I was halfway through writing a review, when I noticed that the bottom-of-the-page dialog box about cookie preferences was still up. So I clicked on the button to decline extra cookies, and it reloaded the page and lost my half-written review text 
(Luckily I was only doing a copy-paste-and-edit of something I’d written elsewhere…)
Well that serves you right for declining my wonderful cookies… duly noted though that’s a good point.
I don’t understand the logic of why it needs to reload the page.
Are cookies being fed before accepting them?
OT: What if I have nut allergy and are nut cookies?
Accepting cookies also leads to a lost review. It’s happened to me multiple times, which is why I always copy the review text before submitting now. 
Aside from not getting the logic of reloading the page when you decline cookies, I wonder if another cookie manager would be able to save the setting without doing that annoyance regardless the option you choose?
IIRC I haven’t seen this behaviour anywhere else.
For people willing to experiment, the duckduck browser gets these annoying popups out of your face. Not sure if I’m ready to leave firefox though.
But I tested and it works as intended so far:
I just noticed that the grading FAQ says “we generally do not allow difficulty comparisons between volumes on the same series”, but the algorithm was asking me to grade various 十二国記シリーズ books against each other this afternoon. Has that series been marked as “varies a lot in difficulty”? (all the books in it I’ve read so far feel about the same to me…), or is that FAQ note out of date?
Edit: never mind, I just found the review of the first book in the series (or what I think of as “book zero”) which says it’s noticeably easier than the rest. I haven’t read that one yet.
Does 姑獲鳥の夏 1 【電子百鬼夜行】 | L39 act strangely for everybody, or just me?
(The version of this book I read is single-volume, whereas Natively has separate entries for a volume 1 and 2; dunno if that is confusing things here.)
So, interestingly I’m showing you don’t have that book in your library, is that right?
The review does exist and other people can view it on the book page, but there’s a little logic that prevents you from viewing it right now because it’s not in your library. 
Since I just spammed the book request form, I need to immortalize this:
(and yes, you can still like childish humour at close to 40 
)
And this reminds me - for anyone wondering why their book requests are taking a little bit longer, we’ve gotten a whole boatload of them this past few weeks and we’re a bit backed up 
We really need the auto-adder for Japanese books, goodness. Although then the floodgates might truly open…
I’m sorry. 
I was just going through my TBR and ebooks and adding stuff. It’s not urgent. I will stop until either the auto-adder is here or your backlog has calmed down. 
See this is why I usually don’t want to make those sorts of announcements. Please add whatever you like! If the system isn’t scaling that’s on me to fix … 
FYI we have a prioritization scheme where we add books people are reading and / or finished first, before we add people’s request for ‘owned’ or ‘wishlist’ books… so you’re not blocking any critical book requests.
Yes, I think so. I had assumed it was in my library from the bulk import, but presumably not because the ISBN would have been for the single volume edition rather than the two volume version Natively has? How does the site handle “same book, just the split into volumes is different” generally – do you have a single Natively “book” covering both, or do you split it?
(I was going through adding some reviews I’d written on other forums, finding the books to add them to via search rather than starting from my library.)
Strange… by adding a review it should’ve been auto added to your library as ‘finished’. Regardless, if you add the book to your library now, then you will be able to see the review. This state should literally never happen, hmm.
So, originally, I almost only did single editions and just required users to use them. This was good because it consolidated reviews and gradings into one place. However, it is a pretty poor user experience when it comes to actually logging & tracking your data, so now I will add additional editions as a separate series of books if you request it.
Since improving this situation is pretty critical, I’m hoping these duplicative ‘edition series’ will be connected later on this year… so it’s not an issue to add these extra edition series if you’d like.
Technically, I should’ve already found all your books that are on this site already and added them to your library. Granted, I only did a ISBN search, so perhaps I missed a few…
I am just glad you won’t have anything close to the hell that is the GR edition system. 
There’s a couple of series where the individual book images have been updated, but still display the old images in browse/lists.
I’ve noticed there’s quite a few of these on the site, especially in cases where the initial cover scrape brought back low-res/missing/inconsistent edition images and later the series was updated with consistent/Kindle covers. I’ve reported a few of the more egregious ones, but I figured at some point it might be worth looking into doing a site-wide script that would check everything.
If you look at the series they are talking about, it’s pretty much hell already.
