IMPORTANT: WHEN TO CONTACT SUPPORT
- PLEASE WAIT. Do not email the devs yet. The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. 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

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
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
UPDATE: 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.

Just wait patiently yall. Your mangas will be back.
I'll be updating the date of restored mangas here so if you want to be notified, follow this post
hey! I know for sure I had "already read" mangas on my page before Jan 2021, I posted a comment on a manga in Feb after I had already been on the site for 4 months so I know 100% I put stuff into those categories as I was REALLY into reading, but so far im only seeing one appear on my feed :( trying to be patient but lowk scared LOL is there any reasoning for this?
Ok I had a question!! I'm just wondering.. Because I see people's lists slowly coming back with their tags so i know that's gonna happen but what about the comments when you put it into the reading/already read sections?? Will it save what you wrote cs I wrote stuff for all of them. And does it also depend on if you put on visible for me or no? ՞߹ - ߹՞
For all you that are asking questions in the comments that have already been asked over and over: Just READ the long ass post suujin wrote AND the comments in that post full of questions
Stop being bots.
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080691/
i’m having the same issue as you, i know for sure i’ve marked stories the first day i created my account back in 2020. but only one manga has gotten added to my already read for now and my only guess is it’s because it was the first manga that i’ve rated whereas other stories that ive marked i used to not rated them at all. i might be wrong tho but that would be the only logical explanation as to why stories that ive marked before that one haven’t been added back
hello, i asked this similar question on your other post but it's prolly buried in other comments, so i would like to ask again.
is this process of returning the series into the list a guaranteed process, or is there a room for error where some series fail to appear? if there's a room for error, will there be a way to fix it or anticipate it or do something about it?
i'm asking this bc i'm a bit worried lol. my list right now is stuck at 120, but i had a screenshot of my already read list at may 2021 being at 1911. aside from that, i have a screenshot of a series i've put on "already read" before april 2021 but it hasnt appeared in my list yet. however, previous to this case, i did notice that some series i added to my lists were somehow unmarked and i had to add it again... which i dont usually notice. i wonder if that affected this whole process and that my list's timeline is just fucked but all my series will return, or could there also be a problem with the system that is reading and returning our list? thank you, and i appreciate your work.
Hello!! I know for a fact i have had manga marked from before june 2021 (around 100 already read and 40 reading from a screenshot i found from april 2021) but nothing is back on my account. Im wondering if this means my data is lost or if it will just be added later? I don't have my manga saved on anything else so logging in today and seeing my list empty was kinda scary
So i wanted to point this out cause i noticed this between me and another user (and may be happening to others). Some of my “already read” mangas are coming back but here’s the thing, i’m seeing some mangas there that I have never seen or read before (there’s one i saw that was previously on my “want to read” list).
all of these also have ratings which I rarely
do which is making me confused. Please advice if you know what’s up with that
Hey so idk what is happening exactly but my already read list has only 3 come back so far and I finished one today so I added that as well I hope that doesn't interrupt or don't something to it
But the main point is the 3 that came back feel like something i put on it a little recently not something from before 2021 so can someone explain this to me!?!
Hello :) first of all, thank you for being one of the few people able to provide and share some form of update for the rest of us. It really puts us as some form of peace for a while :)
Two, my situation is this, i joined in 2017, in the past 3 days, only 1 manga have been added to the Already Read list on each day, making for a total of 3 mangas only now.
The first one was added in 2019, second was in 2020 and the latest one was in April 2021.
So that is the thing that is getting me worried again, that my mangas are only coming back one by one (although i hear the same thing from some other people so maybe it's okay??? Still sad tho..) and that the mangas i have added before 2019, like in 17' or 18' are still not here.
Provided that what you mentioned is true that they are going by when you added...
I had about 900+ in want to read. 1000+ in reading and 2000+ in already read. So that's why i am def, still nervous and wondering if everything will really come back.
I have seen some that are in the same position as me, only 1 manga back and some with a couple thousand back in already read and also in reading.
So i am writing this comment to partly ask you if you have any advice or insight for my situation. And also to put it out there for others as well to also let me know if they are in the same situation as me thanks, so i can feel more at ease and less alone/lost.
Hope everyone will have a good day regardless, thank you :)
THANK YOU @Suujin for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to admit that I was one click away from being one of those death/blind/illiterate idiots (according to @SharkVice lmao ) that was about to make a post about updates and notifications, BUT thankfully something told me to just read every single thing I can until I come across what looks to be an explanation and or pointing in the direction of where things are going and what’s been happening—WHICH I DID! So, I’m gonna go back to blocking the world out, except my dogs, and reading marathons, and wait patiently for things to go back to normal.
I appreciate you and the others who keep this site up and running for [those of us who have nothing in life BUT this site] us!
Looks like it doesnt? Well for me at least. I had one manga ongoing from 2021, was on my currently reading and it was on already read and my comment was gone. I would believe it works the same way when ur done reading the manga and change the status, the comment goes away.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see, just bc it happened to me itll happen to others as well ;; just check it regularly though!
Thank you for all your hard work,I'm currently still waiting for my lists to come back. I made my account in 2014 but don't remember when I started adding to my list cause I didn't realize for a long time that you could have list even being around since 2014, So thank you again for all your hard work
Thank you for doing your best for us.
if u can answer 1 question pls. the mangas are adding into the "already read" section. will they be separated after all of my mangas are back again. it maybe difficult to answer now cause restoring the mangas are the top priority. just wondering if there is schedule to separate them after the restoration completes.
If u can answer i will appriciate it.
I'm so sorry to be a pain and thank you for keeping everyone updated. But is it just the rated mangas coming back first and then the rest cause like I barely ever give stars to mangas and also my other question is I also don't remember rating any of the mangas that are on my already read list right. But I'll give it the benefit of the doubt cause it was 3 or 4 years ago so I might have rated it and forgot. Anyway thank you again.
Thank you for everything, Suujin!! This website has been my safe space for so long and I cant even imagine losing it. I cant blame people for panicking, given the situation right now T-T still, take all the time you need!!
And please STAY SAFE and be careful of the popos… i hope we can have a backup for this site or something because im also a bit scared rn ╥﹏╥
omg i’m so glad i found this! i was so confused at first and when i only saw Killing stalking and a bakudeku oneshot i was brought back to when i first made this acc to read them like i think the only reason i made was bc of ks from a friend rec so thank you for assuring that the rest of them will come back!
I may be completely wrong but I have a feeling that anyone who used the "visible only for me" will never get their lists back and will have to just rebuild and find what they can.
I might be wrong but there are some back that were added after some others that I know were marked with "visible only for me"
.........wasn't that only for the comment that you left about said manga. Like, If you checked that button, than that means whatever you wrote about it, only you can see *shrugs* I could totally be wrong. But when I write a comment there it can be seen in the comments and when Ive checked it, it wasn't there in the general comment section (not topics). IDK you could be right. I am gonna have to ask a user to check it out for me. Cause now, I am curious lol:))
Yes comments are there but what you're reading isn't. I've noticed my comments were visible, but if I looked at my account signed out on incognito or different browser my lists weren't visible.
The part of that relied on the dates since I'm very forgetful hopes that it doesn't matter, but the logical part of me believes they're gone since it wasn't visible for others.
Im trying to stay optimistic that my lists will come back, but nothing has shown on my account so far and its stressing me out since other people have been getting stuff back already (I made my account in September 2020, and I found proof that I've been adding to my list since at least October 2021). Im hoping that it will just take some more time and that I didn't screw anything up by adding to my lists :')
iirc, already read lsit will still get you updates. if you really wanna sort things out, just wait for them to come back, check the daily updates, then just pick the ones that u still wanna read atm hahhaa. for me, as long as i still get updates, im fine with not sorting them out. i got 2k+ and there's no way for me to sort them out lol
Hi, without realizing that my lists were gone, i recently changed my gmail to one i actively use, since the old one was one that i no longer used and couldn't access in gmail. I see that my mangas are still slowly being restored, but will this change in gmail affect it is some way? Should i change it back?
Guys I'm not trying to be rude, but instead of asking what date they're on now and being impatient, keep checking for updates yourself. They're working hard to restore things, the least we could do is be proactive and check ourselves instead of making them answer the same question over and over.
Also, for people saying they made their account on xyz, I'm pretty sure they said it doesn't matter WHEN your account was made but when your lists were starting to be added to, also it matters whether you rated them or not as they're starting with one of them first as far as I've seen in my own lists.
I seem to have issues with ratings as well, I rarely rate anything unless I really really like it, but now everything that has returned to my list so far is rated and I'm still missing a lot of manga that according to the updates should have returned already. I'm not sure if it's only returning rated manga and I 5 starred way more manga than I remember or if something else is up, but either way, something's off here :(
I’ve been on here for a while and had like 500+ read since 2021 and loads in the other two but I’ve only got three back….and I didn’t rate any of my reads because I always forgot to…. Does it mean I’ve lost them forever? Bc I got the two I rated and only those???
I know your busy but tysm for everything your doing
Does "marked" mean Rated with stars? 'Cause I saw some people saying they only got back the words they rated with stars but my dumb self rated like 10% of everything I read TwT (which was thousands of works)
Still, if that's how they'll go at it, I'll accept it, I love this site so much and I'm so grateful for everything they did, all the "down" periods that got me so scared and then it was back, I really can bear it if only the starred ones come back, that means I'll have to... fill it back again! ;3
And also, saying this to other users like me: I had a "want to read" of like 2000 works, I always tried to get through it but I also kept adding stuff so I never actually got to get close to finishing it HAHAHAH
It felt like a bottomless pit, anyone else like me? Should I try to keep my stuff for tidy and less crowded? (≧∀≦)
Send your concerns to [email protected]
A few of my marked list have been slowly returning but i think it's getting jumbled up. Ik i placed some of them in the "reading" list but it's popping up in the "already read" list.
Will it return to it's original setting over time? And same for the comments i made for myself to track each chapter I'm on, will those come back too?
I’m sorry I keep writing but I just want to see if I read this correctly because I’m pretty sure I started saving waaaaaaay before 2023. I have read the FAQs and it has stated that if the systems hits a blurry page it will just skip it and go back to try again, so does this mean if this is truly what has happened that I will have to wait longer for my lists to come back? If so that’s a little bit frustrating but I understand and will wait a bit longer.
checked your profile and i feel honored that you marked my guide
to answer your question, the system should make several runs to load all data correctly. if after all of this whole restoration process (like in 2 weeks time from now) and you still notice errors on your marked mangas, send your concern to [email protected]
its better to write down notes of the things you observed now so you can send that in detail to the devs. if possible write a "diary" and record your actions/observations (include the time and date; use GMT time) like when you noticed the missing list, when the mangas started coming back and in what frequency/quanity/rate, are they rated mangas or non rated, did you do anything like re-add mangas etc. this will be helpful so that the devs can trace and try to replicate the actions you made, that way theyll be able to detect and diagnose the problem.
IMPORTANT: WHEN TO CONTACT SUPPORT
- PLEASE WAIT. Do not email the devs yet. The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. 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:
⠀⠀⠀*when your account is made
⠀⠀⠀*roughly when you started adding mangas
⠀⠀⠀*when mangas started coming back for you
⠀⠀⠀*whether you re-added, edited, or deleted mangas during restoration
⠀⠀⠀*any repeated issues (random logouts, missing notifs, errors, etc.)
Simply put, keep a log of WHAT 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 steps so they can actually find and diagnose the problem
idk why my previous comment didn't appear but i'll say it again, my list didn't update at all so far i only had 2 from 2020/2021, my account was made in 2018 and i started adding at 2020 (i just checked since i had my list recorded) tbh its fine but should i wait and see or should i add them on my own?? ty
I know that I should wait, but I joined 2020 and started adding things since then. I'm a lil concerned seeing people who joined on 2023 are now getting their lists back and I have nothing on mine (except for the ones I panic-searched for when my lists disappeared). Are they restoring from recent to previous years? I dunno, I'm a lil anxious ehehehe
Hey so the update says it's starting with mangas marked on apr 2024 but the last one that appeared in my already read list is from 2021 and I definitely read in 2022 and 2023, but what I've noticed is the ones that I have are the ones that I did rate, so now I'm worried cus when I made my account back in 2020 I used to rate everything but after a while I stopped doing it, and I don't see the mangas I didn't rate, will they get back once they're done with the already read list?
I'm trying to stay calm because I know data and ui are a separate thing but still it's weird that only the rated mangas are appearing
Someone just shared this with me.. never really been involved in mangao sphere even though i think i have been here since 2016 or 2017. Im shocked yall talk to us lol.. i was about to cry when its been a while i havent seen my lists back but i see your response i cry from happiness.. thank you so much (▰˘◡˘▰)
theyre just default error values and nope they dont affect the restoration process. since your tagged manga hasnt officially been restored to your list yet, the system doesnt have a proper "added date" for it so it shows the default date instead. when the restoration process reaches those manga entries, the correct dates will appear
They say, it depends on when you marked them. Not when it's created, or something like that. About 17% has returned to my "Already Read" List. However, I noticed that those marked before 2017, aren't there. I made account since 2015 (Although, I been on this site since 2011) And have about 5000+ titles total.
But all we can do is wait patiently. Important is more, is that we can still read here, unlike what happened to others .
This question has already been answered several times above, please make sure to read the FAQ AND the comments fully :)
Theyre doing it in a process - starting with:
Already read > Reading > Want to read
(some users have found that the manga from the other 2 lists have appeared in 'already read' for some reason but I'm sure this will be sorted later.)
And somewhere in between those or at the end, the non-rated mangas will also be back as well as comments.
This has also already been answered, "As far as I remember, your comments will come back when everything's been added to your lists. There's a certain order to things
Already read > Reading > Want to read
And somewhere in between those or at the end, the non-rated mangas will also be back as well as your comments"
Some users may find their reading/to read is also in their 'already read', I imagine this will be handled later.
this will be the last time ill answer this question
The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. 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]
ALL MANGAS GOING INTO ALREADY READ
- the system cant aways figure out the original list type of the marked manga so when this happens it defaults to Already read for now
DELETED MANGAS SHOWING UP AGAIN
- the system is restoring our manga data from a historical log of everyone's activity (this is the "book" in the analogy i talked about in the FAQs). there can be multiple historical logs saved/backed up at different times, so the historical log that the system is currently looking at might not include the deletions made by some users yet and it restores them as if they were never deleted
MISSING NOTES/SUMMARIES
- in a database, theres this thing called a table to group stored data. and in a database there can be multiple tables. the notes/summaries, and other extras are most likely stored separately in a different table so sometimes they dont get pulled back correctly on the first time (the system should make multiple runs to make sure all data is loaded correctly thats why this whole manga data restoration takes a while)
ONLY RATED MANGAS SHOWING FOR SOME USERS
- some users only see rated mangas right now because the system is prioritizing entries with ratings first. your unrated ones should come back in later passes
UPDATE: 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.

GO TOUCH SOME GRASS!!
THE GRASS: https://i.redd.it/gg519pefoxy61.jpg
It’s np boo your working very hard trying to answer all these questions. Something like this won’t be solved immediately. I can’t imagine how overloaded the system and y’all are. Also go touch some grass, go breathe some fresh air you need it I’ve never seen such dedication for basically hourly updates.
Hellooo, i used to have 1300+ mangas in already read, and now i only have about 137. I've been re adding some as I've read them again, I'll keep track of those from now on. However the 1000+ that are missing will come back gradually right? In some weeks? English isn't my first language so that part confused me a little, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your hard work!!!
were currently in the second pass. give it 2 weeks. If after everything finishes and youre still seeing clear errors in your marked mangas, report them to [email protected] :)
I'm going to make a wild guess, since this is also happening to me, that it has to do with the bugs that will occur during the restoration process that Suujin mentioned. They probably removed the feature since the entire network is under serious maintenance and probably adding your lists yourself at this critical time will make things take longer.
Have people been getting back mangas that they haven't rated yet? I know it still needs to run again and all and suujin said to give it at least 2 weeks. Cause ive only gotten back 49 of the mangas ive had (which im thankful for, at least the database has my account) but i know i still have more that ive rated and havent gotten back and all the ones i haven't are still gone. Just want to see how many of us are still at this stage
Well sorry not sorry but nobody asked u, like we can't even panic waking up on something soo strange happening to us. U think we had time to pass through all comments and just stumble on the angle answering to all our questions without breaking a sweat while u take it to ur self to correct us like ur getting gold medal for this. Pls all of u who have noting productive to say about the situation juste shut up, sit down and let the lady talk. Nobody came for ur nonsense here, we all came for a solution which suujin gave us
Yes! I have a lot of unrated manga that were put back into my lists and some untagged ones too. I'm still missing another 500 or so manga that should be in my already read list and my wtr list is completely wrong. All the manga in my wtr list should be in my already read or currently reading list. Interestingly everything in my wtr is tagged. Both lists are still slowly updating, so hopefully they sort themselves out.
I've tried to read everything so im not asking similar questions so I apologize if this was already answered, im just a little confused pls dont be mad I see that mangas are slowly coming back for the 'I already read' section. In regards to the 'I want to read' and 'currently reading', will those all be going into the already read section as well or slowly be making their way back into the want to read and reading sections? (Hopefully that makes sense).
Thank you for your hard work and keeping us updated!
let the lady talk----okay so ill talk. no one's saying people are not allowed to panic, but there's a difference between being worried and being lazy. the FAQs exist specifically to answer yalls questions so I dont have to repeat myself 1000 times. I dont mind answering questions or clarifying things that arent clear. but when when people skip the post and ask the same questions addressed in it like why am i not getting updates/notifications, will my list come back, how long will it take, whats happening with the site, etc etc. its not a lack of info, its a lack of effort. its honestly infuriating and draining. if i could id give the person you replied to a medal for sending that comment. it keeps me going and reminds me that there are people out there who actually take time to read and understand whats going on
nope. the system will make more runs to make sure everything is loaded correctly. give it 2 weeks. if after that time, you can still see errors, send a report to [email protected]
first run = already read
second and succeeding runs = want to read, reading, comments, correcting wrong info (like misplaced mangas), applying bug fixes
the first run took 6days and just finished 9hours ago. read here for more info

Hi! I have a quick question, I noticed that the one manhwa that came back on my Already Read list is the one I had rated before. I’ve also seen comments from other users saying that many of the manga/manhwa that have returned so far are ones with tags or ratings, but some have mentioned that a few unrated or untagged manga/manhwa have come back too. So I was wondering, are the devs prioritizing the tagged/rated ones first, and the unrated/untagged ones will follow afterward? I’ve seen some people worrying they won’t get their reading lists back at all if they didn’t tag or rate their manga/manhwa, not just in Already Read, but also in Currently Reading and Want to Read lists.
Thanks so much for all the updates, really appreciate it!
Give it more time.
first run = already read
second and succeeding runs = want to read, reading, comments, correcting wrong info (like misplaced mangas), applying bug fixes
the first run took 6days and just finished 9hours ago. read here for more info

Somethings wrong with the data that's why it's causing the system (not the devs) to prioritize the rated ones and skip some unrated mangas. But you don't have to worry because the system will make several more runs to make sure everything is loaded correctly

