Tweak unintuitive wording of Unavailable Chapters setting [Implemented]

Here's the text of the setting right now:

Unavailable Chapters​

This setting is enabled by default, and hides chapters that are not available to be read. An override is available on titles that are affected.
This is rather unintuitive, because if someone sees a setting called "Unavailable Chapters" is set to "On", it would be natural to assume that unavailable chapters are on (i.e. will be shown), but according to the description it's actually the opposite.

There are two ways to improve this:
  1. Change the setting so that it actually shows unavailable chapters when it's on and explicitly name it "Show Unavailable Chapters" (better option in my opinion): Aside from the obvious benefit that it is clearer and more intuitive, this also aligns with the overrides on titles being "Show unavailable chapters".
  2. Explicitly name the setting "Hide Unavailable Chapters": This is fine, but has no advantage over the first option.

Yeah, I agree the current wording is a bit confusing at first glance. When I first saw "Unavailable Chapters" toggled on, I also assumed it meant they would be visible.

Renaming it to "Show Unavailable Chapters" would definitely make the behavior clearer and consistent with the per-title override. Seems like the most straightforward fix without changing any actual functionality.

"Hide Unavailable Chapters" would work too, but it still feels like extra mental effort compared to just saying what it does directly.

What exactly are "unavailable chapters"? First time I'm seeing this, is this a recent feature to show people which manga had their chapters taken down in the recent DMCA purge?
