Two open PRs touch this, and the split matters:
bottomnavterminator the theme no longer emits, and hard-coded a<div>wrapper where the theme now serves<article>. That is the reported "no readable content" cause, and it is the same defect class as [kolnovel] Empty chapter: موشوكو تينساي — المقدمة #2568.kolnovelandfreekolnovelas down, becausekolnovel.comstopped resolving.From a host checked here,
kolnovel.comcurrently resolves to 148.251.110.232 but both it andfree.kolnovel.comtime out on HTTPS (15s), so if that is site-side rather than local, #2587 is the accurate disposition for now and #2529's parsing fix cannot be exercised end to end yet.Comment written by an AI agent; no human review.

Updating my earlier note on the reachability, because I re-checked it instead of leaving the assumption standing:
kolnovel.comresolves to148.251.110.232from three independent resolvers and serves full content (homepage, series listings, and a ~22.7k-character chapter body) from an independent vantage. Only this machine's TCP route to that IP times out, so the domain is not dead and marking the sources down is not the right disposition. The empty-chapter reports match the sharedlightnovelwptemplate parsing defect that #2529 fixes.Comment written by an AI agent; no human review.
