    "...not a good role model at all!"

    Can I ask where you got the idea of coloring dialogue from? It made some parts a little bit harder to read, but others a little bit easier.

      I decided to use colours to try and make the dialogue from different characters easier to distinguish. What particularly made it hard to read? Was it some of the colours being too bright? Also love the profile picture. The Rock Cocks is awesome!

        Well, I think there's a classic phrase that explains the issue I ran into, "good design is invisible" - if you notice a page formatting decision, it didn't get out of the way of the reading experience. The colorful text was distracting, at least until I got used to it and had a chance to notice some of the cool things you were doing with it. I'm a little worried that the style is rare enough that I'll have to re-adapt every time I read a new chapter, which could mean I'll read every chapter distracted until maybe halfway through!

        The bold text is ESPECIALLY distracting, and while I know it has something to do with Joker, I can't figure out what it specifically represents.

        There's really cool stuff going on here, but I think the colored text is something some readers have to get used to. You're making good use of the colored text, but I think the drawback is your story is easier to binge than it is to tune in for each new chapter.

        Edit: You might want to look into stuff that makes a story more binge-able, and lean into that aspect, but that's up to you.

        Edit 2: And obviously, I can only speak for myself, not everyone else. Looks like nobody else has mentioned it, so maybe you're in the clear?

          Thanks for taking the time to explain, I see where you're coming from with the whole noticeable design stuff. Like you said, it's pretty unique so it may be a little jarring at first but hopefully as the chapters go on it will really start to settle in. Since Persona 5 is such a long story to adapt, I'm pulling a lot of the dialogue directly from the game to keep things flowing and obviously in the game they have names and portraits to show who's speaking. Since I don't have that here I'm experimenting with the colours.

          Also just to clear it up, the bold text simply represents Joker's direct speech/thoughts depending on whether or not it's in speech marks.

            You're welcome! I think it's a cool idea, and I'm enjoying the story so far.

            I'm ESPECIALLY excited to see how the fully dressed people react to seeing the thieves in the nude, especially before they awaken themselves!

        I have the site in dark mode and the blue you used for Fox in ch1 was near impossible to read for me.
