    Hello, long time lurker on this site here. I was wondering if it would be possible to sort series by their status in their country of origin to see if they were dropped, on hiatus, completed, or ongoing. I feel this could help readers narrow down which novels they want to start reading based upon their status in coo, so they don't keep seeing promising novels that have been axed, may not be finished, and find ones where they know there will be a chance in the future for it to be translated completely. Please let me know if this is impractical or unreasonable.

    Thank you,
    Your neighborhood Novel Whore

    Rather than sort (since it wouldn't work), I think there should be field - "Exclude COO Status: Ongoing, Hiatus, Dropped/Axed, Completed".
    Unfortunately, I'm not sure how straining it would be to check all COO fields for these words during search. Perhaps COO would have to be split into separate fields - one for status and another one with the chapter/volume count...
    I guess @Tony would have to answer that.

    In the series finder. There is a completely translated button in which you can tick. It will only show completely translated or dropped series if you do.

    He's talking about status in country of origin, e.g. China, Japan or Korea, not about the translation status...

    There's no set COO format. so doing something like that would be impossible as it's currently set up. ofc @Tony could change that.
