    I searched the forum but nobody seems to be talking about this so I had to ask.

    I saw Girrafe mentioned before that the text in VIP chapters comes in image form so I wonder if anyone can confirm that?

    ==============

    [edit]
    The VIP chapters (well, at least the one I bought) are in picture form. Machine-dependent TL probably need to consider that before TL-ing novels from LCread.

    Can't copy as in can't copy because image form or can't copy because anti-rightclick ?

    I usually copy the free chapter through reader mode

    I think the text cannot be copied due to javascript restriction where the right click was disabled... and not because it was an image..

    Whenever I encounter something like this, I usually save the whole webpage as a PDF file (Ctrl + P, then Save as PDF). After opening the converted page, I can already copy the text... never failed me so far... :D

    If you've tried it and it is not working, then I'm sorry... can't help you with it.. :(

    Actually, the reason I wanted to know is because I am thinking of purchasing VIP chapters and I need to know the exact answer whether it's in image form or not _(;3/

    Can I ask if you bought one from lcread before, or you know someone who did?

    Yes, but it varies per novel. Some novels are locked and cannot be copied directly from the website but other novels could be easily copied. I am not really sure if it was the author's prerogative to set their webpage like that. However, based on my experience, if the free chapters are locked, then most likely the VIP chapters had the same restriction. Hope this helps. :)

    Hi, just to confirm something.
    You mean within Lcread, some novels' text is selectable while some cannot?

    Okay, I went ahead and recharged, then bought one of the VIP chapters.

    The result is the text are in picture form, calligraphy font...

    Well, I'm ded. Bye guys.

    Sorry for the late reply.
    I bought my own translation project - This Way of Transmigration is definitely wrong.

    Is Ti Shen from lcread?
