Well let's start by saying i have no idea how this site calculated its averages first. As the average ought to be made like thisThis site's rating system is completely fucked, it's based on some bullshit algorithm they have set where something has a default of 8 and scores are weighted to bring them in line with that as the baseline. It is NOT an actual average of user ratings. On top of that there are a bunch of troglodytic creatures on this site that spam 10s at everything they read regardless of whether it was actually good, even an actual user rating scale wouldn't be great, but it would be a hell of a lot better than their completely asinine scaling system on the ratings. Over an 8 isn't shit here.
To get an actually decent user rating, look at the actual vote distribution and disregard 90+% of the 10 ratings, and then calculate that average.
10,186 ÷ 1,182 = 8.6176
Which rounds up to 8.62. But its sitting at 8.57. Which means its weighted in a funky lil way.
So yeah. Grain of salt with everything here as my math brain is old and rusty.
10: 507
9: 261
8: 238
7: 75
6: 27
5: 14
4: 10
3: 7
2: 2
1: 41
The original weighted average of 8.57 is based on all ratings through specifically the sites equation, not what could be 8.62.
Discounting 90% of the 10-star ratings.
507 × .9 = 456.3
507 - 456.3 = 50.7
50.7 is the new 10-star rating. So the new weighted average equation is:
10(50.7)+9(261)+8(238)+7(75)+6(27)+5(14)+4(10)+3(7)+2(2)+1(41) = 5,623
50.7+261+238+75+27+14+10+7+2+41 = 725.7
5,623 ÷ 725.7 = 7.748.
Which rounds up to 7.75 as the new rating.
Again, this may not account for the mangadex rating system, which used a different equation.
So. Ya know. Math's n' shit.
Anyways, still pretty a good rating for a slop-rotica.
(Also, someone smarter than me check my work please and thanks.)
