Came to say exactly this. I can read it if I try hard enough to scroll exactly as the author intended, but it feels super weird.

Sometimes it scrolls down, sometimes it pages left. And if you want to go back using the browser you will have to click click click through each page!
I thought it was neat, but scrolling broke at page 4 so I had to use the widget along the left edge to get to page 5.
To the author: may I suggest you make page order vertical instead, so it is more natural to scroll; and maybe just use CSS scroll snapping to achieve the similar effect? (Also, when I scroll past the final page I don't want to be redirected to homepage automatically :-)

The idea is neat, but the implementation is a bit too over-engineered and hard to use. Hope this helps change that!
