essentially a boolean "First page is openleft/openright" flag for double page readers which will centre the given page.

centered: 0 = pages are always shown as double paged mode if possible (eg page 1 + 2 are both portrait with a tall aspect ratio).
centered: 1 = first page is shown centred; useful for title pages.
centered: n = the nth page will be shown centred if the user has not adjusted the offset.

this will have no effect on single paged modes and should be disabled on webtoon/long strip entirely.

it can be a flag on its own or be a title appendage (eg U+10 U+200C U+0000-0255) but the database level implementation doesn't exactly matter.

goes into some technical details (mostly based on book typesetting and alike) at this point. just ignore if it makes no sense to you unless you want to implement it.

note that there should be some form of penalty for misuse of it; eg if the first page is an attribution page and is centred where the second page is an close side title page and should be centred but is on the open side and specifically move in to a close side page; some penalty should be awarded; but will be left to the discretion of the moderator team. An example might be a first/second strike warning and a tertiary selection restriction or so on.

... and so on
