    You could try splitting each row into two - title and chapter number in the first row, group name and reading list tick in the second. Something along the lines of this:

    I think it's already fine as it is now. But I don't know if my phone can be used as reference. As it is now, my phone browser agent is tablet, not mobile. So what looks fine in my phone could be not so in smaller phone with mobile as the browser agent.

    That being said, "Group" column is really important for now, because there are translation groups which specialize in quality releases, and working on remakes of a chapter that already released by faster groups.

    I like this would be good too! It would helps solve how the text wrapping causes the table in the mobile site to look clunky.

    Makhan's solution looks quite good. Please do change it one way or another though, the frontpage has an annoying tendency to get stuck in sideways scrolling mode for me.

    Yeah that's what I was talking about when I said...

    I can give it a try. I'll see if I can "pretty" it up a bit.

    I don't think I would mind not seeing the group name. An option setting to hide/display based on user preferences and browser agent wouldn't be too bad, if not too much a nightmare to code.

    Personally I think the way makhan has it in their mock up is a bit too cluttered. My mind's just not easily computing how the rows and columns work. That said, I don't really have any better suggestions.

    I like it the way it is, as i am on mobile all the time. For small screen sometimes i do have to move the screen left and right, because it seems like only with my SPlus its fully appear, but i think it doesn't distracting much. Its the matter of getting used to it.

    Sure I can still add an option to hide the group name.

    I'd prefer if you did hide it.

    I prefer to see the group name, so I can ignore machine translations. It's also good for the groups (SEO, name exposure). I think moving things around with some additional styling so novel title is the most prominent would do the job.

    You could also limit the space available for novel title and group name, so the long ones don't take 2-3 lines. Usually 2-3 words are enough to identify the novel anyway.

    I'm not a designer but I think something like this would work:
