Describe the bug
WebToEpub extension stopped working with NovelBin.com as of ~May 18–20, 2026. I used to be able to detect and download all chapters, but now when I visit a novel on NovelBin, only 1 chapter is detected in the UI. (See screenshot below)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to a NovelBin.com novel with many chapters (e.g. https://novelbin.com/b/the-hivemind-is-conquering-for-me)
  2. Click on the WebToEpub extension
  3. Note that only 1 chapter is detected, regardless of the real chapter count
  4. "Pack EPUB" button does not collect all chapters

Expected behavior
All chapters from the Table of Contents should be detected (as in previous versions). The extension used to work fine for this.

Screenshots
WebToEpub NovelBin only 1 chapter detected

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Browser: Chrome (latest version)
  • Extension version: [please fill in]

Additional context
This issue started around May 18–20, 2026. Other users are reporting similar problems (see GitHub issues #2661, #2317). It may be due to changes in NovelBin's site structure or API endpoint. I have tried refreshing, and reinstalling the extension, but the bug remains.

Thank you for maintaining this fantastic extension!
