NovelUpdates as authoritative source

[mobedoor]

Some parsers (i.e patreon/BOTI Translations) save the owner (Patreon)/translator (BOTI Translations) in the author section. Whats more, some sites use shorthand/abbreviations for title.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a checkbox which allows the fetched NovelUpdates data (manual/automatic) to overwrite site provided metadata such as title/author.

This can be done easily but is it really needed?
also for some novels this wont work as the name is different in novelupdates.
another problem what if the quality of metadata for a particular novel is better when taken from parser because we are doing a global checkmark it would always use the novelupdates data.

I've explained my need in that some sites do not provide accurate metadata while Novelupdates metadata usually is more accurate.

another problem what if the quality of metadata for a particular novel is better when taken from parser because we are doing a global checkmark it would always use the novelupdates data.

That is a choice best made by every user individually as to what source they trust more.

also for some novels this wont work as the name is different in novelupdates.

Yes, for those one would manually input the novelupdates url.
