Research direction

Start by comparing Readability's handling of the two Royal Road chapter URLs, then verify the manually opened about:reader URL as a reference. Reproduce the failure with the second page and confirm that both examples are detected consistently before considering the issue done.

Description

has-website-testcase should-be-readerable

For example this page works:
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/34798/melas/chapter/535107/chapter-1-prologue-murdered
This one however doesn't:
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/30321/unbound/chapter/563337/chapter-one-hundred-and-three-103

Opening about:reader?url=https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/30321/unbound/chapter/563337/chapter-one-hundred-and-three-103 manually looks fine
