I started having this issue, say... two nights ago. The novels weren't updating. Manually refreshing simply led to the message "Can not connect to server" to pop up. I decided to try logging out and in again. This only led to me not even being able to log in all together. I did notice the app was removed from Google Play- Is support for it discontinued? Side note: Today I had to enter a captcha to get into the site on my PC... related? not a clue.
I've been using the app for so long, I'd forgotten it wasn't official. Just dmed the creator of it, thanks!
I will continue to support the app as I use it myself. Your guess is absolutely correct. Since it is not an official app I have to emulate a browser and extract data from the website. To work around the cloudflare browser check it includes some code to solve simple javascript challenges automatically. The new captcha however is an issue.
Thanks for your hard work. I have used your app for 2 years and its wonderful. If you could resolve it, that would be great but if you can't then... thats it. It was really helpul anyway.
