A way to keep track of currently reading series
-
There should be a way of keeping track of the series I'm currently reading and where I am in them. As I read more and more stuff from J-Novel Club I start to forget where I am in various books, or also to be notified when a volume starts releasing new chapters. Is there any way this could get added?
-
I agree having a tracking function on the site would be helpful, but for now you can keep track in the app.
Opening the app and seeing where I left off on a particular series doesn’t take much.
They will be overhauling the website so maybe a tracker will be part of the future upgrades, as for a notification system it has been brought up before and although I wouldn’t benefit from it at all others probably will...
Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

I don't read on my phone (unless on break at work). I use the website so an app isn't helpful.
-
Well, last year I requested it as well, but it seems it will take a (very long) while for it to get implemented.
As far as I can see from this site's API, the structure is a bit haphazard, so it will need an overhaul first. -
I'd really like for this to be a built in feature too. :)
I actually use Google Keep with each short tag for a series and the last volume/part read -- the app sometimes forgets where I am too, so it's helpful. <_<
For notifications, the links in tgquan67's sig work great with https://feed43.com/ (if you like RSS).
-
That link also provide proper RSS feed at the bottom of the page, so you can use without dealing with grabbing data from HTML.

... yeah, that's way easier. ^_^; Thanks!

I would love a tracker and notification function too! An email notification would be preferred for me for sure! (Once a day if per release is too much strain on their servers) I'll probably forget about the manga I am reading, then remember in a month and have no idea where I was up to lol.
EDIT - Also just got the app.... Doesn't seem to have any Manga on there, so I can't even use that to keep track of that. RIP.

@the-one-demon the manga is in their app for me, but I'm an Android user signed up for betas so it might be different for others.

@the-one-demon if you use iOS, then I recommend signing up for the beta app. You can find info about that here: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/2364/a-way-to-keep-track-of-currently-reading-series

Thank you guys! I'm on Android and signed up to the beta and there's a button to go to Manga. Pretty sure it wasn't there before lol.
EDIT - Unfortunately no kind of tracking for Manga... Might try Google Keep. If only trackr.moe was compatible with the site.
-
I'd love to be able to follow selected series, or even just a history button would be good so I can see what series I have read before.
-
With the addition of so many new series it is getting harder to scroll through to find the series you are reading. It would be great to have a tab to keep track of the series you are reading and where you have last left off.
-
Easy solution: Read everything. I will admit though, with the number of new titles getting added, that is starting to be quite a challenge. Kind of like watching all the anime released in a season. Although the quality level here is much higher.
Edit to add: Currently, I've got a backlog of 24 parts to read, with more getting added every day.
