I finally sent the devs an email because I don’t have a single manga/manhwa restored in my lists even after both passes, and I wanted to clarify my situation.

Part of their response to my inquiry was: “We can only get the manga back if you rated or added tags when added manga to your list."

I’ve since sent a reply asking whether this basically means that for people who didn’t rate the manga/manhwa they added to their list (such as myself), they’re gone forever and can’t be restored. I’m still waiting for a reply, but I understand they’re probably dealing with a lot at the moment.

I just wanted to bring this up here in case there’s information about this that I’m not aware of. A few days ago I was told that non-rated manga are being done later. However, based on the devs reply, is there really no more hope for those of us that never rated any of the mangas/manhwas they read?


UPDATE:
Just for everyone's information this was the complete reply that I received from the devs (along with the part I shared earlier):

"I'm sorry, one of our data disk was crashed, we lost part of the data of users several days ago, but we still can restore part of the data from rating and tags. we can only get the manga back if you rated or added tags when added manga to your list"

    Fantasyreader February 4, 2026 11:36 am

    Oh no hopefully not I was thinking the same after the last few days with no other updates. Surely there's some way that non rated ones could be restored aswell. Could you reply if you hear anything else back from them hopefully better news!

    mitsuminu February 4, 2026 11:36 am

    bro hopefully they restore unrated ones cuz i have thousands on these lists and rated none

    sakurakou February 4, 2026 11:37 am

    I just checked my lists and they not back only some of the I want to read list came back but this not even half of them, the already read and reading didn't came back so does this mean that's it??

    Bubble February 4, 2026 11:39 am

    Yeah, someone got the same response a day or so ago. But they said they just wouldn't restore it - not that they couldn't. I wish if people sent emails they would share accurately quotes information instead of paraphrases because it leaves more speculation - especially when people already have some non-rated manga restored.

    Quatre February 4, 2026 11:42 am

    That sucks. Most of my currently reading weren't tagged or rated. I wait till I finish it or at least the first season ends before I add tags/ ratings

    rukiamara February 4, 2026 11:43 am

    what?! majority of my lists were not rated, as I rate only once completed or reread!! I have no words!

    Animeluver1310 February 4, 2026 12:13 pm

    heres my convo with them

    Yeah here’s how the convo went——

    Me: Hi. I know you guys are working hard to help everyone get their manga back since the lists have been erased but I have a serious question. If we didnt rate the manga and just added it to the already read, reading and want to read lists, will we get them back?
    Some people said that it’s actually up till 2023 that stuff has come back but I’ve been saving stuff since about 2016-2017. And only three things have come back. Everyone is confused and panicking and I just want some personal clarity for myself.

    Thank you in advance.


    Dev: the manga which be rated or add tags can come back.


    Me: So no other manga will come back unless we rated them or added tags?


    Dev: yes

    —— end convo ——

    I got a few reading lists but they are misplaced and still haven't got all of them back.

    Alikat February 4, 2026 12:52 pm

    I had over +2000 and the only ones I have gotten back are the ones I have rated, which is 31. I rarely rate manga because I’m lazy. I really hope they are not gone forever. I had this account since 2014.

    sapphire February 4, 2026 12:53 pm

    i kinda had a feeling that was the case, since the only manga/manhwa coming back are the ones i rated—and i’ve only rated like 100 out of 800+ on my list. i guess i'll just make peace with losing 6 years worth of lists...

    Leilei February 4, 2026 1:35 pm

    This is devastating. I've been adding manga daily to my currently reading and already read since 2018 !!!

But didn't update it after. I still don't want to add anything back until it's confirmed any fixing is 100% done. If nothing else comes back, hopefully I'll remember some random titles I've missed saving in Excel hahahhahahah

    SpadezyMex February 4, 2026 3:18 pm

    Ain't no way they telling me to add everything again, I got 600+ wanting to read, 500+ reading and 100+ finished reading.. that's almost 1K and it's already been stacked for years T^T

    i never ever used the tags, only when i pressed them on accident. i got a few titles back, all in my want to read list, all of them are tagged. i had over 5000 entries combined in want, read, reading, like 95% weren't tagged, really really hoping the des find a way to restore all entries, even the untagged ones, now i'll be tagging everything once i'm adding the titles back and maintenance is truly done >.<

    Tbh I don't think it can. Theres too much contrasting information - some people claiming they have non-rated back, devs saying they cant restore it (I think if they genuinely can't, it would make more sense - if they just don't want to, it wouldn't make sense to restore our rated stuff too lol)

    I'm personally waiting it out. My friend emailed asking if it's okay to change our lists so as soon as she gets a response, if it's a green light I'm just gonna continue as normal. Not like anyone can help it, it was sudden and unexpected and it's not really their fault like some people are saying.