Thank you for replying! I just want to clarify something. You mentioned the First run is for Already Read and the second is for Want to Read/Currently Reading, etc. From what I understand, the system makes multiple runs to restore lists. If the First run is finished, why am I seeing only one manga in my Already Read list so far? Should I expect the rest to appear in subsequent runs?”
Thanks again for your help!
This whole thing reminds me of when AO3 went down for like a week >_< I appreciate that no matter what, that we have amazing people that are going out their way to spend time to fix the issues when they they actually have no obligation to do so. Like this isn’t some mega money hungry company. The Devs are probably spending their free time to fix this for us, as well as going to an irl job.
So the least we can do is read what they write and not ask questions they answered in the FAQ. I’d love if people listened but alas I just know the next comment or so will be a question that’s already in the FAQ
short(?) answer: the first run finishing doesnt mean everything is done for your account. it just means the system finished its first pass, and the next passes are working to bring in the rest and fix any skipped or misplaced entries
long answer (I didnt go into detail in the FAQs bc I know it will be too confusing): As I mentioned in the FAQs. the restoration is based on timestamps and not just the list type. All mangas are being restored chronologically from the oldest timestamp to the newest, regardless of whether they were originally marked as Want to Read, Reading, or Already Read.
Sometimes a manga's internal metadata (the hidden info the system uses to track which list it belongs to, ratings, tags, summaries,or even internal info the system uses, etc) is incomplete or conflicts with the other data. The system cant process those entries correctly on the first pass so it skips them temporarily. thats why some of your mangas arent appearing even though the first run is finished.
(sorry if my previous reply wasnt too clear. i attempted to simplify my answer as possible earlier so i wouldnt go too technical with it)
- first pass = restores all mangas into Already Read (including those originally in Want to Read or Reading), skipping any with metadata conflicts.
- second pass = moves the proper Want to Read mangas out of Already Read, and continues restoring the rest of the skipped mangas.
- third pass = moves Reading mangas into correct list and keeps filling in anything still missing
- subsequent passes = fix misplaced entries, restore summaries/comments, and apply bug fixes
so gain to answer your question, you should expect the rest oof your Already read mangas to appear gradually in these subsequent runs, along with any originally Want to Read or Reading mangas being moved to their correct lists. Some users will see entries appear in bursts, while others might see nothing for a bit (beceause the system is filtering and correcting errors in the background)
i hope this clarifies it
but again, give it 2 weeks. and if after everything finishes and youre still seeing clear errors in your marked mangas, report them to [email protected]
Yes, most users will find that they may be missing non-rated manga. In regards to your actual lists first run = already read, second and succeeding runs = want to read, reading, comments, correcting wrong info (like misplaced mangas), applying bug fixes. (this was shared on the prior page, please make sure you read all the information and comments, as answers might have already been shared!)
Before I knew exactly what was happening i started to add back mangas to my list. Tbh im not sure how many I added, kinda just added as I saw them or thought about them. My "already read" list seems to be updating though, as was said everything is going into that list. I have screenshots of my list and was going to add them back manually although that would be a pain seeing that it's a bunch so I'll just wait and see if everything gets sorted.
I really do appreciate the updates and swift action
I get that, but it's also hard for the people helping to keep repeating the same answer for a question 50 times a day lol we can help provide answers and spread the word to everyone but people can't rely on us to answer every question, you have to search yourself too. I mean the answer I gave you was literally 2 pages or so before ykwim?
Heyy I'm sorry if this is a repeated question I'm just a little concerned about my lists. Like I got a 100 of thousands and many of then keep going to want to read even though it was marked in read. Is this a normal thing I expect the want to go to read but not the other way around and like I only got a little part of it back ig it will prob take another week to come back to normal right?
Here you can see how to download so you dont have to manually. Im doing this the second it gets fixed. The link is posted originally in the updates thread https://www.mangago.me/home/people/3402357/home/
I readd some stuff from memory last night to my listes about 5 in want to read, 10 in my reading and 22 to my already read will that cause problem for the restoration. I did it cuz I saw somewhere that someone had Email the devs and ask "so no other manga will come back unless we rated th or tags? " and I believe it was the devs saying yes but I don't know cuz it was all cross out so you can't really tell and it was very confusing
so first run is done I gather but... I had about 500-600 in my already read and I've got 11 ╥﹏╥ I thank everybody working so hard on this and for people working in this forum but I'm so confused... I saw it was like a book but my book started before some of the other people who got their stuff back.
so far it restored by alr read and my current reads (but added the current reads in the alr read)
but my want to read is still at 0 ╥﹏╥
like it's restored up till the very last thing I read which was Jan 26th of this year yet the manhwas I wanted to read that were saved before that are still not here at all
“ 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“
Hi, I have been on this site for about 6 years and I never really make comments or anything. However, I am starting to get very concerned about my account. I have no lists and I have not gotten an update since January 25th. By now, I soul have seen some improvement right? I have years of manga gone and I am so sad.
I'm missing like 4000+ And 2nd pass, all goes to the wrong "Want to Read", that supposed to go on "Already Read". But at least it shows signs of returning. Albeit slowly.
Then hoping, all my Comments that I put on that pop-up screen (where we mark our books with tags and such), would truly come back too. Because, I use it to type notes.
Yes you did but it’s not your fault since you didn’t know. I made the same mistake. The mods removed the feature but they might have put it back. Idk. For now just leave it be so everything can restore properly. If you need to while you wait use the Create list feature since that was unaffected. I’m using it for new manga I find in the meantime til this blows over.
I would advise against it as some people have said their lists have frozen in the restoration progress when changing lists. The FAQs say you can make small changes (I suppose like adding one or two manga) but it also says it's usually best to wait. It'll just end up being replaced in the restoration progress so idk. Doesn't sound worth it to change anything now if it's gonna come back like it has for some people.
Hi I’m here to tell everyone that I emailed devs and they said the only manga that are coming back are rated and tag manga. So if you didn’t do that, you won’t get anything back. Some slipped through that weren’t either of those but the only guarantee are the rated and tagged. It’s sad cause I didn’t do that with my 2K series.
All I'm saying is if a few 'slipped through' then I'm inclined to not listen and just see what happens. Regardless of what they say. Everything in the FAQ here is, so far, accurate aside from the non-rated manga... Are you sure they never talked about any first and second phases? It's weird that they'd restore only rated if they themselves gave the option on the site to rate or not.
Honestly at this point, it's best to just wait 2 weeks and see. Continue reading as usual.
If the eventual result is we aren't able to recover our lists fully, yes-its sad but it's not the end of the world. At least mgg is up and running and you can still rebuild your lists.
I've been here for 10+ years there's no way I can remember all the things I've read, so I'll treat it as an opportunity to rediscover old gems if we don't get them back.
man. just looking at the fearmongering, i’m gonna just cope and pretend that the 5k mangas i have unrated and untagged will come back at some point because whats the point of making an account if the things u added to the system won’t be saved.
like it also doesnt make sense that it wont come back because whatever is in the system
should stay in the system unless they do occasional purges (which wouldnt make sense because theres a subscribed system.)
if that’s the case.
i will just go through all of my made lists and readd them one by one. fml
I find the whole thing odd like this can't be right. Cause I've gotten back 21 want to read out of like 100+ and I KNOW for a fact that I've never rated my want to reads. How could I when I haven't read them. But there they are sitting there with a generic single tag that I've used on one's I have actually read. And I know it wasn't me cause I've never put single tags. It's always been a combination.
Since internet is forever, I really hope that us who don’t rate mangas will get our list back. I would be grateful even if everything goes in the same list, just so that I can export them as a security measure. The same thing could happen here as it did to btto and we could lose everything in the future. I wish we can contact admins later, after the restoration is complete, to send us export of our lists at least, for people who don’t get theirs back. 10 years of my life gone, my one true hobby and comfort is reading manga, thousands!!! I am patient, maybe everything will be back to normal. Now I’m afraid to touch anything, add mangas onto lists or rate them, because I don’t want to mess with the restoration process. I don’t blame anyone, but I do feel frustrated and sad. They should put up a guide to users on how to act from now on, to make sure our lists are reachable in cases like these. Wishing everyone good luck during these difficult times lol :’) <3
My account still hasn't been fixed, I hope it will ve soon. Done of the stuff returned but not all. I did add back some manually when I first realize they were gone. Idk warmth was rated and what wasn't tbh. I'll just be patient and wait until it's all over. Hopefully by then my account will be fully fixed
I supposed have 5000+, I surely did not rate nor tag all of them. Only those I rated, tagged came back slowly since January 27th. Besides those I added, or re-added myself. However those marked before 2017 are missing. Even though my account is from 2015. Besides waiting for 4000+ to come back still, all my notes comment that I put on that pop-up screen (where we marked/tagged our books), are gone as well.
I have the feeling that not everything coming back. Especially not my notes, I used to help me remember some stuff ┗( T﹏T )┛
If people are still missing manga please note no ones sure if non-rated manga are returning. Everyone just read page 30 and 31. Please be proactive and read the updates yourself. We can't keep answering the same question over and over. Your answers are - no one knows. No one knows when the process is over. No one knows what's happening to your masses of missing manga if it's non-rated. It's assumed to be between 2nd and the 5th but it could take longer depending on what the devs are doing. READ.
Reading back, doesn't always mean that there won't be any changes afterwards! Like, at the start it was said that we get everything back in order. Days later, I read someone saying that we don't be getting back our non-tagged/non-rated books anymore. Next day, someone saying that it's already done and fixed for them.
It's hard to tell, when to send them email when all is done, but yours still not done yet. Would be hard, still waiting for a fix, while actually they already stopped doing anything, making you wait for nothing. So, it's a reassurance to know, that you are still not the only one, and the fix is still ongoing.
It was best that there's an official update and to know the process, then non would be repeating any questions. Like they do with Anime sites that have official community on the own site. Then just speculating which ones are true.
Unfortunately there are no official updates and the one official update we have on non-rated the managa is up for speculation because people are still getting non-rated stuff back - and more than just a few too. Hence why I said - wait. We don't know what the devs are doing. Personally, I'm just going to wait. Because that's all we can do. I don't want to email them because it seems silly that they're working hard to restore even 1k of people's manga (which people are still saying they have stuff slowly coming back) to then have a storm of emails thrown at them too. So personally, im waiting.
Someone said it's fixed FOR THEM. but there are so many more people who haven't had it fixed so that's not really an update saying things are done, just more of someone giving us hope.
For the email, it was suggested to wait 2 weeks. Which tbh I think is a solid time to wait. It let's the devs work, and is also a good time to then ask questions.
This is an unsure time for everyone.
Again, more information here for non-rated.

