Yuedu is a collection of book sources for the Legado novel reading application, which functions as a browser shell requiring custom-written or imported sources to parse and display content from third-party novel websites.
The Legado application works by extracting information from novel website search pages, detail pages, chapter listings, and full text pages, then presenting that content to readers. This project shares a curated set of book sources that the maintainer has personally collected and written, aggregating access to multiple novel websites through a single interface. Since all sources point to third-party websites, the maintainer emphasizes that availability cannot be guaranteed and sources may fail at any time.
Users should understand that this project maintains a limited collection of sources and is not actively maintained, so it should not be relied upon as a primary source repository. The maintainer recommends exploring alternative source repositories or downloading complete novel files as TXT backups to avoid losing access when sources become unavailable. For those seeking more extensive collections, other source repositories and novel downloaders are suggested as supplements or alternatives.
The project receives infrequent updates due to limited maintainer availability and a shift toward reading locally cached completed novels rather than actively sourcing new content. The maintainer explicitly requests that users report working novel websites through issues so they can be converted into book sources, indicating a community-contribution model for expanding the collection.
