• Light novel will be downloaded into the same folder as the program.
• Downloaded information will be saved into ln_info.json file located in the same folder as the program.
• If you change anything (like move the epub files away), try to change the ln_info.json too.
• Or try not to change anything ^^

• I only tested on some of my favorite light novels.
• Some images have a blank page before them (Caused by the center image code).
• Images may crash on some epub readers.
• Can not get image from some image hosts.
