Opens manhwa, manhua and webtoons in webtoon mode without you setting it per series.
It goes by what the source says, not by the pictures: a "Manhwa", "Manhua", "Webtoon" or "Long strip" genre tag, or a source name that gives it away. A mode you picked for a series always wins.

Reopens a chapter where you left it, even one already marked read.

The light-novel reader has its own settings, since scrolling text and turning pages are different problems.
Tap edges to scroll On
Tapping near the top or bottom edge scrolls a screenful.
Swipe between chapters On
Swipe sideways to move to the previous or next chapter.
Auto-scroll
Scrolls the text on its own at a speed you set, so you can read without touching the screen.
