This is probably the best updating site for wuxia novels.
Wuxiaworld.online, and boxnovels are a close second.

I would like to request for support for https://readnovelfull.com/.
While other plugins like Web2Epub and LN crawl DO support this website, this is the only plugin that updates the existing epub through calibre, which is very important when you read stories that update daily.

While wuxiaworld.co is supported and it does have nearly all the same books as https://readnovelfull.com/, the site itself is not well maintained and several chapters are buggy.

Thank you

Can you please look into storiesonline? I keep getting asked to log in twice and then log says fail: "Failed to Login for URL."

I've been using this plugin for over a year and everything's good til last week. I'm using version 3.7.0

Thanks

Edit: silly me. I didn't download the test version...

Forgive me if this information is somewhere and I didn't find it: I looked through the wiki and searched this thread, but I may not have known the right place to look or the right search terms. I know internally FanFicFare calls a method self.story.setMetadata() that takes two arguments, a type of metadata and its actual value. Is there a way to just dump all the metadata as key-value pairs into a single custom column in Calibre? I know it's possible to put specific types of metadata (like fandom or relationship) into custom columns, but I really just want to dump all the metadata into a single column or an external file so I can use code to manipulate it, rather than creating a custom column for every possible key type in every adapter.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can create a custom column like the comments one, to keep all your metadata. You just need to tell FFF which in column to add all the info.

I'd like to direct your attention to this post a few days ago.

The "Saved Metadata Column" feature (FFF config Custom Columns tab) does almost exactly that. It requires a "Long Text" type custom column and saves the information in HTML that includes the metadata entry key name and type (default text) as tag attributes.

You can see the code that generates and reads that HTML here.

Thanks! I created a custom column with the "Long Text" type, restarted calibre, and went to the drop down in the FanFicFare config under custom columns with the name of my name column. There are a lot of choices, from Category through FanFicFare version, listed, but I didn't see anything that looked like "Saved Metadata Column." Where should it be in the drop down? I tried updating FanFicFare from the version I had (3.7.0) to 3.7.18 and restarting Calibre again, it didn't seem to change anything. This is with Calibre 3.42 and on Linux, if it matters. Do I need to set something in the ini file to enable that functionality?

[Tanjamuse]

It's down at the bottom in the tab with custom columns.

See my attached screenshot

I see it now. Thanks!

The online conversion link isn't working.
It just says error503. Quota reached.
Can someone guide what to do about this.
Also
Can the developers please please add support for swoonreads.com

[Sirius14]

Can someone suggest other sites/plugins like this to download stories from sites that aren't supported here. Esp swoonreads.com.?

See the FAQ about web service quota.

swoonreads.com is specifically a site for writers to submit manuscripts they want to sell. I don't believe it is appropriate for FFF to download from swoonreads.com.

Please take any further discussion of downloading from swoonreads.com to private messages.

It's not like there isn't already a way to do it, it's just not as efficient. Use 'Update EPUB always', or don't; it's your choice.

Pity but thanks for trying.
