Hi! As one of the items in my challenge list, I got this:

(78) Read a manga recommended to you by a challenge staff member

I was wondering how I should go about contacting a staff member for this or if one passes by here, if I could get a recommendation, please!

I'm sorry if the question is stupid, but am I allowed to increase difficulty mid challenge (or perhaps post completion, if I complete Newbie faster than I thought)? If so, should I just edit the post?

Mid challenge, yes; Post completion, no. :P
(Technically post-completion, yes, before you turn-in your form)

"Confirm all items/details are correct before posting. Once you turn-in your challenge, you can't continue working on it, but you may edit the post to correct information."
Oh, so I can edit the form and add other items, as long as I follow the right number os items. Thanks.

Yes! As long as you don't turn-in your challenge, you can add more items to fit the next difficulty, but once you do, the editing part refers only to correct mistakes in the form. :)
Hope it's understandable. :P

Selecting a difficulty.

I'm not an avid manga reader, having only finished 17 entries, so I leaning towards the easiest difficulty, however, I'm crazy.

My question is if I want to be flexible with the difficulty seeing how the year goes, would it be easier to do lower difficulty and work my way up or go for the hardest difficulty and work my way down, despite the different number of entries for each tier as yoy change difficulties.

It depends on what you feel is easier for you. I have a tough time adding to a task once I feel it's complete, but I understand how some people might find that fulfilling, taking it in incremental steps and accomplishing small goals. For me, it's easier to set my eyes on the highest goal then settle by simply erasing stuff from my list. Also note that if you use the lowest difficulty than try to add on, you're going to have to delete stuff or change the categories for stuff you've currently read, essentially repurosing the manga you've read into different categories and some might simply not work because of how the tier system is designed.

the easiest has 15 works in tier 1 and only 1 in tier 3. The hardest only has 5 tier 1 categories and 30 tier 3 categories, so you'd have to find new categories for 10 of the things that'd you'd previously read + read more. I think it'd be easier to re-assign going in the opposite direction. Finding stuff that you used for the narrower tier 3 categories that fit in the less narrow tier 1 or 2 categories. than trying to go from broad to narrow because you upped the difficulty significantly.

I wasn't thinking about it being eaisier to reassign down, especially since I hadn't read the entries yet. :/ But I did read the rules, about the the number of different tiers for the different entries at different levels.

Looks like going high then coming down low seems to be the best choice.

Thank you verh much.

Yeah, I don't think it was entirely thought through to cater to people stepping up difficulty incrementally. I think for next year it'd be better if tier 1 categories were to be more compulsory(less choices/fulfill more of them) for all the difficulty levels than it being thought of as just lesser.

My reasoning behind it was tier 1: sort of entry level, people with little knowledge of manga as a sphere and I figured that people going for a higher difficulty might find those boring or too easy/already have read a lot of that but the system can definitely be tweaked in the future to keep in mind this perspecting of increasing up difficulty

@Scarlett_ryuken I'm starting to consider recruiting you for the staff with how helpful you've been

@Shineee_ well, the MAL DB doesn't have any note on it being based on a real event, but baka-updates does, so sure, it counts. As for the featured manga, yes just link to the article/list in which it was mentioned.
