Other details

I switched over to the three beta versions of 2.0.0 and in all of besides Beta 2 I couldn't get the plug ins to work. In Beta 2 I could, but there's no option to make downloaded chapters into Epubs, so I hope you guys don't mind.

Please kindly update the app to version 2.0.0 if it's not, thank you. Unless it is a typo, please fix at your earliest convenience.

Issues on 1.1.19 won't be addressed anymore.

The export to epub feature is again available since beta 3. However I leave this issue open because the issue most likely still persists, since beta 3 uses almost the same export method.

Hi @ModdyxBeast, can you elaborate on this?

Same issue here using beta 3 on Android 15

I'm on 2.0.0 beta3 too (Android 12), and I also can't make epubs from Webnovel.com downloaded content. Not sure if it makes a difference, I didn't download all the chapters. There's a section where no chapters were downloaded, and the chapters are also locked. I assumed it would simply skip these chapters?

Does the app produce an epub that you can't open in any reader? If yes then please post this epub here in some way to investigate.

File type not allowed: .epub

Epub exporting will fail if the story title has some funky character; in this case, it's probably the question mark. See my post about it below.

I've finally figured out why some epubs fail and why some chapters will be skipped in an epub reader!

It's all because of the unallowable characters! If the story title has a character like : in it, then the epub will fail to export. You can get past this by simply editing the title with "Edit Info" to remove the characters likely to cause it to fail (almost always punctuation characters, I assume).

Similarly, in the structuring, the epub format does not allow ID's or idref's that include certain characters like quotation marks (in the opf or toc files??) that were derived from the chapter titles (the length of those chapter titles might also matter?); hence, these chapters will be skipped. Please fix, as soon as possible. Thank you for everyone's hard work.

God this is annoying There is no special characters in title nor desciptions—needless to add, neither in chapter titles Github Action 2.0.0 (06/06/25 04:51 PM UTC) Commit: ccbbe36c I hope this issue doesn't just go ignored 4ever

Oh, actually, renaming /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.rajarsheechatterjee.LNReader/files/Novels/novelupdates/424/145684/1.b64.png to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.rajarsheechatterjee.LNReader/files/Novels/novelupdates/424/145684/0.b64.png fixed it, well that's good, but weird

Crrating such a file is not definitive either, as it seems it is the app that fails to download certain images
