a 10/10 is something i'd happily experience again, or something i feel nostalgia for
a 9/10 is a 10 with noticeable flaws
an 8/10 is an exemplary 7. great!
a 7/10 is what i rate most things. good, but not great.
a 6/10 is a 7 with noticeable flaws, or a 5 that has some redeeming qualities
a 5/10 is an experience i kinda regret. like it was fine but that's at least 5 hours of my life gone. sometimes I continue reading 5s but it's not like I actually expect them to go anywhere or that I'll remember much about them in three months. they are, quite literally, just fine.

i usually dont rate lower than 5/10 because if i chose to watch/read it through then it's at least okay. and if i drop it, it's probably because i didnt have time to watch/read it or i've got some prejudices about it. or it's just really bad

i'm a little stingier with manga ratings because the art/audio can't win me over as well as anime and there's little nostalgia factor, but i also tend to read more manga nowadays so it's a bit more accurate to my tastes

i've watched anime regularly since the late 2000s (and read manga since ~2016/17) so a lot of early 2000s shows i've missed and a lot of 2008-2014 shows i hold in dear regard. that's why i'll rate something like to love ru a 10 despite it being objectively *not* a masterpiece (and realistically closer to a 6.5 or 7).
i also have a heavy bias towards isekai, not in terms of rating, just in terms of the volume of isekai media that i consume. love fantasy settings.

honorable mention for manga favorites:
A Pervert's Daily Life. It is pornographic but the first arc is really nice
Death Flags' webnovel version. I've only read that so the LN isn't tracked in MAL

manga that I really like and I wish deserved a higher ranking but oh my god they don't:
Bad Ending Maker
Ending Maker
Netoge no Yome ga Ninki Idol datta...
Chounin A wa Akuyaku Reijou wo Doushitemo Sukuitai...
Pick Me Up!
Teisou Gyakuten Sekai no Doutei Henkyou Ryoushu Kishi
Demon King of the Royal Class
Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraita kedo, Naze ka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken

it's a little ironic that i have komekko as my profile picture because i did not like volume 11 of konosuba
i think volumes 10-14 were kinda weak compared to the rest of em but i love the series to bits
