User reviews

Users generally appreciate the extension for customizing fanfiction pronouns and names on Wattpad and AO3, which improves immersion and reduces cringe. However, many report difficulties understanding how to use it initially, especially locating the configuration button at the top of chapters. Additionally, the extension sometimes incorrectly alters parts of other words due to broad replacement rules. Some users find the design inconvenient as it requires scrolling to the top to make changes. Despite these flaws, many find it functional and valuable overall.

Pros

Effectively replaces Y/N and other placeholders with user's preferred names, enhancing reading experience.
Integrates well with Wattpad and AO3, adding a button directly on the webpage for easy configuration.
Saves changes persistently across pages and refreshes.
Simple and straightforward once users discover how to use it.
Works smoothly for most users on supported sites.

Cons

Sometimes replaces parts of other words unintentionally (e.g., 'her' changing inside 'there', or 'he' in 'the').
Not intuitive at first; many users can't initially find or understand the configuration button at the top of chapters.
Issues with special formats like brackets and italics causing unwanted replacements or failure to replace.
Design requires scrolling to the top to edit replacements, which can be inconvenient during reading.
Limited compatibility outside Wattpad and AO3 and issues with dark mode readability.

THANK YOU

It's great, but if you're wanting to use it to change pronouns it kinda messes up- I wanted to change 'she/her' to 'he/him' but as well as changing the correct words if it sees a word like 'there' because it has 'her' in it, it just changes to 'thime' which is funny but sucks to read, I hope they can try and fix this soon because other than that, it's great.

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

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
