Preflight Checklist

What type of Apple device is the feature request for?

iPhone, iPad, Mac computer

Describe the feature

For the mangas listed in the library, do no auto refresh the manga chapter lists when opening the manga. The user can refresh the chapter list themselves, if required, by using the chapter menu (three-dots) or pull down (no such feature, a suggestion).

Feature Motivation

This is because some manga might have many chapters as mentioned in #813 and #815. If updating/retrieving chapters has been done in the library page, there is no need to refresh the manga again. It takes a very long time to load large chapter lists, around 20s. I believe it would also further reduce the number of requests required to fetch from the sites.

Anything Else?

For the implementation, I am looking at maybe storing the mangas in the library in a file, make checks to the file when opening a manga, and decide whether or not start a refresh automatically.

Either this, or have a faster method for fetching data, which I think would be harder to implement.
