IMPORTANT: This is for reading purposes only, please delete after reading.

If a series slug is specified for `fetch`, it will try to retrieve all free chapters of the series, placing each chapter into it's own sub-directory. If a directory folder already exists for the chapter, the cli will skip that chapter.
