Browsing through some ratings I’ve noticed several people contradict (at least to me) as far as what their comment says and what rating they give. For instance there are some comments that say that the manga is average and give it and 8, and other saying that manga was very good and give it a 7. I’m thinking that it is pretty natural for people to understand the meaning of rank numbers in a different way, but it kinda messes up the ratings itself. So why not use words instead of numbers?

(example)

Excellent
Very Good
Good
Decent
Average
Not that good
Bad
Very bad
Terrible
Worse ever

You can still use number to calculate the average, but it won’t be visible to users. Just a thought.

Perhaps. It may work out better that way... I'll put it on my list.
