HSKStory Chinese Graded Reader

Chinese stories you can actually read, matched to your HSK level, with audio on every chapter.

HSKStory is a graded reader for anyone learning Mandarin Chinese: 175+ multi-chapter stories spanning HSK 1 to 9, written as fiction rather than textbook dialogue — slice of life, mystery, romance, sci-fi, historical, wuxia.

READ AT YOUR LEVEL
Every story is validated against the HSK 3.0 vocabulary standard, so the words you meet are words you are ready for. All nine levels are covered, from roughly 300 words at HSK 1 through advanced reading at HSK 7-9.

TAP ANY WORD
Tap a word for its pinyin, English definition, and HSK level. Smart pinyin mode shows pronunciation hints only for words above the story's level, so you keep reading characters instead of romanization.

LISTEN WHILE YOU READ
Every chapter has audio narration with word-by-word highlighting that follows along as it plays. Adjust playback speed from 0.5x to 2x, or switch narration voices.

TURN READING INTO VOCABULARY
Save any word straight from the story you found it in. Saved words become flashcards scheduled by FSRS spaced repetition, and every card keeps the sentence you saved it from, so you review words in context instead of on their own.

READ OFFLINE
Download stories to your device and keep reading without a connection. Reading position, saved words, and review progress sync back when you are online again.
