MangaDex Suggested Features: Megathread

[kyashiidesu]

It’d be nice if we have an option to add ebookjapan links since it’s one of the most popular sites to buy ebook raws.

 

[Swagner]

Has an option to filter searches by star rating been suggested already?

I don't know if someone has suggested this already or not (at least I don't see it in this thread), but it would be really nice if we could have a tag or something indicating in which magazine a manga was originally serialised.

Just check the series's MangaUpdates page, in most cases the link is already there so it's just one click away. There's no reason to burn time and resources on something that's already easily available.

i want to know when mangadex can have function 1
1. Mark chapter in different mode hold on, plan to read,... or a button to mark chapter by hand
2. If this was suggest or not, a button to return to chapter listing page at the end of chapter
3. A custom mark in completed mode, it ask me to mark or left it as it is
4. Chapter order, show chapter 1 at the beginning or last, chapter switching in case of a title have more group or language in it. So it can show the listing chapter of group or language

1. God only knows if ever
2. ??? Just click the manga link
3. I don't understand what you're trying to say
4. Sorting options will come someday, hopefully, but this chapter switching thing I don't understand either

 

[Minezuki]

oh i will return after study some more english
2. manga link was at the top, my suggest was to have one at bottom

 

[Teasday]

Well, for now just press the home key to jump to the top of the page. It won't be an issue in the new reader anyway.

 

[Potato]

@Swagner Not to filter them no, but you can sort chapters by rating if you change view mode to either simple list or expanded list. It's a hassle to change back and forth all the time but the other view modes will also get sorting options in the future sometime.

@Minezuki

4. Chapter order, show chapter 1 at the beginning or last, chapter switching in case of a title have more group or language in it. So it can show the listing chapter of group or language

You can filter languages in your settings so that it only shows english chapters.

@Teddy Your suggestions are linked under General on the list as 'Better page navigation', added a parenthesis just now to make it more clear. I'm pretty sure Holo said that he will improve it someday but i can't find that post right now.

 

[Minezuki]

If change language in setting, it will affect all and i want some language to be there. Not all manga are eng trans

 

[Plykiya]

@Minezuki You can change it to display results from multiple languages.

 

[Minezuki]

Thank you but first is that what you two suggested i do is not what i looking for, the thing is with manga have more language in it which match with language i have filtered

So i suggest (minor feature i want) a switching order for it to not show chapter between language but all chapter in same language.
Also the order which the chapter appear, listing mode chapter 1 -> chapter x or chapter x -> chapter 1 (also minor feature)

Thanks for fast reply, hope this can take in consideration

 

[Teasday]

@Minezuki Do you mean that the chapters should be ordered like Ch. 1 (Lang X), Ch. 2 (Lang X), Ch. 1 (Lang Y), Ch. 2 (Lang Y), and not like the current order of Ch. 1 (Lang X), Ch. 1 (Lang Y), Ch. 2 (Lang X), Ch. 2 (Lang Y)? As in, the list should be grouped by each separate language?

 

[Minezuki]

yes, and it should be a mode that can be choose - also it will be great if it was apply to group as well.
A wishful feature of mine but not practical, i guess so considerated will be appreciate

 

[Minezuki]

I think i got some attention so dumping more suggest which also my wishful fearture
1. Can i have something to change the default setting of follow from reading to on hold, then reader can decide what to do later. Basic is dump manga to place that dont mark, reading it then move to mark able area
Example from me: follow manga to on hold, then put completed manga to plan to read and pick some from the them
So my reading only a few manga need to finished, easy check if finished then transfer to complete and pick more
Pro: it will be marked; can read one chapter for review; easy for me; wont ask for mark in other mode, again
Con: i dont know, waste resource maybe
2. Completed mode will auto marked all the chapter, can i have it asking for doing it so i can say no to this automatic feature

Is there a Tag suggestion thread?
I've got a couple of tag suggestions that help clean up the ambiguity of manga that can get miss-classified as isekai.

The first tag is a Reincarnation tag for manga such as
https://mangadex.org/manga/17812/kouritsu-kuriya-madoushi-daini-no-jinsei-de-madou-wo-kiwameru
https://mangadex.org/manga/21758/kaifuku-jutsushi-no-yarinaoshi
I do acknowledge that it's more accurate to classify them"time-traveled" or reverted to child versions of themselves while retaining old memories, rather than actual reincarnation into a baby/infant.

The other tag I'd like to propose is an RPG stats or game-like tag for manga that involve stat screens and the like since manga that feature the game tag are vary widely in how they use the game tag from simply having game/rpg like stat screens
https://mangadex.org/manga/19522/ubau-mono-ubawareru-mono
https://mangadex.org/manga/17812/kouritsu-kuriya-madoushi-daini-no-jinsei-de-madou-wo-kiwameru

to featuring several forms of "games," competitions,
https://mangadex.org/manga/14151/tobaku-datenroku-kaiji-one-poker-hen
https://mangadex.org/manga/26468/kakegurui-yorozu

and in universe video games

https://mangadex.org/manga/21042/someday-we-ll-get-there

or based on a real video game

[vladthetransilvanian]

I already said this before, but I'm gonna say it again after the whole MAL going down crap. Can we get external links for other databases like Anilist, Kitsu and Anime-planet?

 

[meklahi]

It would be great if we have option to hide following manga from advance search so we dont click aa manga title twice to check is it has been followed or not

 

[Drachiel]

Would it be possible to import the favourite list from other websites, too ?
Like, copy/paste the whole list, and a script trying to match titles ?
('cause when you want to switch from, like, kissmanga, but you have more than 200 followed titles, doing it manually...)

 

[tejon]

It'd be great if we could hide the navbar in the reader for multiple chapters. It's a bit annoying to have to rehide it for each chapter, specially for series with really short ones.

 

[Jpwong]

Two things I'd like to see eventually, didn't see them on the first post, so not sure if someone else has already suggested it.

Language filtering on group chapter page. When I go to a group page and look at their chapters tab, I see every chapter that's been uploaded that they're associated with regardless of what my language filter options are.

Manga search last updated to take into account language filter. I've been doing searches of manga to read and because the last updated column just shows the last updated date of the latest uploaded chapter regardless of language, I keep getting mangas where there are no chapters available in the language I've selected (and some stuff that I am following that say it's been updated recently due to an update in a language I'm not following)
