    Instead of remaining on the frontpage. It would be more useful if you landed on the page with the chapter you are currently reading on appears first.

    Example. Imaging I am reading chapter 18 of a novel which has 27 chapters. Instead of remaining of /novel/?pg=0 it will instead jump to /novel/?pg=1 whenever I visit /novel/

    I agree that that would be definitely more convenient. I would be happy to see it be the first update to the sight in a very long time.

    There is hide read releases feature also. But it just doesn’t feel good to use. Because sometimes you want to veiw a couple of chapter back the list would feel empty when you have completed the novel.

    may i ask if any of you tried clicking this button yet?

    while it is not exactly 'landing on the page with the chapter you are currently reading on first', this button does bring you to the page where your last read chapter is.
    and it does that without even reloading the entire page.

    No i haven’t. It's actually funny how even after reading thousands of chapters, How I have not noticed it yet. Lol. Maybe I thought it was some kind of share button.

    It does it, but not automatically. Certainly an upgrade though and I'm glad it's there. I'm mostly just here to joke about the fact that NU doesn't actually get any updates anymore, but I'm a dev too so I get how it is. Gotta call a project finished some day.

    actually, NU did get a several features/amendments during 2020, but mostly related to management tools, so you are right that normal user-wise, the last big addition to NU was Recommendation List and Profile page back in oct 2019. NUF, on the other hand the most recent was the Spoiler Curator (and maybe few games?)

    I found that feature just last summer lol... Before that, I used to calculate the page number by remembering the chapter number, to make changes to the check boxes...

    I think this userscript should still work: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/395673-nu-auto-show-last-read

    More NU userscripts: https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/greasemonkey-userscript-index.26110/
