> [@brandon](#): > > Ok, you will now notice that for all book series that are sourced from amazon (i.e. japanese books), you will no longer submit a request for additional volumes. Rather, you can simply hit ‘sync’ on the series page and it will update the series within the hour: Is there a UI for “Natively doesn’t have a series page for this book but Amazon does think it’s a series, please sync it” ? I couldn’t see one. Example, the “medium” manga, where Natively has only volume one: [medium 霊媒探偵城塚翡翠 1 | L27](https://learnnatively.com/book/8eb1eeb13b/) (at least I _think_ Amazon thinks that’s a series). ---

You know, these are very good suggestions. They are not in stats currently no. Mind submitting a product request? Although i’m sure this would be popular thing for end-of-year stat tracking 🤔 ---

I know this has been thrown around a while back @brandon but is adding VN/video games to Natively on the product roadmap any time soon enough for me to put off starting new games for a bit, or is that more of a maybe one day feature addition? fwiw, I’d rather have French than games, but I’m also greedy and want both 😅 ---

OK! I’ve added Spanish now as well. Today, my focus is on adding the Spanish & remaining German forums and making a formal blog announcement. Once I have Spanish, German & French added, i’ll probably wait a while for another language to be added. I want to prove that we can grow those languages first. The good news is that the actual process of adding a language with amazon to the site is quite straightforward now. > [@shitsurei](#): > > I know this has been thrown around a while back @brandon but is adding VN/video games to Natively on the product roadmap any time soon enough for me to put off starting new games for a bit, or is that more of a maybe one day feature addition? I would go ahead and start your game. Best case scenario would be sometime in April, but there are quite a lot of priorities ahead of it. It’s more likely to be the second half of the year. > [@shitsurei](#): > > fwiw, I’d rather have French than games, but I’m also greedy and want both 😅 This is much more doable! All we need is 3 purchases from [amazon.fr](http://amazon.fr). See the book providers thread for more detail. ---

Just checking in for general consensus - right now, are we meant to not log books in our native language? I’m holding off on adding my German books for now. I get that the site itself is for learners, but it’d be nice to have somewhere I could log all of my reading. Personally I think it’d be fine as long as I didn’t rate them, but I also don’t feel like going through the process of excluding every book from the ratings one by one. ---

> [@Belerith](#): > > Personally I think it’d be fine as long as I didn’t rate them, That’s what I did. Tbf, I only logged books I gave 4 or 5 stars to, because I want learners to potentially stumble upon them. But I do not grade them. The system doesn’t ask me to unless I am on the German side of things. So, I don’t see an issue there. (I do give them a star rating, though…) Edit: OK, I did end up giving a couple of gradings because they were very obvious as to which one is more difficult. I.e. things I read as a child without issues vs. things I read as an adult with issues. 🤣 but the majority got skipped. ---

I think its great to log your native books! Right now, we just need data for the new languages so it really helps… reviews, gradings, everything. However, I’ve already started a code project to allow you to mark your native languages which I’ll release quite soon. At some point I may limit gradings from native users and restrict native user activities from being shown in the activity feed, but I think for now those are very limited concerns 🙂 ---
