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.
Perfect and ez to use.
Thank you very much. After fanfiction.net started putting hassles up everywhere when downloading a simple story with Calibre, this plug-in is a godsend.
This extension is amazing, and the developer is so kind with adding new sites when they don't have to. One of the best extensions I've ever used. I prefer reading on my kindle because of the e ink display, but it's super old and can only load books, not apps/sites, so this is a lifesaver.
An absolute must for people who like to read on their e-reader instead of their tablet! Thank you so much for doing this, dteviot!
Perfect.
This is fantastic. I am very dyslexic but I absolutely adore fanfiction. A few years ago I found out that i could turn my fics in to audiobooks by downloading and running them through a text to speech app. This is the only thing I have found that works reliably on fanfiction.net.
Easy to use and does just what it says it does!
Works amazingly well
Works surprisingly well on unsupported websites. I had to manually input the links to each chapter, but the fact that that's an option is awesome. Thanks a ton!
Awesome extension! Now I can read novels from LightNovelPub on my Kindle. Thanks!
