مكتبة الخيال — an Arabic web-novel library.
Built against lib 1.6, using the suspend API directly (the *Request/*Parse
pair is deprecated and final in KeiSource).
The site has no browse API: /novels and /novel-details ship their payload as a
<script type="application/json"> island, so both are read from there. Chapters
are the exception — the detail page embeds only the first 100 and ignores
?page=, so the list is walked through /api/novels/{id}/chapters, the endpoint
behind the site's own pager. Verified contiguous across a 1771-chapter novel.
SManga.url holds the numeric id rather than the slug: the slugs are Arabic and
need percent-encoding, and hand-encoding them is where this goes wrong.
Popular is the chapter-count sort. The site only honours -num_chapters and
latest_update; any other sort value is accepted in the query string and then
ignored, which silently made Popular a duplicate of Latest.
Two defects, both reported from the device rather than from the test run.
The site's pages are text/html with the payload in a
<script type="application/json"> island, but the response body was being
handed straight to the JSON decoder, which then choked on a document
starting with <!DOCTYPE html>:
Expected start of the object '{' but instead found '<'
The chapter API is the one endpoint that answers with bare JSON, so it keeps
the plain path. All four reads now go through parseAsIsland.
coverUrl returned "/images/novels/<name>", a path with no host. A thumbnail_url
has to be absolute or the cover renders empty; the images themselves were fine.
The placeholder card shipped with the source reads as an unfinished extension in the source list. This is the real artwork: a phoenix rising from an open book, at all five densities. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
