• Hobby project problem: Analysing a user's anime database to find what's their interest, but I don't have a target value for ML models??

  Shows I've already seen that are similar: You can include a link to a list on another site if you have one, e.g. MyAnimeList or AniList. Source: 6 months ago

• What's the best way to discover new manga?

  I usually Discovery new series through myanimelist.net/, baka-updates manga, through forum online, looking for reviews, looking to collections or hauls of other readers posted here or on you tube. Source: 6 months ago

• I feel like I’ve watched everything I like so please either give me something I haven’t watched yet based on my list or give me something I haven’t watched yet in general. I’m willing to expand my taste outside of shonen, medieval fantasy, and isekai.

  Do yourself a favor and make a MAL or anilist account so that it's easier to track and share what anime you've watched. Your list will only grow, so the best time to start is now. Source: 6 months ago

• Why is nearly every anime rated close to 5 stars or at least over 4, do they not understand 2.5 is average? Just random generic, plotless isekais are here getting like 4.9... are you fr? Stop rating everything 5 stars that defeats the entire purpose.

• Best Danmei to start?

  Easiest way to find smut novels with plot and translation: go to novelupdates.com (you need to make a free account to get link access) and search for the 'smut' tag.

• What made you guys end up enjoying Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuanhuan novels?

  I got bored of "slow" updates on some isekai manga so I ended up finding novelupdates.com to read the light novel versions of them. Later on I ended up finding wuxia.

Also the stories are quite unique in that there's almost no end to the adventure so you'll always have some expectations on what's to come. Source: 5 months ago

• Hello, does anyone know the chinese version of The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride?

  P.S. I've just found out that there are many novels from different paid apps that are actually originally chinese. I don't know what's the deal about it. They only change the names of the characters and also the places. But sometimes, it doesn't just make sense. I usually read from novelupdates.com so I was surprised by it. Source: 8 months ago

• [REC] What are some of the best romance light novels?

  Personally, I've only gotten around to angel next door. If you are looking for a place to find more based on tags I would recommend novelupdates.com. Source: 11 months ago

• where do I post a translated novel?

  Novel translation community tends to dislike aggregator sites, so most novel groups host them themselves and link it in novelupdates.com . If you really don't want to spend money, google docs kind of works. Carrd is a little more time consuming but is pretty easy and free (with limitations). Source: 12 months ago
