I dunno if this has been requested before, and I apologize if someone has already did. But see, if we can have it, can we have a feature here where we can download our novels in one click? Tis would be a great help whenever we made some irrecoverable errors in deleting our works, and our only hope of not losing our novels is the chapters we uploaded here.

Tis fine if it can't be done though. I understand that coding is not easy, but yeah, thank you whether or not it can be implemented.

I approve of this.

Though, if this can't be implemented, you can still copy each chapters and paste it onto Word or Notepad. This takes a long time, however, especially when you're copy-pasting a novel with a huge amount of words.

Truth be told, you should always have a local (or/and cloud like google docs - always have an alternative in case one storage medium fails) copy of your work and THEN upload it to services like SH.
The point is; that if you have your whole work only on SH and any sort of database problem occurs, or the site just stops working, then you (can) lose everything.

Personally, I see no need for that function as it could open the possible way for other people to quickly download stories (they already do, just one chapter at a time) and make it much easier for them to make money out of it (yes, it happens often).
Yes, it should be accessible only to the author of said novel, but my point above stands - there always can be a misconfiguration allowing bad things to happen.

It was requested 3 times already but was not implemented. @Tony (admin) must have a reason why he didn't do so.

Might be easier to conduct the chapters on local storage first and THEN upload it here. Then, you already have your copy.
