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!
