Standalone lncrawl.exe for windows not working since version 4.0.0 with the GUI #2937

Describe the bug

From v.4.0.0 onwards, lncrawl simply will not work as shown/intended; a freshly downloaded .exe file will, upon first launch, simply throw this error repeatedly for a few attempts:

Afterward, it might launch with this generic screen (refreshing does nothing)

In a frustrated attempt to try and get at least a terminal version (that was perfectly fine and working before), I've installed python and tried pip install -U lightnovel-crawler and the (dev) one, only to get this error every time:

In similar bug reports, it was suggested to do various things, presumably with sqlite or python, but none of that is a prerequisite to running the Standalone exe, nor is it possible (for me at least) to do anything with python since it refuses to install in the first place.
It was also suggested to delete the sqlite in %AppData%\LNCrawl\ and start (presumably via cmd or powershell) via lncrawl -ll server -p 8080, but that only results in the first error 100% of the time; it does nothing.

Oh, and any command-line arguments don't seem to work at all when trying to use them from cmd, such as lncrawl -h, it does nothing at all.

I'm not a programmer, I have no idea how to fix this, and all solutions involving some esoteric sql or python stuff are meaningless.

Please, just make an alternative or something with the old default terminal-like input, that worked fine... it still kinda does, but sources seem to be failing more often than not,..

Let us know

App source: PIP | EXE
App version: 4.0.0 onwards
Your OS: Windows 10
