This might be a much better way to make parsers. https://github.com/mozilla/fathom https://mozilla.github.io/fathom/intro.html#why

This might also be useful, for default parser. http://selectorgadget.com/

Any estimates on how much Fathom would affect the processing time?

No idea. I've done nothing but skim the initial webpage.
I only have 4 to 6 hours each week to work on this project and people keep reporting other issues for me to deal with. To be perfectly honest, I'm starting to think a better use of my time would be to abandon WebToEpub and add support for Baka-Tsuki to https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare.
