Always translate this site", and "Show Translation only"

Click on the Register link on top Right corner:

This should take you to the registration page, if it is showing in Chinese, just use the plugin to translate to English.

Pick the your country (USA is named as American), and enter your phone number

Click on Get the Verification, and solve the CAPCHA by dragging the puzzle piece in place to match the missing part.

enter the SMS code, make up a new password (save it in a password manager somewhere), check the "I have read and agreed Policy " Box, and hit Register now, if everything goes well, it would show Registration successful.

Once logged in, you can then go to https://my.qidian.com to setup your nicknames, and use the Safety Center link to bind an email address for login. (using immersive translate to make it English of course)

In case the password log in failed, just disable immersive translate at the login screen and use the phone SMS login instead, make sure to click the small checkbox below.

Once you are in, to support your favorite author/book, just search the Chinese Title of the book (which you can get from novel update or other places) by copy/pasting it into the search bar on top.

Then Click on Book Details to go to the book page, and click on "Join the bookshelf" to add this book to your bookshelf(or reading list), and click on Free Trial Reading to start read it with google translate, if you are ok with MTL. Would also be best to click on "Interactive Voting",

and then "Recommended Ticket", and click on "Vote now". This will help promote the book and make it more likely to be recommended and show up on Qidian's official recommendation lists.

To subscribe to the paid chapters , navigate to the first VIP chapter and click on the subscription button at the bottom, you can either just subscribe to this particular chapter, or auto subscribe the chapter as you read it, or do the bulk subscription for all the chapters, it'll show you how many points it'll cost you, and then you can click on the "recharge" button to top up your points via PayPal. (Just as a reminder, it is about $11.5 USD for 6500 points)

Congrats ! Thank you for supporting your favorite authors !
