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)

You’re truly too kind!
Thanks for being here for the community

this process is really confusing. the only things that returned for me were the few I left ratings on, and since i've had this account for quite a few years and have been logging for quite a few years I guess I expected things to come back at the time you said they would.

read the post again my guy

I get u
I only got 2 back to my list so far but let’s just wait patiently for now that’s all we can do tbh

they js said the first run was done my guy did you read it

yall are really putting your expectations on some random ass person trying to give you reassurance it’ll return like fuuuck..can we be happy we have this information on the first place ??? like wtf

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.

??? they state that in the very beginning of their FAQ you clearly did not reaaaad like fuuuck if you look into the threads they’ve posted it answers literally everything you’re asking!!!!!! #GOREAD i’m not scolding you i’m typing this in a very calm and beautiful tone

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

They’ve never given a timescale for full return. They said the first pass would take a week which it has!

this makes a litttttle more sense. i appreciate you trying another analogy.

╥﹏╥ lmao just know that youre not alone in whatever youre feeling right now

I see you and appreciate you man

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.

the people on here genuinely drive me crazy thank you suujin kisses you

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

There’s people these last week who’ve shown me not everyone here is terrible so that’s one thing

i know u said its done but i feel like everybody has gotten back their already read and everything but mine is still 0 and i started adding my stories in 2023… im scared

this is my third account because i tweaked out on my other two like fuuuck they drove me crazy #BLESS seeing a smart person is genuinely a blessing here

nvm mayb they skip me hopefully the second run they will not skip me

thats the exact purpose for the second and other succeeding runs. its to make sure everyone gets all of their mangas back

Well I’m 50 and I literally feel like this site is full of toddlers at the minute so seeing people as frustrated as I feel was a true blessing

the issue was they missed the "several runs" part which i clearly mentioned in all of my posts (FAQs, updates, answer commented, etc). They just expected that after we get to the most recent date then the whole restoration process is finished. thats why theyre confused

thank you ╥﹏╥ and i feel you. the older i get the more i relate to squidward

YOURE 50??? #HOWYOUNGDOYOUGO

If it helps you, I haven’t got my lists back either. I’m allowing a couple of weeks to settle and then I’ll email the address given in the post.

sorry chat i was just nervous because some people have already over 1k on their profiles...imma hold my nerves until yall will be saying its over and then see how it is i believe in our mods ╥﹏╥

nah youre good

Thank you for keeping us updated suujin! If I am to be honest my hopes and dreams are so thin right now cus I have almost 0 restoration progress so far. I’m 100% confident that I started marking works since 2021 and none has come back. On top of that I heard from somewhere that our lists wouldn’t come back unless we added tags or rated them. If that’s truly the case then ig it makes sense for mine to have like no progress at all lol. I’m keeping my expectations rlly rlly low :((((

Thank you.nWonderful human being.I was out here stressed... And I still haven't , because I don't remember the good stuff nor the names but if this means the web is gonna be better , I was suck it up

LMFAOOOOOOO i know some of y’all are impatient as hell but PLEASE let suujin BREATHE all the info is literally THERE—scroll your screen, click what needs to be clicked, and READ. AND. COMPREHEND out of THOUSANDS, only ONE came back to me (and it’s one i rated), so to everyone who keeps asking the SAME questions over and over like the answers aren’t already there—PLEASE ( ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

ps; thank you for your continuous update, suujin! you’re very appreciated! ^^

Same...

I only have 2 mangas return.....then I added some myself but nothing more has come back

https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21155166/

Ah shit

is it true that only if u rated the manga and such thn u will get it back ? ( ps, if its trye im dead cus i nvr rated any of the mangas )

How young? Eh?? I have no idea what you mean

me + U

Are the notifications going to come back? Have they worked for anyone else that redid their list? I redid mine but I wanted to prepare myself in case they dont work and stuff

No idea .. I got 204 manga back just randomly scrambled in already read section and I'm getting notifications
But I still don't want to touch my lists until someone officially confirms we are all screwd

Thanks so much for the info!! You have been a HUGE life saver <3… I do have a question about ratings? I never rated or tagged any of my manga and none have retuned… this account is VERY new but I checked my old account and the only manga retuned to the list there was one I had rated. I’ve seen some people say that the devs won’t be able to retrieve lost marked mangas without tags or ratings and wanted to know your thoughts?

I had over a thousand in each category and am wondering if waiting might not do anything and if I should start rebuilding my lists block by block…

Hello! When are we getting a second run?

Notifications are working!

