Describe the bug

I have been very delighted to see that NicoManga is now supported by FMD2 and I have thus spent the last couple of days batch-downloading the series I've been missing out on since the site switched its domain from WeLoveManga.one to NicoManga.com.

However, I've noticed that for certain series, not all chapters are shown in the series' page.

Take for example (there are others, but this one showed up today, so I'm using it): https://nicomanga.com/manga-kamigakushi-no-rakuen.html

Inputting that link into the Manga Info's URL tab will only show two chapters (ch.1 and ch.7), but if you switch to a normal browser and follow the link, you'll actually be greeted by twenty-three chapters (maybe 24, I didn't double-check). There's something like twenty of them that FMD2 isn't displaying. The latest chapter to date (dropped in today) is ch.13.1.

Another example: https://nicomanga.com/manga-kamigami-no-kago-de-seisan-kakumei-raw.html 7 chapters visible on FMD2, more than 24 on Internet browser.

I have everything up to date and I have also implemented the cookie trick in the NicoManga settings (or else the download function itself doesn't work properly): Cookies (actual values withheld): userId=(u); userName=(v); PHPSESSID=(w); hash=(x); ct_anti_ddos_key=(y); _GPSLSC=(z) UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/126.0.0.0 Enabled: True

Could you please find out what's happening and why there are chapters slipping through the cracks? Thanks and keep up the good work!

Just a small heads-up: the website is presenting some quirky behavior that may puzzle a few visitors.

Do NOT click on the links I posted above - if you do, the website will hide all chapters and leave you with a small message ("Access denied from the Nicomanga.com domain") at the bottom of the page.

Instead, copy and paste the URLs into your browser's address bar: that will cause the series page to properly display the chapter links.

I still don't know how to fix it but I know what the cause. Somehow FMD wont show a chapter with a decimal number on the URL. Example chapter URL: https://nicomanga.com/read-kamigakushi-no-rakuen-chapter-2.1.html. If I create a code that remove the decimal number like: :gsub('.1', ''), then the chapter will show up. This is the first time I encounter this bug. Other sites with a decimal number on the URL is working fine, but not on NicoManga. This will remain not fixed until someone else fix it.

That'll be a bit problematic, given that a good portion of the series on that website use multi-part chapters with decimals (I even saw a couple of them going to "chapter x.6" and "chapter x.7" and even further than that). Nicomanga does offer a manual direct download option for each chapter, but TBH I greatly prefer FMD's more convenient automation.

Well, at least the cause of the issue is known - didn't piece it together myself. Thanks.
