Yes, it was poorly worded. Oh well. Our system for the site-wide polls makes it incredibly difficult to correct anything wrong with a poll

We should add an option: Anytime anywhere whenever I have time.

I'm a night owl, so I picked "late at night", but evening isn't uncommon for me either.

Evenings because of wörk, and that extends to weekends/days off, where I would rather do something else and read in the evenings.

Morning, I like to stare at my phone for awhile before dragging myself out of bed.

I prefer to do it in the morning right after i wake up... But quite often i do it late night, but I would prefer if i had better force of will...

I feel like this is definitely a poll that needs the other option...

So whenever something on my list updates.

Agree

True.

Because of work, I can only read at evening or late at night. But on my day off, I definitely would spent my day binge reading any series I left out.

Personally, I don't have a preferred time. I can read in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening or late at night. I'd say when I have time or I'm in the mood.

Or both: mood during free time xd

Mostly whenever I'm wide awake enough to be in the mood to do so. My sleeping schedule is all over the place so that's either evening or late at night, depending on the time.

need another box to check off "all of the above/ whenever i get a chance".

There should be dawn/after just waking up in the morning.

I usually read manga or any other literature very seriously at dawn. This is the best time for me.

Or before sleep, that is late at night.

I have been travelling around the world since 3 in five continents. My target is to travel to North and South Pole respectively. I love Japan and its culture the most, that's why I'm here. I hate the Western toxic f. culture where you are hated for being just existing... Now, retiring for life and enjoying life disconnected from modern world ~

I don't have an actual preference on when to read. However, I check for new updates all day every day, which means that the only time I have an 8 hour backlog, and therefore the time I read the most manga per day (and also, now that I live on the west coast, when Jump's official translations release--I think it was like noon on the east coast) is the morning.

So I picked morning, but the real answer is "when it releases".
