I hoped to get this out on March 31, but I ran a few hours late, and that bumped into the monthly book ranking update (every month). Cue 30 hours of downloading updated book ranks.
Nothing significant released this week. I added a new Light Novels data point to the publishers page, since Viz threw off the numbers so much. Also, the publishers are now sorted by that data point. I also worked on automating Kodansha and Viz updates, that’ll pay dividends starting next week.
In the background, I’m working on the Genre and Tag feature update. It will setup a change from Genre/Tags to Top-Level Genres + Setting + Maturity Level + Themes + Tags. Initial release will be automatic conversion of all series with 100-250 of the top series converted, then further updates each week.
