I have been using Storygraph for about 4 years and I love it. It has so many good filters and options when you are looking for a book to read. Even the automatic recommendation engine is pretty good. I picked up quite a few books from there. I have never done that on goodreads.
Only thing I am missing from Goodreads are Author’s pages.
When you click on an author’s name on Storygraph, it just shows you their name and all their books in infinite scroll and in random order. Not even chronologically or alphabetically sorted, or even by series. No, nothing and you can’t change that. There is no photo of an author or their bio either.
I don’t like the website design much; feels like it runs on Electron or something, just not as snappy as the good old CSS of Goodreads. And their choice to implement AI stuff is annoying. But I’m happy they can be real competition for Amazon.
Yeah the author pages need work, as do the reviews/social aspect.
I completely forgot that there is some AI stuff on storygraph, because you can easily turn it off in settings and then you will never see it again.
But I get what you mean.

I really hope they view change that.
