Could you build this?

Partial The e-reader web interface is simple to build, but maintaining a catalog of thousands of translated web novels with daily automated updates requires web scraping pipelines and content ingest systems.

What it would actually take: The front end is an SSR reader built with Next.js and Tailwind, but the hard part is building robust headless scrapers (Puppeteer/Playwright) to continuously extract novels from diverse raw translation sources, bypass Cloudflare protections, and clean/format chapters into a structured database.
