Notes. Site is blocking downloading the images. Can see this, if look at chapter: https://flowermanga.com/manga/a-promessa-nao-e-minha/capitulo-01/

First image has URL of: https://cdn2.flowermanga.com/manga_656ec43e659af/827246a3c786b999ba64f8207278a5e8/00.jpg If open a new browser and try to access the image, get rejected. I suspect it's keying off the Sec-XXX request headers, which WebToEpub can't modify.

  1. Probably isn't going to be easy to work around, and
  2. Working around it is probably a violation of Googles terms for Chrome extensions.

@dteviot I really forgot to try and open the images independently. Thank you for the analysis, I'll try to find another option.

Closing. Unable to assist. Sorry, I don't know of any scrapers that might be able to handle this. I think you'd need to drive a WebBrowser using Selenium, but I'm not sure how well that would work to obtain the images. Might need to put a proxy in the path and extract the image files on the fly.
