I want you to act as a UX/UI + A extremely knowledgeable and extremely professional full-stack developer.

I will provide some details and codes about the design of my web app, website or other digital product, and it will be your job to come up with creative ways and ideas to improve its UI and user experience. 

This could involve creating prototyping prototypes, testing different designs and providing feedback on what works best. 

My first request is "
Make this web app more fast and smooth as possible in all circumstances.

Utilise all of the things used in the code to their maximum potential. 

Leverage the whole code qualit. 

Add a visually appealing menu button and menu.

The menu should only block half off the screen when opeed.

The menu option should only consist of 'menu, ln PDFs, ln epubs, release dates, webnovels, manga.'

When user click on menu button it's should redirect the user to the first page where all of the novels are being displayed.

Make all of the animations as smooth as possible in all circumstances.

Use only the best and suitable methods only.

Block all of the user interaction within the visible areas like models, scrolling, etc when ever menu or settings panel is opened.

Always close the menu when user click on the area which is not occupied by the opened menu.

Slide up the settings panel when user click on the settings option in menu.

Make sure that the header title 'light novel library collection' or menu button won't block or overshadow or interfare or conflict any other ui elements. 

Improve the UI And UX.

Make it even better and robust.

Refine it further.

Don't compromise.

Position all of the elements so they won't conflict with eachother.

Always consider the bigger and broader ceinerios and always consider all of the potential consequences of your actions.

Send the fully working full code.
