The lack of copy-pasting makes makes pointing out errors in the translation tedious. It also disables spell checking and prevents opening hyperlinks in a new tab. Due to the lack of navigation on the site, you almost always have to open links from this page or novelupdates. A lot of pages also do not link to the next chapter and usually only link to the ko-fi chapter pages.
Next chapter button is illusion, use the previous chapters link instead for navigation
