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

So… it took me some time to realize that even Ian’s name comes from (Br)Ian. He is literally a part of himself and his soul. And the reason a lot of people can’t wrap their head around them being the same person is because a part of him is still missing and I’m not talking only about his previous life’s memories. While I see decent amount of people waving to Ian/Lorkan in recent chapters, I decided to write my little essay on those things and why it can’t happen.
So, I think a lot of people got the impression that this is not a regular love triangle story with “I have feelings for both, who should I choose”, because Cardinal is not that interested in having romantic relationship with Ian (we’ll talk about it later) and Brian/Ian clearly has no romantic swings towards him either. The story itself is build around two opposite ideas, old as the time: mind vs heart, desire vs duty, etc. Lorkan and Sol clearly represent these ideas along with things around them. Sol is about magic, Arcaia, free choice, honesty, consent and all the good things. Lorkan is about order, Derwin, duty, “curse” and everything relatively bad. I think the most important part is how Ian feels about interacting with those things. If you go back to beginning of the story, you’ll notice how everything in Derwin is gray, lifeless, corrupted and based on lies. And more importantly, how unhappy Ian is in this world built for him (the whole Derwin is literally a cage Lorkan made for his “bird”). The fact that Ian oversleeps every single day, disrespects his knight’s duties occasionally is not only about his night agenda but also about how much he is depressed, lost and confused about his life. “People who are dissatisfied with their current lives (…) and I was one of those people”. While he is with Sol, he feels comfort, safety, being seen and understood, he finds peace within his presence and his mana (while Lorkan’s is suffocating). Being around Sol is like enjoying sun laying on the lawn, it is warm and fulfilling. Cardinal presence is more like desperately reaching to a lantern in the dark — it is the only source of light within darkness, it reminds you of the sun, but you end up bumping into cold glass casket hurting yourself.

Hear me out. I think they're all players.

but first off...

RULES OF THE TAPES
- Tapes = save files/load point
- Tapes only reload if they were played before you died
- Faulty tape = faulty load point (i.e. Hyungshin thinking he's some spiritual guy that one time)
- Tapes can be marked AND THESE MARKS WILL NOT BE OVERWRITTEN. (ex. Yongtaek's smiley tape, Seongchan's check tape)
- The MOST RECENTLY USED TAPE of a player is considered their latest save file, regardless of markings.


PLAYERS:

1. Bada
- I agree with another comment that Bada probs has another tape with his old memories, but it's been lost for a LONG TIME.
- Bada DOESN'T mark his tapes, which is probs why he lost his Main one
- Whatever tape Bada used to replace his lost one might've been Doha's Main tape, hence why he knows he's in a game, but not much else

2. Seongchan [Main tape = tape with check, but no confirmed save file info]
- Since he's Bada's cousin AND has a marked tape, he probs also got numb to dying, WHICH IS WHY HE'S NORMALLY THE FIRST TO DIE. He doesn't care anymore.
- Him dying early is why he tag teams with Yongtaek. Yongtaek does double the work if Seongchan dies (lazy ahh)

3. Yongtaek [Main tape = smiley faces w/ "The End"]
- Was likely dragged into this freaky ahh death loop by Seongchan
- Joined AROUND THE SAME TIME as Bada

4. Hyungshin [unknown Main tape]
- His OG tape was either faulty or got completely wrecked
- His wrecked tape data is probs why he's a himbo (or he's just naturally that way)

5. Jaeseob [unknown Main tape. full theory, no confirmed info]
- His tape/save file is probs the most secure and hidden
- His chronic complaining can be explained cuz of HIM HAVING HIS COMPLETE MEMORIES FROM BEFORE THE GAME
- Might be the only player remaining who still remembers the ACTUAL way to end the game

6. Doha [unknown Main tape]
- Might be the newest player
- Clearly has practical and intellectual experience with horror
- Like Bada, he doesn't mark his tapes, which is why he's likely not using his Main tape with his pre-game memories. He might've found Bada's Main tape, which could explain why he's so into Bada.


RULES OF THE GAME (that we know so far)
A. Dying is not an escape
B. Different ways of dying = Different "endings"
C. Solving puzzles to reach certain areas (AND THEN dying) counts as a new ending
D. The killer normally appears when players trigger a death flag trope
E. The killer respawns unless Doha kills him for some reason, idk why
F. You can only save using casette tapes (see above)
