owllook is a self-hosted vertical search engine for Chinese web novels, built on Python with Sanic, MongoDB, and Redis. It aggregates results from other search engines, parses 200+ novel sites into a unified reading interface, and adds features like bookmarks, bookshelf, and update tracking.

Use cases

  • search for web novels across multiple sources
  • self-host a novel reading site with unified parsing
  • track updates for novels I'm following
  • read Chinese web novels with a clean reader interface
  • crawl and parse novel sites with a lightweight async spider
  • save bookmarks and reading history for novels

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted Chinese novel search and reading experience
  • you need an example of an async Python search aggregator using Sanic and ruia
  • you want unified parsing of many novel websites instead of jumping between them

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose web search engine
  • you want an actively maintained project with guaranteed site compatibility
  • you need English-language novel sources
  • you plan commercial use - the project is explicitly for learning and sharing only
