So, I would like to have a copy of this in maybe a .cbr or .pdf or whatever, but for it to also keep a little bit of its essence, like the background and also sometimes it has like parallel dimensions so right after one part it goes to another dimension so its hard to download, would it make more sense to save it as a website or what?

So it looks like it's already been formatted to allow you to just get the whole thing in one go (the megamanga). It would be just a case of making sure everything is saved in some meaningful order. Are the alternate universe things ever more than one link deep or are they more of a bonus panel?

It's a bit left-field for this community but you might actually get some reasonable milage out of contacting the artist and asking for their help in archiving it. This isn't corporate art-product as far as I can tell so something might be arranged that is more efficient than just sending a scraper out to lift it.

Sometimes it's more than one deep link, I think at some points it's like, the alternative universe starts and it might go on for about 10 pages and then you can go back to the next page of the regular timeline.

Could be, she's been kind of out of the loop for some time so I think that part might be a bit difficult, I think most of what she did was around the 2000s and 2010s.

I guess I could try asking in dbzer0, the lemmy instanne for piracy.

you might try using wget's recursive mode to download

wget \
    --page-requisites \
    --convert-links \
    --wait=1 \
    --waitretry=1 \
    --recursive \
    --level=inf \
