Character tracker

Some books have so many characters, and I haven't found a great way to keep track of them all. I'd love a character tracker feature for Storygraph, with options for description of the character and plot points involving the character!

I like this idea! Maybe as part of the reading log separate to reviews? Or have an option where you can 'add a note' to also add information to like a little encyclopedia for that book? that could allow you to add characters, you could also add quotes from the book or something and then when you click on reading log or review for the book you can click on "My Encylopedia" or something to see this information again?

The Encylopedia could be freeform if that's easier, but if you were to make sections I would want:

  • character tracking
  • quotes
  • general synopsis
  • a free-writing section for people who want to write about other things they don't want to forget (like details of setting or a magic system or something).

At the moment I realise we could just put this in 'reading notes', but it would be cool to have it collate characters with characters, quotes with quotes etc. and not just be under the day we updated it.

Feels like kind of a big ask though, so it would be cool to have any part of this! (Alternatively, a separate 'synopsis' section in the review page could also be cool to have a dedicated place to summarise things after finishing a book. At the moment I just put it in with my thoughts, which works fine, but it could a cool little extra!)

rogankeira I love all these ideas!! I'd love a way to add notes without having to update our progress, and, of course, to categorize them (by character, quotes, etc.)! But I agree, it does seem like a big ask...
