      I noticed this while experimenting with series searches for https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/10033/quality-of-life-series-searches-are-overly-sensitive-to-symbols, but series titles on J-Novel sometimes use straight apostrophes ' and sometimes they use curly apostrophes ’ and series search will only return results if you correctly match the apostrophe used in the title. For example, in the case of Even Exiled, She’s Still the Beloved Saint! St. Evelyn’s Weird and Wonderful Friends, which uses curly apostrophes for the light novel and straight apostrophes for the manga...

      https://j-novel.club/series?search=Even Exiled, She’s Still the Beloved Saint! St. Evelyn’s Weird and Wonderful Friends will only return the light novel.

      https://j-novel.club/series?search=Even Exiled, She's Still the Beloved Saint! St. Evelyn's Weird and Wonderful Friends will only return the manga.

      Ideally I shouldn't have to care what style of apostrophe gets used for the title, they should match each other internally so both the light novel and the manga are returned whether you search with straight apostrophes or curly apostrophes.
