What does your review score mean?

Scores are out of 10. We explain caveats (art inconsistency, translation quality, pacing issues) in the verdict rather than burying them in a sub-score.

Do you change scores after a series ends?

We add updates when a series reaches a significant milestone (completion, major arc end) that materially changes the recommendation.

Do you disclose free review copies or platform access?

Yes. When a publisher provides early access or a press account, we say so and still review on its own merits.

How many chapters do you read before reviewing?

Minimum 20+ chapters for ongoing series, or full completion for shorter series. We note how far we read at the start of every review.
