List of free reading resources for beginners: [https://dokushoclub.com/free-reading-resources/n5-free-reading-resources/](https://dokushoclub.com/free-reading-resources/n5-free-reading-resources/)
If you prefer physical books, I can recommend these: [https://dokushoclub.com/2022/02/12/graded-readers/](https://dokushoclub.com/2022/02/12/graded-readers/)
First issue of **Crystal Hunters** is (legally!) free and you can google that name and get it.
Other issues are pay if you want it.
Also search for “graded readers” on this sub and you will get free ones which are high quality.
What else do you want to read? After that stuff you can start slowly reading books. Books are pretty inexpensive.
There are some old Japanese magazines on archive.org as well if you want magazines.
I would recommend どらえもん or よつばと (Doraemon or Yotsuba to) as good starters. Physical copies are very cheap and the print is large enough you can read the furigana without having to squint too hard.
I remember reading さらば、猫の手 by 金治直美 as a beginner, around N5-N4. It was very easy and quite enjoyable.
