Hey guys, Reigokai here!
Some may not have noticed yet, but this is already the new website! No, there’s no new link. It is still the same isekailunatic.com without the .wordpress. part. I tried to make it as seamless as possible, so it might have been hard to tell apart.
For the ones wondering ‘hey, isn’t this still wordpress? Didn’t you say you had a problem with wordpress?’. Let me rephrase it properly since I really wasn’t clear there. I have a problem with the webhoster ‘wordpress.com’. I don’t actually have an issue with wordpress itself. That’s why I switched to a new webhoster, Dreamhost. I can already feel an increase in the freedom of things I can do from this switch which I will elaborate below.
With the increased freedom, I can now add plugins. This allowed me to add the long requested dark mode button which I tried my best to make it as unintrussive as possible, added a search bar that is at the site in PCs and at the bottom in mobile. Also some other small things on my side.
I have been asked to add stuff like a Font Size Changer. Unfortunately, it seems it didn’t work on my page. Also, to make the links more visible. For that one, I will just have to make them more visible myself by changing the colors, so it would be a manual endeavor.
I am also thinking about applying disqus for the comments which seems to be a pretty requested thing. I myself haven’t grown fond of it yet, but I will try it out for now and see how it goes.
Feel free to give me any other suggestions you have in mind. Note that I am not a tech wiz and I am pretty monkey brain, so I will try my best (my brain almost fried when I was trying to change all my URLs to the new one). I am always reading the comments, so if I didn’t implement your change, just think of it as me having tried, but failed miserably.
As for the comments and likes, I managed to migrate them as well, but some chapters came as 0 comments and 0 likes despite them having hundreds of comments. Yeah, it will look awkward for newcomers, but I can’t do anything about that.
Anyways, I didn’t want to post a chapter all of a sudden. I wanted to first hear you guys out on what other suggestions you may have and if you see any problems, post them here.
As for the new chapter, I will most likely be posting a new chapter on wednesday. All this migration business drained me tremendously and work is not over yet.
And so, I will be waiting for your suggestions and for any problems you might encounter.

could you do something about the light/dark button? my vision sucks so i usually magnify my screen to the fullest. as a result, the light/dark button ends up filling up my lower right screen & blocks the text. I've seen other websites w/ light/dark buttons that only use a small icon. also, they're fixed at either the top/bottom of the page (yours is always visible as i scroll up/down the page). i find it to be really distracting. if possible could you change it so that the button's in a fixed point & less noticeable / visible only when you access the menu? maybe place it under the chapter titles? i'd really appreciate it
Quick illustration of what it looks like:

Also, I noticed that the disqus comments still use a dark font on dark theme, making it very hard to see them. So if it's possible to make them use a contrasting font, that would make things a lot easier.
I have fixed it now. They are now placed at the top of all posts.
Had to buy a really pricy premium for that feature. Those sly bastards know what they are doing.
Oooh, finally you did it Rei-sama. I think the new site looks good too. I'm grateful for the additional feature that you added like the light/dark mode. Also, I do think using Disqus as a comment plugin is good. Since it has features that can help to comment become easier. Though it was really sad knowing that all of the comments in the previous Post were disappear or can't be seen anymore. Anyway just take ur time leisurely and I hope that you won't encounter any problem like before again
Edit: also I just noticed that the comment counter that is shown on the front page still counting from the old comment plugin. That's also the same for the Recent Comment section.
Amazing, dark mode is awesome. Keep up the great work as always
Thanks for the great work. Take some time if you need it so you don't overwork yourself. Good looking Dark Mode too. Nice and sleek.
Thank you for your efforts.
Oh ho, looking better than ever now, it must have been hard to do it but now it looks way better than before
Nice! Though I'd prefer the dark theme way darker, it's good to see everything going well. I think I'll now go and celebrate it by eating something tasty. Yep.
Hope you'll have a moment to rest now, Reigo-san. Looking forward to reading new chapters soon.
Thank you for your great translations (you're the guy whose translations i go up to date first whenever i finish what i'm currently reading.), though I'm mostly a lurker i do appreciate your quality works and i love it that you improved on things like dark mode after the migration.
For the dark mode i think it's great but the comments texts don't get changed to white so if we want to read them we still have to turn to light mode (at least on PC/Firefox). also I'm using 16:9 resolution and a big part of the right side doesn't get used in my monitor so i would appreciate it if you could move the informations more to the right for wider resolution settings (i think you can set it to be a certain distance from the right side so all the monitor gets used.
Have you tried reloading (pressing F5 should work) the website after switching to dark mode? It usually works in my case for Firefox (at least on Linux, but shouldn't matter), also on Android.
Oh yes it's weird, if you reload while having dark mode already then the comments text color do change and then you can't read them on light mode. So you can read them in whichever mode you want just gotta refresh while already having that said mode.
Just a guess: Disqus is probably reading style of website when it's being loaded - that's why we have to reload.
That's my guess as well. So you need to stick with whatever mode you want to use while you're browsing the site, and if you want to switch to another mode, make sure to refresh the page so everything gets updated.
Hmmm...? An Ad? While I don't mind them as long as it doesn't go something like an Ad per five sentences like some sites do, but I don't think I can ever recall seeing them (on my smartphone) on the last site. Oh well, something to get used to as long as it doesn't have Ads with sound forcing their way in.
As always, thank you for your work!
Adding dark mode was great idea. I'm using "Dark Reader" extension in Firefox, but site-native mode is usually better.
While I'm totally not Wordpress specialist (even more - zero knowledge - I've never used it), I'm SysAdmin (Linux) and SelfHosted fan, so I can try to help if you want (just send me an email).
I like it here.
