I would love prettier / most interesting designs for the wrap-ups (both monthly and yearly). This year the goodreads year "wrapped" was prettier, more interesting, with some cool facts, in my opinion a bit better than storygraphs. I ended up sharing theirs online. The graphs on storygraph are cool and super interesting to navigate year round with a lot of information (which goodreads doesn't have), but the monthly and yearly wrapped designs on storygraph are not always that pretty / easy to share, or that visually appealing, in my opinion. Here are some of my goodreads year wrapped images of this year, compared to storygraphs, just to give an insigh on what I mean.

I recently passed 1,000 total books read, which was an exciting milestone! However, I was sad that my total number of books is now perpetually sitting at "1k" on my profile. It took 5+ years to reach this amount and I'd hate to have to go that long without seeing my progress along the way.

I mostly read digital editions. Every so often, I accidentally select the incorrect edition for the book I am reading, twice now I only noticed after the fact. Once I manually moved all the reading journal entries to the correct edition but it would be nice, if that could be done automatically somehow.

I really like the most/least shelved feature in the yearly wrapup, but would love even more if on a book's page you could see how many people have read it this calendar year and since publication. It would be really cool to see what else is more obscure or popular than I think it is!

I didn't find a post that covered this, so maybe I'm the only person who would benefit from this, but it would be great to be able to rate the quality of a translation! A bad translation can influence the experience so much.

My local library doesn't always have the physical versions of the original language, so I often find myself struggling to decide whether I will read the e-book in the original language or the translated physical book. And also, when I don't speak the original language, it can be hard to choose a translation without anything but my personal list of translators to avoid to go by. A star rating on Storygraph (either on the book page or the translator page) would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much for all the great work you do and I apologize if this has already been mentioned somewhere and I just didn't find it!

Audible doesn’t show the % progress, it only shows how much you have left. Instead of me having to do spreadsheet math to do the tracking, have a progress option for time left instead of how much listened to or %

I have been tracking reading goals since 2020 on The StoryGraph and when I want to access my archived challenges, I have to scroll for a few miles before I can see them. It would be much appreciated if the reading goals were collapsed and I could expand them if I wanted to see them.

I would love an option to see stats by an author, similar to being able to see stats specific to tag.

An opt-in for a limited communication to a challenge host, for a member to:

• flag a book for attention
• flag there is a missing entry

This limited form means Hosts can get some communication about Challenge issues, whilst also limiting the potential for excessive random messaging.

Use cases:

• Book Challenge is the set of books from an award, and a new award has been given and so the new book should be added to the challenge
• Book Challenges where the book is part of a set (such as an international award) but the wrong book has been selected
• Book Challenges where there was more than one entry for a year but only one entry for the year was included in the Challenge

In the absence of this, people just end up creating near identical challenges

For the archived challenges. It would be amazing if we still could search for them as it is a great resource to find books with very specific representation the content is already there generated by the users, please make it available ❤️

instead of percentage or hours and minutes being converted into decimals, the amount would be left as is

The Challenge Book sets are specific books, and it would be handy when looking over the cover thumbnails to see which ones you've read (whether with 'read' over them, or a tick mark, or a color highlight) before you add the Challenge

When I'm looking to add a book to my TBR or pick a book from my TBR to read next, I spend time looking at reviews.

If I see a review from FakeUserReadsBooks that's 5 stars, I'll often click FakeUserReadsBooks profile and see what else they've read and reviewed. Then I'll scroll for books we've both read to see if our ratings align. If we match in our liked and disliked books, there's a decent chance I'll agree with their take on this new book I'm considering.

I want to be able to go to FakeUserReadsBooks read books and filter to only show reviews for books I've also read.

On reddit I just saw a thread where people compared their 2025 mood maps and I saw that some had a second graph to see their mood map compared to that of their friends. I don't use the friend feature so I hadn't seen that yet, but it got me thinking that it would be interesting to see how my graph for 2025 compared to 2024. Of course, I can look at the 2024 wrap-up, but it would be convenient to see it right in the current wrap-up similar to the way it is to the friends mood map.

Edit: fixed some typos

I would love to see the platform adopt a more 'cute and aesthetic' vibe similar to PageBound or Fable. I'd love to have more ways to customize my profile, like changing my picture and adding a header image (think Twitter or Tumblr). Plus, choosing different color themes would be awesome for making it feel more personal and visually appealing.