Alright guys. Here’s my convo copy and pasted from email with devs.
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 ——
Many of my mangas are missing.... I don't know I can't remember all the names.... I hope it recovers soon please....
Wish list and now reading were 'zero'
My 'already read list' were around 500+ before, but now when iv check, it was around 400 and most of them are from 'wish list and now reading list'
Iv moved some to it's original list
But so many of my mangas on all the list are still missing, not yet recoverd and it breaks my heart
No yea, I don't expect them to reply to alll these comments but like maybe something official so it not just hear say and people think others are giving false hope or fear mongering. Plus I need to know if I can go ahead and start replacing things or should I wait cause I want you put this behind me. Imma just have to go through every genre I read and pick all 500+ that I've read. I don't even care about my wtr cause I was procrastinating reading those for years and if I wanna read it I'll selectively put them back
I have back 800 of my already read list. But i had almost 2000, so its missing a lot. Some of my want to read and reading lists are also mix there, and i have some with no tags or rating also there. But mostly are tagged. From my want to read, i only recuperate 5 but 4 of them should have been in the already read list. So, i hope the devs put everything ok eventually
oh yes i agree! i wanna know too if i can start adding things on my list again or if i shouldn’t for now because maybe it’ll fuck up the process of the devs repairing things. as far as i’ve heard, other people’s accounts have definitely started to get fixed, but it still would be nice to have some reassurance. but honestly they’re not obligated to do that since it’s not like they get paid for this.
Devs said to wait to add a lot. I’ve just been adding things here and there that I’m 90% sure weren’t in my lists even though ppl are saying I won’t get them back since only like 2/2000+ of mine are accidentally rated . Here’s the faq I got it from :))
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080691/
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080691/
This topic explains why that is
Try not to add things you know you already had on your list. Errors are still being looked into and could take up to 2 weeks to be completely fixed. If after the 2 weeks some things are still missing then message the webmaster like it says in the post. If after everything is done and they can’t do anything then start re-adding things back in to your list. If you know you never had the manga in your list in the first place then adding it shouldn’t effect anything.
Wait for at least 2 weeks, it's still in the process of fixing READ BACK
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080691/
Wait for at least 2 weeks before reporting with logs. Try READING back here:
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080691/
I have a question I saw another post that said that I had to rate or tag the manga in order for it to return back to my list which I don’t usually do. Is this true? Or regardless of what I’ve done/tagged/commented/rated it should come back. As long as I saved it to one of the list that’s all that matters?
i emailed the devs and got the same response others got. unrated mangas can't be restored. here is a screenshot of our email exchange: https://www.mangago.me/home/album/637201/
sensitive data was erased to preserve my identity
Whether we can recover unrated ones or not, I'd wait it out at least 2 weeks even with the mod email, since things seem pretty unstable still. This thread was created at feb 1, it's just been 4 days since the notice was created to wait for at least 2 weeks. In the meantime start working on recovering it in case it never recovers, by creating a temporary list for now.
Guys, where did this email came from tho? Like, is this safe? Is it confirmed that it's actually a dev? ( ;∀;)
Also, i was scrolling back to comments and found someone already emailed them and got an horrible news.. YvY
https://www.mangago.me/home/album/637201/
So is waiting for 2 weeks without doing much really helping? As you can see i rated really few things, even tho i saw some accounts who got some "blank" saved mangas (dk if they hide them or they actually never rated/tagged them).
I wanna cry,i had soo many...
I had the feeling we won't get it back no more. Not even our comments (notes that I placed under each title). It been 3 days already since nothing more is added. I lost like 4k+ titles over the years. I don't rate or tag all of them. This is so sad ┗( T﹏T )┛ Guess this is it then. Have to probably do everything manually.
Unfortunately, the notifications isn't quite right either. I rarely get notification as I used to. Now it comes way to late, or not at all.
For those of you worrying about not getting unrated/untagged manga back: "crashed" in the email (if the email is real anyways) doesn't automatically mean the disk is physically broken. They may be able to recover the data bc it's not loading correctly or was corrupted. We dont know atm. Wait 2w b4 crashing out. And I say this as sm1 who had over 3k on my wtr list unrated and untagged
Yeah i saw that it was the 28th after i commented, but again I'd rather wait it out till next week to mail. OP only gave estimates of having 2nd pass done at feb 5, so next week is roughly a better time to complain since there's a more definitive answer. For the record, I've had my lists stuck even longer; it hasn't updated for like 10 days. I don't think this will fix itself with just one run and will go several rounds to fix
I know this might me just being optimistic but maybe the fact they haven’t released an official statement might be a sign they’re trying to still actively recover the data from the damaged disk. Here’s to hoping because majority of my list has been left unrated for years so I’m hoping that they’re fixing it if not I’m sure they’d release a statement
someone said it shouldn’t be an issue, but someone else has said to keep track of any changes like that on your lists just in case. they said it would be helpful info for the devs if you choose to contact them (if it’s been a while and you still don’t have your complete list back) ! i worded this so weirdly i hope it’s understandable
Yea like ppl said it shouldn't cause an issue if u add to ur list. Basically what's happening is they're loading in saved data from prior to maintenance (from my understanding). If u add NEW mangas its essentially going "ok here's data from Jan 18...nothing...nothing...ok here's dating from Feb 3." If u RE-ADD manga u are essentially overwrightin the saved data so it goes "they made a change to x manga on Feb 2 so I will load the new data" (over simplified). Thats just the manga itself not whatever is going on with them being put in wrong lists. Do keep small notes of changes u made if AFTER the 2w u still have issues
Im sorry for bothering you i wasnt going to write but its been 4 days and nothing is happenin in my list. It was slowly coming back then it stopped and then i started to add things and after that nothing happened too. I find this so late. Would it still come back?? (Im sorry for being dumb asf lmao)
Mine stopped growing too. I didn't think about using my bookmarks to re-add to my Reading list, but I did use my previous notifications to add to my Currently Reading list.
Although, this hiccup/glitch was unexpected, I'm sorta prepared as I kept a spreadsheet of all my manga/manhua/manwha. I just need to know affirmatively before I lose a week re-adding all my missing titles.
Literally me lmao. I got bookmarks, a list on mangaupdates, a spreadsheet, and a notes app all in perfect sync. I just gotta know when system is done attempting to restore bc it'll take me an all-nighter (spent 6pm to 4am adding my list MANUALLY to mangaupdates bc I am insane) so I can plan my time out (´ε ` )
Any1 else reading this use this time to compile a list of what u got back/can rmbr. Import it smwhere: spreedsheet, mangaupdates, etc. that way ur prepared if this happens again. Don't worry be productive instead
I think it was back in 2021 when the site went down for almost 3 weeks. I decided once it was back up and running I would download/create a spreadsheet with all my titles just in case something happened. It took about a week to copy & paste all of them into an Excel spreadsheet and write basic summaries or identifiers for each of them. I try keep it updated monthly too, but sometimes I get too tired to do it. So I'm happy that I decided the day before everything went kerplunk that I took some time to finally update my list with my newest titles.
I keep copies of my list on my computer; on a USB drive; my phone; my tablet; and I email myself a copy too.
I only ever got back the very few I rated. I've been on here since the 20teens and had thousands in the lists because I'm on here every night before bed (minus that brief period the site was down). I have been adding back as I think of them and see updates on the ones I was reading. Still hopeful, though! Don't care what list there in, just want them back for the record and to make sure I don't miss any updates on the hundreds I'm currently reading. So you're definitely not alone, folks. And those of you who do have things coming back, definitely be grateful for them.
Ever since February 2nd, no more changes/update for me either. Only the ones I did myself. 500+ are still on the wrong "Want to Read". I keep getting the feeling that that's it. We don't even know for sure, if they are still working on a fix. Unless someone will ask them directly and post what they say.
Since some are saying, that they are only a small staff, if everyone is emailing them, it would even take more time out from them trying to reply millions, than be working on a 2nd fix :/
I know its fustrating to feel like things are stagnant but please dont contact the devs right away and wait for at least one more week before doing so, they should get back to us once things are fixed anyway
I put the link here just in case for everyone :
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21162409/
We ain't getting more news for the time being, be that from mods or devs cause they can't spend their time reassuring people over and over again, so just be patient everyone and follow the instruction that were given (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
I never emailed them, since January 27th. If to many people are emailing, it would have taken away their time trying to fix things.
But it would have been better right from the start, to give us that yellow headline bar thingy from years ago, telling us that they are still working on it. People might stop asking the same thing over again. Rather than make us wait, blindly.
I was saying that more as a reminder for everyone in general to not email them *yet* as i started to see more people starting to express the idea/want to do so
We gotta do with what we have anyway, even if we complain it aint gonna change anything to the situation, we still have to wait and see how it goes, its what they told us to do for now ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Hi! I see that many people got their old lists mixed up, but also that it's part of the restoring process.
I haven't seen any changes since the beginning though... my want to read, reading and have read are all mangas that i've saved after the crush (when i was panicking :/) but i don't have any of the old mangas anywhere. Is someone in the same situation as mine? Just to know if it's normal somehow :(
Hi!
It’s not just you. Anyone who didn’t rate or tag their mangas haven’t gotten any of their mangas recovered yet. I saw in another post that someone asked one of the devs and they said they can’t recover what’s unrated/untagged. I’m not sure if it’s true but I’ll be waiting for 2 weeks first… then if none of my 5000+ already read comes back, I’m just gonna manually add them all in. :’
Hi, I saw that post too and tried to contact them following what Suujin said and at that email.
They wrote the same thing to me too, probably it's an automatic response since i got the same grammar mistake as the other user.
It said: "I'm sorry, one of our data disk was crashed, we lost part of the data of users servral 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"
I'm still doubtful about this email,but it was around since.. 2020? I went to search for the original source before sending it.
But the oddities is that I have some not rated/commentd/# that auto recoved during the first week, so, what's true?
I'm kinda making making peace that my 3k of mangas will never get back, but i will still wait 2/3 weeks before adding and readjusting what got recovered... YvY
OK (⌒▽⌒). But fortunately my bookmarks are intact, so I don't really care much about my "Already Read" list. It's a pain to move the 500+ wrongly placed books though.
We don't know who or what is true or not. Because non on here are probably real admin or staff, to even say what we must do or not to do. One said we be getting all our rated as Non-rated and our notes back. Others saying that we only be getting our rated ones back, and nothing else. Who to listen?
Since there's no more movements, since 5 or more days ago, who knows they might be already be done. And we are just spinning our thumbs here ( ̄∇ ̄") Even if we wait near the end of this month, to send them an email. We might just be getting the same Bot reply, but no real answers.
I don't think, I would be getting back my notes. This wasn't the 1st time that it was gone forever. But what bothers me most, is that the notifications is not functioning as it should. I rarely get notification from my Reading List. Going through the "Newly Updated" is so time consuming, when you follow hundreds of books.
Especially when not login for few days, I would be wasting time scrolling through 10+, 30+ pages, trying to see if there's any updates of those you are following.
Have you tagged or rated any books in the past? Because only those would be restored for you. The Non-rated/tagged are still unsure, but everyone is still hoping. Notes/comments, that are added through the pop-up screen (where we mark our books) are gone too. If you bookmark chapters or put them in your own created list, they are unaffected, since around January 27th.
I'm on this site since 2011, but only created account back in 2015. As of 5 days, nothing new was updated for me. I still miss about 4000+ books. And all notes. And Notifications not working properly ( ̄∇ ̄")
If never tagged, nor rated any, than highly possible it won't return. My 4000+ are exactly those that I never tagged nor rated. It been 5 days, since it stopped restoring anything, except for those I added myself.
However, people on here still are saying that it's possible that they can fix their crashed data discs, and restore everything. And that we have to wait 2 to 3 weeks more. But I doubt that, though still slightly hoping.
All we can do is wait a while longer....(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
Not necessarily. Im still missing A LOT and I tagged EVERYTHING I ever read/am reading. At least 424 r still missing for me, and that's JUST the stuff that was in my read/reading list. I'm not counting my wtr (close to 4k) or anything i added after the website crashed. If ppl r still missing stuff they tagged/rated then theres a chance that untagged/unrated can still be added at a later date. Its just a waiting game atm. If u dont want to read and add to ur lists in fear that may cause issues, id start exporting a list of stuff u rmbr to a spreadsheet or mangaupdates for example
I went through all five stages of grief and I’m ready to rebuild from scratch. I only got 5 mangas back that I tagged in 2015 :’).
I am really sorry but the devs are acting like fckn babies, some members are acting like underdeveloped sloths. All of this miscommunication could have been avoided if devs put JUST ONE OFFICIAL STATEMENT, and updated it as needed. But no, they complain that people are sending them angry messages. THIS IS ALL PREVENTABLE CHAOS. I understand that this is a free site and anybody who has any brains understands that and appreciates it a lot. WE LOVE MANGAGO <3 But just because it is free, doesn’t mean that it should be run badly. Just because it’s free, doesn’t mean that there should be no official communication with the members. This is a service I use, and expect at least a minimum quality standard even though it’s free. It is perfectly fine if there are technical issues because these things happen, an even a minimum communication is enough to reduce the mess. In order to avoid this chaos, one statement was all we needed.
For example: “Message from the devs/mods: on ‘date’ Mangago had a technical issue in which readers lost their Reading, Want to Read and Already Read lists, as well as custom lists, comments, notes etc. This happened because of X reason. Currently we are in the analysis stage and will report as soon as possible on the next steps.
Please do not panic. We understand how important this is to everyone, but we need to prepare for the worst case scenario.
We will update this post and consider this the only official source of information.
Do not send us messages since we are not able to reply to everyone, so please follow this thread to be up to date.
Readers guide: 1. Do not touch your lists until we give the green light; 2. Example 3. Example 4. Example.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
Since I’m a corporate girl this is how I see the situation and how my brain works. It’s okay if you don’t agree with me, but this was needed for me to move on and start rebuilding, since I see a lot of angry and frustrated people in the comments all around. I really hope that we can collectively learn from this situation and prepare that this could happen again / and if it happens people don’t freak out. Bless yall and good bye
i agree with you, everything would've been better if they made a statement about what happened and why some got their lists when others didn't (i've only got 2) atp i'm just gonna wait for maybe until the end of this month if nothing happened i'll just rebuild everything from the start. good thing i screenrecorded my list
I mean that's on them it's not like i'm defending them. We've had so many incidents already on this site and the one thing i hoped they do but never did was they create a pin mod thread for announcements. I vaguely heard somebody say that the devs don't even come on here but idk if that's true. Hope or whatever, I'm not completely relying on them. I'm waiting 1-2 weeks before any complaint because 1. I do know recovery takes a long time and again, a million complaints is just not going to get a proper response while they fix things 2. I will likely have a clearer answer (by default coz they're done or it actually got fixed) and be a better judge of things after some time. I saw that mod email and it seems like a vague and hasty auto response. Assuming worse case happens and I'm not gonna get those back, creating a temp list to look for your mangas is something i can do in the meantime.
well said. i got shade and called whiny for posting that the devs should just tell us if they lost our data. apparently complaining while using a free site is whining and would motivate the devs to work on the errors slower.
but just because it's free, doesn't mean we can't complain. just because it's free, doesn't mean we have to accept bad service with a smile
Agreed, It’s not our fault that they have no real backup or use fkn floppy disk technologia to store this site on. It’s completely fine if that is the case, considering it’s illegal and all, but at least let us know from the start, so we can prepare and be accountable for our own profiles. That way they could have blame everything on us, and spare themselves of any responsibility. Work smarter not harder :)
100% with you. Well said. You took the words outta my mouthhh. A simple official banner or a popup wouldve given us an instant relief and all of us would be informed. im a dev myself that’s why im confused whyy they could disable some features, change some ui but not a single message shown anywhere on the web lol. Anyways, at least from this incident, I learned how to backup my list in a gsheet and find more places as a backup plan. Ily mangago tho, you’re still my sanctuary lol
It'll be 2w come Feb 16 by my count (im bad at math) after first run finished. So, give it a few more days b4 u lose all hope. System may still be trying to load stuff or devs r trying to recover data. Wdk. Im hopeful things will return but for me its not a big deal if I have to manually add everything in again cuz I got my lists in other places. If u rmbr any missing mangas id make note of them but id try not to mass add to ur list until the 2w is over to not stress the system too much ( ´∀` )b
I’m not sure you will achieve anything by sending an email rn. If you send an email and complain, allegedly it motivates the devs to work as slow as possible to fix this (as seen in comments). I will not be contacting them because of how poorly they have handled this situation (from user perspective) and take matters into my own hands (I also got nothing back, and my account is from 2015). I suggest you read through multiple threads, because people have contacted them and shared their experience. Good luck!
I completely agree with you. It’s just odd how Suujin who isn’t even apart of the mod team and stuck giving announcements since the dev side decided not to. They could give us a banner like how AO3 does it. Great example of a dev team that does everything for free voluntarily and keeps it professional.
I won’t make any big opinions since I like to stay neutral til official info comes out. But it’s been very confusing from the start since there was no official announcement on the website
idk I'm also waiting for my hundreds or thousands of my already read and reading tags waiting cuz some of them are not easy to find... Will they fixed it? I lay low after this incident I stopped using this site for a while cuz it so sad to see your all reading are all gone. Not to mention the comments I hilariously make just to make me remember it whenever I scroll em up
Only update we have from suujin is what's posted above. Other than that the devs said if you haven't rated or tagged, you won't be getting those back. All we can do now is wait and hope for the best ㅠㅠ some people are moving sites and others are staying off for a while. Do what's best for you~
Imo, best option is to make new lists and not add to the 3 on the site just in case it messes it up (wtr, reading, already read).
I still have nothing...I'm fine with waiting. I know it takes time to get stuff back, but at this point I'm just confused because people said older accounts get their stuff back first, but my account was made in 2020 and still nothing, meanwhile a lot of 2023 account got a lot of stuff back.. and everyone says different thing, some say only tagged or rated manga comes back, some say they have non tagged already back...I wish a dev said something :(
It probably depends who are most lucky or not. My account is from 2015 (non of before 2017 has been recovered, since I didn't tagged anything back then). I still lack 4000+ unrated/untagged, Plus all notes comments are gone. And notifications isn't working properly as it used to be (I used to get lots, now I need to do it manually, which is time consuming scrolling pages. Especially when don't login for a day. As I follow hundreds). Unfortunately everything stopped recovering since February 2nd!! And 500+ was placed at the wrong "Want to Read" list. I don't have much hope getting everything back. Especially not my notes, I used to help me remember some stuff. Fortunately my bookmarks are still there, so I re-added most of them since January 27th, the day I noticed my reading list were all gone.
If all my stuff comes back by the end of the week it’ll be a Valentine’s Day miracle. I’ve been saving “reading” since maybe 2014 and none of those have come back. Looks likes some of my rated “read” series came back but the dates are all over the place (series I KNOW I didn’t read in 2026 are marked as such).
Hello, I'm not sure about what should I do but I waited and my list is still missing all of the 'want to Read's are there any news or I should write an email to the Mgo?
And all my manga that were on the 'reading' ended up in the 'already Read' I readded them in the 'reading' but some are still missing, is there something I should do? Please helppp (/TДT)/
"I'm sorry, one of our data disk was crashed, we lost part of the data of users servral 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"
this is their response guys! if you want proof of the email lmk!
im so sad abt this im getting nothing back ┗( T﹏T )┛
Hello, thank you for your hard work!
One idea I had just now would be to use the Updates to recover the Current Reading List. It seems to me like the data there is still complete, which would at least give almost of what was on the Reading list. Just a suggestion if you read this.
I noticed that a lot of the mangas I have been reading are now in the I want to read list. They are all my tagged ones. Just wanted to let you know, it's not bothering me:)
So the automated message from Mangago about only being able to add back rated/tagged manga seems pretty clear to me. But I've seen some people saying because it's an automated message, it's NOT actually that clear and they're still working on fixing it. I just want to know which is it??? When can we know when we should start adding back the same manga to our lists without ruining our lists if they do somehow manage to recover it.
i think if they were still fixing it they wouldve continued to disable the add to want to/reading/already read button but its already functioning
.
Its been about a week with no changes on my end and with multiple individuals receiving the same message so I'm going to say its safe to assume this is it and to start rebuilding as you see it.
FYI I did get nonrated and nontagged series back, but only from 2016 and before. So I'm assuming that wasn't part of that corrupted disk.
My nonrated and no tagged of 2016 and before, never returned though. My account is from 2015. But I've been here since 2011. (So after making my account, I had been building up my Reading List from 2011 to 2015.). Unfortunately it only started to recover from 2017 and onwards, but only rated/tagged.
Even all my notes are sadly wiped clean. (Comments we type on the screen where we mark our books).
Honestly, I think we all should start rebuilding (I've started) and just hope that if it does get restored, depending on your lists, you won't have to much to do, but if it doesn't get restored at least you're not sitting around waiting for restoration that will never come.
And as a person who works in an IT adjacent field multiple emails with no power behind them won't get the engineers/production groups to work faster for this free website. Instead their motivation may even slow down to a crawl.
Honestly, I think you're just wasting your time reporting anything. (I mean that in the kindest way possible). At the end of the day, this is a free site so I dont think they have much motivation to fix it - or it might not even be possible for them to do so - when this has been a huge set back. Especially since hundreds of people are emailing them non stop about the same questions. I recommend starting fresh and hoping one day in the future your manga will appear~
If you're worried about adding things to your bookmarks, a lot of people have created new accounts so it won't effect anything.
Here's a little hope for some of us still waiting for our reading lists to return. Like most of us here I don't rate any titles, I just add them to my reading or read lists. My read list got some titles back, but still missing a crap load, and my reading list is still gone. However I have received notifications for new chapters that have come out for stuff I know were on my reading list. So our lists still exist somewhere in their database, and their notification feature is updating for them. We just need to give them time to fully update our profiles.
I believe my lists arent ever coming back. I have not made any changes to my lists since they disappeared. I am still stuck at 34 in my want to read list and 8 in my already read list. It has been that way for over a week. This has unfortunately killed my motivation to read anything. :( Also anything that did come back I feel arent all in the right place.
Is it because I dont rate anything? I just dont think about rating them when I add them.
I also realize that. That's why I haven't been reporting anything!(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I can rebuild my reading list. However, among my reading list, I had some great collection that rarely gets updated. I will have difficulty tracking those.
Also, update notifications are kind of acting weird. Today I got notification for a webtoon that I can't see in my current reading list.
Thanks for your sincere response. Appreciate it :))
News! Someone reached to the webmaster to know about the status it's been like 2 weeks and this is what they replied “One of our data disks crashed and we lost part of the user data several days ago. We can only restore manga that were rated or tagged when added to the list.”
So yall can just add them manually cuz babes they ain't getting back, if you wanna read more details and see the sc https://www.mangago.me/thing/about/899637/?filter=date the email you can check it here:
Yeah, that part is normal. Newer updates replace the old ones. I just added all the ones I had received updates from back to my reading lists and went on from there. My list was stuck at 490 in recovery, but didn't move after that, so I began rebuilding. Some say we should wait until the 15th and others say until the end of this month. Others say after the first run the corrupted data is forever lost, so waiting is a waste of time. I waited and then I started rebuilding. I paused, for now, since the 15th isn't so far away, but I'll start again.
I wish there was an official front page banner telling people either way: Sorry we lost your lists, please start rebuilding. OR Sorry about the delay, please give MGO until this date to recover its lost data.
Honestly im really scared about the idea of not getting some of my lists back... like i wont even be able to recover even 10% of whats missing. I thought it was just my reading list that I was missing and I decides to start adding back what I had still in my notifications before it disappears and realized several of them have been put in the wrong list. I had alot of my mangas in the reading list tagged/rated so im hoping to get those back AT LEAST. I'm just nervous bc for the last year ive been lazy and not adding any tags to my reading lists so I fear I may lose that. I also waa smart and saved my info to the wayback machine when we regained comments however thats extremely outdated now
PLEASE UPDATE!
I didn’t know about this issue and went on here like normal and updated my “want to read list” by adding more stuff. Then I noticed I had this exact issue. All my stuff was gone besides all the stuff I added. I can’t even use the search engine bc it keeps typing in random things when I scroll to the second page (or any number page) for more results. I CANT GET ANY OF MY STUFF BACK IF I WANTED TOOOO :(
I must rly upset about this bc I had 130+ in my “want to read” and I def don’t Remeber all the names since most are in another language I don’t speak. I just know that I would like to read it and now I might never get it backkkk
I have only received 2 “read” manga back on my list, the only two I rated…
I have hundreds in my “read,” “reading,” and “want to read,” only two have returned so far
And I have only added back like 20 that I’m currently reading… but like all stories I was reading that were on break or in between seasons I cannot remember or find:(
When will accounts be restored?
For those who haven't seen these ㅠㅠ dont fidget with your lists just yet

