    UPDATE: 2018-08-13
    The Move to List feature is easier to use, instead of typing the list ID, you just select from a drop down menu

    UPDATE: 2018-02-27
    This a complete new version of userscript and incompatible with version from 2017, sorry. You need to download from the new URL.


    I create a little tool to interact with NU site because there are so many LN that I am not interested and I wanted an easy way to filter the content.
    Using the reading list feature from the site, you create a reading list and set it to not show.

    Objective:
    Simple & Easy way to move out a novel from the main page using 'Reading List' from the website.

    It will check each novel and append the novel language next to the novel title.

    This is useful if you want send novels from particular language to some reading list... :D


    Installation:
    You need an extension/addon installed in your browser
    Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
    Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo
    After the installation, you visit the download link.

    Download:
    https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/38480-nutools/code


    Set up the Reading List

    1. go to Reading List, under User Tools
    [​IMG]
    and create a reading list

    2. A new menu TAB will be added. Click it
    [​IMG]
    and change the List Settings and save.

    3. In the NUtools settings, select the List you created
    [​IMG]

    4. Save

    5. Now you can just click in the icon to move to the "Novels to Hide" list
    [​IMG]


    BTW you can use this script to move novels to any type of list. In this case I using to hide from main page. But if you want, you can chance the ID to a list of novels you like to follow or anything. Just remember what list you are using ;)



    Attention:
    its required that you be logged in NU site to this userscript to work.

    Feedback:
    To be honest I don't visit this forum enough to guarantee I will answer your questions lol

    Future:
    I may or may not add other functions to this userscript. Anyway, if I do. you will be prompted to update when it is available.

    While I do agree that it is useful, there is already a way to do that.

    You just need to create a new Reading List (name it "Hidden" or whatever) and go to "List Options" and tag the option to not show the releases on that list on the main page.

    It does the same thing your script does.

    And you don't have to run a script in the background all the time, because NU will filter it for you only when you use NU

    I don't understand why you would want to hide the releases though? But again, I have like 8 list, but for naught because I have all the novels mixed in so maybe is just my thing..

    Yea I have thst reading list called "Eyesore" with a crying face as the icon. You can also filter out genre and tags, but that uses a different mechanism.

    That would require you to be logged in.

    From what I understand, this extension works even when logged out.

    That is a lot of work just to hide a novel from showing. I got tired just reading the steps required to hide it.

    It's easier than you might imagine, doesn't take even 10s.

    Should take 1min or so at the first time since you need to create the reading list, but it's quite quick on all future occasions.

    I think a lot more people would appreciate this userscript if it had 2 other options:

    1. Filtering releases based on language (orgkr, orgjp, orgcn, ..., class disabler).
    2. Filtering releases based on translator. Though, we'd probably have to manually type in the script the group names we wish to exclude from the feed.
