This is a modified version for my personal use. It is perfectly compatible with the original LNReader's plugins and backup files, allowing you to easily migrate to this application.
Warning
This version is not recommended for production use.
Caution
Despite having a similar icon and app name, this application is not affiliated with the original app (I just haven't come up with a better icon and name yet).
Note
This fork uses AI slop.