https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21213931/
Kinda too late, waiting for so long not receiving updates on the thing i was reading that I started to rebuild it myself.
Been on this app for 7 years and lost over 3k of lists i finally went through the last stage of grief justifying it as "i needed to clean some junk anyway".
Am i still sad? Ofc, but with 0 communication with devs and the only thing we had was that suspicious email i kinda gived up.
If the other stuff i didn't added yet comes back before the end of the month good,if not, well.. we gotta face reality
Yeah, I'm not paying attention to ANOTHER reader/user who is just putting information out there for people to read/obey without any real background saying they work for or with MGO developers. The time for trust has expired.
The lack of communication is horrendous. All it would take is a yellow banner on the front page to quell the questions and reassure people to keep waiting or lament with the people so they can start rebuilding.
Because right now we have too many voices that are saying opposites things. To Wait or to commence to Rebuild.
I did the waiting part; now I'm onto the rebuilding.
Dang that really sucks bc most of mine are not rated. I’ve only rated just a few ones I’ve completed. So about 98% of mine are unrated. They say don’t touch our lists, but if we won’t get the unrated ones back, then I’ll have to disobey that rule and start rebuilding, re-adding, and re-marking my lists one by one. It sucks bc for notifs, I think the most I’ve gotten were 7 updates in one notif recently, whereas it used to be 40-50 updates in each notif. Plus, I know there are a lotta stories that I don’t remember the names of that probably got deleted.
I've started rebuilding too. There too much contradictory information being floated around on this website, that I no longer know who to believe. -_-
As for getting notifications again, if you use your previous notifications, and click on them one-by-one and start adding them to your currently reading list, you'll start to get notifications for those while you rebuild the other parts of your lists.
No fr because the first post I ever read “FAQS MISSING LIST AND RANDOM LOGOUTS” said to wait patiently and I’ll get all my list back, INCLUDING want to read. Now atp I don’t know what to believe. I kinda gave up and just started building it again because it was also stated somewhere in that post that what we add now would just overwrite our previous stuff and I was ok with that. Now we just ain’t getting anything back on the want to read? Yea I might as well continue adding
Whoever this is coming off hella aggressive just because ppl are genuinely confused. I remember asking a question and they responded with str8 attitude and who even are they? Their stuff ain’t even written professionally like Suujin’s
How am I supposed to listen to someone who is as lost as we are and shows no credibility for anything they say? At least Suujin tryna calm the crowd… They just making everyone panic
This is just a normal person on here with no connections to the devs. They are stating things that were said back when this all happened so I wouldn't really pay it much attention. Unfortunately the devs have been radio silent so if you want to rebuild your lists, that is your choice. It's not going to cause more work for the devs considering no one has gotten anything added to their list for a few days or even week. You do you~
Hi everyone!
If as of today I still haven’t recovered any of my manga lists (read, reading, and plan to read), should I assume they’re never coming back?
I haven’t added any new manga to my lists just in case, but it’s getting pretty tedious to check the newly uploaded chapters on the site every day to see if there’s a new chapter from any series I follow. So I’m thinking about rebuilding my lists, at least for the manga that are currently ongoing and that I’m actively reading.
I’d really appreciate any updates about this issue!!
Btw I reached out to the email in the og post and they replied with this "I'm sorry, one of our data disk was crashed, we lost part of the data of users servral 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"
As far as I know that's an automatic responce. Someone wrote in a post here to give devs more time and just wait
The OG post link
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21212683/?page=3
I see, I'm just adding them on my actual account. With help of "My Topics", to track back some mangas that I commented on. While tagging them along the way. Unfortunately I didn't comment on all 4+k that I had lost. But at least can find back the majority of them. Though, it's a slow process. And also time consuming, because I have 400+ pages to go through LOL. Good luck with your list.
Yep. I've been here just as long, although, I created my official account much later. So, I too have a ton of untagged and unrated comics to go through and restore/rebuild.
I said this on another one of these threads, but there is too much conflicting information being thrown around on this site and NONE of it is from official avenues. A simple banner on the home page would clear up much of the questions, doubt, concerns, and stop much of the same comments from being repeated or emailed to the webmaster.
Truthfully, I think MGO did what could do to recover lost data, but now it's up to the readers to rebuild and stop listening to people who aren't official developers who keep saying the lists are coming back without any evidence to backup their claims.
I too made account years later, because I didn't knew about the perks LOL (Made reading easier without ads, multipages and more.) Made my account in 2015 ( ̄∇ ̄")
Everything stopped moving for me, since they unblocked the tagging function on February 2nd. Everyone keeps on getting angry, telling to wait bla bla bla. While others saying it's already finished. I already waited a week more, still nothing. I just slowly rebuild the stuff I can, with help of "My Topics" and some list that I created, to help me track some of the mist titles. I don't think I can recover all 4000+ titles, that are still missing, But, so far I have managed to recover 1000+ of those missing, manually, this week. (I still have 90 pages, out of 455 pages, left to scroll. Then on to my list as much as possible )
Others can just wait months for their list to come back. But I don't think they ever would. At least this site is still alive. That's the most important part. I survived 2011-2015 without any account, so I can survive this too LOL.
But to bad about all my notes, that I add to most titles though, I can't remember everything ( ̄∇ ̄") Over the years, my memory is slowly declining haha, I needed those notes. Oh well ....
I've been on this site since 2012/2013 -- didn't make an official account until I began reading much more and to get those perks!! (Plus it was nice to get to the last page and not be instantly transported to a porn website!!)
I know what you mean about having to go through a lot and try to remember what you read or didn't read. After the site went down in 2021, I made a vow to copy down everything on a spreadsheet and only divided up between which was manga, manhwa, or manhua. I have about 3000 lines to methodically go through, some with notes, many without and trying to rely on my memory as to whether I read it or need to read it, is an adventure in itself. LOL!! But I've been slowly rebuilding and I've gotten at least 2% done.
While I miss my lists, I'm just thankful, as you said, that this website survived the sudden deluge of people registering after the BTO website shut-down. Hopefully, the MGO developers/webmaster has learned from this and created a backup for their backup in case of another sudden crash/glitch.
I just finished going through my 455+ comments LOL. I still lack about 2+k titles on my "Already Read" list. I have a habit of deleting my bookmarks after I'm done reading them (both on my browser, as well as my bookmark list here). I'm just glad my Bookmarks list is intact here, which are those I'm still reading. Unfortunately I didn't note down those I wanted to read/ kept for later. But oh well~...
I only got the stuff I rated back on my lists. Missing a lot. Looks like a lost cause now? I've been holding off on adding stuff back in in case it messes it up further, but my lists have been stagnant for more than a week now. Wish there was an official announcement that we should just assume we're not getting more stuff back.
I would like to know that as well... I've even read a message from someone claiming to be a developer of the site, telling people to follow that "official" account ヽ(`Д´)ノ Like, why spread even more misinformation when we have no real way to receive "official" updates on anything going on and we're already very upset!
What I mean is under the want to read/reading/already read list on your homepage there should be album then under that there should be "My List" if you had added anything in to "My list" it should be there. If you look on my account on my homepage you can see that I've added what I read/reading/want to read in "my list" and I've just titled mine as . ,..,...,.... etc all of mine are there
I % understand you , because since Bato shut down, I started to record my reading and already read list. AND THAT IN a matter of hours, Manago does a reboot and there was nothing, blank but then I got hope cuz they started to come back but it has stopped for a while now and I’m starting to panic again I had 3335 in my want to read, and it is one of my most important ones yet. I really hope they’ll come back •~•
It was sad realized that we lost almost all our mangas but what i'm saddest about is the ones i put a Review in and Lost it:( bc i use MyAnimeList and not all the mangas/manhuas that i read are in there, so i put'em here and now i Lost them but at least it wasn't all the things that i read like You guys who don't have a back up, so i highly recommend yall to add tour list and everything in that page
This is such a good idea, imma steal it. Unfortunately I don’t comment on every single manga I read and now I’ve lost 1k worth of mangas in between want to read/reading and read. What pains me the most is the “reading” ones, I’ve got such bad memory and I loved to go back to some of those and see if they finally got updated after YEARS, now I won’t know and the fomo is killing me
Will be nice if we can get an update to this post from an actual staff , and not someone else. I had over 800 in my current reading list , and over 2k in my want to read which was waiting for their turn once something in the current read is completed. I do member some of them , but i had titles that are really old and will be hard to find them now.
Honestly them not posting one is both making me nervous but hopeful at the same time. Like they used to post yellow banners with announcements and shit. I’m hoping that hopefully if this really is it and we aren’t getting them back that they should send an official thing on the site. The hopefulness is more towards them maybe still trying to recover and fix it but who knows
This is probably going to be the last time I post on this thread...
But I honestly believe, after the glitch or server crash, MGO did all they could to recover what data they could. And in this situation, it means only the comics that were rated or tagged for most readers were able to be saved. There are plenty of other unofficial threads saying "DON'T TOUCH YOUR LISTS!!" but I think that is up to the account holder. If you want to wait, continue waiting, however, I, and many others, are no longer waiting for MGO to restore our lists. It's time to be proactive and try to reclaim as much as you can since there is no official MGO statement from the developers or the webmaster.
Rebuilding Your Lists:
1. Use your previous (old) notifications to add to your reading lists. (This has been tested and works to start receiving notices again.)
2. If you have any bookmarks -- re-add them to your lists.
3. Use any previous comments (topics) you've left on stories here to help your lists.
4. Use your history (clock icon) to add to your lists. (If you see nothing, click the "Show All" link. It may show something.)
5. If you have a favorite author find a story written by them and start adding the comics listed under their name.
6. If you follow someone look through their lists and start adding to your lists from there.
7. If you have a favorite unofficial scan group -- use their website to add to your list. If they are defunct then use Baka Manga or another avenue to see what series they worked on to add to your lists.
hello! thank you sm for this. do you have any idea if the old notifications is gonna appear since last year because i got updates daily but with only 1 or 2 numbers of stories as of now (before i get notifications of updates of like 13 a day). i scrolled down and just saw the last notification for the update was on jan 31
Hello!! I went through all my old notifications and re-added them to my currently reading list. And I now get two (2) notifications per day like it was for me before the site glitch. You should start getting notifications when you add those to your currently reading list. But, please, remember that notifications only work when new updates are available for those comics you chose for notification.
Ok I had a question!! I'm just wondering.. Because I see people's lists slowly coming back with their tags so i know that's gonna happen but what about the comments when you put it into the reading/already read sections?? Will it save what you wrote cs I wrote stuff for all of them. And does it also depend on if you put on visible for me or no? ՞߹ - ߹՞
So i still haven't gotten my full list back. 90% is gone. The webmaster said one of the data disk had crashed and lost part of their user data. But they can still recover some part of the data if you had 'rating' and 'tags' on your manga list. Unfortunately for me, i lost all of them forever. I got like thousand mangas listed which I didn't rate ╥﹏╥ all of my babies from 2020 is gone. Please mourn with me.
Listen you can't listen to what they telling you, sure a disk might've crashed but it's not going by just tags or whatever because I got some back that weren't rated or tagged but by now you should've just started rebuilding your list like the rest of us don't wait because they have no reason to work hard to give us our lists back. It is an illegal site so don't expect much.
Same here. I also got back some of the manhwas that weren’t tagged at all. My reading list is still empty and some of the manhwas/mangas that were previously in my reading list are now showing up in my ‘Want to Read’ list. I’m also receiving updates for two or three manhwas that used to be in my reading list. Even though the list appears empty I’m somehow still getting notifications for their new chapter releases.
I'm right there with you!!! ╥﹏╥ ╥﹏╥ I was close to 2,000 on TBR and 1,000 on reading...lost them all. It's impossible to tag them before reading them, sometimes I was adding them in such a hurry I never stop to think to tag them...it's so frustrating ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σbut mostly sad...srly, I got drunk ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ on it yesterday, that was my mourning! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
i still only have less than half of my manga restored after the first patch - but i know for a fact that i submit a rating for every reading/already read manga that i add to my profile. is there a different way to view publications that i have rated, rather than waiting for everything to be restored? my already read has been sitting at <850 for a while now, and i figure i won’t get the rest back, so i want to start restoring my list on my own…
Rebuilding Your Lists:
1. Use your previous (old) notifications to add to your reading lists. (This has been tested and works to start receiving notices again.)
2. If you have any bookmarks -- re-add them to your lists.
3. Use any previous comments (topics) you've left on stories here to help your lists.
4. Use your history (clock icon) to add to your lists. (If you see nothing, click the "Show All" link. It may show something.)
5. If you have a favorite author find a story written by them and start adding the comics listed under their name.
6. If you follow someone look through their lists and start adding to your lists from there.
7. If you have a favorite unofficial scan group -- use their website to add to your list. If they are defunct then use Baka Manga or another avenue to see what series they worked on to add to your lists.
I can see that this faq is quite outdated, here is one that's more up to date and that should answer people's questions such as if they should contact the webmaster or why they aren't getting a response.
Here's the link, hope it helps:

