    If you are adding up the novels i have already left for new chapters to be released or i am taking a break from them then it would be around 15 and if you also add the different fanfics or novels i have in others apps then 25 at least and if the manga are also added then basically around 50+:blobthinkingsmirk:

    1<5, after going back to reading various manga and watching anime again, I don't read novels that much anymore compared before when I had to stop reading manga and watching anime. But if there's a hot manga or a hot anime adaptation, then I'll probably read its novel counterpart if I can't quench my thirst.

    Depends on how I count them really, probably about 3 or 4 that I read actively, and maybe up to a dozen that I read irregularly.
    There is at least as many that I'm following though that either is translated very slowly or is dropped by the translators entirely.

    Mtl. It gets pretty easy once you adapt. You can understand 90% what is being expressed when get real good at it. And there is plenty a good stuff to read, so there's truly no need for translators to poach projects.

    Lets see...

    20-25 in the reading list.
    Another 30 in the "on hold"-list after binge-reading, catching up, getting burnt out, stocking up chapters and then not really getting back to reading them or translator went on hiatus/missing.
    50+ in the "planning to read someday"-list

    Reallistically speaking, I only have time and energy to actively read 5-10 different novels daily/weekly at most. No more than that unless being on holiday or something.

    Too many to count since because there are only not too many completed series that I finished reading and the rest are still waiting for daily updates or weekly updates, or monthly updates and yearly updates.

    Well my reading list has 4 tabs for reading, 1 tab for completed/dropped titles and 1 for TL project.

    2 tabs for Japanese, one is General and the other is for Isekai troupes.
    1 tab for Korean works & 1 tab for Chinese works.

    As for why I keep completed & dropped in the same tab. Sometimes I forgot I read a story, if I don't see it in that dropped/completed tab, I would probably read it again only to be like deja vu.

    - For one thing, I dropped a title for a reason, even if I forgot that reason.
    - And two, since I completed reading a story, I just use it as reference (Only read chapters I feel like reading)

    5 something, mostly danmei/fast-wear novels. For stuff that i genuinely like, i let the chapters stack and check updates very rarely so that i can binge read them.

    Depends on what you count as reading.
    There's practically nothing that I read as soon as there's a new chapter, I can't keep up. I'll start reading and be totally confused. My memory is terrible so what I do is wait for a good amount of chapters (a few months give or take) and then reread the whole thing. Rinse and repeat. Eventually, after I've reread a few times I'm able to pick up where I've left off. Sometimes I'll still let a few chapters stack to avoid cliff hangers. If the novel is completed I binge it though aha

    i actually lost count...but there are some which update daily..so i remember at least 6-10 novels i am currently reading daily

    while others, there are some with weekly update and monthly ones but most of them i wait till it is 10 or more chapters after the last time i read them...since i tend to forget the previous chapter story orz

    I picked 6-10. These are the number of novels that I keep up with the new release, whether it is daily, weekly or so.

    The others are left in an indefinite stacking list.
