How do you keep track of H-manga and doujinshi?

So MAL contains mostly non-H material in its database, and it works brilliantly for that, no doubt.

However, there are a lot of H-manga and doujinshi that aren't in MAL's database, so you're unable to track them (add them to your list, rate them, etc).

What I normally do is I just bookmark the H-manga/doujinshi on the site that I read them on (I use Tsumino), but I always have the fear in the back of my head that the site will get shut down someday, and all my bookmarks would disappear with it.

So essentially, I'm looking for a more permanent solution to keep track of all the H-manga and doujinshi I've read. Because H-manga and doujinshi are generally shorter than regular manga, you tend to go through more of them quicker, and their numbers start to add up, and I just feel the need to keep track of them all.

Anyone got any suggestions?

I feel your pain. I make a blog post on MAL to log all the h-doujinshi that I've read that aren't here. Sometimes if I feel the title is really popular and has received a tankoubon I'll search it up months later and it'll have been added to the database. A lot of it won't, though.

You could also just make a microsoft excel document and list em all w/ ratings, captions, etc.

manga updates doesn't use MAL's rules so they have a lot more (example: webcomic and many series doujin). i normally log my stuff there.

The excel option seems to be the one I'm leaning towards. It does sound a bit tedious though, since I can read through H-manga and doujinshi rather quickly, so I'll have to constantly update it.

I did take a look there, and they do have a lot of the big H-manga authors in its database. However, they don't always list all of their works, so I don't know how to reconcile that.

You take your future into your own hands and actually add these titles to the database. I've probably added over a hundred at this point.

I've already given up on counting it when my 4 kilobytes notepad list were encrypted ad infinitum.
