How to use

1. First find the book ID (the string of numbers after URL /books/ ) and assign it to book_number .

2. Find the total number of chapter content (see the [four digits] in the previous chapter in the latest chapter in the directory, or see from狀態未完結(目前xxx章回) ), and assign it to chapter_sum .

3. You can only access the novel page after logging in, and assign account and pwd in login() as your real account information (this information exists locally and will only be sent to the po18 server for login).

4. Change txt = open('路径' + book_number + '.txt', 'a') , find a folder path, and replace the Chinese characters.

5. login() -> data{} 's client_ip is replaced with its own native IP (how to check the IP, don't ask me). If you use this script in moderation, the website server will not respond to IPs that are accessed too frequently.

6. If the website reports an error, find the last command line output xx https://www.po18.tw/books/---/articles/----- processing... , assign the number xx to start .

   Here you usually need to modify the page parameters in getContent(page) and calculate it yourself.

   Rerun and the download will continue. (This post may be repeated several times)
