A browser extension that adds a recommendation series and description for recommendation Lists.

Features & Capabilities

A browser extension that adds a recommendation series and description for recommendation Lists.

Usage Go to a novel page on novelupdates.com You should see a new section called Recommendations (AI) below the Related Series section.

Advanced Usage Click on the extension icon, and you will see a popup with the following options:

Top N: Number of recommendations to show Similarity: How much similarity you want to consider Rating: If you want to consider the rating Rank: If you want to consider the rank Save: Save the settings NOTE: You can set the rating and rank to 0 if you only want to consider similar novels.

About This is a small project created mainly to learn about Chrome extensions and recommendation systems. The recommendation system is a simple content-based system that uses the novel's description, genres, tags, rating, and rank to find similar novels. The similarity is calculated using cosine similarity. The recommendation system is running on pythonanywhere, and the extension is using a simple REST API to get the recommendations. Please note that since I'm using the free tier of Pythonanywhere, the API might be slow at times.

User Reviews

No longer works. Dev doesn't seem to be around, but it was neat while it did work. Seems like he was using a free trial plan of Pythonanywhere that expired, so this probably won't be fixed.

Is Novelupdates Extension Safe?

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
