    It does not.

    Only for read and unread. No personalization yet.

    I actually had to create so many lists, about 20, since i read so many genre and otherwise i would have trouble finding specific novels that fit my mood. I also added lists to save stories that maybe ill read in the future but not likely just because the plot may seen interested but may never be picked up or the story is ongoing at thousand of chapters being released.

    Too lazy so I sort them into:
    "Reading" - What I am currently reading
    "Dropped" - got too bad for me >.<
    "Waiting" - Haven't gotten to yet
    "Completed" - Finished translation/MTL
    "Don't touch with pole" - absolute garbage
    "Fujoshi" - was there but I am trying to cure my addiction >.<

    I plan to sort them into smaller groups if I/when I add more novels in the future. There are plenty more that I just made epubs and took home rather than read online so I didn't add them to the list.

    Better question: do you block public reading list and why?

    I tried, but it takes too much effort to update it, so it just falls apart after a bit.

    I actually needed to create a few custom lists. Some of the books I read have similar titles so without classification it's very difficult to identify them. Also, there's a whole bunch of novels whose titles sound great but turn out to be absolute crap.. and I definitely need to know which ones :sushi_chubby:
    I have: Reading Now (upto date and ongoing)
    Completed
    Stockpile (mostly complete novels for the future)
    Discarded (trash, or didn't have the patience for)
    Watchlist (premise interesting but too few chapters)

    Reading, Fully Translated, Translation Stalled, Planning to Start, Planning (Lo), Interested, Maybe (Lo), Dropped, Waiting for proper translation

    Anything I'm currently reading (unless it's fully translated) goes in the main reading list, including things that only have one chapter released but look good so far, or things I've temporarily stopped reading but haven't decided to drop completely. I should break that up further, but too lazy.
    Waiting for proper translation mostly means that it's currently being "translated", but it's just badly edited MTL or the quality is so low it's unreadable, so I'm hoping for a real translator to pick it up. There's also one case where the translation would be fine, but it's unreadable because it's locked behind an app.
    The rest is self-explanatory.

    Reading Now - Mostly filled with stuff I'm editing or really reading now.
    To Read List - Stuff I randomly found interesting and added on a whim. I've got maybe 50 items there and no real desire to read them atm...
    Ero List - For all ero stuff. Cause why the hell not? No Netorare stuff of course.
    Finished - For series I finished reading. If it's still being translated, then I probably read the MTL already.
    On Hold - Stuff I read, but not following religiously. Stuff I stock up on.
    Bad/Boring - Stuff I started reading and dropped for reasons. It could have been just bad (PMG, ATG, MGA), or just really boring (MEMORIZE).
    Korean - Cause this type was getting a bit too large, I just made a list for it. Because the amount of overall updates is rather small, this is the only one activated alongside Reading Now.
    Qidian - Same reason as the Korean list.

    Out of all these lists, only Reading Now and Korean is activated. Everything else is hidden from the main page.

    Default: what I'm actively reading.
    Hiatus: stories I'm putting on hiatus because it's currently in the middle of an arc I think is bad and boring (coughmasterteacherexaminLOHP) and I'm waiting for the next arc to start so I can just tear through the bad arc in one sitting before moving back into my active reading list.
    Watchlist: stories I am interested in starting but have yet to start reading, either because I have enough on my plate, or because I want a backlog of chapters to read so I can get a feel for if it's worth keeping up wtih, or because they're short enough (>100 chapters) I could do it in one sitting, so I'm waiting for them to finish TLing in their entirety.
    Complete: completely TL'd stories that I have read, but like enough to keep them catalogued to reread them again if the mood hits me.

    Basically, I only actively check my default reading list daily, I check the Hiatus list once a month to see where those stories are at, and I check the Watchlist once in a blue moon when I remember to.

    Shame and embarrassment obviously, my dude.

    I group my reading list with nothing, because if I forget whatever novel I was reading, then it's a no for me.

    Basically it, but if I do like a novel I read, I keep it on a tab on my phone, there's like... over 60+ chrome tabs on my phone... Would be bad if it was uninstalled.. ugh
