Great! Fantastic! BUT..... Dev -- PLEASE -- put in the description that it puts the big ol' orange box at the TOP of the chapter for you to update your preferred name into. I was in the middle of the chapter when I got tired of seeing Y/N and found this extension. I took 10m trying to figure out how on earth to actually use it and came across another comment saying they felt stupid for not seeing it. We aren't stupid, y'all! We're just not aware. lol
