How to Use the LumiList Extension

Automatic reading progress tracking for your favourite web novels.

Installation

The LumiList browser extension is available for Chrome and Firefox. Install it from the official store:

Once installed, the extension icon will appear in your browser toolbar.

Getting Your API Token

The extension doesn't use your password — it needs an API token. Generate one from your account settings:

  1. Go to your Settings page (you must be logged in).
  2. Scroll to the API Tokens section.
  3. Enter a name (e.g., "My Browser") and click Generate Token.
  4. Copy the token immediately — it looks like lnt_aB3xK9mQ.5F8zT2pR7vY4... and is shown only once.

If you lose the token, revoke it from Settings and generate a new one.

Connecting the Extension

Click the LumiList extension icon in your browser toolbar to open the popup:

  1. Enter your Server URL — by default this is https://lumilist.cloud.
  2. Paste your API token into the API Token field.
  3. Click Connect. The extension will verify the token and show your dashboard.

The token is stored securely in your browser's local storage. You only need to do this once per browser.

How It Works

Once logged in, the extension works silently in the background:

  1. Visit a supported source — navigate to a novel chapter on Royal Road, Scribble Hub, WuxiaWorld, Webnovel, or Mvlempyr.
  2. Auto-detection — the extension reads the page title and chapter number from the site.
  3. Progress recorded — when you've spent enough time on a chapter, it's marked as read and synced to your LumiList account.
  4. Dashboard updates — your reading progress appears on your LumiList dashboard automatically.

Supported Sites

The extension works on all 5 supported sources out of the box — no configuration needed:

Features

Adding Novels

When you visit a supported novel page that you're not tracking yet, the extension will detect it. You can add it to your library directly from the extension popup, or from the LumiList web app using the Add by URL feature in the dashboard (the + button).

Troubleshooting

Extension not detecting chapters

Make sure you're logged into your LumiList account in the extension popup. If you're on a supported site and the extension isn't detecting chapters, try refreshing the page or reinstalling the extension.

Progress not syncing

Check your internet connection. The extension queues progress locally and syncs when connectivity is restored. You can also manually trigger a sync by opening the extension popup.

Incognito / Private mode

To use the extension in incognito mode, go to your browser's extension settings, find LumiList, and enable Allow in incognito (Chrome) or Run in Private Windows (Firefox).

Privacy

The extension only reads page content on supported novel sites — it never accesses your browsing history, personal data, or other websites. Your reading data is synced securely via HTTPS. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
