Regarding your second statement, I wrote here many times that an epub must be an epub3 with fallback code for epub2. Your simply formatted novel to me is a challenge to convert it in somethimg more elaborated, with nice chapter headings, dropcaps, fleurons, etc., etc., etc. Here you have two screenshots of a simple novel of mines:

The dropcap is controlled by javascript so always it has a perfect size (on epu3).
That looks awful. Javascript does not work in most cases. It will break and look even worse. The chapter header takes up way too much space. The dropcap also takes up too much space. Having it colored red is awful. It's a total disaster. There is no need to attempt to make complicated formatting when something simple can be done instead and look so much better.
