- FFF's internals also allow for anthology books, which would need to be addressed.
- There are some site-specific datetime metadata entries.
- I don't know if Calibre would accept a datetime object for set_custom(). Presumably ISO 8601 format would work.
- Users may deliberately manipulate the datetimes in replace_metadata. For example, to only save month/year and discard day of month and time. Or 'hard coding' a date for a story that has the 'wrong' date.
I could add new code to create copies of all datetime metadata entries that only used ISO 8601 format.
But that adds user-facing complexity either in the form of "Why are there two different metadata entries for each date?" or, if it's hidden, "Why don't my changes to dates show up in custom columns?"
I suspect how Calibre interprets the date as string will change depending on your locale setting. I don't know if that's Calibre code or something Calibre calls. Do you use date formatting that disagrees with your locale setting?
Because honestly, if this is only a problem when you mismatch with your own locale setting, I'm inclined to ignore it. 
I'm not interested in supporting site , if: - The site hosts original content that you pay for, or the author is paid for;
- The site hosts copyrighted content(legitimately or not) that is sold elsewhere;
- You're not signing on also do the continuing dev work to keep the site working over time.
Your repeated mentioning of 'only unlocked chapters' suggests to me that there's paid content involved...
The browser plugin WebToEpub says it supports the site. |
Thanks so much. I have tried WebToEpub already, but it unfortunately doesn't work. I do keep mentioning only unlocked chapters, but there's nothing on the site that's actually required to be paid for. The site is fairly generous as everything can be unlocked very quickly, even without paying a dollar. It took me about one month of logins to unlock 800+ chapters of a certain completed novel.
