What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
An extensible userscript (Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/Violentmonkey) that downloads novels from many Chinese web novel sites and exports them as TXT and EPUB files. It is part of the 404 Novel Library project, which archives at-risk online novels to archive.org so they survive takedowns.
Use cases
- download a novel from a supported web novel site as epub
- save web novels as txt files for offline reading
- archive novels before they get deleted from sites like Qidian or JJWXC
- scrape book chapters from a novel catalog page
- download paid chapters I have purchased with my account
- back up light novel series that sites have removed
When to choose
- you read Chinese web novels and want offline copies in TXT or EPUB
- you want a browser-based downloader that works across many novel sites without installing separate apps
- you want to help preserve novels at risk of disappearing by archiving them
When to avoid
- you need a standalone desktop or mobile downloader rather than a browser userscript
- you want to download from sites behind login walls without owning/purchasing the chapters
- you need a general-purpose web scraper rather than a novel-specific tool