I know

I think I have all what I already read, what I'm reading is bookmarked fortunately, but I lost all what I want to read xD that suck kinda but I believe it will pop back, I hope, if not... ╮(￣▽￣)╭ whatever I will remember some of them and what I forgot wasn't that interesting I guess xd I'm just glad I have page where I can read for free ╮(￣▽￣)╭

is there going to be a second run and are our notes going to come back too cuz i always wrote what chapter i was on
if not, i may consider making a new account just to start over

Unrelated to the issue but have you thought about using bookmarks instead of notes for where you’re up to? My bookmarks weren’t erased so I’ve been able to find a lot of stuff that way

i havent actually, maybe i should do that after this is done

I’m always surprised people don’t know about that feature bur I’m thinking it might be more prominent when using different devices? I read on my iPad browser and it’s really obvious

Are there any news on the second run?

i did know about the feature i just never used it lol

╥﹏╥ i don't understand what is happening I got my want to read like half back but not already read so i checked and it looks like all of them are my already read what is happening do I have to mark them as all already read again??? I did for a few but I am not sure what is happening

I got one bookmarked story back from 2023; otherwise, I only see the stories I marked after they were deleted by the crash. How likely is it that I'll get everything else back and corrected? I haven't saved all of my 500+ stories yet, but if the chances of it being fixed are very slim, I'll start doing that.
I'm just glad that everything is working again on the site and hope I haven't forgotten to bookmark any stories and lost them.

I've seen people saying that due to a "disk issue" only the manga that were rated or tagged in the lists are being restored.

Would it be fair to assume that manga without ratings or tags are these "blurry pages" and being skipped then? I have all the time in the world to wait if it's just a matter of waiting, but if our untagged stuff is gone

I've seen some people saying that due to a "disk issue" only manga with rating of tags in your list will be restored and everything else is lost.

Is it fair to assume that manga without tags or rating are just these "blurry pages" you mentioned and will simply need a second pass? Myself and my friends all only got back manga that's rated/tagged. If it's just a matter of waiting then I have all the time in the world to wait.

Hah fair enough! I use it so much I can’t imagine not using it

Is there any update on the second run or any other run? Its been 2 weeks since the first run ended

I'd like to know that too cuz only like half of my already-read list is back and my want-to-read or reading list barely changed after the first run ╥﹏╥

Can we please get an update? Any news, good or bad, would be extremely appreciated

Mine still hasn't been restored

And it won't be. Only marked stuff came back and that's it

Hello I haven’t been active in magago, are they still trying to retrieve people’s lists? Was my account going to be glossed over because of inactivity?

At this point I know I have to accept that I’m not getting my current reads back but I’m ngl I’m DEVESTAED years and years of ongoings GONE

It's hard to accept that

They aren't trying to bring back anything anymore, and it has nothing to do with inactivity of your account. Some memory disc crashed and they lost our data. Restored titles are the ones you tagged or rated and that's it. Only way for you to get your titles back is to manually add them to your lists again. And while doing that try to rate and tag them so if this happens again there's more chance for you to be able to get it back again. It's really unfortunate, but there's nothing else to be done ://

Is there any update bcs its been 4 months

Pookie I've heard sum ppl say that they've done what they could, idk at this point I'm on the last stage of grief for my lost manga lists #－.－)

No, and there won't be the one. Only thing people got back are rated or tagged titles. Everything outside of that is lost and only way is for you to rebuild your lists. I started doing that like 3 months ago and everything works perfectly, just got lazy along the way and didn't add everything back

Tyy so much! I was wanting to add a story here but I'll wait 15-16 days more. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

thank you for the continued updates

Thanks suujin

Thank you suujin

Thank you suujinn *~*

Thanks for the signal boosts for all these things, I hadn't even noticed my lists were gone till a few days ago when all my series just seemed to all stop giving notifications.

Seems I've stalled out at barely 1/3 of my series/lists, and seems the webdev has disabled adding of new items to the lists for now. Still prudent to wait a week or two before thinking something is amiss?

I'd hate to lose everything, I've been on mangago for.... forever it feels like lmao, so I'm still a bit anxious as I wait for the recovery.

Anyway, I'm rambling... cheers!

╥﹏╥ i don't understand what is happening I got my want to read like half back but not already read so i checked and it looks like all of them are my already read what is happening do I have to mark them as all already read again??? I did for a few but I am not sure what is happening or if I am messing things up more somehow

Do you have any updates on when we'll get our tbr back? Devs said that only tagged ones will e back, so we're the tbr list supposed to be tagged as well? Are we fucked?

welcome to dealing with computer hardware and software. be lucky we're getting anything back at all :) we only know that they were on the second pass as of thursday last week. if people would stop messing with their lists like they were told to. maybe the devs would be able to get their work done faster. as per the bot email you'll receive if you email them. it will tell you right now you'll only get tagged and marked ones back. and it's unknow if unmarked and untagged ones will come back at all. IF an unmarked or untagged ones slips through be thankful and lucky you

Sorry but what does marked mean? Is that the label for want to read/read/reading?

you marked it "Want to read, reading, read" without putting it on your lists first it's that row of 3 tags by the rating stars

Oh then thats so weird coz i had so many marked but still nothing :/

Is the list back now for everyone?

Not me. Missing several hundred series still...

I'd just given up and started adding things back, honestly. It's that or wallowing in self-pity and I already booked that for next Tuesday so...

Best of luck to you! <3
