Broken stuff

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/62743/

• missing chapters

• missing chapters

Did you mean to post novelupdates links?

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/47429/

Sources are broken, and use the volume number sometimes. I can't do much here.

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/34406/

See above. I set the series to chronological numbering, but that's pretty broken too, and I'm not totally sure the cause.

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/33430/

I don't even know how to deal with this. The source site sometimes uses cumulative chapters, and sometimes uses chapters relative to the volume start. I do think I need to add the facility to order releases ONLY by chapter number (and that's a simple enough thing I think I'll do so), but this is the source labeling things in a bizarre manner.

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/33715/

I think two series got merged, not sure how. This may legitimately be a bug somewhere in the series feeder.

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/77742/
• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/2376/

These look as reasonably sorted as I can get them to me.

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/105788/

Roman numbers. I though I had support for interpreting those.

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/94414/

Seems like the author went back and added chapter numbers?

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/94414/

Author doesn't understand how chapters work. More recent content seems to be OK.

For a lot of these, I really need to add a facilities for marking removed/renamed chapter links as having been such. This is something fairly high on my TODO list.

For most of these, I can't really fix the original sources doing things wrong. Basically, the miss-numbered stuff is almost entirely the automated release generator getting confused because people are bad at the internet, and if I fix it manually the automation will just re-add the mistakes because they're still wrong on the source sites.

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/62743/

This was actually a dupe of https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/34112/reincarnated-as-a-dragons-egg-lets-aim-to-be-the-strongest, which has all the rest of the links. They're merged now.

• https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/308/

I kicked the releases with a non-zero volume out of the latest-chapter count. I can't fix the missing chapters ATM. Foxteller/Rebirth.online is a clusterfuck to deal with what with the garbage JS site and their SUPER aggressive anti-debugging tricks.

Basically, the site is a bunch of assholes. They don't even have RSS, so I have to do a bunch of crap to work around their shitty site.

Any developer who puts together a site that requires JS to view text-based content should just go fuck themselves because they're terrible at everything and should feel bad.

The novel updates were a mistake hahaha, posted this at 3am where I live

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/115546/

Found another one btw,

EDIT: and another one

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/1135/

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/46196/

Most of volume 4 is missing

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/115546/

• uses volume number as chapter number

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/115546/

Author went through sometime in the last 20 days and renumbered everything. Previously, it didn't have chapter numbers, so the force-numbering override was just applying sequential numbers to the series.

Incidentally, this will probably fall over completely on scribblehub content, since I don't pull the complete ToC. Gah.

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/46196/

I'm currently not pulling historical chapters from NU.

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/1135/

I actually follow this series, what specifically are you seeing that's wrong? Everything >57 is correct, at least.

There's some http/https duplication going on, but that's the only thing I see.

The chapters below 16 is sprinkled all over the TOC like chapter 7 and 8 is between 47 and 48.

Oh, derp. I switched it from chronological ordering to numeric sequential.

I also just implemented proper ToC fetching from scribblehub. That should go live over the next few days.

Nice!

Also sorry if I post alot of "broken" novels

Quick question, novels which has deleted their chapters for amazon reasons (they only allow first 5 chapters on other places, an example is https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/70762/ ) should I post their links here?

EDIT:

I'll just post them

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/52019/

• amazon reasons

• completely removed novel from RoyalRoad

I really need to implement deleted page detection (or at least flagging of some sort).

• at a quick glance it's fine, but it you look at for example v4 c9 its a completely another novel.

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/44012/dungeon-defense

I'd suspect this was the TL site incorrectly tagging their release. It happens a lot more then you'd expect!

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/52978/the-slime-and-the-bounded-starsails

• Has the "outdated" version as well, which the Author deleted. So basically a lot of dead chapters. I don't have the ability to delete chapters (the best thing that I could do is name them "dead chapter" or "outdated version") so sorry if I throw this one to you Mr. or Ms. Fake-name!

EDIT: fixed nr. 52978, apparently I have mod abilities now. [Mod Privilege LVL up 0 → 3].

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/109254/

• missing chapters (for example v1 c1 and v1 c10)

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/57359/

• dead links (at least from c1 to c149)

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/90608/

• Out of order plus a dead source (wuxiaworld forums)

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/115546/

• Know I've posted this before but the author has just put chapter numbers on his posts, but the problem is that there are a couple of chapters that are missing. Is there any way for the RSS feeder to redo a novel? There are about 20 chapters missing, It would be cool if you could add multiple releases at once instead of manually adding a chapter one by one.

EDIT: Did it manually and also added the new chapter name format on most of the chapters, the multi-add chapter function would be great though!

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/110108/

• the RSS feed just stopped working like 30 days ago. manually added the missing chapters but the feed is, I think still dead

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/71570/

The feed for this novel is inactive... Plus all royal road links are dead. Its a mess.

https://www.wlnupdates.com/series-id/71570/

I hate roman numerals.
