from my experiece: this style of displaying content is only ass if you visit the website for the first time and have a huge backlog of content.
ongoing comics with regular updates will mostly be frequented by visitors that already know all strips and just want to read the most recent one.
BUT (big but!): the fact that the navigation buttons for each comic say “previous” and “next” but will navigate to the next and previous chapter tells me, that the layout is not used as inteded. so… valid criticism!
The comics website is ass.
Is it a style choice that you go in reverse to see the next episode?
Like why am I going to the previous page to see the next episode.
Then the images just don’t load.
I wouldn’t care so much if the comic wasn’t so goddamn cute.
One of the scripts running on that page is squarespace, so I wonder if the artist just grabbed a preconfigured ‘blog’ style.
The dev is likely a fan of “natural” scrolling 🤭
