Library
Everything about a work starts on this page.
The work page is the center of the Library. Facts, ratings, your editions and progress, series and adaptations, Wiki, and discussions appear in the order you need while reading.
Eight sections
Eight sections, from top to bottom.
Sections that do not apply to a kind are omitted. The order and links for the rest stay the same.

Your editions and where to get them
Your selected edition appears first, followed by matching editions and a complete list with pagination.
The Japanese original and Traditional Chinese and English translations each name their translator.
Volumes and relations
The next unread part comes first, followed by the volumes in order, then sequels and adaptations. Publication order and recommended reading order are separate.
The main series, New Testament, and Genesis Testament are linked as sequels.
Explore the Wiki
See key characters, credits, and a timeline or chapter guide limited by your progress, with links to Wiki pages.
At volume 5, the timeline stops at volume 5.
Ratings and reviews
See score distributions and counts, along with each question, rater, and subject. Filter by edition or review language. You can write a review without rating the work.
Ratings for the story and a translation are separate.
Discussions and communities
The work, each volume, and each edition have their own discussions. You do not have to join a community to read them.
To discuss volume 5, open the discussion beside it.
Lists and discovery
Lists that include the work and reading orders each give a reason. Identifiers, sources, and revision history follow below.
A light novel starter list explains why it includes the work.
Primary action
There is one primary action at the top.
The button depends on your relationship to the work. Follow and add to list are separate actions.

The button says “Choose an edition.”

On phones, the cover becomes a small image beside the title. The identity, edition, status, and action all fit on the first screen.
Ratings
The subject of each rating appears beside its score.
Readers of the original rate the story, translation readers can rate the translation, and audiobook listeners can rate the narration.
What is rated
Rate the story, translation, and narration separately, without combining them into one score.
Who the average represents
Each average says whose ratings it includes: everyone, a community you joined, or another community.
Series and volumes
Ratings for the series and each volume are separate.

Suggest a correction for review
Facts, relations, titles, and aliases. Every proposal includes a source and is applied after human review.
The language of the interface, title, and edition are separate.
Changing the interface to English does not change the Traditional Chinese translation you read. A title translated into Chinese does not mean a Chinese edition exists. Reviews also show the language they were written in.
