Updates page issue when a single comic adds many chapters at once [not a bug]

[TehFreek]

If a single comic gets a large number of updates the Updates page has issues. Note how page 1 only displays the one comic, with it spilling over to the second page despite plenty of other comics having recent chapters as well:

That's not a bug, that's how updates works from recenttly updated to oldest updated, combined with the limit of the amount of chapters that you could see in the settings, I know, it's annoying when someone made a bulk release, but is not a bug

The follows page, as it is right now, only shows the last three uploaded chapters per series within a certain time frame. After a certain total number of chapters, it then adds a page break. However, the pagination counter is unaware of the three-per-series display rule, and paginates after a certain number of total chapters regardless of how many are actually displayed. This means that if you have a series where a large number of chapters were uploaded at once, the pagination becomes nonsensical - for example, if the most recently updated series you follow has just uploaded sixty chapters since the last upload of anything else, the follows page will display exactly three chapters of that series and absolutely nothing else on the first page, because there are enough total chapters that 'would be' displayed on that page if not for the three-per-series rule. This can continue for several pages, until you finally reach the end of that series's recent uploads and get an actual normal full page of many other series.

Instead of this behavour, the pagination code should only count the number of displayed chapters, and thus only add a page break if the page as displayed is actually full.

You're misunderstanding how the page works. If there's more than three chapters for a series fetched in that batch, it'll hide them behind a "show all" button; if there's sixty chapters uploaded to one series, it will display all sixty, not just three.
