## What it is
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
