Bring novels from different websites into one library, keep your place, and make the reading experience your own. β€’ Cross-site search and update tracking: Search supported sites by title or author, or add a novel using its book-page URL. Check new chapters, filter updated books, and pick up where you left off. β€’ Multiple sources for one novel: Combine chapter lists from different websites.
