Well I have to say Smallville is my favorite television show and finding a visual novel based on that I thought was awesome until I downloaded it and the font is so small on my phone I have to use a magnifying glass just to read it also you have the same color font with the same color background blue on blue red on red etc etc very hard to see and read any possible way you can fix that please and thank you I look forward to see how this story goes but I can't sit here and hold the magnifying glass just to read it. Pictures show the size of the font on my phone.

I am already working on QOL for text visibility including: text size, textbox opacity and changing font back to the renpy default. :)
The text size can't be too big with the current textboxes I use, and the textboxes can't become wider given how I the character position system works. I will continue looking into ways to improve text visibility more, especially on mobile.

Thank you for all your hard work and don't forget to change the colors having a colored box for each character is cool but I think it needs to be black font I don't know You're the dev work your magic. I have seen color wheels and font sizing on some of these games/visual novels maybe you can incorporate that Ren.py is my favorite so I only do stories written by this program and I've watched videos on how to use it and kudos to you guys cuz that crap looks hard I know I can't wrap my little brain around it lol.

Thank you for your support! :)
I am comfortable with python so picking renpy was a fairly easy choice for me, and so far it's been going pretty well, I have custom systems in place that work the way I want them to, there have been a few roadblocks, but nothing too major so far.
I'll most likely be changing the textboxes entirely as I already have a menu overhaul in the works. So I'll be experimenting a lot with colors, and potential QOL options for people, which will most likely include text color. I can also look into doing a color wheel potentially.