    This is what I found on another forum. Hope it helps.

    ● I ADDED NEW MANGAS TO MY EMPTY LIST, WILL IT OVERWRITE THE OLD ONE
    - if you ADD NEW mangas while the site is restoring, your new list will stay. And your original list will be added back on top of it once its fully restored. But if you RE-ADD EXISTING mangas, it will update the original date of when the manga was added, tags, and summaries/little notes you originally had for it. its usually best to wait and let the restoration finish before making lots of changes

    How do you find your comments

    nerdandgeek February 4, 2026 10:02 pm

    Here is the thing, I think the devs should make a God damned post explaining things, not people who think they know what is going on. This just creates confusion, and misinformation, of course people are going to be mad or worried about something they put 10 years in (in my case). So they should have made a statement themselves from the fucking beginning. Now if it crashed, unless they backed it up somewhere else its lost, there is no moving it.

    Now in my case: I got a lot back but some of my "to read" and "reading" are hidden in my "reading list", even if they are not rated, still some are not even back. My advice just put them there again, even if the time stamps moves. Its still going to be wonky anyways. And check your lists created by you (with your titles), mine are back and I have titles there that I am moving to my reading and to read list.

    February 5, 2026 2:48 am

    That genuinely sucks so bad. I used this site exclusively because i liked having my a list and the ability to see how much i have read. I litterally only ever rated 2 mangas on accident and those are the only ones i have gotten back and it kinda gave me hope that they still had my data. It's kinda silly to be upset at a piracy site malfunction and i shouod have definitely had a backup but even when i tried moving my list to MAL a while back i gave up because most of the manga wasnt even on it but i kinda wish i added whatever i could anyways

I literally kind of gave up but then a few friends of mine helped me calm down and are literally now staying up with me to add all my stuff back (or at least what I remembered.

    Do you think it’s for sure that anything not rated or tagged won’t be returning to our lists? Like should we just move on and restart?

    Well.. I have rated a lot of Manhwa / webtoon and atm mostly manga were brought back to my already read. Which means they haven't gotten to mine yet. So I will wait. Also.
    If u check my already read a lot were not rated or tagged but were also brought back.. I dunno which to believe anymore so I'll give them a month. March comes I'll re add titles. Sigh...

    Yall im actually gonna crash out. I had roughly around 8k+ manga and barely any of them have tags or ratings. 6 years of data down the drain this genuinely makes me not even want to keep reading. I had like 5k ... Beaner

    this is me right now. i’ve had this account since 2019 and have read over 2000k+ mangas and now it’s all gone and down in the drain. luckily i’ve started making backups of my list since 2021 but it really makes me unmotivated to even read anything now. :(

    Had this account since 2014. I'm so unmotivated at this point. Had more than 20k titles on my read lists. All the reviews I wrote, the recaps for the ongoing ones, since I don't like to re read, all gone. This mess took pretty much everything lol. I'm just not up to it to re read everything. Efforts wasted. It was a good site. Still hoping but otherwise I'm keeping myself busy with gaming cuz I feel depressed looking at my lists.

    kidlele93 February 8, 2026 5:12 am

    I’ve never added to my lists. I’ve only kept my mangas in reading, already read, and want to read. Does this mean all of the ones in those sections are no longer saved? I have to remember all of my mangas?????

    oh... thank you for asking the dev and relying the info here. it's really sad that many people lost thousands on their list. but it's kinda sad that there wasnt any official statement regarding the inability to restore some of the data... i only wish they were transparent about this instead of leaving us hanging without answer....

    i totally get this. it actually makes me so sad as i had so much and i don't even remember what 99% were even called. now i had to go through 10+ years of manga to even hope i can find all of them again. my list of 10 years are gone and i almost just wanna cry.