I was just about to unfollow this thread when I saw this link pop-up. I've seen that thread and the other one it redirects to for more information. NONE of these people are official representatives of this website. They are just guessing and relaying hopeful directives without any real backend access to the people who run and maintain MGO.
Follow their advice if you want and not touch your lists; however, I, and many others, have decided to rebuild our lists instead waiting around for what may or may not come. Honestly, with no official statement from MGO, I do feel that it's offensive to tell the readers of this site to not try to regain what was lost due baseless of restoration rumors floating around this website.
If you haven’t tagged any of the manga then chances of them coming back are pretty slim. Unfortunately at this point your best bet is to try and add your mangas back manually. That’s what I have started to do. I feel the frustration as I had over 5000 mangas saved and I have lost all but 40 of them.
There is an option when you add the story to the want to read, read or already read lists to add a tag…from what I’ve heard is that if you did not add a tag to the stories when you added them to the lists then they will probably not be coming back…I’ve lost everything and now I have to try to find them all again…it has been almost a full month and nothing has changed so now I’m starting to re-add them with a random tag so I don’t lose them again
i did, but on to read i think i only tagged the old ones i added before, and u cant really rate them, i remember it being 900+ and on currently reading i had 1k+ all of them are rated but only old ones are tagged too cause i eventually got tired of tagging everything i read, on already read i had like 300+ all of them are tagged and rated TT
im guessing i won't be able to recover the others back and everything that was recovered went to "already read" TT
Mine has barely returned and no updates to the lists in the past 2-ish weeks.
I don't remember the exact numbers, but the 'want to read' list was over 1000 and the other two also up there. I've had no adds to my 'currently reading' list, the ones there right now are some I added to get notifications (from as far back as my old notifications went back before everything disappeared). I only get notifications right now from those on my 'currently reading' and 'already read' lists.
So is it still being updated? Looks like many people are missing a lot still. Hope it's not lost x(
my reading tab and want to read tab is completely gone even though i had most of them rated, and even wrote a comment on every one of them. i lost all my comments that i spent a lot of time writing (yeah i know its not that deep but i did use the comment space to review manga and it helped me remember my fav moments/characters and to sort out my feelings on anything i read so to me it was important, i understand it's not a priority though) i would love to get everything back but sometimes things don't work out. my want to read was truly smt i didnt expect to lose which was truly shitty bc there were a lot of manga there that i don't recall the names of at all we'll live though i'm sure i'll find them again
HELP ME IM SO HEARTBROOKEN WHY MY LISTS STILL NOT COMING BACK?????? IM WAITING FOR MONTHS BRO MY FINISHED MANGA NEEDED ADD LIKE 200+ BUT NOT YET FOR MY WANT TO READ, AND READING MANGA I HAD THEM LIKE 100+ BUT THEY ARE STILL NOT COMING BACK SOMEONE TOLD ME MY LISTS WILL BE BACK ON FEB 6 BUT ITS NOT,,,,, HELP???? ITS BEEN LOT OF WEEKS RN
Suujin just wanted to cool down the anger wave of readers? Now that everyone is in depression/waiting mode no one is going to complain... well played I would say, however I am not here to berate him/her but suggest all readers to make there accounts not just in a single site which can go down but make a account where mangas are not available but can still be updated as reading or already read... you will have that account forever (not here to advertise, you all can make wherever you want).
Hello, it's been about a month since I asked about my liste of mangas that has been erased. U guys told me that the liste will be back almost in 2 weeks. I can't pinpoint exactly when but I noticed that only 100 of the lost liste is back but I had over 3000 mangas. Am I the only one in this situation, is it normal, should I still keep on waiting or should I start asking for assistance at this point.
There is no official announcement here. At least, not anymore since years ago (where we used to have a yellow bar with headlines explaining what had happened to the page). Nowadays non of their staff would reassure us, nor explain what the plans are. Only gives out Bot replies to messages. People who told you to wait, are just readers like you and me.
They stopped fixing things since they unlocked the tagging function on February 2nd. That time I still missed 4000+. I waited a week more, but decided to listen to myself. And start rebuilding what I can (took me a week to recover 2000+ manually, with help of Comments Topics I had done over the years. I can no longer remember the rest of it)
Only your tagged and or rated books was recovered. And a few non-tagged/rated, that wasn't affected. So, don't expect to get your full list back. And just rebuild it (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
Totally agree. But I still can’t wrap my head around rebuilding my lists with thousands of works accumulated over the years… i cant believe all my comments for each rated book, like my own little secret diary, are all gone. Some of the reviews I left are whole essays ranging from long rants on how I wouldve preferred dipping my head into the toilet than waste my time reading shit to scholarly insights and critical analysis of mainstream GL media in a macho-feudal and late stage capitalist society—highly personal thinkpieces that I love to return to whenever I want to reread something because I literally have a memory of a goldfish. Im so so heartbroken that I refuse to believe all of them are gone ╥﹏╥
I hope we can at least get our comments back T^T
The majority of the stuff I previously added to a tracking site like MAL or Anilist, but I'm terrible at keeping up with it, (it's just easier doing it on here!) so I probably would have to figure out maybe 3-4 years of titles to add on there. But what I'm really upset about it is the comments/notes! I keep track of what chapters I'm on and write mini reviews and status updates as I'm reading. And sometimes I love to go back to see what my thoughts were when I read 'said' series. The amount of time I spend writing all that and it's just gone?! Ugh! I'm so pissed! 11 year old account, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of comments/notes gone! (╥﹏╥)
I read that the comments likely will not come back, but I read on another post that they will. At this point, I don't know! I'm crossing my fingers for them to come back! I'll do anything to get my comments/notes back!
I went for a trip to japan so i told myself ill let this thing marinate and hopefully by the time im back home everything will come back, well im back a month and a half later and nothing came back:') extremely sad BUT what can one do-i also don’t plan on remaking that list damn i don’t remember 1000+ titles. Let the new list begin!(this time i will rate EVERYTHING)
....Nope!! Sorry!! The ONLY titles that were returned were ones that were tagged or rated or both. If you did not either TAG or RATE the titles you added in your WntRead Reading or AlrR lists they did not come back...
There is a huge rabbit hole you can go down and there are questions in the FORUMS about it, whether here or redd!t have covered this topic and SS from the webmaster stating data was lost and it it wasn't tagged or rated...it gone etc.
Start new pumpkin! and tag them at least *yaoi *josei *str8 *action w/e at least by doing this it will anchor your title down in your list:)) Happy Reading
there's another update where they explained better why the process is so slow, and part of that, is that people that touches their list again and remark or unmark stuff puts them in a tight spot because they can't use the same code to helo them get their lists back, now they need to figure something else out so it's not lost forever...
Yep. Sorry. When that other site went down a flood of new users overwhelmed the server, which was having smaller issues before the influx. With the deluge of users several servers crashed. However the server that contained the lists died. The devs worked hard pulling all the data they could for everybody some were luckier than others. Now we're all in the stages of rebuilding and backing up our lists.
Same for me. I muted this since January!! Multiple times. Whether people replied to my comment or not, doesn't matter. Here I am getting it again for the imp time, today. I lost track of count, how many times I muted this.
Either people should stop replying to this post, or OP should delete this. Because this would never end. I don't want to be constant reminded of loosing 4000+ (that I could only recover half of it, manually. Loosing precious time)
Let me start by saying that everything Im sharing comes from spending many years on this site, observing patterns across multiple accounts, and reading user reports. Im not the dev, mod, or admin but Ive had experience with systems which is why I can answer your “whys” and “what ifs”
THIS IS THE SITUATION
Jan19 - Bto closes
⠀⠀⠀*start of traffic surge to Mgo
⠀⠀⠀*some features have slowed down a bit
Jan24 - Mgo goes down
⠀⠀⠀*caused by backend updates or overloaded servers
Jan26 - Mgo comes back up
⠀⠀⠀*site is online again but very buggy: missing lists, random logouts, slow pages, no notifications, etc
⠀⠀⠀*this is when the system started gradually restoring lists
WHY IS THE SITE SO BUGGY
- Mgo uses separate parts for different things. One to SAVE your manga data (aka database/the memory), another one to DISPLAY your saved Manga data (aka UI/what you see), and another one for your browser/session data (aka cookies, login state, etc/this also connects the database and ui). When everything is working properly, these three systems stay in sync (eg. when you save a manga, it will show up in your list right away)
The system will communicate with Database, like hey this is the user that logged in go tell UI the things they should display. So Database will tell UI, like hey based on what's given to me, these are the saved data that belongs to this user, these are what you should display. HOWEVER, because of the gradual restoring of lists (which puts a heavy load on the site), the System, UI, and Database are not able to communicate properly, so theyre not in sync. This is why we’re encountering the issues
I DON'T GET NOTIFICATIONS
- since the System, UI, and Database are not in sync, Mgo cant correctly link your acc to your saved mangas so notifs dont show up/update properly. This is temporary and should be fixed when the system is in sync again
WHY DO I KEEP GETTING LOGGED OUT
- Mgo keeps track of your login/session info. But if this isnt tracked properly, Mgo may log you out randomly/repeatedly
WHERE DID MY LIST GO
- Your mangas are not deleted. Theyre still saved in the database. Mgo is gradually restoring everyone’s list from the oldest to most recent marked mangas. Follow this post to get notified about updates: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21092806/
WILL I GET MY LIST BACK
- YES. Do note that while your list is coming back, you might notice some things are off:
⠀⠀⠀*all mangas going into Already Read even if theyre originally marked as Want to read or Reading
⠀⠀⠀*deleted mangas showing up again
⠀⠀⠀*missing notes/summaries
⠀⠀⠀*only rated mangas showing for some users
(I can explain why but it will be too long for this FAQ. idk how to explain without sounding too technical so i might also have to explain the basic terms. You can ask in the comments if youre curious)
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
WHY DO OTHERS HAVE THEIR MANGAS BACK ALREADY, WHILE MINE IS STILL MISSING
- think of this like we're reading through a giant BOOK of everyone’s manga list, arranged by the exact time each manga was added (aka timestamps). Each timestamp is like a page in the book, and we read them from the oldest timestamps to the newest. Right now, we are reading timestamps from Feb 2022 (as of writing this post), so any timestamp dated later than Feb 2022 wont appear YET
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
HOW SOON WILL THEY COMEBACK / WHEN IS THE RESTORATION EXPECTED TO FINISH
- how soon your lists fully comes back depends on how far along we are in the “book” and how many timestamps we still need to read. If yours already started to appear again then thats a good sign. it means your account is already in the queue and the rest should continue to come back (gradually, not all at once)
If theres another run, expect anywhere from a few extra hours to about one extra day. A full second pass could push it to Feb 4–5, but a partial cleanup run would likely finish around Feb 2–3.
IS THERE A WAY TO EXPORT MY LIST
- heres one way to export your lists: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Drj0CviUhrAmZlU-DC-AtxGFQoH1_PYQ81b2Vzu82w/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.acjitdw8v0h thank @Gurl for this solution by following/sending them a message. This is their account: https://www.mangago.me/home/people/3402357/home/
IMPORTANT: WHEN TO CONTACT SUPPORT
- PLEASE WAIT. Do not email the devs yet. The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. 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
EDIT TO ADD: Youre welcome yall (i cant reply to each one of you youre too many ) Im just glad I could help clarify things! Ask away if you have more questions so I can keep updating this community-notes for everyone! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Im so relieved its coming back however ik that our tags and ratings r still there even if the manhwas aren't in our lists anymore one thing that is missing that im so scared shitless will remain missing even after our lists come back is the summaries. I WROTE SO MANY SUMMARIES UNDER MY MANGA PLS TELL ME THEY'LL COME BACK TOO WHEN THE LISTS ARE FIXED.
You're welcome yall! For those who don't get notifications:
I DON'T GET NOTIFICATIONS
- even if your mangas are saved, notifications depend on your login info to know which profile to send them to. If this info is out of sync, mgo cant properly link updates to your profile, which is why you might not get notified.
I lost all manga/manhwa that are saved in all want to read, reading, and already read. Problem is not all of them are currently bookmarked so I'm panicking a bit rn, but if it will return then all is good. Regarding the notifs, I am also not getting any on. It is impossible that there's a problem in my login info since I'm only using two devices for it...
Okay, this calms me down.... I haven't been active in reading my daily dose of yaoi cause I've been busy lately. I only found out about this just today, after reading this one manhwa and saw a comment saying that their list were gone. I immediately checked mine and sure enough, mine were also gone but thanks for the info, cause I noticed I still got notifications when mangas/manhwas have an update, so at least this calm me down.
"It is impossible that there's a problem in my login info since I'm only using two devices for it..."
the login info i meant is not the username and password. the issue is on the technical side of things specifically the login token. Even if youre only using two devices, if that token gets corrupted, expired, or desynced from mangago's servers, the site can temporarily lose track of which manga and notifications belong to your account. I hope this explains things :)
Please send your concern to the webmaster by sending an email to [email protected]
there isnt a fixed time bc the site is restoring all saved manga in chronological order across every user, starting from the oldest accs and earliest saved entries. This is also why if youve noticed, older accs are seeing their manga appear first relative to the rest of the site.
so how soon your manga fully come back depends on how far along the site wide rebuild process is and how much data they still have to process. If yours have already started reappearing, that’s a good sign. it means your account is already in the queue and the rest should continue to come back gradually rather than all at once :)
this is my answer to a similar question: the login info i meant is not the username and password. the issue is on the technical side of things like the login token. Even if youre only using two devices (or on your specific case, even if your logged in correctly), if that token gets corrupted, expired, or desynced from mangago's servers, the site can temporarily lose track of which manga and notifications belong to your account. I hope this explains things :)
CLARIFICATION RE THE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER
- its not about how old your acc is. think of this like we're reading through a giant BOOK of everyone’s manga list, arranged by the exact time each manga was added (aka timestamps). Each timestamp is like a page in the book, and we read them from the oldest timestamps to the newest. Right now (as of writing this post), we are reading timestamps from March 2020, so any timestamp dated later than March 2020 wont appear YET.
you joined on June 29, 2019. You can see it on your profile page, near your profile picture.
again, its not about when you created your account but when you started marking mangas. Im assuming you started marking mangas wayyyyy later than the date you created your account since nothing has appeared yet :)
Hey I don't mean to bother, I know u said it has nothing to do with how long ur acc is. I have been on the site for 9 yrs now, some things are coming back, but not how they originally were. I declutterd, I had over 7000+ stories all togather and had cut them down a whilllllllle back, but everything is coming back, wither I had deleted it off my list or not ┗( T﹏T )┛ some I know I didn't even add. This is gonna be weird but it felt refreshing for me to see my lists empty felt like a fresh start, is thier a way to reset an acc? Or empty my list in bulk instead of individually removing stories?
Also, when they do come back, someone said there's a way you can save em on your laptop here's the link
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Drj0CviUhrAmZlU-DC-AtxGFQoH1_PYQ81b2Vzu82w/edit?usp=drivesdk
hi! no worries. remember the book and timestamp analogy: "think of this like we're reading through a giant BOOK of everyone’s manga list, arranged by the exact time each manga was added (aka timestamps). Each timestamp is like a page in the book, and we read them from the oldest timestamps to the newest."
When you make changes to your want to read/reading/already read lists (eg. transfer from Reading to Already read), the timestamps of those changes will also be recorded. so going back to the book and timestamp analogy, we're still reading the timestamps for Aug 2020 (as of writing this reply), so if we havent reached the timestamp for those changes yet, your mangas wont appear correctly.
And to add to that, as far as I remember even if timestamps are arranged from oldest to newest, theyre also grouped by Already read, Reading, and Want to read. and they have a certain order o be followed when added back, which is why if youve noticed only Already read mangas are coming back first (but everything else will come back eventually and correctly. dont worry)
So to clarify your question, there's a certain order to things which is why theyre not showing correctly YET. And about resetting an account, no there's no quick and easy way for this except for deleting them one by one
this is my answer to the same question:
As far as I remember, your comments will come back when everything's been added to your lists. There's a certain order to things
Already read > Reading > Want to read
And somewhere in between those or even at the end, the non-rated mangas will also be back as well as your comments
here's one way to export your lists: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Drj0CviUhrAmZlU-DC-AtxGFQoH1_PYQ81b2Vzu82w/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.acjitdw8v0h
thank @Gurl for this solution. This is their account: https://www.mangago.me/home/people/3402357/home/
following the book and timestamp analogy, we're currently reading timestamps for Sep 2020 (as of writing this reply). this means only mangas marked on or before Sep 2020 will come back to people's lists. for mangas marked on 2023, expect them to appear at least 14 hours from now.
again, it's not about how old your acc is, it's about when youve started marking mangas
Hello! Thank you so much for the wonderful informations. I would just like to ask some clarifications regarding this matter. When I opened the site earlier, I noticed that my open tab (story) that I've already labeled as "Reading" was gone, I clicked on it again only to find out that all of my reading lists are gone. So will that be okay if I've labeled the story as "Reading" once again even though I already did it before losing all my reading lists?
this is my answer to a similar question:
As far as I remember, your comments will come back when everything's been added to your lists. There's a certain order to things
Already read > Reading > Want to read
And somewhere in between those or even at the end, the non-rated mangas will also be back as well as your comments
Hi, I think there might be something wrong with the restore. I specifically remember, that I had 881 in my already read, 152 in want to read, and 553 (? this is the only one I'm not sure, but a bit over 550) in my reading lists. Right now I got over 1000 on my aready read, so probably manga from reading or want to read got transferred to my already read. Maybe it's intended bahavior and in the next step it will be divided into all 3 lists, but I just wanted to let you know.
If you want some more details ask away, I work in IT, so you can be technical with me :)
Hey I honestly don't know how else to explain this without getting too technical but I'll try. Everytime you login to your account, the system will create a session ID for you and a login token. This is what the system uses so that it will know which manga and notifications belong to your account. The system will then communicate with the database, like hey this is the user that logged in tell UI the things they should display. And then Database will communicate with UI, like hey based on what's given to me, these are the saved data that belongs to this user, these are what you should display.
The problem is the system, ui, and database are not in sync so they're not able to communicate properly. This is why we're encountering several issues: random logins, no update notifications, manga lists gone, slow loading pages etc.
As for the likelihood of getting your lists back--this is not a question or by chance thing, you WILL get your manga list back. Right now as of writing this reply mangas marked on or before Dec 2020 should be back on everyone's list by now.
I hope this clarifies your question in any way(???)
You are awesome thank you for everything you do here. This might be an unpopular opinion but... I wont mind having 1 banner with ads somewhere... You guys should get compensated for all this hard work or maybe add a patreon link somehwere? Could it be possible to add authors patreons too? Or their twitter links? So much potential... You are doing amazing already of course, thank you for your hard work
sorry it’s just yhat all my want to read, reading, and already read are currently still all zero, meaning nothing is coming back (i have like 500+ each to my reading and already read, while 100+ to want to). with this, i do not get notifications anymore to the manhwas/manga i’m reading, and i thought they were slowly getting back to the accounts made in 2020. i also don’t get the bookmark thing, was it the same as selecting the manhwa i’ve read to those three (want to, reading, and already read)? thank you btw, i really appreciate for your patience and answering all the questions.
Again it's not about when your account was made but about when you started marking mangas. Right now Jan 2020 mangas should be back on people's list. If your account was made on or before this date but still don't see anything yet, it just means you started adding mangas on a way later date. Please be patient. I hope this answers your question :)
So I'm only reading this now cause I'm busy with school but I saw I got 42 notifications and pressed it nothing was there but, for me when I go straight to the notifications via link the links top are in bold white when there new and I haven't opened them yet so if I do that after the mgo is fixed will they still be in bold or not? Cause I'll ss my last notif if they are gonna be in bold?
Here's my answer to another user with similar question:
Hey I honestly don't know how else to explain this without getting too technical but I'll try. Everytime you login to your account, the system will create a session ID for you and a login token. This is what the system uses so that it will know which manga and notifications belong to your account. The system will then communicate with Mr. Database, like hey this is the user that logged in tell Mrs. UI the things they should display. And then Mr. Database will communicate with Mrs. UI, like hey based on what's given to me, these are the saved data that belongs to this user, these are what you should display.
The problem is the system, ui, and database are not in sync so they're not able to communicate properly. This is why we're encountering several issues: random logins, no update notifications, manga lists gone, slow loading pages etc.
All we can do is wait patiently since this is on the technical side of things :)
I hope this clarifies your question in any way(???)
Heyy quick question!! I know u said that there are many accounts in mangago that led to this issue now but my account was created in 2019. How long do you think it will take for everybody or atleast accounts below 2020 to get back their saved manhwas? Like just an estimation from you, if you dont know its okay!
Thank you so much for this chain! I was on another and passed on the link to this one.
I started re-adding mangas to my reading list so that I didn't forget them. But my previous saves to my list will have way more details (I usually added a summary in my private comment for me since I'm reading so many at the same time).
Should I remove them now so it doesn't mess up or will my old lists get precedence? Sorry if you've already answered this I went through but couldn't see a response but I have bad eyesight so ╥﹏╥
hihi I saw a few ppl saying that only manhwa that aren't saved as "only visible to me" will come back into our lists T-T has anyone gotten back their manhwa that is saved as "only visible to me"?
I have a habit of saving my reads as "only visible to me" and currently only 5 manhwas in my "already read" list came back (they're all saved as visible to everyone) its been 2 days and none of my other manhwas came backk (/_;)
Hi guys, an update the mangas are coming back but it's taking alot of time as it was discussed before that it's rolling back a big data base so it's taking time and let's hope that it comes back completely in a day or two more.
So don't worry it will be taking some time and for those whose accounts were from 2021 and all it will be some days as mine is 2020 and it's still loading. So let's hope for the best and wait . ┗( T﹏T )┛
Hi! no worries. removing them now wont retrieve the original summaries you wrote earlier. but if youre worried about interfering with the restoration, re-adding mangas shouldnt break or reset anything. the most it will do is just basically update the date, tags, and summaries you added.
this would be my answer based on general experience with how updating data usually works. Im not directly familiar with this specific scenario. but in most cases, your older saved data should still take precedence once its restored :)
You can ask @Jenny more about your concern they have info from several people about their experience with the manga restoration. maybe then can help: https://www.mangago.me/home/people/2200409/home/
hi! i hope this question isnt redundant, bc i havent seen any explanation about this specific scenario, but is there a worst-case possibility that the list skipping/losing things while recovering, or is it (if nothing goes wrong) guaranteed to be fixed and everything on the list will return?
i'm asking this bc the rate of my list returning is starting to worry me (lol). from what i've gathered, i assumed that the lists are restored based on the time the series are marked by user, so im gonna assume the progress is somewhere in early 2021. my current already-read list is at 109 series in feb 2021, but i had a screenshot of my already-read list being at 1911 in may 2021, which... i dont think reading/adding 1800 in 3 months make sense (or if it does, im assuming my list would regenerate more often like how it was at the start, but it's been pretty stagnant for hours)
so i was wondering, what timestamp are we in rn? and is it a "one-time reading" process in which if the system is now, for example, reading for 2022, then the "book" for 2020-2021 is already completed and wont be looked at again, or is this a repeated process until everything is back and running? if it is going on a linear and the system never reread the backlog again, and along the way we realize the numbers dont add up in our reading list, is there still a possibility for them to return? ig it all boils down to: is this something i should be worried about at all or am i just 100% overthinking this..
sorry if i sound impatient or if you've answered to questions similar to this, it's just making me nervous lol. i appreciate the work! and i hope this site can return to normal sooner rather than later.
Its there. Mangas you added from Aug 2017 to April 2021 already restored back to your list. The mangas will be added gradually rather than all at once which is why I said earlier, mangas added ON OR BEFORE Dec 2020 should be on your already read list. This means that all mangas thats been added AFTER Dec 2020 arent back yet. But that was earlier when I replied to you. Right now as of writing this reply, mangas added ON OR BEFORE April 2021 should be back on your list.
Please read this part of the FAQs again:
WHY DO OTHERS HAVE THEIR MANGAS BACK ALREADY, WHILE MINE IS STILL MISSING
- please note that it's not about how old your acc is, it's about when youve started marking mangas. think of this like we're reading through a giant BOOK of everyone’s manga list, arranged by the exact time each manga was added (aka timestamps). Each timestamp is like a page in the book, and we read them from the oldest timestamps to the newest. Right now, we are reading timestamps from March 2020 (as of writing this post), so any timestamp dated later than March 2020 wont appear YET
HOW SOON WILL THEY COMEBACK
- how soon your lists fully comes back depends on how far along in the "book" we are and how many timestamps we still need to read. But to give you an idea, we will finish reading all 'Already read' timestamps in at least 1day and 8hrs from now (as of writing this post). If yours have already started reappearing, that’s a good sign. it means your account is already in the queue and the rest should continue to come back gradually rather than all at once
no need. I can view your profile :)
Your list is already in the process of being restored. The 241 entries in Already Read confirm that your data isn’t lost and that your account is currently being processed
The fact that your Want to Read and Reading are still empty does not mean your list is not back at all. Those categories have not been restored yet for anyone. As ive already explained, this is a gradual process, not something that happens all at once.
To reiterate my answer to a similar question: the lists are restored by category in phases. so for example it goes like
Already read > Reading > Want to read
those categories are processed separately, and then somewhere in between those categories or even at the end, the non-rated mangas will be processed as well as your comments
I'm a bit confused with "I ADDED NEW MANGAS TO MY EMPTY LIST, WILL IT OVERWRITE THE OLD ONE
- no. It will just be added to the original list when it comes back" does that mean it will overwrite what we add now to our list or just combine? My apologies if this is a stupid question, English isn't my first language so I get confused a lot xD
nah no worries at all. what it means is that 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.
let me know if this is clarifies it, so i can update the FAQs for everyone. thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Your list is already in the process of being restored. The 20 entries in Already Read confirm that your data isn’t lost and that your account is currently being processed

Wanted to ask a question. I was slowly getting my lists back since 2 days ago, and then I added some new titles in my "reading" and "already read" lists, and now both of them have stopped (aka I'm not getting back any of my older data).
You did write that "It will just be added to the original list when it comes back". in your post, but... is there a reason why the list hasn't been coming back since I added the new titles? TT Worried cause my lists are well over 12k+ and now it's stuck at 300ish
Thank you so much for all the clarification you're an angel. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ We can already see things coming back slowly.
I'm so mad at myself for only reading this now and starting adding things back, now it messed up the timestamp in my books and I won't know the specific time a added thing back then ( I do like looking back at the dates ಥ_ಥ) again thanks for the infos, you're the goat (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Chill, you joined recently, so you also added your manga to your lists recently. They have over 10 yrs of data to restore and they are doing so from the oldest to newest. It will take a few days to finish. I still don't have on my lists manga I added last year, so it's the same for you. I've been here for almost 10 yrs and for now I got back only the things I added to my lists years and years ago. Patience is the key.
Is anyone else getting this problem where mangago put every single mangas/manhwas/manhuas in my already read list even though I saved it in the other two list and how long is my list fully recover because it only does 1 or 2 added to my read list per day. I already started to put things on the list cause of how slow it is. Another thing is will that effect my list in anyway? If so I’m dumb af.
Hello guys, to anyone panicking (like me lol) I joined in 2019 and I have like 5 mangas back in my reading list as of now. I'm just posting this to let people that are in the same situation as me know that they’re not alone and i believe it’s either taking a bit more time to get everything back or it’s in the process. So no worries and let’s be patient ^^

Hi! I'd like to ask if the comments that were written for each manga were saved as well? im talking about the comments that have an option to only be shown to the owner of the account, the one that appears at the bottom when u want to mark a manga as want to read/reading/already read.
I noticed mine disappeared on some of the mangas that came back on my list.. is it not coming back? ;-;
Hello, I'd just like to know how to get our login infos in sync again. I'm not sure if there is a problem with my logins, I haven't been logged out of the site in my device for a while. I tried signing out and logging back in but I'm not sure if that resynced it. I haven't got any notifications since the 25th ╥﹏╥

Hello! I wanted to ask if your reading lists were still gone since i wanted to test something. Some people's reading lists werent erased so i wanted to know if you checked on my profile how many if already read do you see? I used to have 32 already read but now i have 0. I also checked your profile and noticed that you do have some stuff on your lists and i would like to know if thag was you who remade your lists or mangago actually did fix the issue.
It will be back. Please follow this post for the updates: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21092806/
Some of my list got updated but i noticed some of those become "ALREADY READ" even though i've never mark them for "ALREADY READ" coz some were still ongoing/not completed. Some that i've mark before with "I WANT TO READ" become "ALREADY READ" . I don't know if i will be happy or not coz my list god updated
Has anyone from 2016-2017 got all of their stuff back yet? I've been stuck on 63 for 2 days now and I'm getting a bit scared as I had like 3k+ in already read and maybe 2k+ in reading and maybee a 1k in wanting to lmaoo
I understand it's a long process and ngl it is just gonna be a waiting game for everyone.
I'm certain everything will return eventually I'm just a little scared of not getting it back and genuinely curious if anyone else has all of their already/reading/want to back yet (⊙…⊙ )
Hey!! For me, the only mangas that have restored are those that I left a rating on, whilst all the other ones that I just simply added to my already read list haven't shown up at all even though it was before 2020 :(( I'm wondering if this is supposed to happen and if it will all come back eventually!! (Sorry if this has already been answered I couldn't find it >_<)

Hi, is it possible for some bookmarked stories that you didn’t put into “already read” list to end up in there with the bug? Bc I’m noticing some stories I never saved in that list and were previously in my “currently reading” have ended up in the “already read” list
I’m hoping it’s apart of the bug and it’ll fix over time but from what I’m seeing on my acc and story that has completed status has put itself in the “already read” regardless if I’ve put it there or not
(P.S - thank you for all the current information tho, it’s really helpful)
Helloo sorry if this question has been answered, but will the comments we made while saving the mangas come back soon too? I could have sworn i made them when saving each and every one Ive read but they arent showing up they were such a big help in helping me track where i last read and what i felt about them
Might be helpful to note that there's a way to download the lists in excels without installing an extension
https://www.mangago.me/thing/about/892059/
i was so upset when i suddenly found out everything's gone. i literally had lost the energy to read when i thought i lost all my reading lists with those long comments that i wrote. so this post genuinely saved me, thank you so so much ༎‿༎ and you made it so that it's easy to understand, aahh thankyouu!!
i actually thought it would go back again because although the lists are gone, the history is still there and my account's time of creation is still the same—so it's not a reset and just a temporary error, i had hope. that's why i didn't mess too much with the lists, but it's been days and nothing's been fixed on my end so anxiety's been rearing its ugly head (。ŏ﹏ŏ)
aaahhh can't wait to get those books back (〒﹏〒)
Out of curiosity if the lists are extremely extensive will they all come back or is there a chance some will be left out because I’m positive I’ve read more than 30 between 2021 when I started marking things and where it’s at now in 2022 marked mangas. I’m just a little worried my entire list won’t come back
how soon your lists fully comes back depends on how far along we are in the “book” and how many timestamps we still need to read. Follow this post to get notified about updates: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21092806/
ALL MANGAS GOING INTO ALREADY READ
- the system cant aways figure out the original list type of the marked manga so when this happens it defaults to Already read for now
DELETED MANGAS SHOWING UP AGAIN
- the system is restoring our manga data from a historical log of everyone's activity (this is the "book" in the analogy i talked about in the FAQs). there can be multiple historical logs saved/backed up at different times, so the historical log that the system is currently looking at might not include the deletions made by some users yet and it restores them as if they were never deleted
MISSING NOTES/SUMMARIES
- in a database, theres this thing called a table to group stored data. and in a database there can be multiple tables. the notes/summaries, and other extras are most likely stored separately in a different table so sometimes they dont get pulled back correctly on the first time (the system should make multiple runs to make sure all data is loaded correctly thats why this whole manga data restoration takes a while)
ONLY RATED MANGAS SHOWING FOR SOME USERS
- some users only see rated mangas right now because the system is prioritizing entries with ratings first. your unrated ones should come back in later passes
MISSING NOTES/SUMMARIES
- in a database, theres this thing called a table to group stored data. and in a database there can be multiple tables. the notes/summaries, and other extras are most likely stored separately in a different table so sometimes they dont get pulled back correctly on the first pass (the system should make multiple runs to make sure all data is loaded correctly thats why this whole manga data restoration takes a while)

