a few titles have volumes or chapters added that are either out of order or completely wrong (e.g. mistaking vol for chap)

To Deprive a Deprived Person everything above the "chapter 117" one is duplicate and messing with the watchlist.

Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? everything above "chapter 226" is duplicate and mixing up vol/chap

Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World latest entry is a duplicate and old chapter

World Teacher - Isekaishiki Kyouiku Agent this one is generally not wrong but since its mixing WN and LN watchlist isn't working

Hrmmm. Arrrgh. The issues here are coming from the source feeds:

  • The To Deprive a Deprived Person feeds are coming from releases named things like TDADP chapter 66 v2, where the v2 is being interpreted as a volume number.
    I'm now dropping the volume from all releases which also have a chapter number, and kicked the actual volume page (extra chapter from the LN) out of the chapter counting system.
  • Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? This is chapters like Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Chapter S22, where S22 is being interpreted as "Season 22".
    I patched the filtering system to special case some of these particular situations. Let me know if things reoccur.
  • The Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World chapter - someone actually manually added it, I suspect the volume number is correct, but the normal RSS releases don't have volume information. I just deleted the release link, it's also there as a non-volume release.
  • I'm not sure what to do about World Teacher - Isekaishiki Kyouiku Agent. Split it into two pages?

FWIW, a lot of the problems here are because items where no volume is specified are implicitly treated as if they are of volume 0.


Sidenote: if there's a series with well-structured release naming, and LOTS of back releases (I see you spent some time getting Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku up to date), just bug me on the forums. The scraper is probably just acting up, or the source changed the feed structure a bit and it's no longer properly keying. I can do historical bulk-adds without much work.

@endry - I flushed the auto-generated releases, and let it re-populate. It should be fixed now.

Also, if you're bored, grumping at the person behind Rebirth in a corrupt world so he'd stop using the stand-alone "a" as shorthand for "arc" would be nice. I can't overload the title-parsing system so that "a {number}" gets converted to a volume number because that breaks a considerable number of existing parsed titles.

Hello the latest Chapters in Cheating Monster (https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/35376/) are still wrong (newest Chapter 2.6). Also the latest Chapters in The Game (https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/3179/) are wrong (newest Chapter A Hacking Good Time ). The latest Chapters in The Strongest Job... Gardener? (https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/2480/) are wrong (newest Chapter 61)

Hello the latest Chapters in Cheating Monster ( https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/35376/ )

I removed the offending chapters from the latest chpater system, though I can't fix the underlying issue. "v" is assumed to be "volume" by the title parsing system. The only real solution here is to bug the author to use a different prefix for revision.

The Game ( https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/3179/ )

This... is annoying. The problem is that I recently modified the title-parsing system to split on "/" and "\" characters, to fix a different issue, and now it's accidentally parsing dates as a numeric value. This is compounded by the author here being dumb, and putting the date in the chapter title, despite the fact that all posts on RRL are already automatically date/time stamped.

Also, I have a very low opinion of anyone who thinks using "3" as a "cool" substitute for "E" doesn't help, but I do need to fix the underlying title-parsing issue.

However, doing so will involve a not-trivial rewrite of said system, as the current tokenization processes doesn't allow proper look-ahead or look-behind which would be required to allow detection of inadvertent date-splitting during the token specialization process.

The Strongest Job... Gardener? ( https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/2480/ )

It looks like the author was at one point using volume numbers, and has edited them out. I flushed the auto-releases, it should be OK now.


As usual, Thanks for the feedback and notifying me of the issues.
