Does it support http://fanfiction.net/ ? I never found an easy solution for that one.

You can import a csv of all the chapter links, looks like it's just incremental numbering in the url

The issue is most likely cloudflare blocking most the best scraping methods. If the site can be pulled down with eg. wget or curl without a bunch of options that you definitely aren't writing by hand, pandoc can just be used to directly make an epub.