Heyyyy so im actually bery anxious cuz one of my account here which is my main account where i pretty much archived everything I've read and currently reading is restricted meaning i can't comment or join any topic, but i can still add on my reading lists and read list, so what im asking is will my restriction affect my list coming back? T_T I've been so anxious abt this since this happended, though I did get abt 11 of my reads back already I'm still wondering if it'll affect my lists coning back, I'm sorry if this question caused an inconvenience
oooh, okay. Thanks so much. You are honestly so helpful. Sorry if I asked a repeated question, and sorry for the people who have been rude to you despite all your efforts to help. I am pretty sure you have answered almost every question there is about it, plus repeating the same answer many times. Don't forget to take a break, you deserve it
The post addressed this question. There is no exact timeframe. We have to wait for the system to go through everyone’s data. For some people it’s possible they will have to wait until after everyone else has already gotten their data back. The system will go through a second time. There is no precise timeframe for this. So the answer is “it’s unknown”
i hope this can be pinned bec i am tired of seeing the, OH MY GOSH, MY LIST ARE GONE! I'VE BEEN KEEPING AND MARKING IT FOR blah blah blah WHEN WILL IT RETURN blah blah blah I DIDN'T GET ANY NOTIFICATIONS blah blah blah HOW CAN YOU ENSURE THAT IT WILL BE BACK blah blah blah..
anyway, thanks for your service!!! i hope you sleep in billion of dollars.
heyy @Suujin - nim i was hoping if you could answer my question on page 32 abt my other main account(which has all my archives) being restricted therefore I'm unable to join topics and comment, because if my previous stupid actions (commenting abt unrelated manga stuff) if it will affect my list coming back? Though i noticed that i already have like 11 of my reads, but i have a thousand, so im concerned whether my restriction will affect my list coming back. Im really sorry if I'm coming off as annoying T_T
Thank you so much for this! I’m curious about one thing if anyone may know but if I have re-added existing mangas to my reading lists and I have created chapter bookmarks for these stories after the fact, wondering if those bookmarks will disappear since the restoration hasn’t finished yet. My account is pretty new so I know I’ll be waiting for a while before I see all the mangas come back.
i understand that everyone lost their lists and that mago is working hard to restore them. we are being told that all the books are being restored in the order that they were added or by account oldest to newest. I started my account in 2020 and have been adding to my lists ever since. Only one book has been restored, to my “already read” list, this book was added in 2021, it’s not even the first book i have added, and no other books have been restored yet. it’s been days and I constantly check other people’s lists to see if books I’ve already read have been re-added to theirs yet, and they have, so is anyone else experiencing this?
Oh fuck! I thought it wouldn't overwrite so I had already started to re-add my old ones, the all time favs I remembered titles of D:
For those I'm afraid it's too late, I'll just rewrite the note and re-rate them but I guess I should do my best to avoid adding stuff that's already there :,3
Aaaaa
But we can do it!
Thank you for the info! Tho I do still have a question. From what I've understood, only the stories that have been rated are coming back rn. So for those of us who have never rated anything but have been adding to the want to read, am reading, and already read lists (for example like me from 2021) when can we expect to see our stuff coming back too? Will it be after the rated stories have been added back? Because so far I've had nothing come back, just the stuff i added myself
Ok, so what if you didn’t put stuff in your list though like I booked marked a bunch of books. I had I’m pretty sure over 1000 in my currently meeting like 400 and want to read in like 500 and already read
But my list like a actual list that I made that was back in like 2017 and I have an added to it since then I figured there was no need because I would just bookmark and already read and then I’d get my notifications
When the site reset I didn’t know that it might come back so I started adding stuff to my list and stuff like that books that I can remember, but I can’t remember all of them
Is there a chance I might get those back or am I only gonna get the ones that were in my LIST
Ive reread everything several times but im still a bit confused and worried. I didnt rate any of my books I only booked marked them in read, reading or want to read. Will i get my list back or will be just book marking them in the way I did determine that I wont be getting them back. Also thank you for everything you are dojng
Sorry for bothering, but only 1 manga has been restored under already Read. I'm still missing much more and all my other list as well are missing. I'm scared of not getting back all my list
I know that there fixing accounts that have been her for a long time but I joined in March 2022 and I've seen comments of people having most of there list restored even tho they joined in 2023, 2024. I don't know what to do, please help
Thank you for your hard work!!
I'm just patiently waiting for things to restore while reading my pending manga updates (by searching them manually for now)..
Now, I know you're busy but if you could put this part into the FAQ section up there, I think it could lessen the questions that you kept answering in repeat and people are just too lazy to read back (other comments pages).. Including the priority list which is:
Already Read > Reading > Want to Read
{that you have explained over and over but many people didn't see or too lazy to read back}.
Sorry for taking up your time to read, keep up the good work! :D
IMPORTANT: WHEN TO CONTACT SUPPORT
- PLEASE WAIT. Do not email the devs yet. The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. 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 diagnose 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
aight here it is
ALL MANGAS GOING INTO ALREADY READ
- the system cant aways figure out the original list type of the marked manga so when this happens it defaults to Already read for now
DELETED MANGAS SHOWING UP AGAIN
- the system is restoring our manga data from a historical log of everyone's activity (this is the "book" in the analogy i talked about in the FAQs). there can be multiple historical logs saved/backed up at different times, so the historical log that the system is currently looking at might not include the deletions made by some users yet and it restores them as if they were never deleted

ONLY RATED MANGAS SHOWING FOR SOME USERS
- some users only see rated mangas right now because the system is prioritizing entries with ratings first. your unrated ones should come back in later passes
UPDATED: HOW SOON WILL THEY COMEBACK / WHEN IS THE RESTORATION EXPECTED TO FINISH
- how soon your lists fully comes back depends on how far along we are in the “book” and how many timestamps we still need to read. If yours already started to appear again then thats a good sign. it means your account is already in the queue and the rest should continue to come back (gradually, not all at once)
If theres another run, expect anywhere from a few extra hours to about one extra day. A full second pass could push it to Feb 4–5, but a partial cleanup run would likely finish around Feb 2–3.
both of your concerns have aready been addressed in the FAQs
but if youre really worried and if your issues still persist even after 2 weeks, send a report to [email protected]

Hi. Been active on mangago since 2017. Like everyone else, everything vanished (over 3000 manga). Absolutely nothing has come back yet. Not even a single one.
For information :
- I didn't rate any manga
- I added comment on all manga (last read chapter)
- I checked the "only to myself" option on all manga
- I don't have any list except read / currently reading
- Last notification from currently reading manga is dated January 25
Without being aware of the situation, I've logged in on January 30, added 1 manga (which was previously in my currently reading list before the event), then noticed everything vanished from my account. After reading that it was best to not interfere with anything until everything was restored, I deleted the "new" entry from January 30.
I know we have to wait, but since it's not mentioned in the FAQ, I was wondering if the fact that every manga has been marked as private with the option "only to myself" could impact the restoration? Thank you very much for all the updates anyways!
no it shouldnt impact the restoration. The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. Give it at least 2 weeks from now.

the one you wrote is actually a very good one already. keep it until the time you need to send it to the devs :)
Before I found the FAQ, I saved some of the old stories again under "reading"; I hope that doesn't break anything.
Also currently, I can't save stories or change their save location. I get the message "The function is currently being repaired and is temporarily unavailable." Does this mean my list is being restored?
1. Since the system is desynced it's causing it to prioritize mangas that are rated. (please note that this is not true for everyone. Some are getting their unrated mangas back as well) simply put something is causing it to possible skip the unrated mangas
2. Yes you should get the rest back. The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. Give it at least 2 weeks from now.

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
i just looked through all the comments and i feel so bad for you
people really can't just take the time to look through the replies to see if someone else already asked the question or read through the actual pos, and instead just ask you the same question over and over holy you are a saint, i would've gotten so annoyed and frustrated.
seriously thank you for everything you're doing, and i sincerely hope people will learn to read the replies before asking another stupid question
(P.S. regarding the 'WILL I GET MY LIST BACK' section, i would be interested in knowing the technical side you couldn't add to the post :>)
Thank you. Youre giving me too much credit i did run out of patience a few times already ╥﹏╥
ALL MANGAS GOING INTO ALREADY READ
- the system cant aways figure out the original list type of the marked manga so when this happens it defaults to Already read for now
DELETED MANGAS SHOWING UP AGAIN
- the system is restoring our manga data from a historical log of everyone's activity (this is the "book" in the analogy i talked about in the FAQs). there can be multiple historical logs saved/backed up at different times, so the historical log that the system is currently looking at might not include the deletions made by some users yet and it restores them as if they were never deleted
MISSING NOTES/SUMMARIES
- in a database, theres this thing called a table to group stored data. and in a database there can be multiple tables. the notes/summaries, and other extras are most likely stored separately in a different table so sometimes they dont get pulled back correctly on the first time (the system should make multiple runs to make sure all data is loaded correctly thats why this whole manga data restoration takes a while)
ONLY RATED MANGAS SHOWING FOR SOME USERS
- some users only see rated mangas right now because the system is prioritizing entries with ratings first. your unrated ones should come back in later passes
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

Just a tip for people who are exporting! In the doc it states that its possible for cover page to not load due to "data:image", its possible to fix this by waiting for the cover page to load on your screen and scrolling down all the way before scrapping! there will be cover image if the link is " https//i(number).mangago...com". if problem persist you can change another scraper extention and scrape it batch by batch or one by one for the ones that missed ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

One day, I logged onto Mangago and discovered that the manga I usually read had been removed. I didn't receive any notification that an update had been made. My emotions went from anger to devastation, irritation, and pure rage. Of course, I managed to cope and started adding them myself.
However, for the past two or three days, I haven't been able to add them to my reading, to my to-read, or to my intended reading. I get the message I mentioned earlier, but no one has responded.
If there's a moderator or someone who can unblock this, please do so. I can manage adding manga myself; it's not that difficult.
Since we're here, my albums—well, sometimes the problem is that their content either disappears or is deleted. I'd appreciate it if you don't do that.
hello! thank you very much for updating. i just wanted to ask regarding the only rated stories are coming back for some users, and im one of those (/TДT)/
the thing is all of my stories don't have any rating except for a few (around 30 which is already back), just wanna ask if at somepoint will it be back or nothing can be done abt this ┗( T﹏T )┛i estimate 1000+ between my read, reading, and want to read that aren't rated
nvm i got the answer, i couldnt check the other comments earlier so i asked. thanks again suujin ლ(´ڡ`ლ) for anyone who has the same question as me, here's the answer:
ONLY RATED MANGAS SHOWING FOR SOME USERS
- some users only see rated mangas right now because the system is prioritizing entries with ratings first. your unrated ones should come back in later passes
Over 800 titles were added to my 'want to read' list, but from what I saw, those are the ones I've 'already read' (I don't know if it's all of them because I haven't checked everything). My 'read' list had over 1600 titles because I've been reading here since 2017.
My 'want to read' list was also very long; my reading tastes have changed a lot over the years. I hope to be able to recover the titles I marked to read later.
But that's okay, I appreciate the site's effort in bringing back our lists, and I appreciate the site staying with us.
So anyone pls tell... i remember having 700+on already read but i see 600+ and i feel some manhwas in btwn are not added and also lot of dates are changed in want to read/ already read it is showing marked 2026 but i am 100% sure i marked it in 2025....so guess there is data loss/corruption althoughit shouldn'tbe?? ....also we are unable add or rate any series as of now am i correct??╥﹏╥
ALL MANGAS GOING INTO ALREADY READ
- the system cant always figure out the original list type of the marked manga so when this happens it defaults to Already read for now
DELETED MANGAS SHOWING UP AGAIN
- the system is restoring our manga data from a historical log of everyone's activity (this is the "book" in the analogy i talked about in the FAQs). there can be multiple historical logs saved/backed up at different times, so the historical log that the system is currently looking at might not include the deletions made by some users yet and it restores them as if they were never deleted

ONLY RATED MANGAS SHOWING FOR SOME USERS
- some users only see rated mangas right now because the system is prioritizing entries with ratings first. your unrated ones should come back in later passes (this is a VERY simplified answer. read the info below for the explanation)
Here's additional info. I didnt go into detail in the FAQs bc I know it will be too confusing: As I mentioned in the FAQs. the restoration is based on timestamps and not just the list type. All mangas are being restored chronologically from the oldest timestamp to the newest, regardless of whether they were originally marked as Want to Read, Reading, or Already Read.
Sometimes a manga's internal metadata (the hidden info the system uses to track which list it belongs to, ratings, tags, summaries,or even internal info the system uses, etc) is incomplete or conflicts with the other data. The system cant process those entries correctly on the first pass so it skips them temporarily. thats why some of your mangas arent appearing even though the first run is finished.
- first pass = restores all mangas into Already Read (including those originally in Want to Read or Reading), skipping any with metadata conflicts
- second pass = moves the proper Want to Read mangas out of Already Read, and continues restoring the rest of the skipped mangas
- third pass = moves Reading mangas into correct list and keeps filling in anything still missing
- subsequent passes = fix misplaced entries, restore summaries/comments, and apply bug fixes
you should expect the rest of your Already read mangas to appear gradually in these subsequent runs, along with any originally Want to Read or Reading mangas being moved to their correct lists. Some users will see entries appear in bursts, while others might see nothing for a bit. but that doesnt mean nothing's happeninng for their account. the system is filtering and correcting errors in the background
I have my account since 2016. Lost all in ‘Reading’ (1000 +) and in ‘Want to read’ (100+), and lost 2000+ titles in ‘Already read’. I only got a like 5 or 6 titles back in WTR and R, and maybe a 100 in AR. I don’t usually rate or write notes for mangas I’m reading. I only rated a few of them, and have only one custom list with faves. Started filling out these 3 basic lists in 2016. Pretty simple and straightforward. Does this seem normal, since they started the restoration with older accounts, and I only got so little back? Or do I just sit and wait?
Please keep up with updates here.
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21092806/
my lists are coming back but they’re coming back wrong like some in want to read or ones i previously had in already read, does anyone know if this will be fixed when everyone is successfully restored, if it’s not, i’m atleast grateful to have my lists back but i hope so since i had a lot of stuff in every category
╥﹏╥
We're on the second pass now. This is the rough order of things
- first pass = restores all mangas into Already Read (including those originally in Want to Read or Reading), skipping any with metadata conflicts
- second pass = moves the proper Want to Read mangas out of Already Read, and continues restoring the rest of the skipped mangas
- third pass = moves Reading mangas into correct list and keeps filling in anything still missing
- subsequent passes = fix misplaced entries, restore summaries/comments, and apply bug fixes
Before posting a Question:
1. Could you read the FAQ first before asking?
2. Could you wait for 2 weeks (approximately) before reporting?
3. If the FAQ above lacks info, could you read the comments section first if the same question have already been answered?
(check on Suujin's reply on pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 24, 27, 31, 33, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40)
If your question was not addressed on those pages, that's when you should post a question.

Thank you for reading this far..
Remember: The one who is fixing can't control the system on how it works (or which one to prioritize) so let's all just be patient ok? :)

SO as per the OG post, I've been checking my account daily. At first my list started come back one by one after a few days 8 manga's were in my "Read" list...regardless of weather or not that's where I had them. I know I had like 12 in my "Want" and nearly 300 in my "Reading" list and only the gods know how many where on my "Read" list. So I assumed the restore is still on-the-move. I also read that the lists were being restored "in order" which is odd because I know some of the first manga's added to my "Read" list are from well before 2020 yet nothing restored so far predates 2020. I rechecked this post and saw that it was safe to add, so I added some new manga's to my "Want" list and one to my "Reading" that's when it seems like my account stopped getting restored but I started to get update notifications. It appears like I haven't had any thing added to my account since I added to my "Want" and "Reading" on the 29th. I'm hoping I haven't messed anything up and I've left my account alone since. I will continue to log in everyday to check the progress on the site restore, gods know that I love this site and am just thrilled that the fabulous people behind this curtain are able to work their magic and restore what they can, thank you!
To be crystal clear, I'm not posting this to criticize, please I am so grateful to the site managers for all the work they have been putting in not just since this latest event but even daily, sorry I've never shown my appreciation until now. I'm just documenting my observations and sharing to the community in case others are experiencing the same so that we're not alone and can wait together. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
I readd some stuff from memory last night to my listes about 5 in want to read, 10 in my reading and 22 to my already read will that cause problem for the restoration. I did it cuz I saw somewhere that someone had Email the devs and ask "so no other manga will come back unless we rated th or tags? " and I believe it was the devs saying yes but I don't know cuz it was all cross out so you can't really tell and it was very confusing
Update: so two of my old "Want to Read" are back, but only two so far. They are most recent two, not the oldest two, which is different than how my Already Read recovered, which batched from oldest to newest. I'm wondering if I messed up the batch recovery on accident because I added some new titles to my Wat to Read while it was blank. I guess I will see if anything else recovers, it's now been several hours since the two titles got loaded in. Luckily I panic screen-recorded my Want to Read list less than 24 hours before the site went down so that's the only list that I have record of and I can always manually add those back in.
i know its long but please read this whole comment. theyre 2 separate explanations but they both explain the why things look broken right now. the second one just leans more into how the restoration process likely works behind the scenes.

what ill describe below is generally how database restoration works, esp after server transfer or major data recovery operations. im basing this on my experience and how these processes usually behave. so that said, the exact implementation mangago is using may differ (eg the number of passes, the order, or their interal logic, etc). its just a simplified explanation meant to help users understand why things look broken and why patience matter :)

hey no this is actually really helpful! please dont apologize for documenting this bc its exactly the kind of detailed info i need
i dont have access to mgo's actual backend (no not THAT kind of backend ), so im only essentially reverse-engineering the process based on my experience with how database systems usually behave during recovery. its these kinds of observations that help me breakdown HOW its actually happening
thank you!! please continue to send more updates when you can
also sorry for this long ass explanation. i sent this to another user asking for clarifcations on the process. theyre 2 separate expalantions i made but they should give an insight of how the restoration process goes:

Hi Suujin, yup, can do. Logged in again today and nothing has changed/updated on my account. No new manga's added back in any of my lists but I did get some notifications from people posting to this thread, only 3 to be exact which is odd because so many people have posted since I last logged in and checked this thread. I have been checking out the manga's I remember from my list before but have not been manually adding them back to my account.
Thank you again for all your hard work. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say thank you for everything and please make sure to take care of your self, we appreciate the speed but do not forget to look after your self ♡\( ̄▽ ̄)/♡

If you want more info, it was addressed on page 43.
Member from 2014. My experience were:
- Initially, only rated and tagged manga on were on my Already Read list which also included some Reading list that I remember (I'm not sure about the Want To Read list that got included in this list since I have too many and can't remember).
- All manga doesn't include any notes/summary and my Reading list and Want To Read list are basically empty except the only one I just put in Reading list since it's new and will just update along with the old list, I didn't add anymore..
My only regret is I have added 1 Want To Read to the list (that I remembered putting it before) and deleted it after reading this forum so I'm quite sure it will affect that manga later, which is only a minor thing for me, I can re-add it later if I want to, including the notes.
- I noticed that after few more days, my Want To Read list are coming back but I'm not sure if it's the full list since I don't track that list. I still have 1 reading (from the recent add) and upon checking today, some of the non-rated and non-tagged manga are also included.
Will wait for 2 weeks or more to see how it goes, but basically I can just:
- browse new mangas from Last Updates page (paste in notepad the title, links or comments if I wanted to include it on my list later or bookmark it)
- go to My List to look for manga to read
- read the manga I remembered have regular updates by searching it manually
- read the pending manga (on My Histories section) that I haven't read to the latest chapter update.
I still haven’t gotten my reading, already read, and want to read list back yet, I made this account around 2014 or 2015. I have gotten my lists back so far but nothing else has appeared. How do I know if something is wrong with my account is corrupted or if that’s the reason I haven’t gotten anything back?
Ummm heyy back here again, to recap my other acc which is my main account where i keep all my list archives is restricted therefore I can't comment or join topics, and @suujin nim already answered that this won't affect my list coming back, but we are already ongoing on the second pass idk if its finished, but apart from the 30 mangas that came back on my read list, and 13 from my want to read list, im seeing no further addition, and I'm starting to worry if mine will even come back again, i just need some assurance that it will, cuz I'm getting anxious and I'm using this acc because I can't comment on topics on my main.

