I guess this is just a matter of preference. I don’t like half stars (it’s essentially just a 10 pt rating system) and I think 10 pt systems are less common & more stressful and potentially more noisy. I think people mostly like it to distinguish their favorites vs their loved books, but I think a favorites functionality is best for that, not complicating the rating system.
For me it’s harder to rate something out of 5 than out of 10, but I guess giving a favourite would help reduce the stress on what I rate 5 starts, while I really loved it I woudn’t call it a favourite.
BTW if anyone hasn’t seen the manual favourite topics, it’s over here:
Description of your request or bug report:
Remove the existing “favorites” section on the profile, which really just shows all 5 star rated books
Allow users to manually specify favorite books and series (which would be shown together)
Allow users to order these favorites
Display these favorites on the profile page, including the cover art for each book/series
Potentially bucket with custom list updates & featured lists
