legado

Project Overview

This repository is an archival backup of the original Legado open-source reader, preserving the source code and installer of the project's final release. Legado is a free, open-source Android novel reader whose book source rules and reading experience have long been maintained by the community; this repo simply keeps that set of original code and APKs available for review.

The last archive of the original Legado.
