The forum doesn’t have a search function so idk if this is asked before or not. It was not in the list of Planned and Rejected Read Marker or Chapter Listing features at least.
Marking a manga as “Conpleted” right now do two things: Changing the status to Completed and marking ALL chapters as read. The second action should be removed, because it also mark any future chapters as read (most important reason) and it also mark chapters I don’t want to mark as read, as read.
If the scanlators uploaded chapter 48/48 of a manga, and every other chapter is up, I can safely assume the manga is done and therefore mark it “Completed”. However, if another group uploads a bonus side story chapter 48.1, or if another group uploads their own version of chapter x, then those are also marked as read.
People don’t check everyday to see if their completed manga get new updates, and they rely on the read marker for chapters they’ve already read. Counter argument to this can be to just not mark it Completed, which defeats the purpose of the Completed button. Readers have no way to know if the author is gonna publish a random side story 2 months later, or if the scanlators will upload a chapter of all the Twitter short stories the author did as a bonus chapter. When will the readers DO mark a manga as completed? Not to mention, there might be chapters the users don’t want to mark as read, for whatever reason. Making the Completed button auto mark everything as read just feel like a needless ability the users could’ve just do themselves.
Btw, for this chance maybe a chapter marking feature would be great. To mark certain chapters that one like to come back to, to save for later, etc. I used to bookmark on my browser some nice chapters I would check again sometimes just because they have an outstanding scene or dialogue.
