Minor - remove pace for “daily’s”

I read 3 books daily that have a different entry for each day (part of my morning routine). They are all listed as “fast paced” which is kind of nonsensical for a book intended to be read one entry per day over a year.

I suspect this is because people enter their reading of these books once and the system calculates that they read the entire book in a single day.

Might be hard to figure this out, but I suspect there is a power law curve for these daily readers - like the top 50 of them account for 99% of the daily entry type books that readers here consume.

As a side note, could also auto-increment daily readers by around .28% points per day since they are intended to be read over a year.

The pace has nothing to do with how fast anybody reads the book. It's about how quickly the content/story in the book moves. So you can have a short fast-paced book, but you could also have a much longer book, with twists and turns on every page, or all of the information given to you in super short digestible pieces.

Ah got it! I misunderstood. Thought it was an objective measure based on reading time vs. subjective measure.
