Please add Volume option. It's a mess.

I reached volume 03, and now it's a giant mess of chapters. we need grouping.

Care to explain? I've never written volumes before, so I'm a bit inexperienced. Do you mean like Book 1 and Book 2 sort of stuff?

The requested feature is similar to the RR feature for grouping chapters by volume. You upload the a volume cover and then index the chapters by volume. The result is a more organized web novel and makes it easier for readers to read the story by volume.

I guess add a chapter with a volume cover and a title to build the difference? There must be a way using current SH tools...we just need a very smart person to figure it out. (╭ರ_•́)

Is not me but I will try. (ಥ_ಥ)

Dude, it's hard for me to explain visually here. You should visit RR once and see how the novels are neatly organized by volume, complete with beautiful covers. In SH, this feature isn't available yet, so I had to create a volume format. For example: Vol 1 Chapter 1: Prologue.

Understood. I might have to poke around there sometime to see it for myself.

For those who don't know what this request is about.

As authors, it has barely any effect. Handling chapters on the backside is still the same on RR as it is on SH, volumes or no.

As readers, yeah, on RR you can click on the volume to only show chapters in that volume (if the author had set it up, because it's not automatic)

Tl;dr

It's a niche function that may have its uses, but I guess most people ain't using it. Because if they read a story, they go chapter by chapter and click on their saved list, continuing from where they left off previously, from my experience.

tl;dr 2:

No functions will be added to the main site, so asking for anything is also redundant; that's the sad truth.

Ai-chan just do it like Book 1 Chapter 1, Book 2 Chapter 1 or like they group it on TV, B1C1 if space is at premium.

Technically such function is already there. You can upload volumes as separate books, and link them as sequel/prequel. Adding it as the function you describe is, from my perspective as a reader, simply not worth it.
