    Just some feedback. If you put a nonexistent parameter, for example, rating 1 (max). Apparently it doesn't exist and you're only directed to the same page back instead of getting a no result message, this possibly confuses some people as to why there's no result coming out. People may think that it's not working and with so many combinations, the chances of inputting nonexistent parameters are high. So, I'm suggesting a it'll be better to have a "Sorry, results not found!" or something similar.

    Oops, that's my fault then. I don't use the dark theme so I don't notice these stuff unless it gets reported. Anyways, can you try again? I fixed the dark theme text

    ticking multiple genre return 0 results
    imho, the AND/OR switch are needed at the genre too

    what i did;

    ticking Wuxia, Xianxia, Xuanhuan
    tags Modern Day (OR)

    ticking Wuxia, Xianxia, Xuanhuan
    tags Modern Day (AND)

    Thank you very much. I especially like the AND tag search. The ability to search for series that haven't been updated recently will certainly make things easier for translators.

    @Tony ,on the mobile version of the Series Finder (dunno if it's the same on desktop version too) there are two fields of selection under the 'Tag' category with no notations on what they do (which I believe the first one is 'include' and the second one is 'exclude')
    It would be less confusing if they were labeled

    Edit:
    Forgot to make a little suggestion...
    Maybe make a the 'Tag' selection a bit more complex?
    I sometimes want to make some complex tag selections like for example
    "Reincarnation" and ("Skill Books"&"another tag" or "Skill Steal")
    Or something similar? It's easier to do so with one search as the complexity rise's to exclude repeated answers
