The preview already has the colours changed. Vallor and I worked them out tell us what you think.

Like I said, I liked the new concept, it's good and seems a bit more lively lol, and it actually makes sense inside of the story of the novel, not leaving just a bunch of random colors there lol.

anyways, good work

My suggestion to the layout change is to change the title names for the arcs. To me, seeing the arcs named as "First Arc" or "Second Arc" seems kind of plain.

My suggestion is getting rid of them all together.

Claiming a single novel is an 'arc' just looks silly. Fully half the 'arcs' are a single book! The rest being two novels each, you're adding more clutter without adding useful information. (The chapter numbers should make it more then obvious enough that the novels are part-1 and part-2.)

The entire change is just adding random colours (Brown, not Violet? Yellow, not Orange? And I would think that green stands out much more as Yoshino's colour then blue. They might make sense with mythology but they look bad when you're matching them with the dominant colour of the covers. You might as well just get an eyedropper and suck the dominant colour off the cover.), and adding useless 'back to contents' links (all browsers come with a 'back' button).

You'd be better off sorting it via the (admittedly illogical) anime-season order like Index does. Honestly I don't see there's enough novels in the series to bother with complicating the layout; it hasn't even reached double digits in the main series yet. :(

And what title names do you propose?
useless 'back to contents' links (all browsers come with a 'back' button).
'Back to ToC' deleted.
it hasn't even reached double digits in the main series yet.
It will change the 03/20.

Done. But now, what colours do you want?

Honestly, the old(mythological) colors were good. This is kinda dull. Grouping by anime season ruins the point of the folding as the groups are to big. Also, there may not BE a third season or the anime could diverge after season 2. Books should be organized by books. I explained before why using some sort of "dominant color" doesn't work. It's not obvious what goes with what.

As for the titles. How about we just way what volume it is, with the 2 part ones grouped.
Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3,4
Volume 5
Volume 6,7

That's clean and works well.

I like having the two part ones together in some way however.

It's exactly what I think.
More, if the template stays like that, the main toggle is useless.

So? What must I do?

Well, grouping them as the anime season would reduce more the space, what is what I am trying to do, but as Insane said, it doesn't make sense, books should be organized by books, with the mythological colors, and name them as volumes not arcs.

Yep, but I still have to fix 1-2 things like display the 'hiders' closed when the people reach the page and fix the bugs there are with the ToC when hiders are closed.
