Are we sure it is done...? All the manhwas that i rated have beed added to my already read (even those that were in my reading category) and every single one that i havent rated wasnt added there. Ive had around 800 already read manhwas and only 63 were added... (ive recently marked 14 as already read myself)
is this a random ass person? do they have no affiliation with the site? why am i reassured by a random ass person? i'm not sure why you're being rude about asking for more clarification. it's all really quite unclear like, if it's like reading a book- was my page in the book skipped over? and hopefully it won't be skipped during the 'reread'? or is this process not actually as it was described as a book being read in order and something else is happening. i was told to anticipate it a certain way and it didn't come out quite that way. so it makes a lot of sense people are reading these posts and faq and are still confused. we are reading 'if you started logging on x date your lists are coming back' and then seeing they aren't back despite having logged on x date, i don't think it's right to scold people for still being confused and asking for more clarification.
i posted a popcorn analogy in one of the comments earlier. maybe this will help you understand
This restoration process is not manual. It's like putting a popcorn bag (our manga data) into the microwave (the system running the data). We're all just waiting for the microwave to pop all kernels and go beep(aka add all mangas back). its taking a while because its only popping (aka restoring) them one by one.
the reason why it cant pop ALL kernels AT ONCE is because, imagine a single home microwave trying to cook 5 trucks of popcorn bags. increasing the microwave's temperature (aka increasing the restoration speed) wont cook all that volume. its physically impossible to fit everything inside and trying to do so would just make the microwave overheat (aka overload the servers which would cause site to go down again)
now why do we need to make several runs? notice that when we cook a popcorn bag, not all kernels pop the first time? we have to pour those unpopped kernels into another bowl and put back into the microwave to make sure they pop. thats why the system has to run multiple passes. its to catch what didnt pop (aka didnt restore correctly) during the previous run.
I hope this made it easier to understand and didnt confuse your further
Considering this site is FREE (and not you know…l3gal…) I really do think a lot of people are being unreasonable in their expectations. There’s a literal fuckton of information to be sorted, and it’s really very unimportant at the end of the day. Life really is too short to care this much about whether your manga list repopulates. I’m annoyed my lists are gone but it’s not like I’ve paid anything to use the site so I’ve never had expectations about how long it would last. I’m just getting frustrated with the forums now and not at the site.
ahh youre following the book analogy. if you read the FAQs, thats been mentioned there:
"If your lists are still completely EMPTY, there are 2 possible reasons:
One is that its about “activity”, not account age. So even if you joined in 2016, but you didnt add any manga until 2023, your list wont appear until the system reaches the timestamps for 2023. The second reason is, since the system is very busy right now, it sometimes hits a blurry page and has to skip to keep moving. This doesnt mean your data is gone. It just means the system needs to go back for a second run once the "main reading" is done"
You’re helping so much and people are STILL expecting more. It drives me bananas on your behalf. They seem to think you’re a dev/mod or even maybe you’re being paid. They need to show some respect for what you’re doing not complain you’re giving incorrect time scales what the actual fuck. People are so entitled

AND THE FIRST RUN IS DONE!!
From here on out Mgo should make several runs to load everyone's data correctly and apply bug fixes, so dont worry if your list is still missing some. A full second pass could push it to Feb 4–5, but a partial cleanup run would likely finish around Feb 2–3.
Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. Its best to give it at least 2 weeks from now. If after everything finishes and youre still seeing clear errors in your marked mangas, report them to [email protected]
If possible, keep a small log of your observations and what you did, such as:
⠀⠀⠀*whether you re-added, edited, or deleted mangas during restoration
⠀⠀⠀*any repeated issues (random logouts, missing notifs, errors, etc.)
⠀⠀⠀*the other specific errors you noticed
Simply put, keep a log of WHAT YOU DID/OBSERVED and WHEN (use GMT or if in your local time, specify your timezone). The more specific your report is, the easier it is for the devs to trace what went wrong. It helps them replicate your actions so they can actually find and fix the problem
Here's an example log:
2026-01-26 9PM: I noticed my list went missing
2026-01-28 2AM: my list is restoring up to 67
2026-01-28 9PM: I added 10 mangas to my Already Read
2026-01-30 6PM: my restored mangas is stuck at 67
2026-01-31 10AM: my list count is increasing again it restored up to 83
2026-01-31 7PM: I added 3 mangas to my Want to Read
