Personally, I just go stupid joining quests and then get surprised when I earn a badge because it's not that serious, and it's fun

I feel like quests have become just like lists and there is no real difference between the two except for who can make them and the rewards. The quests have become so long that they are overwhelming and discouraging. It is more of a 'if I need a recommendation list,' but I thought that was what lists were for. I thought lists were basically a place to go for recommendations and to list what you wanted to get through. Quests to me were something to work towards, but they are so long now that I have no hope in finishing any of them. Or I was close, and then they updated and now I'm at 17 percent. Quests was one of the things that drew me to PageBound and I still love it, but I have avoided that part of it because it is so discouraging and overwhelming to look at. Even Side Quests are a little daunting. If I compared this to an RPG, the quests would be more like achievements, and side quests would equal main quests. I'd love to hear thoughts.
Edit: Thank you for all the thoughts and comments. First of all, I didn't realize that main quest badges were given based on number of books read and the final badge was not based on reading 100 percent of the books. This makes me feel more like I can reach some of the higher badges. (Maybe 😅)
Second: I am a completionist and am focusing more on the percentage than the badges. I just want something to be completed! It lowers my anxiety. 🙃
