Moving Novels Between Directories

A novel is completely self-contained inside its novel directory.

By default, the directory name matches the novel title, but the exact location can be displayed using:

web-novel-scraper show-novel-dir \
  -t "My Novel"

Moving a Novel

To move a novel to another location:

  1. Locate the novel directory.

  2. Copy or move the entire directory.

  3. Preserve all files and subdirectories.

For example:

My Novel/
├── data/
│   ├── main.json
│   └── chapters/
└── ...

After moving the directory, tell the CLI where the novel is located using --novel-base-dir.

web-novel-scraper \
  --novel-base-dir "/new/location" \
  show-novel-info \
  -t "My Novel"

The --novel-base-dir option must be provided whenever you interact with that novel unless the new location is configured as your default novels directory.
