Lightnovel Crawler is a Python tool that downloads web novels from 300+ supported sources and converts them into e-books such as EPUB, MOBI, PDF, and DOCX. It ships as a CLI, a web app/server with a browser reader, and Discord/Telegram bots, supporting personal library management and scheduled re-downloads.
Use cases
- download a web novel as an epub for my kindle
- scrape all chapters of a lightnovel into an ebook
- convert webnovels to mobi or pdf
- run a self-hosted server to track and download novels I follow
- read downloaded novels in a browser with a web reader
- download novels from a specific site automatically
- generate ebooks from web fiction for offline reading
When to choose
- you want one-command downloads of web novels to e-book formats
- you need a self-hosted library server with a browser reader and scheduled updates
- you want CLI, web UI, and bot interfaces in one tool
- you need support for many sources across multiple languages
When to avoid
- you need to redistribute or commercially use downloaded content — it is for personal use only
- you want a general-purpose website scraper rather than a novel-specific crawler
- your target source is not among the supported crawlers and you cannot write one
