System Collapse (The Murderbot Diaries, #7)

ehawley commented on a post from the Founder Announcements forum
Hi everyone, we have some community updates to share. Pagebound has grown significantly since the app launched in October, and to support this larger group we're revamping our Quest creation and community recognition programs.
We have decided to sunset the Top Contributor program. We started the program in the early days of Pagebound to recognize active community members and help build the culture. TC's created Quests, welcomed new users, answered questions, and helped us behind the scenes with beta testing, user interviews, and feedback. We are so grateful to the 80+ TC's who were crucial in helping shape the platform & culture as we built the v1 of so many features.
To make Quest creation and community recognition more democratic and community-oriented, we will have two paths for Quest creation:
We will have more details on this new program when voting nears :)
Editing to add: Former members of the Top Contributor program who had Quests in-progress will be able to release those Quests. We have not put a time limit on this since curating a Quest takes a ton of work, and many hours have already been invested in these Quests. You'll continue to see some final Quests created by former TCs be released over the next months.
App + Product Updates The Discover People section got an upgrade: at the top, you'll see a Featured My Taste book that rotates daily, similar to the Featured Emoji. We highlight active users with that book in their My Taste section
We also fixed some small edge-case bugs related to progress updates + tracking. Reminder: you need to track your progress to see daily pages/minutes updated in your stats! So if you start & finish a book in the same day, you'll need to track progress still to see that graph updated (this is because there are some folks who don't track daily, and if we auto-tracked, stats would look very incorrect).
Thank you everyone for keeping this community thriving, PB wouldn't be what it is today without everyone's support & engagement. We can't wait to recognize new community members with these new initiatives, and are so excited to see what Quests y'all cook up. And of course, a special thank you to our Top Contributors who invested so much of their free time, love, and energy into this community. A round of applause for the (retired) TCs ššš
Happy Reading, Jennifer + Lucy šš

Alright, murder mystery murderbot!
I was very confused at the beginning of this story about what was going on, and having started System Collapse which is chronologically following Network Effect, I'm annoyed I missed the memo to read this one before Network Effect.
I liked learning more about the Preservation world and that it still is very human despite its relative progressiveness compared to the Corporate worlds. MB was definitely subdued in this one, but it also let us look at what it was like back in the day for MB working the corporate contracts. I always enjoy MB charming people with its security zealotry.
Realizing I will soon reach the end of MB content... š„¹
