What is HSKStory?

HSKStory is a graded Chinese reading platform built for the HSK 3.0 standard. 100+ interactive stories across all 9 HSK levels — from absolute beginners (300 words) to advanced readers (11,000 words).

Unlike DuChinese and Chairman's Bao, HSKStory covers HSK 7-9 and is built natively for the 2025 HSK 3.0 standard. Stories are real fiction with multiple chapters, not news articles or textbook dialogues.

Features:

  • Native-speed audio narration with word-by-word highlighting
  • Tap any word for instant pinyin, definition, and HSK level
  • Smart pinyin mode — hints only for words above your level
  • FSRS spaced repetition flashcards with audio
  • Free tools: HSK Level Quiz, Text Analyzer, HSK 3.0 Word Diff, Practice Tests
  • No signup required — 3 stories free

Pricing: $7/month, $60/year, or $149 lifetime. Significantly cheaper than DuChinese ($14.99/month) or Chairman's Bao ($11/month).
