I don't think that method will clear up the confusion by new reviewers who think it's the first chapter of a new book. I think I've had at least three reviews from newcomers to the site who thought that the chapter displayed was the first chapter. Granted they should pay closer attention. But, I think we should make it as user friendly as possible for newcomers.
I'm not sure how you can make it any more simple than having the chapter highlighted in large white characters on a blue background unless maybe you throw in a hologram with a ball bat in a threatening pose and sound that blasts out a warning should a first timer start to read/review by yelling, "Hey, You, wake up, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST CHAPTER" and then proceed to virtually beat them severely around the head and ears if they can't press three buttons in the correct sequence to confirm they wish to continue.
Okay, realistically, do you really want someone reviewing your work if they can't read the chapter number or at least figure out it is not the first chapter once they blindly start reading? That is not to mention that you can still get a good/helpful review by some who start at other than the first chapter on purpose should you not have a note requesting them not to do so, but that's another discussion. Take care. Vern

Is it not logical to assume a book contains chapters and the entire book is not going to be published at once on this site and that the latest chapter published will be the one noted in new postings and that all the other previous chapters published are there listed in numerical order in the menu denoted with the arrow within the highlighted heading of each posted chapter and if we need "older" posted books we can click on "find more books" underneath the list of "new" books which catalogues 50 or so pages of "older" books which will provide the same data as the "new" books, or are we becoming evermore addicted to some program doing such mundane observations for us? Color me perplexed and curious, not necessarily in that order. Take care. Vern

Misdirection: With, "... every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. ..." you cleverly excluded all who do not fall within that widely encompassing category, which mutually exclusive subset leads directly to the "I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world! Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!” which followed. All one word of course, lol.