There's mixed news on non-rated manga right now. So if you have mostly non-rated manga, this could explain why your lists are so low right now. There was news the devs weren't likely to restore non-rated manga. Despite this, some users have had their non-rated restored. So no one really knows what's going on with that right now.
I had 118 total between Now Reading and Already Read, and 107 were restored total into Already Read. If this means 11 were unrated and those were the ones that weren't restored, I think that probably makes sense. Because I usually rate titles before placing them into Now Reading or Already Read, but there have been a few times that I have forgotten to do so, which would have accounted for the missing 11 titles.
I have a question regarding my reading lists. Before I realized that the lists had temporarily "disappeared," I added some new manga and manhwa to my "I want to read" list and one manga to my "I'm reading" list.
While my "I already read" list has been fully restored, the other two lists currently only show the new items I recently added. My question is: will my previous entries in the "I want to read" and "Reading" lists eventually be restored as well, even though I have already saved new titles to them?
Hi, sorry for bothering everyone, there's just too much information in this post and I'm trying to read all of it asap :,D I've been seeing that some people are slowly recovering oralready have the "already read" list, it hasn't happened for me yet. None of my lists are fixed, and while I have no problem waiting I just wanted to know if it was a weird case or a bug for not having the "already read" list.
Again, sorry for bothering, and thanks to everyone who's working on fixing the issue. <3 Please be free to respond only when you have time and have rested enough.
None of mine have been fixed either lol
Only had like 3 things added since the reset but the lists are still being worked on. As people have been saying give it 2 more weeks but keep a log with date+time (make sure to include your timezone) if you add/change things in your lists or your website keeps glitching,logging out or acting weird. :)
Wait for at least 2 weeks and the system will try to sort itself out, but if there are still problems after the announcement that they have restored everything already.. try to list your error or if there's still something wrong (based on your observation) then record it with date and time from your timezone and send it to webmaster (check the main post of this forum above for more instructions)
Please read the updates. No ones sure about non-rated right now. There's lots of news about people not being sure if non-rated manga are coming back because Someone emailed the devs and they said they weren't likely to restore non-rated manga. Despite this, however, some users have had non-rated returned. So we quite literally just have to wait and see.
What I actually mean is, will the lists "I'm reading" and "Want to read" come back even if I didn't mark them? Because someone said theirs didn't come back, only the ones that were marked or rated came back. In the post, it only mentions the "Already read" list, nothing about the other ones or marking or rating. So I was just worried and curious (And I'm thankful she wrote this post, but I was just curious about things that weren't mentioned.)
In the comments the other lists were mentioned. You just have to read. That being said, new possible update here;
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21155166/
Guys, is it only me that hasn't gotten back even one manga in their list? There's only two that I added accidentally few days ago om my "reading". I see people getting back theirs and I'm envious as well as worried I've been here since 2020 and read consistently almost everyday but I've also never rated anything. I really hope the unrated ones come back because I WILL start throwing up
I already went to all the known stages of grief and dc anymore. I went through my bookmarks (thank god i bookmarks all the stuff i read), and edited them in their correct place. Now i am preparing myself to go on a "want to read" crusade, actually kind of excited for it.
Best of wishes to all of you still waiting! And thank you op for all the updates!
Posting as a reference for others who might be in the same boat since I’ve been looking for similar comments in my same year/list sizes…
I’m a 2017er w/over 2000 titles between my want-to-read/reading/already read lists. I currently have 6 titles back on my already read lists & got those 6 on day 2 of the fixing process. They were the only 6 I apparently ever rated & all of mine have had the box checked for me-only view.
(Yes I have read the FAQ, comments, & other posts & know rated ones have been coming back first. Again: only posting this as a reference for comrades who are also from 2017 & worrying they’re the only ones with no-minimal movement.)
We are all in the waiting game.
We have to wait for 2 weeks or more to see how it goes, but basically you can just:
- browse new mangas from Last Updates page (paste in notepad the title, links or comments if I wanted to include it on my list later or bookmark it)
- go to My List to look for manga to read
- read the manga I remembered have regular updates by searching it manually
- read the pending manga (on My Histories section) that I haven't read to the latest chapter update.
You don't have to stop reading manga, just be creative in creating temporary list for the meantime.
No but try not to add anything for now..

I saw someone saying that if you did not mark the things you read it won't be added up again (they spoke with a dev and the dev confirmed it). Does someone know if this is true or? Because in total I have around a tenth (more but I don't want to calculate it) returned from all of my lists combined because I do not mark most of the stuff I read with tags and such.... And I seriously don't think I will be able to return to my old list (1500+ want to read, 80 reading, 650+ already read. Only 300ish are returned).
I’m in the same boat only nothing has come back to my lists so far…going over my bookmarks to start my own export of already read/reading titles while waiting for my other lists to fatten up.
Really grateful to see I’m not the only one in this boat who isn’t seeing much happening lists side being a 2017er.
If this is true, that’s really shitty. The other night I realized that everything rated was put into my already read, and only the rated returned, thanks to another discussion where someone else pointed it out first. If this is the case and it really doesn’t get fixed, there are tons of manga I had in my want to read that are unknown and I’ll never be able to find them again (unless I decide to go through years worth of site history, but because each chapter of a manga counts as its own history, it’ll take hours of observation and finding manga pages I looked at). In the future, I’ll be marking *everything* as at least 1 star when adding them to my want to read and currently reading so this doesn’t happen again.
Hey, I’ve also had ~2000 total manga in my read/already read/want to read, and I emailed them yesterday regarding the issue of certain mangas not appearing. Unfortunately I think it’s very unlikely that you will get your manga back if you didn’t rate them, since the developers said the data disk was physically damaged☹ I also had a majority of my manga unrated (it stopped adding back mangas at at 176), so I had to manually re add most of them
Naurrrr… but also c’est la vie. I think we all knew this day would come esp after the 2021 blackout so it’s my own fault for not tracking elsewhere but man I wrote NOVELS of descriptions on each manga/manhwa/manhua that I never wanted to figure out how to export. My ADHD ahh can’t remember anything w/o ‘em & I’ve read so much mediocre garbage I don’t want to relive any of it to write new descriptions lol. I’ve been joking for a while that I spend way too much time reading on this site anyway so maybe this is my sign that it’s time to find a new hobby ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
in the FAQ it says “ 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 it’s fully restored.”
so no, it should be okay. i’ve been doing the same thing because it said it’s okay in the faq so if it fucks smth up i will cry
i emailed the devs and got the same response others got. unrated mangas can't be restored. here is a screenshot of our email exchange: https://www.mangago.me/home/album/637201/
sensitive data was erased to preserve my identity
I think ppl should have a bit more patience and stop sending messages to these ppl who are working to restrore everything. I got my read and want to read back and we talking about thousands of mangas not rated too. I have a problem with the reviews, and my reading list that it's empty, but I know they are working to give the newest accounts their want to read first, and when they finish these, they'll probably go with the reading lists and I'm gonna see it again when they reach 2014(my account creation year).
The problem let's call it like that is that older accounts mostly got everything back before the new problem with not rated mangas occured because restoring was going according the time of creation of accounts. Mine is from 2021, I only got 204 rated titles back 5 days ago and that's it. Also, mods obviously answered that unrated titles won't be restored back. As for the patience, we absolutely should let developers do their thing without wailing every second of every day, but if there's no way to fix this part of the problem, someone should just let people know. Preferably somewhere on the main page because people can't read or bother to research anything for the love of God.
I might have a stupid question, but I'm coming to terms with the fact that i might never get my lists back because i never rated anything and I'm grasping at straws at this point. so my question is, is it possible to potentially get my entire history data? The history data only goes back to a number of days when you click on it but is there a chance that the rest of the days still exist somewhere? if i could somehow get my entire history data from the day i created my account in 2017 i could slowly and manually add everything back to my reading and already read lists at least. Have i lost my mind in desperation or is this something that can be done? I have autism and OCD and i have been having panicattacks since the lists disappeared, i sadly dont cope well with sudden changes that are out of my control and I'm just trying to find a way to calm myself down and find some sort of solution. I genuinely appreciate any help that i can get
From the top of my head, there are 2 places I would search:
1. Your browser history
2. If your browser is connected to your google account, then you can search activity on your google account, it doesn't get cleared when you clear your browser history.
https://myactivity.google.com/
Umm so... I got just like 82 or 84 titles back in my want to read list (there were like 800 TT) and I've been a user since like March 2021 too. I am not in a hurry since I won't be able to read for the next two weeks anyway (exams AAJBDIFID) but I have like 0 rated manhwas TT. So if youre saying non rated items won't be back that just caused my heart to drop oml because that just means its gone forever right. My memory is so shit I dont even realise until midway that I've read a certain manhwa how could I rebuild my list?!? Whatever the situation is, I just HOPE it gets fixed and I get ALL my data back no matter how long it takes man because honestly? Im ready to wait
Thank you for your help!
Sadly all my links in my browser history i had before 2024 just gave me an error message but everything after that works fine, i started to work off of it and managed to manually add back 300 mangas already but i still got a lot more to go.
once again thank you so much for the help i actually managed to calm down for the first time since this problem started
Hello! Sorry to bother, I know it's hectic when thousands of people ask the same thing everyday...I just wanted to know, that a user who messaged the mods/devs informed us that only the tagged/rated content will come back for the readers. What you have conveyed to us, is this from the dev's of the website as well?
I’m going to also recommend you transfer/copy over your lists to a tracker site like AniList, MyAnimeList just in light of his ever happening again all your reading list will be on another site. I do this with everything, especially since after potato went down. I’m pretty sure Suujin put up a tutorial link on how to do it.
I’m AuDHD myself and tbh I’m also panicking about it but not as much since rereading what I loved before will be kinda fun. If I don’t remember now I will enjoy it later
Hi, I'm replying because I want to cross reference my observations of my lists with your observations.
So what the devs said was that any manga that are rated or tagged will come back. I checked your "want to read" and most of your stuff from what I can see are tagged? (sorry for creeping.) Same with me, my "want to read" is all stuff I tagged, but I already read, so they're in the wrong list. My "already read" list isn't everything yet, but they are all unrated and untagged.
So I'm not sure why the devs are saying they lost everything that is untagged or unrated manga unless they lost that data after restoring some of this stuff. Idk I'm not that too tech savvy to understand how website data works.
Also, I don't know if they're restoring to newer users or older users first. Either way though, I DEF AGREE with you that we should just be patient and wait. I'm going to keep waiting myself.
Even if the links themselves are dead, often you can get the manga name from the link itself. Some sites unfortunately use only numbers in links, but for example, mangago links look something like: mangago.me/read-manga/the_name_of_the_manga, so you can still search "the name of the manga" in google or somewhere else.
Also, as Shay said, backup your lists on a fully legal site. I often use MangaUpdates anyway, so I decided to backup my lists there.
I'm glad I could help ^^
Oh. So basically I’m not getting back probably 99% of my list then because I’m not the type to rate or tag any of my stuff most of the time. That actually sucks so much :/
I read on my phone so going through history browser is not viable with every chapter being it’s own link. The latest date I can go to is the start of Jan this year which is useless. Well goodbye to 6 years worth of history ig. Looks like I’ll probably be re-reading a bunch of stuff as well which I hate doing
I do not care about my list as much as my private comment/notes I had on the books I was reading. It might have already been covered, but there are just too many post to go through. Has anything official come out about the comment/notes section being restored. Because that is all I really care about (though I recognize that they will likely have to restore the list first before the comments can come back, as you can't leave a comment without adding the book to a list first.
Oh my gah, thank you for sharing this! I took a break and came back to this ToT, the situation is at least clarified for me after a small panic so thank you very much!
But can I please ask more about the mangas being shifted around? My Reading List has been completely wiped and when I checked again after I understood your explanation, I now realize that some of the works that I still tagged as reading was moved to 'Read', even though I had them as 'Reading' since around 2020.
Thank you for your time! TT
Hey, so I haven’t really seen anyone with my situation right now and I had questions. Unlike a lot of people, I’ve only ever put my mangas in the « reading » category. I don’t switch them at all and so for the moment, I only have 8 mangas back and I don’t why they are back in particular. If anyone has any news I would really like some because I’m really scared I’ll loose everything :(
I’m going to give everyone a tip. I created a list and then went to my notifications and took all the manga I could get from there and put it in that list so when this is over hopefully I don’t have to use it. But if I do at least I have my most recent notification manga. I have over 100 titles in that collection ;-;
All I can say is that any manga I don’t recover, I’ll just find it again and enjoy it. Let us enjoy peak again and not sweat over it. I am putting on a brave face but there’s nothing we can do. Shit happens
One thing that has been bothering me is that I have this account since 2020 but have been using the website before that, and at the time I put many mangas on my want to read/reading/already read lists. And according to the post they were already in February 2022 timestamps. Is it normal that I haven’t gotten any of those reads back? I know that like maybe 15 mangas were added by the system, the rest that is in my account I’ve been the one to add it since I want to continue reading and keep track of some things that I wanted to read or read or am reading. Could you help me understand if it’s something that I did or if this is normal please? Thank you!
Just read throu comment of this convo a bit more. Those 8 that came back are the ones you rated, nothing else apparently won't come back, but let's wait and see. I got just 204 out of everything I had marked, and those 204 are rated ones, plus they are all in 'already read' list despite some being from 'noe reading' category. That's just how they returned
My already read only come back about 1000+ while I'm pretty sure I had a whopping 2000 more and my reading list inst back yet at all, and still had mixed up with the i want to read. And I think its already been 3 days yet my list isnt going anywhere. The number are still stagnant while the other days its increased slowly. Amd the update now only for the manga in the list. Now I'm getting anxious T_T is it gonna coming back completely or not T_T
Thanks for the info!! Didnt get any notifs for new manga updates lately, thought it was strange, and noticed just today my list was almost entirely gone. I currently only have like a dozens bookmarked (5 i just added back once i noticed they were gone) while I originally had easily over one hundred. Hope it all get resolved without any issues!! :'))
I got one bookmarked story back from 2023; otherwise, I only see the stories I marked after deleting them. 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.
So im getting a lot of mixed messages so if I could have one solid and clear answer to my only big question here that would be great. So to be clear, are rated/ tagged books the only ones that will be restored. All of my books that I ONLY marked into the folders like want to read, read, and reading are lost forever.
Some ppl are saying that the devs don't want to admit that the untagged and unrated books will unfortunately not be restores bcs something is beyond repair in the system.
I obviously don't want to listen to baseless rumors and would like a clear answer just so I can prepare not to receive anything back. I don't want to get my hopes up entirely and be tragically let down while everyone has most of their list recovered.
Thank you for real for everything you've been doing. It's February 7 and my list was coming back slowly but stopped after I added something to one of my list. Since it hasn't budged and that's been worrying me :( I'm also missing like 10-20 from my already read so I don't know if it's about time I report my stuff isn't fully back since you said the first backup sweep was done and most people should have their stuff back. i started adding to my list 2021.
Wait I'm confused, aren't only tagged and rated mangas being added? Here's the post
https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21155166/
Hey there I know youre prob overwhelmed with this right now, I just wanted to ask a more specific question about whether having marked a lot of manga as private when adding it to my reading lists would effect the ability to update them again ( I have a couple in my lists now, just a few but I know you guys are working hard and I can absolutely wait two weeks, small wait considering the amount of work devs have to do lol)
Some people did and the answer they've gotten is that inly rated stuff will be back because drive containing info about our unrated things is destroyed or something. I started manually adding back everything I have wrote down. It's not near the everything I had and it'll take days vut it's better than nothing tbh
From my experience not everything in those two lists are lost, for me they are in my Already Read list. But that list is a literal mess, some of the ones that where tagged and rated are not tagged or rated and I went back and redid it. Also I moved the manga not read to my other two lists.
I am still looking for titles for my Already Read that are not added there, so not all information is back, and I started on this website 10 years ago; by this time I don't think I will get everything back.
For what it's worth, I'd like to share something. I just got a notification of an update!! ヾ(☆▽☆) And I think this is good because that one manga wasn't in my "I'm reading" list!! I had added around 6 mangas to the list in the last couple of days, but not this particular manga. So, I think this is good because the information about the mangas I was reading is still there, somewhere? Maybe even if we don't get the full list back, at least we will still get updates on the mangas we were reading? Maybe, maybe?! ヾ(☆▽☆)
Developers said only titles that are coming back are rated ones and that's it... And this person who used to update us at the beginning disappeared so not much info from them anymore (not attacking them, just saying they probably won't respond)
Site still has problems like random logging out etc, I'm sure devs are still working hard on those matters, but as for manga, I started adding back 2 days ago from my saved lists and for now everything works, I'm getting regular notifications
I dont really care about my want to read and already read. Im only worried about my “reading” list and now I found out theyre not putting back the titles that are not rated? I literally dont rate my titles AT ALL and if im not mistaken i had less than 600 titles saved in my reading list… im crine i cannot remember all
I'm actually getting so sad about this list problem. I had over 2000+ saved across my want to read, reading and already read since 2016 but since I don't rate anything, they're all gone. I'm hoping they manage to restore it but since people are saying the devs are only going to be able to restore rated things, its looking like a lost cause. Is there no chance at all that the unrated stuff will come back?
When do you think is a good time to start making changes to our lists / will the devs make an announcement? My lists haven't seen any changes for over a week so I'm guessing they've done all they can.
Just for more info, I don't rate anything but I tag everything I finish reading so probably all of my already read titles are back (though in the wrong list).
I started adding mine few days ago, everything works fine for now, I just rate and tag everything I added even tho I didn't have a habit of doing that before. Got back arod ¼ of things I had because it's kinda time consuming but will continue adding. As for developers and the person who started this convo here, none of them posted anything since the first info from mails got out about not being able to bring everything back. I'm sure they've done everything in their power and are probably still fixing other bugs like random log outs etc. So it's probably safe for you to start adding back
Soooooo are list not coming back now?? Not only will I have to go in and manually add back all my old titles but anything new I didn’t write down before the wipe won’t even be restored so I have no way of remembering what I had in my want to read/reading if it wasn’t bookmarked. This site sucks I hate it here, there goes years of reading flushed down the down (︶︿︶)=凸
I sent an email to the site and they told me they did what could be done. In short your lists will return only if you've marked the list items with a tag or with stars.
In my case I had only saved the stories in "already read", "reading" and "want to read" with nothing more, so I'll get nothing back. (Crying already)

