AI 产品解读Chrome extension that converts web novels and other web pages into EPUB e-book files for offline reading
Readers of web novels on sites like Baka-Tsuki, Archive of Our Own, FanFiction.net, Royal Road, and hundreds of other sites cannot easily download content for offline reading. This extension scrapes chapters, downloads images, and packages everything into a standard EPUB file.
1. User browses to a supported web novel/table-of-contents page
2. Clicks the WebToEpub extension icon in the Chrome toolbar
3. Extension auto-detects the site and populates chapter list and metadata
4. User selects chapters to include and optionally adjusts settings (cover image, author, etc.)
5. Clicks 'Pack EPUB' button
6. Extension fetches all selected chapter content and images
7. Generated EPUB file is downloaded to the user's downloads directory
Scrapes chapter content from 200+ supported web novel/fiction sitesParses table of contents pages to discover all chapter URLsDownloads and embeds images into EPUBGenerates properly formatted EPUB files with metadata (title, author, cover image)Built-in library for managing previously downloaded EPUBsSupports custom CSS selectors for unsupported sites via Default Parser
- 目标用户
- Web novel/light novel readers / Fan fiction readers / Users who want offline access to web-published fiction
- No suspicious files requiring further inspection; all 'suspicious' files in static analysis are false positives (metadata verification, SVG assets, progress bar UI)
- Some destination sites may require user login for paid/premium content — extension handles this gracefully by excluding inaccessible chapters
- The extension has 200+ site parsers making exhaustive review impractical; sampled representative parsers (GenesiStudio, StellarRealm, Kakao) for paid/login signals
付费分析未识别到付费功能
The extension is completely free and open-source (GitHub: github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub). No payment UI, no Stripe/billing integrations, no subscription APIs, no upgrade prompts, and no license key validation found anywhere in the codebase. The 'premium' keyword hits in GenesiStudioParser and StellarRealmParser refer to detecting premium chapters on destination sites — the extension marks them as isIncludeable: false and excludes them, but does not gate any extension functionality behind payment.

- The extension itself does not require any login or account to use its core workflow (browse to page → click icon → Pack EPUB → download file). All 'auth' keyword matches are false positives referring to 'Author' fields in metadata. The two 'login' hits in messages.json are: (1) an option label 'Download raw (no login)' and (2) a warning message about needing to log into *destination sites* that return 403 errors — not an extension login requirement. The KakaoParser login code (line 15) is explicitly disabled ('disable doing authentication, seems to have changed' at line 27). The cookies permission is used to forward browser cookies to destination sites for Cloudflare-protected content, not for extension authentication.
Goated as, legend
OMG....THIS WAS A LIFE-SAVER FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A TOOL TO DOWNLOAD WATTPAD STORIES SINCE SOMETIMES THE STORIES ARE TAKEN DOWN BY THE AUTHOR/PLATFORM. THIS EXTENSION HELPS ME TO DOWNLOAD THE STORY IN EPUB FROM WATTPAD AND I HAVE NO WORRIES IF THE STORIES GET DELETED. Y'ALL NEED TO INSTALL IT....TRUST ME.
An excellent extension, that allowed me to download many stories from Royal Road to enjoy on my E-ink reader. Although, it doesn't seem to handle images all that well, often resulting in the epub file ballooning in size and becoming unreadable.
worked so good before but not working on wuxia click anymore :((
IIIIIIII LOVE THIS EXTENSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I HAVE BE LOST MULTIPLE NIGHTS OF SLEEP TRYING SEARCH FOR EPUB FOR THE NOVELS I WANT TO READ BUT ALAS! IT DIDN'T BORE ANY FRUIT BUT WHO KNEW THAT I HAD THIS TREASURE RIGHT BESIDE ME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR DAVID TEVIOTDALE FOR THIS WONDERFUL APPLICATION!!!! I AM REALLY GRATEFUL TO YOU!!!!

IT is good but not currently working on Fanfiction.net, can any devs fix that? EDIT: Thank you! It is fixed now.
I love this extensions...much better than light novel crawler which I've used previously. Please keep updating this extension.
This is what I'm looking for, after trying to save some WN that I like. This make it easier, thank you Develper
This is one of those extensions that works so well that you hope that it never becomes popular lest it be smited by the corpos and pirates. Works amazing, highly recommend. Works with almost every site I tried it so far.
