Web novel Downloader

webnovel-downloader.js

function extractAndDownloadAllChapters() {
  // Find all containers that hold chapter text
  const chapterContainers = document.querySelectorAll('.cha-words');

  // Initialize an array to hold all chapter texts
  let allChaptersText = [];

  // Iterate over each chapter container
  chapterContainers.forEach(container => {
    // Get all paragraph elements within the container
    const paragraphs = container.querySelectorAll('p');
    // Extract the text from each paragraph and join them with a newline character
    const chapterText = Array.from(paragraphs).map(p => p.textContent.trim()).join('\n');
    // Add the chapter text to the array
    allChaptersText.push(chapterText);
  });

  // Join all chapters with two newline characters to separate them
  const allText = allChaptersText.join('\n\n');

  // Create a Blob with the combined text content
  const blob = new Blob([allText], {
    type: 'text/plain'
  });
  
  // Create an anchor element and use it to trigger the download
  const anchor = document.createElement('a');
  anchor.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
  anchor.download = 'allChaptersText.txt';
  document.body.appendChild(anchor);
  anchor.click();
  document.body.removeChild(anchor);
}

This seems really close to what I've been looking for. Thanks so much!

Is there a way to get it to save chapter numbers and titles, too? As it is, the text is just all one continuous block.

Didn’t it save them if it was written in the novel?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I started (as an example) here:

https://www.webnovel.com/book/i-can-copy-curses_29252483808354105/

...then I paged down as far as it would let me. Then I pasted the code in Console and used extractAndDownloadAllChapters();

It generated allChaptersText.txt , but none of the chapter titles were there; it was just a single uninterrupted flow of text.

Hi, I’m facing an issue where the text downloaded using my script is coming out in Chinese for the initial chapters, even though it is supposed to be in English. After scrolling down on the page, I noticed that the text in the later chapters is in English as expected.

It seems like the content for earlier chapters might not be fully loaded when the script runs. Could this be related to lazy loading or dynamic content that only appears as I scroll? If so, how can I ensure all the content is properly loaded before extracting it?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