    Pesky33 February 8, 2026 10:54 pm
    I'm just creating a book mark tab in my browser to backup everything as I go. And retrace my steps to find the ones I was reading Quatre

    You might already know, so apologies if not, but there’s a way to bookmark where you are in the manga on the page. I only mention it because it’s harder to see on mobiles I think

    Hayashida February 9, 2026 2:10 am
    i kinda had a feeling that was the case, since the only manga/manhwa coming back are the ones i rated—and i’ve only rated like 100 out of 800+ on my list. i guess i'll just make peace with losing 6 years wo... sapphire

    No joke it’s draining…. This is the second time for me to loose everything first with an app years ago and now here at least the app send a message saying they were going to stop and switch to a different format and we could back up the manga we had (bcz it was a monthly paid subscription) but after a couple of years the back ups stopped working also.

    You are sooo lucky! I had thousands of titles and tagged only 5, rated 45. And this is what I have right. No more, no less. It's frustrating!

    CosySloth February 9, 2026 11:27 pm

    The irony that the ONLY times I tagged a manga was if I wanted to let myself know I didn't like it and tagged "Do not read".
    So the only mangas that came through for me and ones I hated (/TДT)/

    For my reading list I didn't tag or rate anything because I wasn't done with them yet but I would always save the reading with a comment saying what chapter I left off of...does that help get them back?

    I’m afraid not, comments aren’t coming back, at least not yet. Have you ever used bookmarks instead of leaving a comment? My bookmarks never disappeared, and after these last couple of weeks it seems it’s a feature on here that people don’t seem to realise.

    Nope, some of my titles where I commented the chapter I left off but not tagged didn't come back. I think the deciding factor is if you've tagged something.

    I rarely rate mangas, which means that 97% or more of my list is basically gone just because of itsnot rated or tagged. I honestly hope they'll restore it at some point if they can. It wasn't easy to find a lot of the mangas I had on mt lists. ;;

    I noticed that mangas on recommendation lists are completely unaffected. I suppose it's time to change strategy and add new titles to reading lists and recommendations, as well as rate, tag, and leave at least a single comment.

    (just ranting here, an 8 yrs user of mangago)
    saying “We can only get the manga back if you rated or added tags when added manga to your list."

    dats bs there are still a lot people with rated/tagged and marked books that are still missing or not fixed yet and that includes me. i only got 2 mangas that i get updated back at feb2-3 but it was put in my “i already read” list and not it my “i’m reading” list or tagged as “waiting for the next update”. my “i’m reading” list still empty and i only got 1k+ in my “i want to read” and only 26 in my “i already read”.

    At this point they may as well tell us straight what happened. Usually, a website would also have backup servers in case something like this happens, unless they don't have the funds for it, but even hosts provide backups these days.

    I had over 1k, if not almost 2k, or over, titles on my reading lists. Very few tagged and rated. The fact that I barely got 40 back, not even in the correct list is annoying.

    Yeah, mistakes happen & yeah it's hard to predict something like this could've happened. But you know what? This was an unacceptable way to handle an issue on the website's end & telling people not to react is absolute BS. Saying we should be grateful because "it's free" is the same as saying the website should be grateful it HAS any foot traffic / readers using their site. It's just a shoddy thing to react with towards people that were happy to be here & enjoyed using the site until this F-up nobody wants to be accountable for.

I totally don't feel like doing it again... Like you said... extremely dissapointing...

Hi, anybody here whose account was made in 2021 not have their lists back yet?

I was under the impression that they were restoring older to newer accounts, I've already seen accounts made in 2021 with lists back on their profile already but mine still hasn't come around I was wondering if anyone is having the same issue?

When the site just came back, I didn't quite know what was happening yet so I added one manhwa to my reading list (just one though). Could that be messing up with my account's list restoration?

    It shouldn't really impact it tbh, I added hundreds of mine back in a panic and my already read list returned. There are several possible reasons - non-rated manga are being done later, their focus is rated manga right now, you could've been missed on the first pass which finished last night, in which case it might restore on the second pass which is any time now.

    It could be bc your stories weren't rated. That's the case for me, only the ones I accidentally rated have re appeared

    Oh! It is important to say to try not add any more manga during the restoration progress though, lots of changes may cause issues :) if you read any manga add it to a newly created list, bookmark it or save the links on a Google doc or notes app

    Yes, I haven't added anything besides that one manhwa because I was just confused as to why it was no longer included in my reading list.

    Just to be clear though, when talking about lists, we're pertaining to the ones labeled as "I want to read, I'm reading , and I already read" right? And not the other lists where you have a custom title?

    Also thank you very much for your reply! It's starting to make more sense to me now.

    Oh that makes so much sense because I never rate the mangas or manhwas I read!

    I made my account in 2016 and I still haven't gotten everything back yet so I wouldn't stress too much
