Very large books may exceed Google’s upload size limit.

Use the same Google account when uploading and reading the book.
Get newer chapters
WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB you downloaded earlier. When the author adds chapters, return to the Bloodshedverse Downloader and download the entire story again.
