Hello, I really like this script but would it be possible to implement a feature showing the last chapter you left off of?

Hello, I really like this script

Thank you!

would it be possible to implement a feature showing the last chapter you left off of?

Unfortunately, a feature like that is outside my intended scope for this userscript and likely beyond my skill level to implement reliably.

As the userscript requires you to go to the first chapter (which I'll refer to as the summary page) of a work to have it's full functionality (namely, being able to retrieve the summary of a work), it can't tell what the last chapter you were on is as information like that will not persist through a page reload/going to a new webpage. It might be possible by using localStorage where you have a localStorage entry for each work or one single localStorage entry which is written to every time you go to a new chapter, but the former will slowly increase the amount of disk space localStorage will use without there being an easy way for the end user to clean that, and the latter may result in the userscript using bad data on one bookmark if the end user opens multiple tabs in quick succession (the last tab to load will have overwritten the last opened chapter information from the previous tabs). Not to mention the two methods I've just mentioned would not work if the user is reading a work with the entire work shown, it'd only work when reading chapter by chapter.

And I don't want to make the userscript fully functional on non-summary pages as that would mean fetching the HTML of the summary page every time a user navigates to the next chapter, which would not fit my goal of keeping the load this userscript puts on AO3's servers as low as possible.

I hope my explanation of why your requested feature isn't likely to be implemented is understandable enough. Personally, I add the last chapter I've read manually whenever I bookmark a work (e.g.).
