2 years ago Hi!
I've been told that even with a required disclaimer that users have permissions to format shift a given story, that since there's a lot of original content on RR there's potential legal issues with supporting RR. Until I have time to actually investigate and determine the truth of that RR won't be supported.
I have no timeline estimate for that, so if you can't wait then I suggest trying to search for a different tool in the mean time -- there are other tools that do similar things, some of which may support RR and have already worked through the legal troubles but which may require installing a program or browser extension.
I'm hoping support in some form can come back, even if it requires manual whitelisting of fics that authors give their permission for.
I'll leave this issue open and update it if/when whitelist support is implemented and if/when legal issues are resolved.
I could've sworn fichub used to support downloads from royalroad but there's no mention of the site on the supported list and download requests don't work, so I must've gotten it mixed up with a different site. Unfortunately whatever that site was it's gone so this one's my best hope to ever download from there again (I can also distinctly remember a lot of my downloads having errors such as missing chapters so having a site that's actually still supported to download from'd definitely be a lot better anyways)
