Reading Preferences Divided For Fiction and Nonfiction
Sep 13, 2021
Hello! A suggestion I have is to divide the "the kind of books you like to read" section into one text box for fiction and one for nonfiction. There are some subjects that I'm only interested in in fiction (like "political intrigue" and "dreams"), and I think it would be nice to give the StoryGraph recommendation AI a way to know that.

I think separating it and then having more options for non-fiction specific book characteristics would be really helpful! I currently get hardly any non-fiction books in my recommended and those which are aren't really what I'm interested in.
r05i2_71828 If you want nonfiction books only, you use the filter menu on the recs page!
r05i2_71828 If the results aren't looking good when you filter by nonfiction, tweak what's in the free-text box to be your nonfiction preferences only! We've linked to guidelines on the "Edit Survey" page now which may be helpful to you filling them in.
We'll also be changing the survey soon in a way which will make it a lot easier for you to get nonfiction recs that you love!
Thank you for the suggestion! For now, we recommend storing your two sets of preferences in a note app, and then copying and pasting in which ones you're looking for at any given time!
We do have a lot of plans for the reading preferences survey section!
