Describe the bug
So, Mangadex just isn't working correctly. Almost as if it isn't actually pulling from the real MD website.
For example, take a look at this...
This is just incorrect. Everything from the anilist category to the list of chapters is wrong, and I can't see why. The url that mangal is showing is correct, but anything past that isn't. There are huge swaths of missing chapters and chapters that simply don't exist. This isn't the only entry with this issue...
Again, the exact same problems: missing chapters, chapters that don't exist, although it seems like the anilist entry is at least right.
Am I overlooking something or doing something wrong?

Hi! The problem is that mangadex has some chapters, that are linked to the external sites (not hosted on mangadex itself) which makes it impossible to scrape them.
By default, mangal shows only available chapters
makes it impossible to scrape them.
Projects like mangadesk, for example, are capable of doing this without issue. Are they doing something that can be implemented here? This is a fantastic piece of software, so it would seem like a waste not to have the same level of MD usability that others have. Also, this still doesn't explain the completely non-existent chapters appearing in the lists.
Well.. mangadex scraper is based on their official API, so maybe it has something to do with it.
I agree, it would be nice to support such chapters, but I'm kinda tired of this project and taking a rest for now (as you can see by the number of unresolved issues)
