That sounds like an interesting project. 😊  

To build a paid reading website using WordPress, you will need to create a virtual currency system that allows your customers to buy and spend points for accessing your content. You will also need to restrict access to certain chapters based on the points required.  

There are different ways to create a virtual currency system for WordPress, but one of the easiest and most popular methods is to use a WordPress plugin that provides this functionality. For example, you can use the MicroPayments Platform Plugin by CreativeMinds, which lets you create and manage your own virtual currency, loyalty program, or digital wallet system. You can also integrate it with WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads to sell your products using your virtual currency.  

Alternatively, you can use the User Wallet Credit System plugin, which allows users to create a wallet on your website and purchase virtual currency using real money. You can also set up different payment methods such as PayPal or Stripe to accept payments from your customers.  

To restrict access to certain chapters of your content, you will need to use another plugin that works with your virtual currency system. For example, you can use the [Restrict Content Pro] plugin, which lets you create unlimited subscription levels and restrict access to any content on your site. You can also set up different prices and durations for each subscription level and accept payments using various gateways.  

Alternatively, you can use the [Pay Per Post] plugin, which allows you to charge users for viewing individual posts or pages on your site. You can also set up different prices and access periods for each post or page and accept payments using PayPal or Stripe.
