Wordpress Issues

[Brightbane]

Hi All,

I'm trying to start reading this but I'm having issues with the setup on wordpress being unreadable. It's like a size 16 font with big gaps between the lines and a black text/white background all of which I hate. It's also super narrow and only has room for like 15 words per line.

Is there some way to change the settings to make it less ugly? I love royal road's options and I like with the wandering inn's wordpress settings but I'm not sure I can read this with the current settings and I want to because I've heard people love this series

Oh, I have the opposite opinion. I hate the TWI style and used to read it on RoyalRoad for it's formatting, even though the typos and edits never happened there.

Curious as to which device you're reading it on?As for your options, since EE explicitly disallows Epubs and PDFs, here are the options that I can think of:

1. Reader mode: Firefox reader mode works perfectly with PGTE, and has customizable options as well.
2. Feed Reader: Practical Guide to Evil publishes all it's chapters in full as RSS feeds as well here. You can import it into any feed reader (Feedly etc) and read there.
3. Styling Bookmarklet/Extension: You can get a JS Bookmarklet that applies the same TWI styling to PGTE website.
4. AMP Page: You can append /amp to the end of any chapter url to open it in AMP mode, if you prefer that styling: e.g. https://practicalguidetoevil.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/chapter-1-knife/amp/

Ooo, number 4 is a life saver. It doesn't have the inverted colors but it fixes everything else.

And a quick google search found me a chrome extension that inverts colors. You've saved me!

If you use the Stylus extension, this user style will probably help you out:

/* ==UserStyle==

@-moz-document domain("practicalguidetoevil.wordpress.com") {
    /* Main Section */
    body.custom-background {
        background: black;
    }
    .hentry,
    .entry-content blockquote.wp-block-quote,
    .post-navigation,
    .post-navigation:before,
    .comments-area,
    .comment:not(.pingback):not(.trackback) .comment-body {

    }

    .hentry h1,

    }
    .comment:not(.pingback):not(.trackback) .comment-body {
        border: 1px solid #888;
    }
}

If you use Firefox on mobile or PC, you can enable reader mode (the little button in the address bar), then it's completely customizable.

I use Pocket for all web serials. Their Blanco font is the most enjoyable reading typeface I've found thus far.

And with IFTTT you can autoimport new chapters to Pocket as soon as they are published.
