But there will be suggestion feature for them on series page right? (And hopefully also descriptions) 5u115l

To not create post under post; Who sugegsted merging white and silver color?! White is completely white with slightly grade of any color in art shade like blue (as there don't exist white and darker white xD), while silver is light GRAY lol

• Scenario Deviation

What's the point of this tag? Literally every "Isekaied to book" end with different story than original book (so far I saw only one which began after original book content, and there are thousands book-isekais)

Can I ask what happened to “Trash Male Lead” tag?

There doesn't seem to be any difference between upvoting and downvoting since they're both adding a point, making the tag float to the top, so there isn't much point to even having a community driven tag system with the way it currently is.

Also, maybe make a merged "based on a web/light novel" seeing as the vast majority of the adaptations started off as a web novel and later got picked up and published as a light novel, before being adapted to manga form, and the few that didn't, would still fit the category by being one of the two. Either that or get rid of both of those categories and just stick with "based on a novel", since that one seems to be the one that's most used, even though it's the least accurate. I mean, you could probably count the number of manga based on real novels on one hand, but that hasn't stopped it from being incorrectly used thousands of times.

Nearly all korean and chinese webtoons are based on novel always web novel which doesnt have any LN version. There as thousands of webtoons based on WN. Only japanese web novels are often adapted to LN before, and if, it became manga/anime.

PS. If it's only one or two s who are adding "adapted from" tags, mods can take back their permission to add tags, I have that situation not long ago where someone was adding "reincarnation" instead of "transmigration".

Why don’t we just use "Based on a Book" instead of multiple tags? After all, Novel, WN, LN, Korean Novel, Chinese Novel, Western Work, and Classics are all books. Heck, we can even include Comic, Webtoon, Webcomic, Doujinshi, Manga, Manwha, Manhua too…

Personally, I prefer having more specific tags, so I’m against it. That said, it wouldn’t affect me much since I don’t use them often.

Your comment reminded me of something: Perhaps an old once suggested merging ML, FL, and Protagonist tags, especially for eye and hair color. I’m glad that didn’t happen.

Hollymolly it sounds much more insane than merging WN and LN, personally I can see that people will be liokinnfor loved traits like White-Haired guys or try to find series only based on single image with dumdum Pink-Haired girl and Black-Haired boy! How you supposed to find them if it will be merged?? Like imagine instead of for example 100 romances with this combo you will see 1000 or more options. I think while not many may try to find what is based on WN and not LN, they are totally different in content, like LNs are designated to teenagers/very ya only, then WN are... more wide, from 5yo to 50yo, authors can write about anything (it's just coincidence that half of them are for similar age audience like LN xd)

Actually, I just ed that I’ve read one or two isekai webtoons that follow the original story, so yeah, that tag isn’t that important.

But do we really need the “Male Protagonist” and “Female Protagonist” tags? Mostly male demographic series have a male protagonist, and we also have “Male Demographic with Female Lead” (and vice versa), so isn’t that redundant?

One more thing, I’m not exactly sure how the Category Recommendation system works, but I think having these kinds of tags would help make recommendations more accurate.

Yeah, reincarnation-related tags are among the most misused ones. Actually I did that at first too (sorry, I was ignorant)… The second most misused ones are fantasy subgenres, especially “Sword and Sorcery” and “High Fantasy.” By the way, why is “Sword and Sorcery” labeled as “Sword and Sorcery/Magic”?

Can the "sex in front of an audience" category be changed to title case ("Sex in Front of an Audience")?

the "Male protagonist" and "female protagonist" tags are most useful for finding a series again rather than getting a recommendation. Especially if you are the type to read from all the genres.

Creative use if I want all the stories with female protagonists that are not specifically aimed at the female audience I can include the "Female protagonist" tag but exclude the "shoujo" and "josei" that would give me all the shoujo ai, yuri and all the series with a female protagonist that are not girl love (the same thing works in reverse for male protagonists)

Edit: I just checked and surprisingly the TOTAL number of BL (Yaoi + Shounen ai) is 50081 while all the Shounen + Seinen is 49771 which means that more of the male protagonists are in gay series than in series targeted towards a male audience (I know this is because there are more short series in BL than shounen but it amuses me that at the moment the count is higher)

but won't you over so many manga and such if you search with "female protagonist" or "male protagonist?" just from the most used tags alone, there's at least 10k manga on here, but the female protagonist and male protagonist tags number only number to around 3k for both of them so you won't be overlooking a modest amount if you do the math. some popular/classic manga lack the male/female protagonist tags, and many of the newly added manga do too. i've been getting into the habit of tagging male/female protagonist more, but there's so many missing the tags still if you just look at some of the manga on "what's new," the ones that have tags cover most bases except the gender of the protagonist

this is just because it's already assumed who the protagonist is based on whether they're josei/shoujo or shounen/seinen, but the exceptions are what the "Male Demographic with Female Lead" and similar tags are for

I started adding the tags more since there are series that don't get tagged as any of the traditional demographic options (shounen/shoujo/seinen/josei/yaoi/yuri) which happens more for non manga. Honestly I mostly use them as exclusion tags when trying to figure out a series I read previously that I can't the target demographic for. (I read everything).

They are probably less helpful for people who stay with just one or two demographics

I found a duplication:

• Black/Dark Magic
• Dark Magic/Power
