If you want to try and see if it does improve the downloaded books, here it is. Just add all of into the personal.ini.
So far, I've avoided adding site-specific output_css settings to defaults.ini. There are trade-offs regarding sizes and colors between honoring the sites and providing uniform output for often gray scale reader devices.

I generally lean towards uniformity of output more. (To the point I DeDRM my boughten books so I can edit them to match FFF output.)

However, since I don't read storiesonline.net, I don't have a feel for how important these styles may be. Opinions welcome.

davidfor: Be aware of replace_tags_with_spans. That's the mechanism that deals with <u> etc tags that epub doesn't include.

Also, I'd be more inclined to use add_to_output_css, so existing more general customizations are still applied.
