SoDu is a Chinese-language online novel search and discovery platform that helps readers find recent chapters and fiction from a range of forums and digital libraries. Its catalogue spans genres including fantasy, martial arts, urban romance, historical fiction, detective stories, online gaming, science fiction, horror, essays, and poetry. Readers can browse popular titles, newly added books, recent updates, author listings, and several rankings to discover stories or follow ongoing series.

The site presents chapter links and offers a streamlined reading experience, which it describes as fast-updating, uncluttered, and free of advertising and pop-up windows. Registered members can use a personal bookshelf to save novels and access reading history, making it easier to return to previously viewed stories. The platform also provides mobile reading access and site navigation in traditional Chinese.

SoDu says it collects the latest novel links from forums and book libraries; readers who believe a linked work infringes their copyright can contact the site to request removal
