It seems to have come from Anilist, so I’m not sure how fruitful deleting it would be. I think it might/could mean that the protag is narrating the story? Or that it uses first person, rather than third person at times? …Maybe it means it features scenes from multiple protagonists’ perspectives, and was just worded poorly?
I haven’t read any of the series on our tag page or Anilist’s tag page (Note: some NSFW covers) to confirm - maybe someone else who has can chime in here?
How so? Is brandon still pulling tags from anilist and might re-populate any we delete here? I was suggesting we delete it from the tag pool entirely, not just that one work.
If it’s any of these cases then it needs to be changed to 1st/3rd/Multiple POV as needed, if they don’t already exist.
I was under the impression that new works pull tags in from Anilist when imported, and so it would repopulate. Entirely possible I’m wrong tho - I haven’t checked, and don’t follow tags closely.
In any case, I agree it’s a really terrible/unclear tag, and probably worth deleting, if it won’t repopulate
The one thing where it sorta makes sense (and isn’t being used for) would be something like 平民のくせに生意気な! | L30?? which is a retelling of 私の推しは悪役令嬢。 | L33, but from the other character’s perspective
I rather suspect that “POV” is one of Anilist’s porn subcategory tags that @brandon missed in the earlier mass cull of porn tags. I would suggest deleting it.
There’s multiple stuff that’s not porn that has the tag too tho? (Not disagreeing about deleting)
It sounds to me like it’s for manga that has frames which are drawn from the perspective of the protagonist (i.e. as if the eyes of the protagonist were the camera through which we see the scene).
If it is that, I don’t see why it should be deleted, but rephrasing might make it clearer, especially since it seems two people attached it to Light Novels.
Knowing if a novel is written in first or third person seems reasonable to tag, but it feels kind of silly for manga.
Maybe my description wasn’t clear enough either.
Here’s an example of what I expect the tag to mean:
I got that, but are there manga that use that perspective the whole time? I wouldn’t use the tag if it’s only done on occasion.
I don’t understand how it’s “kind of silly” then. I don’t know a lot of manga who use that kind of perspective at all, so I can definitely see people being interested and looking for manga which use that, however much or little.
That’s not a concern of the tag itself. That’s what the percentage behind the tag is for.
And isn’t that the same for almost all other tags? Like - is Kansai-ben used all the time (main element 100%), or is it only one side character (minor element 25%)? Is the whole manga about musicals (100%), or is there one single chapter where a musical plays a role (25%)? Is the whole manga in first person POV (100%) or does it only happen occasionally (25%)?
All totally fair points. I guess I never thought people would seek that out, but that is why there are basically infinite options for tags.
I can confirm that it happens in blue rock.
I’d go further and say I didn’t see any porn 
But I didn’t scroll far to be fair.
I scrolled a bit more and there were stuff that looked really sus but it’s hard to say due to the looks of a lot of male-oriented manga or light novel.
I didn’t investigate the actual titles, but with some of the covers further down, I’d be quite surprised if they weren’t.
I’m not sure if this belongs in a product request, but if/how tags for new books can be handled?
Recently I was: 1. Looking for yuri LNs with audiobooks, 2. Looking through my yuri reads (via tag filtering) to give recommendations to someone. In both cases, there were a number of untagged books. Many of them were things I’ve added (recently and months back).
I don’t mind adding tags to things sometimes, but I’m often not thinking of it, and it gets kind of exhausting to do it for everything… plus sometimes I get stuck on whether/what to tag (which maybe I should start discussions for here? )
So anyway, wondering if there’s a way to handle this, so the burden isn’t on the user adding the material. Or to prompt the user to add tags upon adding, since it’s probably not going to occur to most users. Maybe even just some sort of “Needs tags” indicator or toggle, for items with 0 tags?
Since this would need new features to be implemented either way I think this does belong into “Product Requests”, yeah. Maybe make a thread there before too much discussion happens here instead?
Or finishing. I add a lot of things based on just seeing a cover I like or a show that comes up in the feed of a steaming service and know very little about the contents when I add something.
Mm yeah guess I’ll go do that. I just thought I’d post here first, in case there was some sort of “oh we can run a new batch import” sort of solution or something already in place
You mean the tags are missing for books that have linked Anilist entries, so they should have automatic tags? I guess that would be a bug report then; I think that should happen automatically without any intervention.
Fwiw novels have no automatic import from anywhere (nor do I really want it) and so I’m in the habit of adding tags when I go to review a book. I agree with @shitsurei that it could be a prompt on finishing the book
Ok, I added a product request: Automated tag handling/prompting for new entries
I have no idea whether any of said books are on Anilist or not. But does that process happen on import, or later? What if books are added to Anilist long after they’re added to the site? Will they end up with tags?
Are you worried about spoilers or something? What’s the disadvantage to having it?
