A few tweaks about the Comedy challenge.
For the requirements of
  • Read a comedy that over 90k members have read
  • Read a comedy that under 20k members have read

Only 11 total manga (5 of them still releasing) have over 90k members and the other 6 have 12-74 volumes. I think this requirement should have the numbers lowered a little to better match it being a manga challenge.
For the requirements of
  • Read a comedy rated G
  • Read a comedy rated PG
  • Read a comedy rated PG-13

As far as I can see manga doesn't have ratings. Other possible requirement suggestions: A manga that was featured, A requirement involving how many Recommendations/Reviews it has, more genre mixing requirements? (comedy/sci-fi, comedy/supernatural, comedy/shounen, comedy/shoujo, etc.)

Quick edits: there's a [/center] by the title of the comedy challenge, it's not centered. Url is showing for Nakayoshi.

What's the stance going to be on light novels? The official manga challenge doesn't allow them but can we use them for challenges here? Personally, even if we don't allow them for normal challenges, I think it'd be cool to have a light novel specific challenge.

Also on that note what about manhwa and manhua? Will they count for any challenge that doesn't specify otherwise? Or will they only count for challenges that specifically allow them?

I think a challenge for light novels would be OK, but I don't think they should be allowed normally since the main doesn't. Manhwa and manhua are OK as long as the requirement doesn't specify otherwise.

Was just curious if the Comedy Challenge was going to be changed to be repeatable and allow already read for the first easy like romance and fantasy or is it going to stay the same as it is currently?

"Challenges should have a minimum total of 20 items to be completed"
Does 10+ for collections still work?

Ah! Yeah xD Though I warn ya, I don't plan to be updating any of those "list" type challenges o.O I feel it'd be harder with manga and I was already bad at it with anime XDDD

Updating is one of the less laborious jobs around the club, I guess. And manga gets newly translated even less often than anime, same with new manga series being made.

Hello, I think that the "Start date is the day you post" shouldn't be aplied to any manga challenge as manga are fewer, harder and slower to finish than anime.

I was doing a little pre-emptive planning and I noticed an issue with the numbers challenge for manga. The numbers challenge is meant to be done up to three times per number in order to get all 3 badges, but the "read a manga with # of members" criteria is still using the #1 = 10000-19999 member counts from the anime challenge.

At the 1-4 challenges we have now this is fine, but by the time you hit 8 there is only 5 manga that qualify and 9 only has 1, which means if you've read three of the qualifing manga for #8 (likely as they are in the top 10 manga in popularity) you can't finish the challenge 3 times and #9 you could never finish more than once (or 0 times if you've already read Deadman Wonderland).

I was thinking we should either lower the threshold to 1000-1999, 2000-2999, etc or even better just add those so you could use something with either 1000-1999 or 10000-19999 for challenge #1, etc.

Regarding the One-shot-Challenge:
If the one-shots are collected under one volume but it is clear, that they actually are one-shots (i.e. the three collected in Love Letter), do they count individually for the challenge? Or is it that only "Type: one-shot"s are allowed? I don't mean to trick the system here, but this seems like a grey area to me, because they aren't individually implemented into the db.

Because he's still an author of that manga. Manga by multiple authors count too.

Only the one-shot type. Collection of one-shots under one volume are anthologies and that's manga type.

That isn't always true, some manga are faster to finnish then anime. And only some challenges have "Start date is the day you post".

Hello! I was looking at The Historical Challenge and noticed these requirements:
  • Read a comedy that was featured
  • Read a comedy with over 5 reviews
  • Read a comedy with only 1 review

Is it supposed to be “historical manga” instead of “comedy”?
Also, what is “featured manga”? o - o Sorry, I’m confused

So the historical challenge has been fixed.

By featured we mean any manga that stared in a featured article on MAL such as this one: https://myanimelist.net/featured/1897/Top_10_Best_Shoujo_Managa_That_Havent_Been_Adapted_into_Anime

Hiya when it says the season you joined in, it just means the general season
So for you it would be winter of any year, I asked this question on the discord.

Hopefully that makes sense xx

Since it's only a webcomic that wasn't physically released like regular manhwa/manhua, no, you can only use entries that are in MAL database.

For the Shoujo-Ai challenge, there's one called "read a manhua". There's only one manhua tagged "yuri" or "shoujo-ai", and it's an on-going web comic that got partially published. Can something be done about that or do I need to read that particular manhua?

@abystoma2 Concerning the #XY-Challenges:


[*]Read a manga with 1 characters listed
[*]Read a manga with 1 character
For the last one: Is this correct or is it a typo and it means chapter instead of character? It appears before the volume one, so I am not sure which way it is meant to be.

Oh, of course you can use them as well. We just excluded them from the default search in case someone doesn't want to read any of those - let's call 'em NSFW-genres.

About the Shounen Ai Challenge. It says....

"Previously completed allowed only if you run out of translated manga for a certain requirement. Mark such entries in italics".

I am fairly confident that I can complete this...

"NOTE: This challenge can be attempted twice. For this you have to complete previous try. Your second try has to be in a new post, with new entries. You must not add anything to your first try (previous post) after completed. Doing this challenge twice will earn you a x2 Badge. The badge will be of the same series, except with two images alternating/flashing (could be a GIF)."

But it would be all previously read. Can I still do this challenge with my previously read?

@foxxykat1223 Well, technically you can turn it in twice if there aren't any shounen ai/yaoi-titles left for you (looking at your 2k completed titles, which surely won't be checked by us...*cough*). Just make sure you don't use the same manga as in your first post.
But... bakaupdates lists ~13.6k scanlated titles (DJs included, Oneshots excluded). You could take the hard road and look for titles you haven't read yet. If it's not added to the MAL-db, just link to the title on bakaupdates. ;)

My question is if I do 45 in one go do I complete all 3? Or do I have to do 15, 30, then 45. If I have to do the latter, I need to un-submit my turn in for it until I can rearrange it.
