I like the emoji idea, but aren’t qualifiers just a way to choose randomly?
Sure, I have no problem with that.

My bad cover for 2023 is Tuberose, in that I read it despite the cover. Next year’s might be Medium (not sure what percentage we’ll have read this year, so maybe not), because again I would never pick it up based on the cover. Others may love it, but it’s my bingo.

I figure if you’re consciously using the qualifiers to pick randomly it’s notable, right?
Edit: well, re-reading the qualifiers list, it’s more just intended for that one square… So you’re right, no need to add it to the table!

Not necessarily, but I like the 
emoji, so I’ll say yes!

I went ahead and didn’t add it for now 
since it’s just part of the square. But if we do want it so we can avail of the cool emoji then I can add it.

Fun. I used 
to mean vanilla, no modifiers.
Edit: Although actually, these will be true anyway:
- Take on the bingo challenge with only one type of book (manga, LN, novel, etc.)
(novels only) - All books you read are either physical or digital; no mixing (digital)

That was my bad cover choice as well 
but then I realized I needed the book for „series completed“ 
so I had to come up with the second-worst one

It counts as a series? 
If we’re counting every 上 and 下 as a series then I have a hope of crossing out that box!
(in contrast to the higher grading box, because Tatami Galaxy is 43, and I don’t see much that interests me above that)

They are registered as a series on Natively, so I think it’s fair.
I’m also going to count “reached the last volume published” for series that are not completed yet.

In my case, I don’t count 上 and 下 as a series, but with Tuberose it’s different - they are not labelled 上 and 下 but they have distinct titles (AGE22 and AGE32).
And yeah, I will also be out of luck regarding this box in the future, I’m afraid…

I think I will too! Otherwise a lot of series wouldn’t even qualify for the box, which seems to me to miss the point.

Would u have to start the series in the same year for it to count?
According to the official prompt list, no:
“Finish a series (can be either one you are already reading or you can start a new one)”

I’m planning to get all of ハピネス on sale and binge read it cause it’s ~L17 and I’ve heard very low text density
It’s not cheating, I swear.

I kinda figure whenever Bookwalker has a noteworthy sale in general is when I swoop in, or if that publisher has a sale

For fun, 2023 version (although I wasn’t strict about only counting one book/prompt for this one):

I’m looking forward to everyone’s bad covers though I think this from my TBR will be hard to beat… 泥棒よ大志を抱け | L30??
