It's easy to understand and well explained, but it's a bit disappointing that the way it's explained is unclear whether it's a scenario or a stream of consciousness...

It was a very easy-to-follow and good lecture because you explained it step by step and made the lecture materials well-made in case you missed something. But at the end, you were really good at tracing the outline of the photo... I was surprised at how well you traced the wrinkles in the clothes...

This course teaches you how to use the Sigil program, including basic writing and formatting methods. It is designed to cover everything from simple text-based books like novels to more complex layouts incorporating various images and tables. Since the lectures generally assume a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, it is recommended that you look up any unfamiliar commands or syntax and keep track of them using comments as you follow along.

There are no explanations for those who don't know the basics of HTML, and even if you do, you'll often see mistakes. Sigil is currently at version 1.3.0, and the lecture is based on 0.7.4, so the design and functions are different, but it's not that difficult to follow, but it would have been nice if there had been additional explanations later, but there isn't. And in the beginning, there are parts where it stutters while talking and then goes somewhere else and comes back, but the coughing in the middle was not edited at all until the end. If you think of it as a video sold for money, it's insincere, but the quality is such that you should just endure it because it's free.
I don't know much about coding and HTML, so I watched the lecture as if I was listening to the radio.
But I don't think I'll be afraid the next time I make a book with Sigil.
At least I got a taste of how to do it.
Thank you for your hard work.
