This one https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/43069 produced a page break per paragraph.

They update without revision history so a title linked today may be fine. It tends to be some of the shorter books with no page break. They might be copying the original as I have paper books with inline chapter breaks. Maybe to save paper during wartime?

Also the bad formatting might be only one version of format.

I convert ALL Gutenberg to remove line-height, change spaced to indented paragraphs and "smarten punctuation", but that's not manual editing.
Sometimes they use nested blockquotes instead of a single larger margin and that can break rendering.
