Yeah, and further down the y-axis of “levels over time” has pgs instead of episodes. ---

@brandon Should I open a request for specifying the subforums in the Natively dashboard? ![image](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/8/82c5fb674964d810e4e0d6a9f4cbda15bc520ded.png) Currently there’s no way to see if that #Reading > Book Clubs is from the Japanese or Korean subforum. Also, created threads and pinged you in each subforum for you to pin when you have some time. ---

Minor Natively milestone for me: 2000+ gradings! I was thinking to stop grading at exactly 2000 for the screenshot, then immediately forgot. ![IMG_2796](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/33667102a846328961b97d49306ed9edee22540d.jpeg) Only 158 books added?

I’m at 124 but have only read 156, so my tastes must be weird 😂 It’s probably mostly the Aozora stuff, I don’t think I even technically got ‘credit’ for the spreadsheet of Aozora stories I requested brandon to add pre-emptively for me. Congratulations though! Quite the milestone! ---

Do that for 10+ years (the first manga I read in Japanese was back in 2009… so close to 15 years ago now 😅) Speaking of manga, they do account for most of my books, too. In fact, they account for nearly two thirds of the total… ![IMG_2797](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/8/89f00d6875e17abf1e0dc67a360382e154299a6c.jpeg) ---

> [@Naphthalene](#): > > Only 158 books added? Those be rookie numbers. I need to start focusing on reading stuff so weird no one has ever heard of it. I’m at 114 books added, but I bet a bunch of those of obscure Manga Time Kirara series that no one else would read. Also, does anyone know if this is individual books or series? Sometimes I will do the “add more volumes” button and I wonder if that adds to the total. > [@Naphthalene](#): > > I honestly have no clue.

It absolutely blows my mind that people think that novels are easier than manga. I will give you that the handwritten text can be hard to read, but it’s usually just a side comment or small joke and rarely consequential to the story. Now, admittedly I probably read 200-300 volumes of manga before I ever read a novel in Japanese, so that may be part of my problem. But still. 😂 ---

> [@seanblue](#): > > Also, does anyone know if this is individual books or series? Sometimes I will do the “add more volumes” button and I wonder if that adds to the total. It _has_ to be series. I added something like 85 books + series back in the early days of the website, including one that has 52 volumes ([ハヤテのごとく! (series) | L27](https://learnnatively.com/series/477b820c8f/)) and one that has 32 volumes ([伯爵と妖精 (series) | L30](https://learnnatively.com/series/673d50efe0/)). That’s more than half my total already with just those two. I don’t know if adding more volume counts, though. ---

Actually, all ‘requests’ are counted. So ‘add more volume requests’ and new book requests are counted as one each. @seanblue @mic noted on those stats label things And really amazing milestones @Naphthalene and everyone!!!

I wanted to throw this one out there, how do people feel about being able to rate reviews? I often find some book reviews are more helpful than others. Could just be a flat x people found this helpful like on Amazon or maybe something where you could add stickers/reactions like ‘Good plot summary’, ‘Helpful at determining language level’ etc. [Previous page](https://forums.learnnatively.com/t/product-updates-casual-natively-discussion/18.md?page=74) [Next page](https://forums.learnnatively.com/t/product-updates-casual-natively-discussion/18.md?page=76)
