Planned for the future or if anyone else wants to create a linux version.
Gross. jkjk. I'm too poor to afford one so can't make a compatable version :(

- Scrapes the Sources for novel links and request to raw HTML, So its efficient ig?? š¤·
- Doesn't use any heavy dependencies such as Selenium or Javascript Evaluators.
- Mostly uses C# standard libs so pretty lightweight.
- Integrates HtmlAgilityPack for efficent and effective parsing.

Yeah, ill add some more when I get around to it. You can raise a issue if you really want a specific one. Please try to make sure that the websites you request meets most of the following criteria (it's a headache to work with sites that don't and I don't want to add a webdriver as that add lots of overhead)
- Supports HTTP Request and doesnt hide the content inside obscure Java-Script Cough, Cough WuxiaWorld
- Should have some sort of search function(like a search bar)
- The chapters should have some logical ordering/naming. Not something like https://trashnovelsite.com/novel/32113/chapter-3. This makes it so much harder to get the right novel