If you want to wait and see if MGO will restore your list, it's fine, but if you want to start rebuilding your lists, here are few starting points you can use.
1. Use your previous (old) notifications to add to your reading lists. (This has been tested and works to start receiving notices again.)
2. If you have any bookmarks -- re-add them to your lists.
3. Use any previous comments you've left on stories here to help build-up your lists. Go through them and start adding.
4. If you have a favorite author, ie, Yugi Yamada, find a story written by them and start adding the comics listed under their name.
5. Lastly, if you follow someone, look through their lists and start adding to your lists from there.
Hope this helps!!
i’m actually so sad because i never rated any of my mangas except 2 of them… i was always too lazy.. and i believed the lists would come back and people advised not to add anything so i didnt! but now suddenly i check back in after a few days and not only are my lists still not back but my notifications are also deleted/ wiped. is anyone else experiencing this issue?
At this point, honestly, I think you'll be wasting your time emailing. Others have tried before and have received an auto-response stating all recovery efforts have been exhausted and only tagged or rated comics were recoverable. Then more recently, other readers have tried emailing the site owners and have been met with silence.
Even the original creators of these process update threads haven't updated with any new information about the recovery efforts. So instead of being stuck in limbo, I decided to rebuild my lists.
But you can do what you think will be best for you.
Here is my list hope it might help someone since I saved manga via recording so I just finished sorting it
https://www.mangago.me/home/people/555424/manga/3/
Question:
So to summarize this, abandon all hope and start rebuilding and reclassifying?
(I think it's too late for me since mine is 2023, I've got around 200+ all in all tagged by the big (almost lost) three, and I rarely use user specific tag)
Comments :
(no offense, but I really need to let it out rather than bottling it)
Yep I may still be knew and has not much stuff unlike some records that go 8k+, but I hope that when the site is all fixed up properly and is fully operational, they would start addressing the key issues like:
Maintenance:
I think we all fully know why, backup for the most important list classification going down the drain and stuff (perhaps making a backup of the backup is possible, and also yearly maintenance before concluding the year)
Prioritization:
(this is more like a subtopic on maintenance since it's about the big three, while technically not all lost its about them specifically)
since the most important list got struck, I hope they have some plans in preventing this issue from happening again
(double checking everything especially the backups and if everything is in order before doing some very serious fixing, really want the time turning back for this)
:But hey why you so lazy to do some tagging? Why just go for want to read, reading, and already read?
(Ok, discipline is a difficult problem to address, I may be disorganized but I try to be a better person, and I'm not the only one crying over the records gone right? Oh pathetic excuse, well we're all built different so if I want to complain rather than start moving, that's just what I am, so mind your own business before I start finding for your complaints as well and start highlighting them)
Announcements:
Yeah, it's hard to keep track on what was going on, and I get that many of the important stuff is down, but I hope there is a much quicker way to see the most important immediately in the homepage
(if there was, idk the shortcut y'all and I rarely use most of the interface so help me)
the questions and feed are just overlapping on the important stuff, so they got swept away, and I need to see that oh there will be maintenance or oh site will be down soon, so we can at least prepare rather than a heart attack.
(And rather than searching for it in Google and you find the thread to be dead and you start searching again)
Exports:
I think it is obvious that the extension is a temporary measure at the moment, and it was suggested by a user to add one for this site
(and I can feel his inner wrath in that comment)
I'm just waiting for that flicker of hope again so yeah I'm a living contradiction
PS:
I heard there were certain legalities going on, and whatever the case, I hope the devs can address this soon (I feel like the best results we can all get for this site will be on May since devs are human not robots). Nevertheless, I wanted to thank them for their time and dedication they put in fixing everything up. While it may be a little bit too late for a lot of things, I hope they still keep fighting despite everything.
Yes i got mine back cuz I recorded mine sadly I had to add them all back if u want to see my list it could help you restore some
https://www.mangago.me/home/people/555424/manga/3/
… thank you for painting this; just wanted to know if people are still getting any further recovery in their lists or has it been 100000% clarified that only tagged things will return? my tagged returned though unfortunately i wasn’t the type to tag unless the mange was completely finished (all delicious sides and all served and ended for good) or 5* and i had over 4000~5000 in my lists
Here's my list I got mine back feel free to look hope it helps https://www.mangago.me/home/people/555424/manga/3/
Guyyyssss I did just notice THIS MORNING that ALL my lists AND PERSONAL REVIEWS UNDER MANGAS were deleted. Im so depressed...SO IF I DID UNDERSTANDALL THE LISTS "I WANT TO READ" AND "NOW READING" Have been removed right?....And some of you says that it’s going to come back?!? It’s still not the case for me ヽ(`Д´)ノ ┗( °T__T° )┛Im crying so hard right now...all these years vanished in one night, bruhhh, it’s so frustrating..
I feel u guys, I lost over 2000 positions they still haven't come back and I have a little faith they will at this point. I also noticed that most of my previous "reading now" went to "already read" and most of "already read" and all of "want to read" disappeared. It's really sad because we collected it for years, but also I'm glad the site still exist idk what I would do without it
Fr, I kept looking but most are saying the read, reading, and want to read aren't coming back
I would so pay as well but I'm going to start manually getting my list back and saving on something else so if it ever crashes again like this I will have my list still.
As many people are saying just the list people have made will come back, but for me that is bearly any of what I had.
I have got all my manga back so feel free to look at mine. I have a lot so you should be able to get some of yours back
https://www.mangago.me/home/people/555424/home/
I use website called Mangaupdates so every Manga that I have on here weather it in my (want to list,reading list, or completed) i look the Manga up on this website and put it in the correct spot so that's why know which books to look back up even when i couldn't remember them because I did not have them tagged on this website they are definitely tagged now.
Took me two days to add them beck.
If you have any other questions let me know

Is private comment information recoverable? I know a lot of people are talking about their lists, but I was wondering if private comments will be recovered as well. I know a lot of people are discussing their lists, but my biggest concern is all the notes I’ve been keeping for various manga. I can eventually rebuild a list of mangas that haven’t returned, but I can’t recover all the details, like when I started a series, which chapter I left off on, or my detailed thoughts on specific chapters. Many stories had paragraphs of notes, sometimes including key information I relied on whenever I returned to them. I’m really hoping that at least my private comments will return, but I have a feeling that they’re gone for good, which is more devastating than them not returning to my I’ve read, I’m reading, or I have already read lists.
Hi sorry if this has been asked already but my account is from 2020, I didn’t tag or rank most of my reads I only put them in the read/reading/wtr. Is there any chance I will be getting those back. So far I only have the ones that I ranked or tagged and its not a lot because I only ranked my favorites
from what i know most likely not. you might but it's gonna take a decent amount of time. expect it to take a couple months at the very least. like it's been about 3 weeks now since my stuff stopped being added. i only got 20 of the roughly 1.2k things that i had in all of my lists. and i put in a lot of private comments so i'll most likely not be getting anything back either for a long time. the best thing you can do is go through your search history and just add everything back
I got mine back feel free to look i hope it helps
https://www.mangago.me/home/people/555424/home/
Personally for me, I'm pretty sure everything that I've read and put into want to/reading/already read is back but is just compiled into the already read section. I joined like 2020/2021 so it might be different if you joined way earlier
I say pretty sure because I'm not fully sure of the exact amount that I've actually read and I've yet to fully scroll through and check but it seems correct.
Ughhhh I hate that. Plus it’s going to be so inconvenient compared to writing them underneath, but I guess we have no choice. Most likely will keep duplicates. One on here and another saved somewhere else. I hate that we lost those notes, I too lost so many and so much important information and thoughts
Hi, I’ve been a silent reader for almost six years now, and I saw the post about this issue about a month ago. However, I still haven’t seen any movement regarding my list of stories.
Is there a possible time frame for when this will be fully fixed? I’ve already started re-adding and even added new manga's—could that have affected the process, or could it be the reason my list still hasn’t been restored?
I also wanted to ask whether my data is still recoverable, as I rarely left ratings or tags on the stories I read. I’m wondering if that could affect the restoration process.
Thank you very much for your time and response. I truly appreciate it.
yeahh i'm doing the same. i'm writing them here and then also copy and pasting them into apple notes. it really sucks seeing all my manga having empty boxes now :( like on top of that i have the worst memory so i have no clue what i thought about the manga whereas before i could always read what i wrote before
So I posted here quite a while ago. I had only 8 titles return roughly 3 weeks ago and haven't seen anything been added to my lists since. Today I just started manually adding back out of frustration. I will admit to having started to add "wants" about 3 weeks ago but that's it,I made no other changes and I feel like maybe that messed up my accounts ability to get anything more back. The gods only know how long I've had an account on here or if we'll be getting more of our lists back in the future, every bit of info I have seen has been second/third-hand. I feel like since its been well over a month and of the 8 titles I got back some were tagged, some where commented on, some had neither, so I really do not feel like that made any difference. It really seems to have been luck of the draw.
So I'm rebuilding. For the most part when I click on a manga I can see the shaded parts I have read in the past so as long as I click on a manga I think I have read before I can confirm that I have and add it to the appropriate list. And for the ones I'm not sure of I simply read the summary and add to be "want" list and I get to have the pleasure of re-reading it. The sad part is the manga's that only update once a year or so, gods know it will take forever to find these titles and I'm well aware that at this point there are going to be titles "lost". But its been over a month since the "Great Calamity" and I'm an account that has been historically skulking the the shadows so I expect very little. So I'm moving on/moving forward with gratitude that this site is still up and running.Cheers all, thanks for reading my two-cents.
Are the notes/comments just lost forever? Or will they eventually come back? I'm really upset about that being lost! A lot of series I had marked in the comments section my status...like what chapter I'm on or little notes about my thoughts on the series while reading. I'm really pissed that all that work is down the drain if it's not recovered. I have titles that were in my 'currently reading' that are now put into my 'want to read', but the comments/notes are gone!
I did do tags for the majority of the series I added, but not everything is showing up b/c I know I've added way more than the number of titles that are showing up in my tags. Hopefully eventually they're be recovered? But yeah, I'm depressed about this! Hopefully everything gets recovered eventually.
Your whole comment is exactly me! This was my concern too! I saw your back and forth with 'ariailisha' and I am sick to my stomach and crying at the thought of all my notes/comments gone! I keep track of what chapters I'm on and write mini reviews and status updates as I'm reading. And sometimes I love to go back to see what my thoughts were when I read 'said' series. I care more about my comments/notes than the actual series coming back, even if I get them back all mixed up and everything I want them back!
Thankfully I did add some to anilist, so at least everything isn't all completely lost, but I never kept up with it, b/c it was just easier doing it on here, but I guess going forward I'm gonna have to go back to adding them to anilist as a backup or save them elsewhere. But I am so pissed about this! 11 year old account, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of comments/notes gone! (╥﹏╥)
Ok so none of my "Reading" manga/manhwa has returned and my bookmarks are gine as well. Only things are back are "Already read" and "Want to read". It's been months so by this point I'm just gonna start putting them back.
My only saving grace is that I put EVERYTHING on my private playlists the moment I enounter them. For example, anything I put in "Want to read, reading, already read" lists I also immediatly put in a playlist I made (mostly generic ones like webtoon, webtoon 2 etc). So i just mostly have to go through each list and put each manga/manhwa into READING list. It won't take me long but after this thing, I'm making a seperate spreadsheet of all of the manga/manhwa I read...
i was lucky enough that i made a list to organize my reading and already read to their specific genre, story type, and so on. but i need to guess what chapter i left now that the bookmark and the notes i put was also gone. i feel like a chick lost in the forest. it's been months but not even half of my reading list was recovered even though i was sure i always rate them
Its been a long time now, I’ve barely rated my reads and have already come to terms that I’ve lost it all. However I wanted to ask if at any point in time my lists will be fixed. Because it is a mess…
My ‘reading’ is now in the ‘already read’ or ‘want to read’ section etc etc, basically the recoverd ones are all jumbled up in the wrong catagory!
Should I still wait for it to be fixed? Or will it not be?
Is it okay to touch the lists again and for me to rebuild it again?
Or should I stay still and wait a bit longer just in case or if me adding stories back to my lists make it harder for the devs to continue doing their stuff or whatever inconveniences it may cause?
Considering the fact that only thing we've heard from actual mods is that only rated stuff will com back and everything else is just random users posting all of these stuf for God know what reason I assume it's safe to touch the lists. If it wasn't or there's some work we make harder for mods they would probably lock the option of adding anything.
Sldo I added stuff on my list without realising they got deleted. Only found out after missing notification. And still, all of my rated stuff came bac, but in 'already read' section so I just moved everything to its place manually. Since than, few days passed, some people messaged mods, they said data is lost, only rated will come back. So literally month ago, I started adding my stuff back, added like third of it because it's a bit tiring and nothing was lost again, everything works just fine. But while adding stuff back, I tagged and rated everything in case similar thing happens.
Also this post itself was made by person pretending they know what's going on and once things got messed up, they just ghosted everything and everyone. Same with like 5 more users who did the same. So everything they wrote should be taken with a grain of salt.
Wait so I've been waiting like I don't know since the beginning this happened. So like there's no hope anymore that I will get all the ones in my read, wish to read, and finished reading lists? Like unless I gave some stars to the manga/manhwa it won't come back anymore?? Just like that?? I have at least 3000-4000 under all three of those and not all of them are bookmarked, especially the ones in my wish to read lists and the earlier reads on my finished and reading lists. Now I have to look for those that who knows what title are they anymore like the reason I haven't touched them is like they're literally at the bottom of my lists. All of that, poof, gone just like that??? Is that what's happening???
Yes, sadly it seems to be that way. I also had like approximately 2000 in my reading and 1000 in my want to read list, and none of the are coming back unless you rate and give a tag. And even the list would be messy because the one I put in my reading list suddenly categorized as want to read. And the comments are also gone. You had to start again because nothing coming back anymore unlike before where the list slowly coming back. I lost more in already read too, like a whopping 2000, and I know I rate most of them too so, yeah, I think even the rated one isnt coming back completely too.
Lol mine was I saw my list got deleted around Feb 2? so idk maybe it will never comeback, I'm so sad at the same time mad cuz my list have atleast thousands of already read ( I hope they're spare it) but no I can rebuild it all but my side comments in that cannot. I always scroll it down and laugh over my comments also known as "summary" And the fact that there is original works I read maybe I will never see them again who knows I just accept it and let go cuz I literally cry when I saw all of em got deleted
This doesn't explain why all of my stories except 2, beyond 2016 are still missing (one in 2019 and one in 2024 is available), but nothing else. Over 3200+ stories still missing. I have been an avid reader (every day) on this site since 2014. I suspect the # I'm quoting is on the low side, as I'm aware of stories that went missing years ago too (and never returned), but not like this mass loss. And I haven't seen anyone mention this yet - all my mail has been deleted too.
Writing this for people who haven’t gotten their lists back /don't know what happened.
One of the site’s data disks failed which stored info related to users’ lists and written summaries ,that data was lost in the crash.
If you rated a manga or added a tag to it, they were able to recover them. Most of the restored manga were placed in the “already read” category. Deleted manga do show up in your notifications if updated so you can add them back that way.
Going forward, you should ALWAYS add a rating or atleast a tag to manga you're reading just incase something like this happens again.
Posting a message but it's been around a month if not more with no contact from the devs, only FAQs from people with experience etc. Personally, everything in this FAQ was accurate for me. Even my non-rated returned. That being said, since it's been a long time and we've had no official contact, I personally decided to get on with life and edit my lists. (mine were restored but I added my newly read since). I haven't experienced any issues and all my notifs are back. It's up to you guys what you do, but I personally didn't want to wait longer and took the risk :)
A lot of people are in the similar spot of not having their lists recovered. This could be due to non-rated or non-tagged (as per the only email we have), or you could've just been missed entirely. Literally no one knows.
Yall just accept it that our reading list will never come back maybe in the future but atm we have to add one by one.
I suggest searching up people’s list or list with popular and old manhwas so from there you can rebuild your list again.
Thats what Im doing rn and its a pain to do one by one but it is what it is. Its already April and our reading list is still not back
Yep, shitty time
Of the 1153 in my to read (that I was gradually migrating to my read - was updating ones I'd forgotten to change the status of but also going back through and reading the completed titles {since I like waiting for a series to finish first usually}
And of my 82 Now Reading
And 211 read
I restored a good chunk of my read on my own (and added a few new)
But they only brought back a whole
2 fucking titles back to my currently reading
And then only a piss poor amount of fucking 50 or 60 of my
Want to read
Dude, I'm just updating you. I lost many titles as well because I didn't rate them,because I KNOW you don't rate smth before you read it. If you wanna go back to the PREVIOUS conversations you can SEE it being mentioned again and again. If you wanna be rude I suggest you manually rebuild your list than waste your time on doing so.
**DO NOT REPLY**
ANSWERS:
ARE MY LISTS COMING BACK: NO. Your lists (Want to Read, Already Read, Reading) are NOT fully coming back to how they were before. What you have right now is it. Your lists have not changed for months and they will not change.
WHAT CAME BACK?: The only things that were recovered were those you rated/tagged.
WHAT CAME BACK DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT: What was added back into your account is not in order. They were just separated into Already Read and Want to Read mostly based on whether you rated them or not. You have to organize those manually.
WHAT ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE?: Anything you did not rate/tag/review is gone and you have to add it back in manually.
WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN?: Maybe? The batoto migration was pretty unique but this may end up happening again in the future. So you should keep external lists instead of being dependent on mangago. Use a tracker or create your own list by hand.
This is for everyone that keeps asking the same questions. DO NOT REPLY to this message so you don't bury this. Whatever followup questions you may have, they have already been asked and answered.

Now on to the current issue. I'm posting this here because a lot of yall are concerned. I’m not saying closing down sites is not possible. It’s just not as easy as people think.
MGo has gotten into trouble with authors before. Many times now actually. The worst case was when the author themself created an account here and threatened to take legal action against jjcat (the uploader of said author's manhwa), other uploaders, the readers, and the site itself. They even got other authors involved.
In the end though nothing really major happened beyond the comments being disabled. MGo's comment section eventually came back and jjcat continues to upload--many many other works at that
ETA FOR MORE CONTEXT
Back then things spiraled fast and got way too much attention. Users were panicking and posting all over MGo similar to what is happening now but much worse. Comment sections were flooded people were mass reporting and messaging the site and everything got chaotic especially with a legal threat happening publicly.
Disabling comments helped calm things down on MGo’s side but it did not actually solve the problem. The people involved just took it elsewhere (twttr). Lzhn and wbtn also ended up being pulled into it too (bc the author's work was serialized on lzhn). Its been nearly 5 years now, and MGo is still running and the uploader involved was never taken to court
TL;DR
i know it CAN play a role, but just getting exposure is not enough to close a site. Mgo has faced several disputes, even lzhn and wbtn somehow got involved, but the site is still running and jjcat was never held accountable.
oooh yeah, I remembered that time POTN author found it or like something similar . Yeah, mngo gone through so much and I actually have high hopes for this site.
I just can't help getting stressed because some bijjes are exposing sites publicly when it's supposed to be whispers behind walls. Sighs. So much happening over something. ┗( T﹏T )┛
Guys, just dont leave comments and helping their posts gain popularity. Just report and block. Dont interact cos you are proving their point. Also pls for the love of god, dont attack or antagonize artist and the companies that pays them. We are not in the position to have audacity or be bitchy. But yea alr reported them. Cant decide so i picked others as reason lol
Long answer: mangago uses separate systems for different things. One to SAVE your manga data (aka database/the memory), another one to DISPLAY your saved Manga data (aka UI/what you see), and another one for your browser/session data (aka cookies, login state, etc/this also connects the database and ui). When everything is working properly, these three systems stay in sync (eg. when you save a manga, it will show up in your list right away)
Right now the UI side (specifically for the Want to read / Reading / Already read) is bugged. Your old manga are still saved, but the list page cant “see” them so it shows 0. When you add a manga now, it saves correctly and shows up because its a new entry, which is why the count goes up. The original mangas/manhwa added to your lists are hidden, but the database still "remembers" them. That's why you still get notifications.
Why this happened tho is most likely bc of backend updates or overloaded servers/traffic spikes (especially bc we have an influx of new users). The random logouts is also connected to this :)
Short answer: The list display is bugging out most likely bc of backend updates or overloaded servers/traffic spikes esp bc we have an influx of new users (this also explains the random logout some users are experiencing). But your mangas are still saved that's why youre still getting notifications. Nothing to worry about :)
Yup. I just posted a FAQs for this: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080348/

Technically it won't. I added back like, 4(?)before they started to come back (not all yet, there will be a long way ... HOPEFULLY,if not i will start to seak a psychiatrist ⊙﹏⊙). And they weren't in the way of the "healing" process, they are just there, on top as if you never added them back in the days.

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

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
