NHentai Improved
V3 Update
I have rewritten large parts of the script to work with the fundamental changes NHentai made to the site.
It appears to now be working, but some issues remain, and it is not yet thoroughly tested. I will work on fixing remaining issues at some point.
Known issues:
- Alt version grouping as a whole has not been implemented yet
- Infinite load:
- Currently not handling the Favorites page
- Not handling rare language flags (only en/ch/jp)
- Looks like NHentai is serving mixed content? (http / https). This can cause "Blocked loading mixed active content" errors when making API calls.
- This issue currently only affects infinite loading and subscription gallery counts on the subscriptions page
- This can be "fixed" on firefox by making the browser force https everywhere by enabling "HTTPS-Only Mode" (which is good practice anyway)
- This fix also works on Android Firefox (or at least Fennec) too.
- Chrome doesn't appear to have an equivalent option (it does have "Always use secure connections", but that doesn't appear to be good enough) and the various force HTTPS extensions don't work either.

Some extra info about specific features
Block Extra Ads
Blocks extra ads not caught by normal ad blockers (only tested with uBlock Origin)
Dynamic page loading
Scrolling to the bottom of the page in a browse section loads in more comics dynamically.
Mark as read
Comics marked as read are partially faded out with a "READ" tag on the bottom right of that comic.
You can mark comics as read/unread on the main comic info page for that comic.
Subscriptions
You can now subscribe to artists/groups/tags/languages/categories. Currently all this does is list subscriptions on a new subscriptions page and highlight subscribed tags.
Version Grouping
By clicking "Find Alt Versions" on the thumbnail of any comic, alternative versions of said comic get searched from the entire site and grouped in with it. i.e. different language versions of the same comic in most cases.
This relies on titles so it isn't perfect. Occasional false positives or missing matches are possible.
Comic Reader Improved Zoom
Allows you to zoom below 1.0 and moves in 0.1 increments when in "Fit Horizontally" scaling mode. Also fixes "Fit on screen" scaling to actually fit on screen.
Backups
Lists of marked comics, blocked tags, subs and settings are stored in your browser's local data. Meaning if you wipe your browser, this data too gets wiped. There are import/export buttons for NHentai Improved's data below the settings, so you can make backups if you wish. During import, you can also choose if you wish to combine/replace/discard changes to Marked-As-Read and Subscription data. This means, you could have a separate instance of this script on your phone and PC and bring in your backup to one or the other to "sync" all your Marked-As-Read and Subscriptions data.
You can now also export/import to/from you personal secret gist, as a sort of cloud storage solution.
You will need a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) to use this feature.
How to get a PAT:
- Register at Github
- Go to: https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens
- Click "Generate a new token"
- Under "Permissions", click "Add permissions" and choose "Gists"
- Click "Generate token"
The PAT will be saved by NHI locally only. Never share your PAT publicly.
You'll find the settings in a new section in the standard site settings, or in the Tampermonkey dropdown.
