I think the devs should really consider adding the Sepia mode to mobile.

I am a night owl so I tend to binge read at night with no lights on while I lay in bed. When I use the 'night mode', it only hurts my eyes because of how 'intense' I have to focus on making sure I am reading the words correctly.

When reading white/ grey text on a black background for a long time, it just makes it really hard to focus and my eyes start to get stressed out since the words/letters are so light and close together, everything just starts blurring together after a while.

I can only read like this for maybe less than 10 minutes before my eyes start to feel like they are criss crossing.

CRY_ changed the title to Sepia Mode for Mobile.

    angkong I am reading on the smallest font WN has available because it is about the same size as I would use when reading ebooks.

    Here's a comparison of what I mean. On the left side is the font size for an ebook I am reading (top) and a novel on WN I am reading (bottom). Then on the right side is a comparison on Sepia mode (what I usually use for night time reading) for the ebook I am reading (top) and then night mode on WN (bottom).

    When I say "Sepia BG w/ No Night Light", I mean that it is just a normal Sepia Mode. Usually when night time hits, that sepia mode will still be sepia but with a hint of amber glow to it.

    Anyways, what I am trying to say is that not everyone can read with white/grey text on black background for a long period of time without straining their eye. The grey tint on the text does help a bit but is not suitable for long term binge reading.

    For me, when I say binge read, I literally mean binge read. [40~50+ chapters read consecutively..]

      CRY_ wait ... u read night mode in default ? really ? my eyes hurt with that, u should adjust brightness

      me always set brightness min 30 when read with night mode, u can find this option in font section btw

        angkong Actually, I don't even bother with night mode on WN because of that, the eyes hurting from it. Sepia mode would just be preferable for WN mobile at night time since its a bit dimmer than the full on white background but still brighter than night time mode. Plus the text is easier to read. o3o
