Add a node.js module that reuse what is already done in this plugin to be able to download epub from the console

A lot of the story I read on the web update often, usually I download an epub then read it on my epub reader offline. I often skip a couple month then go back to the website to check for an update. I do this so much that I even made an application that keep me up to date to tell me if one of the epub in my library in updated. The only problem is that I have to go get it transfomed in epub by hand, one by one, taking multiple hours by month. My library got 4471 books.

I would like a console command and/or a node.js module that take the plugins options and make the epub at the directory that I want.

Alternatively, I do not see anything...

ex: WebToEpub --link https://www.webnovel.com/book/xxx --path /*/*/Downloads/

@LudovicLachance I've looked into running WebToEpub under Node.js. Unfortunately, it's too much work for me to be willing to do, as Node.js does not provide the same environment as a browser. It might be possible to run in Electron, but again, I don't have the time. (Like you, I have MANY titles I'm trying to read, and not enough time.)

I suggest to look at https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare From the documentation

Update previously downloaded EPUB format ebooks, downloading only new chapters.
