#tch. thats really annoying innit#a webnovel i was reading has been completely obliterated from the face on the internet so now i will TRULY never know what happens#apparently the translation group got a dmca because of this new venture from one of the big webnovel companies (idk the name)#so they ended up completely nuking their site and aaaalllll the contents#i originally thought like... surely some aggregator website out there has a backup lol so worries but it's literally... gone#apparently novels are not a meticulously stolen as manga#manga translations never truly vanish i've read scanlations from 2012 that are artifacted to shit those jpegs have been through the wars#but it's legible! it still exists and it was done by a human being#so many novel aggregator websits only have machine translations and i cant read that shit it makes my brain hurt#so anyway point is now i'm trying to make backups of some novels i do really like just in case but god there has to be an easier way#going chapter by chapter copying all the text into a word document cant be the way it takes so long#this shit is 120 chapters i'm not strong enough for this#I don't wanna be a dick and try and work around the translation groups anti-copying anti-downloading protections because-#CLEARLY they're just trying to protect their work from being taken and distributed without their consent i get that#but... god i really want a backup of this one you know orz...#not having it physically (digitally?) on my own hard drives means that it could vanish literally anytime without warning#aarrrgghhh for now i will relent... but i'll be back it#sorry but if it's displayed in my browser it's literally impossible for you to completely cut off my access to downloading it somehow#if it comes down to it i can save the webpages individually as files but that's such a pain! it'd be nice if i could get the plain text...#although the translation notes would be lost and i do dearly treasure those...#snow blogging