I love the up next suggestions telling me the most and least shelved books on my TBR, is there a way to expose the entire sort order?

I'd love to be able to archive tags that aren't being used anymore without deleting them entirely. For example, I have a lot of tags that involve a year (e.g. 2023-challenges or 2025-non-xmen). I will not be actively adding those tags to books anymore, since the relevant year is over. I don't want to delete the tag permanently, because I still want to be able to look at the list and stats associated. But I would love for my tag list to be just a little less long when I'm applying NEW tags to books. I've got tbr-add-2025 and tbr-add-2025-01 through 12 for different purposes and it's going to get crowded once I started adding this year's list.

A few ideas for custom charts & tags

1. Segment by the lack of a tag
   2 Support for multiple tags in one section of a pie chart
2. The ability to apply a tag to multiple books at once, like a book selection when creating a new tag

As a cover collage with % read, like the monthly ratings collage

I think what I DNFed in a year is just as interesting a part of my reading journey as what moods I read

If you published the code on github or similar, I would consider helping address issues in the backlog. I bet other users who want to support you would, too.

I am going through my read books right now adding tags so that my custom charts will be up to date for my end of year reading write-up. Multiple times now, in trying to add tags (on desktop if it matters), I have accidentally deleted a tag instead. I'll have the box open like this, and I don't know exactly how I'm clicking wrong, but a tag will disappear unexpectedly. There's some UI lagginess on my end that may be contributing (I am not sure if this is an actual issue or just my own computer being slow, I did try it on two browsers with the same behavior but it could just be a problem with my wifi or something) but once the tag has disappeared, I have no way of knowing what I accidentally got rid of. I'd love for there to be a way for me to look at an edit history to recover these tags because for some of them like "rec-from-XXXX" there isn't a way for me to recover that info if I lose it.

When adding books on StoryGraph, I often run into issues with user added editions that already claim an ISBN but contain inaccurate or low quality data. Common problems include incorrect page counts, poorly chosen or low resolution cover images, or metadata that does not accurately reflect the actual edition.

Once an ISBN is associated with one of these user added editions, it becomes effectively locked. If a better or more accurate version of that same edition exists, there is no way for another user to correct it, clone it, or create an improved version using the same ISBN. This prevents proper edition tracking and results in long term data quality issues.

Feature Request

Please consider adding one or more of the following capabilities:

Allow trusted users or moderators to reassign an ISBN to a corrected edition.
Allow users to clone an existing user added edition and improve metadata, then submit it for review.
Allow ISBN recognition across editions so a corrected version can replace a poorly created one.
Add a flag or review process for inaccurate user added editions, especially when core metadata like cover image or page count is incorrect.

Value

This would significantly improve edition accuracy, reduce frustration for users who care about correct metadata, and improve overall data quality across the platform. It would also prevent early, low quality user submissions from permanently blocking accurate editions tied to the same ISBN.

Yay, I just saw the Question Bank is in Beta! Thank you ❤️

Once we're able to answer book Questions, I would love to be able to get a notification when a question is asked about a book I've read.

Alternatively, a book I own? Not sure about specifics, but I'd love to be part of the crowdsourcing.

Maybe we could also get an opportunity to answer questions immediately upon finishing a book!

I think it could be helpful - especially for longer challenges or ones with multiple prompts, to be able to pull a CSV of the challenge. When on the go, I find it easier to scan a list, versus going into each individual prompt to when trying to decide which to do next.

I would like to request improvements to the recommendation system, specifically how it connects recommendations to a user’s actual reading activity. At the moment, the books being recommended to me do not appear to meaningfully relate to the books I have already read, recently finished, rated, or even added to my TBR.

Even after completing the preference survey and actively maintaining my reading data, the recommendations feel disconnected from my demonstrated tastes. They do not seem to reflect patterns from my reading history, my recent reads, or the types of books I intentionally save to my TBR. As a result, the recommendations often feel random rather than personalized.

Because of this, I no longer rely on the recommendation feature and instead use reading challenges as a workaround to discover books, by exploring what other titles appear within those challenges. While that approach works to some extent, it highlights that the recommendation system itself is not functioning effectively for my use case.

It would greatly improve the experience if recommendations more clearly accounted for recent reads, highly rated books, recurring genres or tropes, and intentional TBR additions. Right now, there feels like a missing connection between my reading data and what is being suggested.
