how to read an animated novel
We’ve designed the book to be as intuitiv as possible, so you are welcome to jump right in and start reading. it does take a little getting used to, tho. here are some tips:
-
you trigger the animations by scrolling, so you are in charge of the pace. if things happen too quickly, try scrolling at a slower speed. if you miss something or want to watch it again, scroll back and it will reset.
-
the animations trigger when they reach a spot on the screen just above the middle. since the book doesnt know where your eyes are, youll have to get used reading at this height, and scrolling as you read [ eventualy the trigger-height will be adjustable ]
-
if the bottom half of the screen is blank, the book is waiting for you to scroll before the upcoming section fades in [ this is to keep you from reading it too early and missing the action ]
-
dont worry about scrolling past stuff. the page will catch you at the right spot.
-
if reading on a phone, turn it sideways [ landscape mode ] unless you like reading really tiny words.
-
if reading on a touch device, scroll by flicking [ rather than hold-and-drag ] otherwise, you may notice a flickering effect.
-
if reading on a laptop/desktop, try full screen/presentation mode [ under the ‘view’ tab or command-shift-f ]
-
when scrolling temporarily locks, this is to keep you from scrolling past an animation and missing it. after the animation starts, you can continue scrolling.
-
the book is known to be buggy on a certain phones. if weird stuff keeps happening, try a difrent browser on your phone [ this seems to make a lot of difrence ] if that doesnt help, you may want to switch to another device.
