Wuxiaworld-2-eBook

This Python script will download chapters from novels availaible on wuxiaworld.com and saves them into the .epub format.

Visit novel-ebook.com for a webapp with the same functionality but with over 2000 supported novels! Beware this site is still in beta and you may experience problems.

Getting Started

To run this script you'll need to have Python 3.6.x installed which you can find here.

Features

• Download and save you favorite Novels from wuxiaworld.com into a .epub file
• Automatically adds some metadata like author, title and cover

Prerequisites

As mentioned before this script was written for Python version 3.6.x. It may work with other versions too but none are tested. Additionally the Python image library (Pillow), lxml and Beautifulsoup4 are required. To install all dependencies just use the console to navigate into the project folder and write

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Download the script and navigate to the folder using the console then write

python wuxiaworld2ebook.py

or just use the start.bat file. If you didn't add Python to the PATH variable during the installation or afterwards the write

path/where/you/installed/python.exe wuxiaworld2ebook.py

After that just select the novel you want to read, enter the chapter range you want to include to the eBook, enter the book number of the novel you want to read (if applicable) and hit the "Generate" Button. Keep it mind that it will take some time for the script to finish, so don't close the window or the console if the program doesn't respond.

Keep in mind!
