Too many ads. Ads that are large. Ads that are videos. I am privileged enough to have a connection that can serve up the content with all of those ads. But I'm not privileged with the patience to read anything on that site.
If you don't want to host your own blog, consider putting it on github.
There is an alternative front end for fandom.com called BreezeWiki. It is open source (written in Racket!), and like with other open source alternative front ends, volunteers run their own instances. Here is the story link on one instance:

In this case, though, the annoyance is so great that the GP is the top comment right now.
Fandom/Wikia is so bad that I have to use lynx or something like textise.net to browse it on mobile without uBlock Origin.
I personally use Fennec with uBlock on mobile.
My addon collection for Firefox nightly consists of ublock origin, cookie quick manager, and bypass paywalls clean. Here's the custom collection info for anybody who wants to use it:

I don't see a single ad getting through my adblock.
Sounds like you'd benefit from adblock. I've used the Steven Black adblock host list [0] for some time now on all my PCs and it works extremely well.
