This librarian highly approves of table of contents pages!
There is an alternative way you can create a table of contents in Wordpress, though I don't prefer it as much, since it loads the blog posts which can make for longer loading times. If you create a Category or a Tag and make sure you mark every post for a specific story with that Category or Tag, you can actually set up a link to that category and add the /?order=asc to the end of it to get them to display in chronological order (that is, Chapter 1 first).
For example, I just use table of contents pages on my site, like this one, which use HTML to link to each post:
You would have to remember to update your table of contents after you make a new post.
But you could also do something like this. Create a Category in Wordpress and name it something pertinent for your story. When you make a new post, make sure you always have it checkmarked. I have every story for Cat Chronicles marked with the "Cat Chronicles" category in Wordpress.
So I could just make a link that looks like this:
If you look at that link, you will see that Wordpress will automatically create a page that displays all your posts in order, which may be easier for you than creating a table of contents, if you would rather go that route.
