HSKStory is a browser-based graded Chinese reader aligned to the 2025 HSK 3.0 standard. It has 100+ multi-chapter fiction stories across HSK 1-9, including HSK 7-9 material that most graded readers do not cover.

Each chapter includes audio narration with word-by-word highlighting. Readers can tap any word for pinyin, English meaning, and HSK level, use smart pinyin hints, save words for spaced-repetition review, and take a free no-signup HSK level quiz before choosing a story.

I’m sharing it because it fills a gap for learners who want extensive reading material matched to the new 9-level HSK system, especially learners preparing for HSK 3.0 or looking for graded fiction beyond textbook dialogues. Five complete stories are free; full-library access is paid.

Update from the developer: since this listing went up, HSKStory has launched native mobile apps, so it's no longer web-only. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6771238049 — Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hskstory.app. Everything else in the listing is still accurate (150+ graded stories, HSK 1–9 on the HSK 3.0 standard, audio + pinyin).
