So scribblehub has a problem
That problem is authors put the first few chapters of their stories here then when it start to be a bother they stop and readers have to follow them to others website (most their own).
This invalidates the second most useful thing about SH, the reading list ( first is the ability to find new works in the same place)

So what about giving author the ability of setting up chapters Novelupdate style

Givng them the option between the current manual update in-site and a bot update out-site with them setting to which site the chapers link, delay releases if they want

So even if author doesn't feel like it is worth it to continue update their story here they can set the automatic option to their main website and readers get to keep up having their reading list actualized, being informed of updates without having to check a bunch of sites.

Of course to prevent that stories here become just links to other sites (like NU) a minimum of x manual chapters could be imposed beforesuch tools become available

But then that defeats the purpose of the site doesn't it? RR wouldn't do this because it would lessen traffic to their own website. The idea is kind of nice but I'm against it. It's the author's prerogative in the end where they want to update their story. Plus, it's kind of their responsibility to post in whatever site(s) they posted in.

It turns this site closer to NU , a directory for most webnovels that may also contain the chapter in-site according with author preference

At that point, why not just expand NU to allow original content at that point?
I'm fine with SH the way it is right now.

Scribbly is a host site, not a database site. It's fundamentally different from NU.

There is no point in adding an index function.
