    This is kind of not a bug; so its a request... but basically, when I've ticked a novel to show I've read that chapter, then a few days later that novel has had 2+ releases, you have a slight issue that the Reading List doesn't show the next chapter you're supposed to read.

    It shows the last one you read, and the latest one released, but neither of these are the ones I wish to click on, so I have to go into the individual novels page and find the next release and click that.

    This is also an issue when you start reading a novel that has an established chunk of chapters (lets say 100; you start reading it up to say 25 and come back the next day to pick up where you left off~ I want start at 26 in this case, but in the Reading list, I can now only click 25 or 100).

    Not critical, but it's annoying extra clicks, so could there could perhaps be a 'next chapter' column tucked in the middle? It could use a simple (LAST TICKED + 1) logic, right? (though admittedly that could cause problems when multiple translations exist).

    I guess the whole thing could be subverted by getting into the habit of only ticking the last but one chapter; but in that case, the "I've read the latest chapter!" button needs to be also revised with that logic, since I use that all the time.

    That's why you have the [Book] icon on your reading list aka "Show me chapters I haven't read!", which opens a popup with link to the last read chapter + 3 next releases.

    Meh, you get used to the weird design decisions after a while.

    I wish that book icon can show a little number that highlight more than 1 release difference thatn the chapter you have read.
