Requires the Yuedu (Legado) Android app installed separately, sources depend on third-party sites that can go offline at any time.

No license information was mentioned in the explanation.

In plain English

This repository is a personal collection of book source configurations for the Yuedu (also known as Legado) Android reading app. Yuedu is not a typical ebook reader that bundles its own content: it works more like an empty browser that needs source rules to know how to find and display novels from third-party websites. This repo provides those rules. The sources were gathered from the internet and written by the repository author, and they point to Chinese web novel sites. The configuration file can be imported into the Yuedu app in three ways: by scanning a QR code, by entering a network URL directly in the app, or by downloading the JSON file and loading it from local storage. The app automatically removes duplicates when importing. The author is upfront that availability is not guaranteed, since the sources depend on third-party novel sites that can go offline or change their structure at any time. The advice is to cache or export any novel you care about as a text file before the source stops working. The repository is also described as lightly maintained because the author mainly reads locally stored novels rather than live web sources. The Yuedu app also supports text-to-speech so books can be read aloud, though this requires an additional TTS app on most Android phones since many built-in TTS engines do not support Chinese. Several compatible TTS apps are listed. This repository contains only the source configuration data, not the Yuedu app itself. The app's own code is at a separate open-source project.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I use the Yuedu Android reading app. Give me step-by-step instructions to import a network source URL so I can start reading Chinese web novels.

Prompt 2

The Yuedu app shows a source error for a Chinese novel site. How do I check if a source is still working or find an alternative?

Prompt 3

I want to save a Chinese novel from Yuedu before the source goes offline. Show me how to export it as a text file from within the app.

Prompt 4

Help me understand the JSON structure of a Yuedu book source configuration so I can write my own rule for a new novel site.
