I love this site, like genuinely, I live here.
But just because I enjoy something doesn’t mean it can’t be better!
I want a fourth button, after reading, read, and want to read.
Desperately I want a skip button??? Or a pass button??? Banished??? or a ive read the summary and I don’t want to have to read it again cause I have a goldfish brain and pretty covers clickbait me repeatedly???
So I want a section that I can just- call it the shadow realm button. I’m sure some sick fucks would love to see what sick fucks banish to the shadow realm, even better once you banish something it doesn’t return to the recommended for you.
What other features are y’all daydreaming between scrolling?
Sort by rating, sort by manga/manhwa/manhua (I know we have the sort webtoons for now), better tagging or reviewed trigger warnings, starring and accessing favorites. Also I know the site is recovering from being broken, but the categories (yaoi stories in shounen ai category for example) and marking stories as ongoing/completed need to be better maintained.
How do you use the rating system on an individual/personal approach?
Ratings are important to me, cause I enjoy revisiting things I’ve read before. I found that this approach the most helpful, instead of being a critic, without thinking too hard lol
: there’s something that I hate about this
: there’s something I dislike about this
: rather neutral, mixed bag, unsure, meh
: there’s something that I like about this
:there’s something I love about this
Really want a zero for killing recs, and 6 star for boosting recommendations.
For me, I definitely don’t think I’m doing it right but I typically just do 5 star ratings for the boosting recommendations. The jump between 4 and 5 stars seems too drastic for me, with 5 stars basically rating it a 10.0 and 4 stars rating it a 8.0, so I typically leave my normal 4 star ones with no rating to not drop the rating if that makes sense. I only rate 4 stars if I really do think they are like a 8.0 rating, but overall, I usually do 5 star or no rating. Very rarely do I do anything below that because I probably dropped it before even getting that deep into it.
It’s not the worst approach either because when going back and looking at my lists, I know which ones that stood out to me and really enjoyed because they made me want to boost them and give them a 5 star rating :D
I rarely rate, and Always 5*.
The problem is that when you look at the average, below 9.1 is "bad".
And many stories with 9.1-9.4 don't deserve it.
So I only rate the 8-8.9 that the idiots sank because it's different or the 9.5+ which are really, really good.
i usually put one star when i think there is something genuinely twisted about it like cp or proship stuff, and 5 stars when i think it deserves the world. no in between lol
