Sorry about that. It's something probably caused by the way the downloads were done ages ago when I still used HTTrack for interactives.
It's even worse for readability now, as I mostly care about the story existing rather than being accessible, so the newer versions saved with my new method aren't linked at all, instead assuming that they will be processed to handle that before upload to some website.
I might try making a program to build a navigable version of a story at some point, but it's not a high priority at the moment due to IRL commitments.
Any coders who care enough to try are welcome to use my data-extraction code to get the chapters and links out of the html.
There should be copies of some older versions in the folder and if you care about it I can post my latest code if you ask (Everything is written in Python.)
EDIT: I'm giving it a try, the hardest part will probably be figuring out the HTML for the display page.
EDIT: I've written something basic to join the chapters together. There is no outline view or proper formatting, but it seems to work.
