About better functionality. More search options!
Some sites have this useful function: if you click on an author name you get the list of her/his books.
Another useful function is using combinations of tags, romance + xianxia or whatever.
And a totally spiffy new function: get a list of chapters that contain a name of a character, perhaps any word of phrase could be used. It is like "control-F" or "meta-F", thus it is easier to implement the search for any phrase rather than for character of the story. These novels have a lot of different people, and few of us know Chinese so the names are not easy to remember, and there are frequent discussions in comments like "Who is that person"?
