I absolutely love StoryGraph and use it more days than not. I think I've used most of its features, but I've never used tags or created custom graphs (even though I have a Plus subscription). And since there isn't a forum... I didn't know where else to ask and thought maybe someone coming across this post can guide me to some ideas for how I could utilize the custom graph feature.

I tag differently depending on genre; for example with romance I tag for the professions of the main characters, and have a custom graph to see the spread across all the romance books I read. Surprisingly (but fantastically), book-centric jobs are very common in contemporary romance! Lots of book store owners and public librarians. I also tag for tropes, and most things that romance.io tags. I also love my graph of relationship histories (enemies to lovers, second chance, childhood friends, etc). Lastly, I have a graph for who recommended books to me.
Thank you so mıuch everyone. These are great. I already created 6 charts and I'll continue playing around with tags. I love it. I also loved the "queer or boring" chart in the TSG instagram stories lol.
My custom charts:
It's a LOT of tag management, but I really like the charts!!
I have bar graphs for page and audio book length broken down into smaller increments of 100 pages or one hour. I also track where the book is from (owned/borrowed from a friend /library) in a fun little pie chart and author nationality (I track country and continent) in a bar chart although this gets a little unmanageable if there's a lot of countries. I've seen other people track what year they bought the book (if they own it) and gender of the author.
If be interested to hear other ideas if anyone does anything differently!
