I’ve noticed that some people don’t even rate the manga that they read. They just add it to their “already read” section.
Some people includes me
The reason why the "Oni to Tengoku" prequel only got 169 votes is because back in 2021, Mangago reset it to 0 or altered it to be lower. Every comic back then got reset or altered because the authors kept posting this site on Twitter and pointing out how much this illegal site had a lot of readers. Also, back then, you could see how many people viewed a manga, and there were over 500k+ people who viewed it, which the authors would also point out. So then, Mangago had to remove it.
example, this manhwa had 15k votes before but now it only has 500+

Oh wow that explains a lot. I forgot there used to be a time where a manga would get over a thousand ratings
damn see i thought some series were relatively unpopular and mangago wasnt that big LMFAO ive only been on this site for 2 years so idk all the lore although it makes sense not to show the true numbers for the sake of the authors. thanks for the info!
are the mangago ratings accurate or is my site tweaking? backlight has only 167 votes but it has over 100 pages of comments while oni to tengoku kyuu which is a sequel has over 500 votes?? im confused
