    as days goes by more novel are getting translated. and my reading list keep growing.
    2 days before christmas i was down with terrible sickness, i cant even read on my pc or mobile since it will send my head spinning and make me crash back to my bed. it was only with great effort i finished ATG chapter of the day. which took me about an hour since i got to stop due to dizzyness.

    thus a few days later aka today, i'm perfectly recovered and only to find out the humongous chapters i've been missing since i fell sick. drudgingly i start reading the backlog one by one and hours later im still not even halfway done. I guess i can safely drop the less interesting title

    Sometime I stop reading things for a little while, but I usually end up picking them back up again when i've read all my 'main' updates and need something to read. It's much better to have things to read in comparison to having nothing you're interested in to read.

    well.... reading list was too much than what I can handle.. so most of the time I just prioritize which series I would like to read first and left the others for binge read later...

    exactly... since if I didn't do that I always forgot which series is this again and sometimes messed up the MC... *me and my short memory facepalm*

    If I had a grain of sand for every novel I have bookmarked so far, I would have created a second Sahara desert.

    I cull it every once in a while. I separate my list into 3 groups.

    1: Awesomesauce. Stuff I will read and continue to read cause they are awesome. Stuff like World of Cultivation, To Be A Virtuous Wife, and I Shall Seal The Heavens.

    2: Meh: Stuff that is ok, but I'll probably stop reading every once in a while so the chapters can stack up. Stuff like Otherworldly Evil Monarch, Limitless Sword God, and Transcending the Nine Heavens.

    3: No: Stuff that just got too stupid and I drop cause they got too stupid. Peerless Martial God, Martial God Asura, Against The Gods, The Legendary Thief, Swallowed Star, Inch of Radiance.

    I love to binge read, so all the bonus chapters for the holiday season were great. But if I am having trouble keeping up, or a story just feels like it is going too slow for me at the moment, but I'm still interested in it(ATG), I put them in a separate list I called 'Hiatus'. Then I ignore it for about 3 months, and later when I'm bored, I check on it. If any of the series I have on hiatus has added a minimum of 50 chapters, I think about that series and whether it's worth it. If it is, I read, if it's not, then I wait for it to hit 100 chapters since it went on hiatus. Anything less than these marks, continues getting ignored until it reaches that point or I can't wait any longer to find out what happened to the characters.

    From the start, my reading list is there so I could remember series that I've left for a long time. Series that I read daily/ right away after release is not much. And yes, for things like this you need to seek @Lachiel 's opinion. He probably got the longest reading list here

    It's my own mental list that kinda takes advantage of the site system. Basically, just check off the chapter you last read and ignore for list 2. Remove all checks if list 3, and just memorize the short list 1.
