Uhm, here I am again?
I was trying to covert a file myself yesterday using your instructions, but stumbled upon a small problem. About sections with text above other text, what do you do when the text above overlaps with another line? Leave additional space in between the lines or something else? I think Sekai no Owari no Encore had sections with overlapping text as well, probably also text above overlapping with the lines above.
Oh yeah, I was doing volume 1 Mushoku Tensei, everything should be ok except the text above thingy.
Progress thus far: *note: link removed
Feel free to do with it as you please, so if you want to add it to your folder, no issue for me. Though the text above problem should be solved first
. I might do some more converting, no promises though.
Edit/update:
I didn't stop fiddling around with the files so, eventually did some additional work. About the text above other text problem, I decided to edit the stylesheet, specifically by lowering the value for top for the class special1. I lowered it to -20px instead of -25px and this resolved the issue of overlapping text. Doing something similar also mostly solved the problem of overlapping text for Sekai no Owari, though there the value had to be lowered to -15px. The only remaining issue here would be overlapping text in the horizontal direction.
I also did volume 2 & 3 of Mushoku Tensei. Volume 1 was further edited as well (mainly better placement of some images). There was a big issue with id not being unique on volume 1 though, so I had to quite a bit of post conversion editing (basically the entire text), so the html formatting on volume 1 is a bit different... Further notes on volume 3 (and possibly 1), since it was my first serious go at a kepub file from scratch, some minor formatting might be lost in the progress (italic text mainly). I'll look into improving the process in the further volumes. Currently I'm planning on doing Mushoku up to 6 somewhere between now and next week. For the volumes after that, I'll have to wait and see (webnovel only, so no images/cover).
Edit/update2:
Volume 4 added and have improved the other 3 volumes. Mainly removed 2 stylesheets added by calibre, also disabled the hyphenate setting during conversion. Rearranged some images and updated some formatting, mainly summation, italics is still mostly overlooked. Luckily it's rare and if I spot it I'll fix it. Probably won't be redoing the volumes from now on, not really a lot of things I can think of improving. I might try to fix the last remaining error reported by FlightCrew.
Edit/update3:
Volume 5 & 6 added. Minor edit made in volume 3 & 4. Somehow failed to properly remove translator notes in chapter 1 of volume 4. Did a quick find + regex to make sure the other volumes didn't have remaining notes, but nothing found.
Volume 6 most likely has to be redone in the future, the exact location for the images couldn't be found here or anywhere I looked. In the end placed them in the locations I though were appropriate, but might have missed the correct spot with a few lines give or take.
From now on there won't be any images, so volume 7-23 will be done from web novel source only. Of course except volume 1 it seems the translations done so far were web novel based as well. Should they get updated to non web novel material, I'll consider redoing them. For volumes 7-23, I'll do them at my own pace, which should be a few volumes a week, depending on how quick I'll be with reading it. Without images it'll be easier to make the files though. I'll add the files as I do them, but obviously won't be adding an update every time I add one, would be an excessively long update log. It's actually becoming a bit long already...

About the series itself, nice read thus far, seems like I won't have to worry about looking for something to read for a while
Link to the folder with the files:
moved to newest post
@tharael89: Feel free to add the files to your folder, easier for other people if the kepub files are somewhat bundled together. Also that would allow me to take down the files in my folder (just so I don't forget to take them down should it be licensed, though if someone notifies me, I'd most likely notice it).
