Grabs metadata for light novels from the RanobeDB database.

Features

Fetches title, author, synopsis, publisher, publication date, series info, and tags
High-resolution cover art download
Multi-language support (English, Japanese, Romaji titles)
Direct lookup via RanobeDB ID

Troubleshooting
If the plugin isn't finding the right book:

Try searching with just the title (omit author)
Add the RanobeDB ID to the "Ids" field as ranobedb:12345 (find this in the book's URL: ranobedb.org/book/12345)
Check if the book actually exists on RanobeDB
Switch between English/Japanese/Romaji titles in plugin settings
