I see there was a heated argument regarding text formatting, lol, may I suggest something? Actually, I'm gonna suggest it anyway and you can do whatever with it, ignore or not.
I don't have anything against bold or italic, but, in my humble opinion, it would actually work best if the chapters would be plain text, no formatting whatsoever. There are things you might want to emphasize in later chapters, a word, a phrase, a conversation over text etc, in which case italic does the trick. Forget about bold, it does a terrible job on emphasizing (except for when it's used by minamoto, ofc) as it distracts the reader and instead of getting to the surprising thing we already see it a mile away and it defeats the purpose.
P.S.: why are the chapters so short? This one is a little over 200 words.
