  • How long can you read in one sitting?

    In one sitting, I can usually read for one to two hours. Then I need a break to stretch, eat, or do something else for a bit. If I push myself to read any longer, I start to feel mentally drained and lose interest in the story 🫢🤣 How about you? Maybe you're a hard (stronger) reader compared to me 😆

  • The Chain
    Is this book worth reading?

    I'm at about 25% and I could finish it no problem, because the chapters are short and it makes the book a fast read.

    On the other hand however, I find myself constantly frustrated with characters' actions and how everything plays out - they seem to be a-ok every time just by pure luck to be honest.

    I also don't like the way it's written, is it the author's debiut novel?

    Anyway, I just want someone who finished it to tell me if I should read it or just DNF it.

  • Community Feedback Requested: Upvotes/Downvotes vs Likes

    Hi everyone, we're considering making quite a big change to Pagebound and want to get the community's opinion - please leave your feedback here!

    We have debated for a long while the merits of upvotes/downvotes vs a pure "like" system. We deeply believe in community moderation and community curation, and felt that an upvote/downvote system would provide the tooling for such community moderation.

    In practice, we've also seen a lot of downsides with this system. While there's no guidance for how to use downvotes, many people use it as a "disagree" button which can make people with unpopular opinions feel unwelcome to share their opinion (for example, if you share that you dislike a beloved character, you may receive downvotes).

    Moving to a "likes" only system would hopefully foster an environment where opinions are discussed rather than silently judged, and people are less anxious to engage in the forums.

    In the past there have been some very strong opinions both for and against downvotes - let us know what you think below
