My partner loves light novels with vertical text. Finding an app that supports vertical writing direction AND is customizable for that mode is a challenge. Google Play Books handles vertical text fine, but its customization is limited. Moon+ can do it with some plugin fiddling, but it's not straightforward.
After my eyesight changed, customization became a necessity, not a luxury. I needed ultra-high contrast with specific RGB values. Most apps' 'dark mode' was still too gray. FBReader with its advanced color picker was the only one that let me set a true #000000 black background with pure white text without any tint. It made reading possible again.
I like to set different themes for different genres. A stark, modern font for sci-fi. A classic serif with sepia for historical fiction. Having to manually switch is a pain. The dream is an app that lets you assign a theme to a genre or tag automatically. No app does this natively, but you can approximate it with profiles in some.
For me, the answer isn't one app but a combo: I use Moon+ Reader for its layout engine and then pair it with a system-wide screen dimmer app for fine-tuning color temperature beyond what any reading app provides. No single app has given me that perfect 'midnight in a old library' amber on its own, but this workflow gets me there.
I need my app to sync reading position, but also my custom themes, across devices. This is where the big ecosystems fail. Moon+ syncs via Dropbox, but it's fiddly. I've resigned myself to using less-customizable apps like Kindle or Kobo because the seamless sync of my exact place and formatting is worth the trade-off.

A witch who has lived for thousands of years has grown bored with her own life and decided to leave it. Since she is an immortal, her soul cannot leave the world.
However, what she can do is transfer her soul to another body.
By a stroke of luck, she happens to enter the body of a princess.
She was considered a miracle because when the Empress gave birth to her, the princess instantly died, along with the Empress.
What the witch didn't know was that she has entered such a predicament.
She has to endure the love of the cruel Emperor and possessiveness of the crazy twin princes!
What will her life be at the hands of such a loving family?
In addition, it seems that this body contains mana that was lost in the royal family centuries ago!
When the apocalypse came, she lost everything. Starving, hunted, and desperate, she trusted the one man she loved… only for him to betray her in the cruelest way possible. He stole her last supplies to please another woman and left her to die in a sea of the undead.
But death wasn’t the end.
She woke up days before the world collapsed.
After cutting ties with her ungrateful ex and his parasitic family, a mysterious voice awakens in her mind, LUS, a Level-Up System designed to help her survive the coming end.
With knowledge of the future and a system guiding her every move, she begins to prepare. She stockpiles resources, builds a base, and learns how to fight back against the horrors that once destroyed her.
And when the apocalypse arrives again… she’s ready. But survival isn’t the only thing waiting for her in this new life.
A silent killer who watches her like prey.
A manipulative genius who wants to unravel her secrets.
A gentle protector who sees the girl she hides.
And a dangerous man who thrives in chaos.
As the world burns and power shifts, they’re all drawn to her, each with their own motives, each with their own darkness. Even her past refuses to stay buried.
Because now, the man who once abandoned her is back, broken, desperate, and begging for a second chance. Too bad she has no time for regrets.
Not when she’s busy rising to power… and building a kingdom in the ruins of the world.

Elina thought she had hit rock bottom.
She lost her job. Her therapy session dredged up memories of the ex-boyfriend who stalked and traumatized her. The only thing she had left to look forward to was the finale of her favorite fantasy series, Moonbound Faith.
Then the show ended.
The heroes won. The villain died. Everyone got their happily-ever-after.
That same night, a knock at her door shatters what little peace she has left.
Her ex is standing outside.
The man who was supposed to be in prison.
Forced to flee into a storm, Elina runs until she reaches the edge of a cliff with nowhere left to go. Faced with a choice between death and returning to the man who destroyed her life, she jumps.
But instead of dying, she wakes up inside Moonbound Faith.
Not as the heroine.
Not as a side character.
But as Luna—the infamous villainess whose tragic death she celebrated only hours before.
Determined to survive, Elina plans to use her knowledge of the story to change her fate. But everything she thought she knew begins to unravel when a small boy tugs on her sleeve and calls her one word:
“Mom.”
The original story never mentioned a child.
And when Elina uncovers the truth behind his existence, she realizes something terrifying.
The villainess was never the villain.
The story lied.
And the ending she remembers may not be the ending waiting for her at all.

Dropped Into a NSFW Novel and Immediately Became His Obsession

I woke up inside a novel, and not even as an important character.
I became a pretty background extra in a smut novel.
My brother, however, was the only normal person in the entire story.
His character setting was the one man the soft, delicate heroine could never win over.
He was the cold, unattainable Prince Charming she could never conquer.
When the heroine cried and confessed her love, he was studying.
When she offered him her whole heart and body, he was busy starting a company.
When she spiraled into scandals and nightlife, he was already a billionaire, calm and untouchable.
I thought he would live a quiet, ascetic life forever.
Until one night, I walked in on him at midnight…
holding a piece of clothing I recognized all too well, murmuring a name over and over, a name so familiar that my scalp tingled.
After transmigrating through three novels in a row, the hardest thing I ever suffer through is drinking iced long black. But when I open my eyes again, I somehow become the pathetic simp side character in a trashy romance novel.
Just as I debate whether to file a complaint against the system, the trembling system hurriedly explains something to me.
Although this is a trashy romance novel, it is also an unfinished abandoned novel.
I ask, "So you're saying I decide how the story develops?"
The system replied, "Yes. Everything is completely under your control."
Satisfied, I lazily stretch and begin checking the original Jacob's background. He has a trillionaire father and a billionaire mother. On top of that, he has seven rich and beautiful older sisters.
With such a ridiculously overpowered setup, how can he go around simping for a broke college girl with no money?
What a complete waste!
I get the appeal of tons of options, but sometimes it backfires. I tried an app that let me set a custom page-turn sound. I set it to a soft paper rustle. It was cool for a day, then deeply annoying. Now I just want silence and a clean page transition. The best 'customization' for me is an app that gets out of the way. That's why I keep coming back to the simple ones like ReadEra or even the basic Books app. They let me change the font and background, and that's it. My brain can focus on the story, not the settings menu.
For a pure, no-frills, but highly configurable experience on Windows, try the STDU Viewer. It's primarily for PDF, TIFF, and DJVU, but its rendering options are incredibly detailed. You can adjust color modes for monochrome displays, fine-tune contrast and brightness for scanned docs, and set custom color mappings. It's niche, but for the right document type, it offers customization others don't touch.
