DaoReads

О DaoReads

A focused reading platform for free web novels, designed around speed, clarity, and discovery.

Framework-first: This Rust version of DaoReads focuses on public reading pages, clean server-rendered routes, and a future import pipeline instead of a CMS.

What this site is for

DaoReads is a reading-first interface for translated web novels and light novels. The goal is simple: quick browsing, sharp detail pages, and a distraction-free reader.

What it deliberately avoids

No login wall
No account dashboard
No server-side favorite syncing
No heavy front-end bundle

Architecture direction

The site is implemented with Axum, Askama, and SQLite so content can be imported later through an authenticated API while public pages remain fast and cacheable.
