I really like this feature but is it possible to add number of released chapters or last chapter released in result list?
My point is that when i search by rating, most of first results are series that have only a few, or even just one chapter released (which is probably the reason for high ratings - good first impression) even if that series was dropped by scanlators and not updated for a year or so.
I think a feature like that would be quite nice 🙂

There are a few minor problems with them though. If number of chapters scanlated, it could count all releases, so let's say you get 7 releases but all are different group scanlations of ch 1.
Last chapter release seems more viable since it's already implemented on the list...the problem would be when scanlators skip chapters.

but yeah that would be a problem 😐
but skipped chapters arent that bothersome since it means that the previous chapters are getting worked on so they might come out a few days later or in some cases a few months like samurai deeper kyo

Hmm..
So maybe something like that? Last Release "c.xx (yy days ago)"
This amount of information is already a big improvement, because even if its short but complete, there is (end) added to last release #.
If some chapters are skipped, the probability is high that those too will be released sooner or later.
But there is still problem with new releases of older chapters - HQ, fixed translation, different group, etc 🤢 so that too wouldnt be perfect, but it shouldnt be too annoying.

Or maybe just a sort by last release feature, so that you could either put those which have the newest releases at the top of the list, or the oldest if that's what you wanted. That way you could at least sort of tell if it is active with a scanlation group.
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
