But I think most people that are gonna be looking for info HAVE read the manga at least, which is done by a few months now. And when it starts getting into unfamiliar territory, anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled can just stop reading. It's not like there's any need to keep scrolling down, the menu is at the top.
I suppose, though, that I could do a small summary just above the links and relabel the summary as being a full summary if it really does seem to be an issue. I do want the full story to be fully accessible without having to read all of the (MUCH more in depth) individual summaries once those are done. And I don't really want it on a separate page, either, I don't want it to get too crowded.
As for the characters, yeah, it is a bit iffy. I had it by affiliation before, but I ran into problems with that, too. When you start talking a lot of the characters that show up after DVMC, it gets tricky. Lemon never technically joined Mithril, so he doesn't get put in there, but he's an important character so putting him in an 'Other' category doesn't feel quite right. Same with Nami, and while a 'Whispered' category might work, that means I then have to figure out Kaname - does she go in Whispered, Jindai, or both? Does Tessa go in Whispered, Mithril, or both? Does Kalinin go in both Mithril and/or Amalgam? ...So I tried to go by how important the character was to decide where they belonged.
I agree that it needs to be better organized, I just need to look into how to organize it more carefully. I don't want 50 different affiliation types or to have characters repeating on so many pages. I AM looking into it, though.
It's still very much a work in progress, so as I get around to adding in the rest of the content, I'll try keeping these things in mind and see if there's a better way to organize it. (And now to go make some of those fixes from last night -- was too tired to do it then, and my stupid internet was down all morning >.<)
