@olee92 said in Better discoverability needed search/reviews/user suggestions sorely needed.:
Even just allowing to order the list of novels by number of followers / readers would be a huge improvement imho and it would be something that could be added with little effort to the site.
I agree it could be a nice improvement.
Speaking as a programmer, though, be careful about throwing around bits like 'could be added with little effort'. Depending on how the site backend is put together, it might be easy... or it might involve Rube Goldberg-esque contortions to get the 'number of follows' information into a space where it can be used by the 'sort series' code.
Even without allowing to order the list by these numbers, just showing them on the results page / detail page would help a lot.
Again, it depends on how easy it is to access that information from the appropriate pages.
Sometimes the backend design makes that easy. Sometimes it isn't.
