Create an account and buy credits on Ridibooks

This works for overseas readers without a Korean phone number or ID:

Come back once you've purchased credits.

Purchase and Translate Diamond Dust

Here is the link to the novel raws:

If it asks you to verify your age, all you have to do is enter your birth date - no korean phone number or ID required!

You can use Google Translate in your browser, but the translation quality is very poor and unreadable. Instead, we recommend using OpenNovel, a translator that uses AI (like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude) to give you smooth, human-like translations, tailored for novels. It:

  • ✨ Works on iOS, Android, and Desktop
  • ✨ Translates novels from Korean websites (e.g. Ridibooks, Bomtoon, Kakao, etc.) but also text and ePubs
  • ✨ Lets you use a glossary for name, gender & term consistency
  • ✨ Translates R18 chapters and has no word limits

Get started with OpenNovel:

Here's a video of what it looks like. All you need to do is copy and paste the raw link to start translating. This video is for another novel website, but the process is exactly the same for Ridibooks:
