Are all Baka-Tsuki translations supposed to be available on BakaReader?
I can't seem to get Kizumonogatari on the app.

I noticed all the ZnT chapters have disappeared from the app. Did someone break something on the translation page?

I can't seem to find the ZnT chapters either, and I don't get the update alerts anymore, but i still get the updates on the reader, just wondering if it's possible to fix these bugs, I love the app though

Question:

Is it

1. The ZnT chapters are not working.
2. The ZnT chapters have ALL disappeared.
or
3. SOME of the ZnT chapters aren't shown.

Long pressing then selecting to see the novel's info returns you the title and the first book's cover, but then it says "Error: No Synopsis found for novel".

When you actually view the chapter list for ZnT, the only option is "Series Overview" which displays the ISBN information page whose link is located at the bottom of the ZnT main page.

As a matter of fact, ZnT is actually licensed. Could it be the problem?

Probably not. The app simply links to the pages on the site if they weren't already stored on the phone, it has nothing to do with anything being licensed.

One of these days, I should just download all the pages and make a backup for people to do a restore with

So I spent some time tonight going through the recent edits on the ZnT trying to track down what might have broke the app. I'm fairly certain it was one of the edits that were done on the 21st that did it. That was around the time I noticed the chapters had all disappeared from the app, and the edits are around changing the formatting for all chapters, and adding Vol 1's text to the page. Both of which would make sense for causing everything after the series over view to disappear.

Only one thing jumps out to me. I'm wondering if it has to do with the way the sub sections are formatted for volume one. The only other place I could find where a volume is broken up by a bold, non linky line that's not indented from the chapter title is on the White Album 2 Omake page, which doesnt load up on the app at all. I'm sure no one noticed or cared about that one, I only found it because I was being thourough lol. I would suggest handling those sub sections the same way they're handled on Maria-sama ga Miteru (the best approxomation I could find for it). Even if that doesnt fix it, it doesnt hurt to have the same formatting for all the pages.

Now I dont know how the app is coded, so this is all pure speculation on my part, and I wouldn't dream of editing the page and try and see if my theory is right or not, even if I hadn't seen that someone else had made an attempt to fix it and got scolded on the history page lol, but I do hope someone more involved with the project, and who has the app, will try and undo those edits and see if they can fix it. I've become addicted to the app, and haven't read anything from BT while on a computer in forever. Its the perfect convenient way to read a little bit before going to bed, or while taking a "break" at work.
