I roughly understand, why read counter happens only if user follow the manga (DB shenanigans most likely), but it's still not that user-friendly when discovering new manga.
Basically, my proposition would be:
Use `localStorage` API to store the read chapters for unfollowed titles. For people like me, I usually read it up until last chapter and only then remember to throw a follow, and even with apr-09 change, it's not that user-friendly when you have to manually mark chapters as read. This may be opt-in feature, because some people obviously paranoid and dislike websites storing any data on their local machines.
As next step, there also possibility to expand read/unread AJAX api to allow receiving array of chapter IDs (and from forums, it seem to be planned in one way or another), and when following manga, sending IDs that are stored locally to be added on server-side.
If anything, I can throw together a userscript that would do the thing, but having it out-of-the-box is better.
Update: A-and as soon as I posted it, I found the exact thread that proposes it, sorry. Should've checked megathread better.
