I am a huge fan of chinese webnovels but it's hard to read a ~1k pages book on my phone screen.
While I understand why translators don't want to share them in a ebook format, is there better way to spend my evening than writing a little python script to scrape a website content and get a nicely fomatted epub...?

@ferrinbaine I'm learning as I code so for now it's targeted to the webpage i want to scrape. But if I manage to write a script that can be easily adapted to other pages, I'll definitely share it ;)
