Anytime beat out never. Now that surprised me
This week's poll (suggested by 8-3) is a follow-up to a poll from a couple of weeks ago. Is it ever okay to not worry about spoilers? And of so, at what point is it okay?

This week's poll was suggested by Crowned_Cumber. Do you plan on rereading your favorite series? Personally, I probably wouldn't. I practically never rewatch movies unless someone else chose the movie we'd watch. And all these activities I do by myself, I probably would never repeat them regardless of how much I like them. That applies to most books, single player video games, etc.

It would not be like watching Bob Ross

Most are on the fence, but it seems more people think authors will improve
This week's poll is from iamssjvash. Do you think that an author's latter series are better than their first series?

This week's poll was suggested by Nekomikoto. Some scanlations have translator notes that include URL's in them. They're normally about some little known tidbit. Do you ever use those URLs?

Nostalgia factor

Looks like it's split down the middle in the kill or be killed
This week's poll was suggested by Desert. It's a what-if question about how you'd act to your favorite character if their goal was to kill you, and failure meant their own death

Gotta rope you in with that first chapter! It's like how the opening sentence of the book needs to grab the attention of the reader.
