Haha. Well, that was a quick demonstration.
Looking at the ratings here, many people might actually consider 3 to be “it was OK”. That’s actually another case for keeping it that way if labeled; possible consistency with existing ratings.
Thinking about it, I mainly want two things actually:
- Having to think less about whether I’m internally consistent and what ratings mean.
- More room for nuance in the positive ratings.
Originally I thought of the Goodreads labels because they open up a new positive rating space, but I think both could also be reached by e.g. the following labels:
- hated it
- didn’t like it
- it was OK
- really liked it (“liked it” feels a bit weak, tbh, but I’m not married to the exact wording)
- loved it
…and being able to set half-stars.
