      Issue:
      Sometimes I see a good series on the catch up list but don't get the time to read it during the month is open.

      Suggestion:
      Is it possible to have a functionality to actually select or at least vote for the catch up series, if not for free user for premium or something similar like each month you get 1 catchup credit to select one series / manga ?

      Another issue that I have notice in general I think catchup should be to series that are being actively being release sometimes you start a catch up of a series that was dropped :/

        what I find myself doing is using my premium credits when I get behind in an ongoing series (I missed the last volume of Spirit Chronicles - life just got in the way of keeping up with everything I wanted to) anyway - if you are a premium member - you get banked 12 credits a year

        but, yea more benefits are always better- so why not "you pick a catch up"? well I can think of several reasons why JNC wouldn't want to do this from a business perspective. Catch ups are often seasonal (i.e. 'spooky' for Halloween etc.) or as a way to market a new release, or to get exposure to a series that maybe isn't selling well (the 'back' catalog) and also the elephant in the room - if there is a demand for a particular series, that would be a series they want to sell vs 'giving away' , JNC is a business and 'pick your own catch up' or 'catch up by vote' would effectively be eliminating a profit center. I want JNC to prosper, so that they can acquire more titles, some of which I'd like

        I read banned books

          Yes that's usually what I do, I expend credits for series that I can actually catch up. Don't take me wrong I know we cannot like catch up all series we want but a catch up should not mean like having the whole series open free to latest chapter but for example if we have like a very long series some times that is a blocker to actually buy it or at least for me, but if for example we can catch up till a point where we can keep buying the remaining volumes maybe it could make more sense.
