Responses to problems pointed out:
"10-min survey how fast they read": I meant this to be a single adjustable setting for users that would simply be a global multiplier on estimated reading times.
Users trying to create junk data: I don't see a motive to abuse the system unless they also add a...
If there is ever a continuation of this, I could easily see it being as good, if not better than the Melting Woman's Bath series by Oshima Towa/Tomo (similar plot/setting but the relationship dynamic is reversed).
I am not a statistics person. That's why my statistics ideas are not good :boomer:. The hope is that stat robots would see the idea and maybe it sparks better ideas in their brains (even if it's totally unrelated to this one).
That is a funny thread. I still think my suggestion is feasible though. You could try to account for differences between readers by asking them how fast they typically read a page, and account for differences between titles by having the website time how much time users spend reading them...
It sounds like you read this post as my theory of how MangaDex currently works. Unless I messed it up somehow, it's meant to be an idea to improve the system with even more math, which is why it's in the Suggestions area. It should be possible to implement this while still doing the Bayesian...
The idea is to look at the dimensions and amounts of pages in each chapter and calculate an estimated total reading time of a manga (maybe also separate values for each language too).
Obviously this can't be calculated as precisely as books with just words in it, since some pages are denser...
The highly undemocratic idea is that if users leave more scores and make more use of the ten star values, their votes would count more than others towards the overall rating.
Pros:
Encourages users to leave a wider variety of ratings and think harder about what they put on the top or bottom...
Oh it doesn't get the "show unavailable chapters button", so I guess the uploaders just deleted the chapter. What a weird coincidence. Good thing it's still on Dynasty Scans.
It seems like this series has a cursed combo of super young-looking characters and attracting artists that do full-color art styles, which makes any resulting sex very hard to look at. The only ones I've seen that don't have this problem are the two fanfics by Borushichi.
Good: Genderswap with a trans character (insane how rare that is).
Good: 18+ Genderswap that isn't rape/torture (also insane how rare that is).
Bad: Main sex scene is with a random older woman with a penis instead of Alysha or the two maids.
A big step in the right direction but not quite...
I love how they introduce who is basically the main antagonist 29 chapters into the story, and immediately defeat her so decisively she doesn't show up again.
Yeah I was excited when I found a different translation of this somewhere else before and ended up disappointed by how half of them are either not consensual or not really threesomes. I would say the only good one is the Aweida chapter, and the Suzuo, Osatou, and Keeta chapters are okay.
I...
I wonder if the feelings I got from this first arc are similar to when cupids get hit by their own bullets. I normally get over sad stories after an hour, but this time it's not going away and I'm not sure why. The only difference I can think of is that stories normally create sadness by...
