Thread: Request: Allow “0” As Chapter Number

A number of web novels set prologues and similar introductions as Chapter 0, or Arc 0, and right now it’s impossible to set the numbering for such correctly. Could that possibly be fixed? Thank you!

Due to how I store the chapter/part numbers internally (they're a single number, with the chapter multiplied by 1000), I currently use 0 to indicate there is no chapter number present.

In retrospect, this was definitely a mistake, but it's baked in to how chapters are handled at such a deep level of the site it'd not be easy to change at this point.

Ideally, stuff like chapter 0 /should/ be indicated using the Additional release titles entry box, but that doesn't sort properly.

In short, arrrrgh.
