I’m curious do folks have any best before and after pictures with manwhas that baited you with pretty art, and then you come back and your like wtf is this

Art Downgrades really hurt my feelings when I’m into a story so, I’d like to laugh about it

    Like from same artist? I havent seen much drastic downgrades. I hated the artsyle after love is fantasy the queen then sidestories for love is an illusion. It made everyone “twinkified” even the male alphas. Tho it became okay in LIAI superstar.

    Another is dear benj. Tho it was different artist cos the og was fired. Its not much of the art was really ugly, but the style was drastically different that it felt uncanny

    The only one I can think off is half of me.
    I have an example of the MC in my albums.
    The first picture shows the beginning art, middle picture whatever was going on during that time
    And finally the last image is the current style.
    (The art has gotten better again, though)

How do you use the rating system on an individual/personal approach?

Ratings are important to me, cause I enjoy revisiting things I’ve read before. I found that this approach the most helpful, instead of being a critic, without thinking too hard lol

: there’s something that I hate about this
: there’s something I dislike about this
: rather neutral, mixed bag, unsure, meh
: there’s something that I like about this
:there’s something I love about this

Really want a zero for killing recs, and 6 star for boosting recommendations.

    Jas-uwu-n 3 October 21, 2023 4:24 pm

    For me, I definitely don’t think I’m doing it right but I typically just do 5 star ratings for the boosting recommendations. The jump between 4 and 5 stars seems too drastic for me, with 5 stars basically rating it a 10.0 and 4 stars rating it a 8.0, so I typically leave my normal 4 star ones with no rating to not drop the rating if that makes sense. I only rate 4 stars if I really do think they are like a 8.0 rating, but overall, I usually do 5 star or no rating. Very rarely do I do anything below that because I probably dropped it before even getting that deep into it.

    It’s not the worst approach either because when going back and looking at my lists, I know which ones that stood out to me and really enjoyed because they made me want to boost them and give them a 5 star rating :D

    Hibou October 21, 2023 4:37 pm

    I rarely rate, and Always 5*.
    The problem is that when you look at the average, below 9.1 is "bad".
    And many stories with 9.1-9.4 don't deserve it.
    So I only rate the 8-8.9 that the idiots sank because it's different or the 9.5+ which are really, really good.

    Homotter October 21, 2023 4:37 pm

    i usually put one star when i think there is something genuinely twisted about it like cp or proship stuff, and 5 stars when i think it deserves the world. no in between lol

MapleMatryoshka October 17, 2023 5:11 pm

I love this site, like genuinely, I live here.

But just because I enjoy something doesn’t mean it can’t be better!

I want a fourth button, after reading, read, and want to read.

Desperately I want a skip button??? Or a pass button??? Banished??? or a ive read the summary and I don’t want to have to read it again cause I have a goldfish brain and pretty covers clickbait me repeatedly???


So I want a section that I can just- call it the shadow realm button. I’m sure some sick fucks would love to see what sick fucks banish to the shadow realm, even better once you banish something it doesn’t return to the recommended for you.

What other features are y’all daydreaming between scrolling?

    Sort by rating, sort by manga/manhwa/manhua (I know we have the sort webtoons for now), better tagging or reviewed trigger warnings, starring and accessing favorites. Also I know the site is recovering from being broken, but the categories (yaoi stories in shounen ai category for example) and marking stories as ongoing/completed need to be better maintained.
