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.
Actually works, had a few issues, but resolved them by looking through reviews and seeing the answers the developer or other users posted. Wish I had discovered this years earlier...
Hahahah, Thank you for this SUPER useful and dream-apps for binge readers like me!!
It's an amazing and POWERFUL extension. At first I could only figure out how to get it to work on FanFiction.Net, but now that I know how to use it on other sites I'm able to download entire Light Novels effortlessly from translation sites. This is compared to spending hours doing it manually with copy-and-paste in the past. HIGHLY RECCOMEND
it's great it works as expected but sometimes for some reason it stops collecting chapters even though it has not collected all the chapters and proceeds to download. the website i tried to dl is (wuxiaworld.co)
I honestly thought this was going to be a terrible extension but after i starting using it, it was amazing. highly recommend it.
Works pretty well on most sites, its a real savior. Sometimes it skips chapter one but that's not a huge issue
Worked for Worm by John McCrae. It's in a web serial format with no official ebook format. Love this extension, it worked perfectly! The only complaint I have is that in its current format, sites that use links to denote "Next Chapter" or "Last Chapter" link to a website. This is essentially a non-issue but would definitely clear some confusion with some less-tech savvy people we might be using this for if its fixed.
Would be even better if supports MathJax.js
love it, it does exactly what it is destined to.
like it but...has encoding issue with chinese text.
