Question to community: Series Increment Buttons, (+10, -5) vs (+5, -1)?

Hi all,
We've had some requests to reduce the size of the list increment options, so we did so. But that caused others to complain.
What do you think we should have instead?
Thanks!

I prefer "+5, -1" from these two but why not "+10, +5, -5, -1" at least for desktop?

Strong preference for how it was before (+10 -5), especially on mobile where using the typing option can be awkward
Thanks for fixing it so we can click multiple times in quick succession again though. It was kind of awkward to use when you needed to wait for it to sync between clicks.

Please go back to the old way. I know it's not much but it is a bit more fun and efficient for me as it takes me a while to get back to something I'm reading and its grown more than 10 chapters usually. (the "fun" for me is to see how few clicks it takes to get the new number from the old. e.g. 58 > 93. 5 clicks. four +10 and one -5)

I really, really like having the -1 button, and the +5 is also very useful, but I miss having the +10 button, so rather than choosing between them, I'd prefer if the +10 and -5 get added back in and we just have more options.
Now that we can edit it on the manga/manhwa page, for increments of 10+ I can just type in the number, so if you twisted my arm and made me pick between the new way and the old way, I'd pick the new one, but I do definitely miss the ease of +10 when binge reading.

I'm used to the old way, but I'm sure I'll be able to get used to the new way given time. The -1 in particular is especially useful.
I guess if I had to pick, I'd want +10, -5, -1, since I don't find the +5 very useful if the +10 and -5 comes back.
10 is a good increment but -1 is also needed. If there is a third option then let it be this. If not than whatever offers -1.
I also read EU/US comics and am a librarian.

I voted for +10, -5 (or, +10, +5 as it currently mistakenly says), but would change my vote to whatever has -1 as an option.
If I could change my vote, anyway.
If I binge 40 chapters of a new comic, it was easy to just click that +10 four times and bring my record up to speed. But there's literally an edit button for big changes. Now what I'd need is an undo button for when I go +1 once too many on accident. -1 is great for that.

Feedback on mobile for the 10/5/1 change. With 3 options on mobile, they get cut off on the screen. So now, unless I'm incrementing by 1 a few times, I just use the edit option. I was pleased when the +10 was replaced by +5, but just using edit and typing in the ch number isn't too burdensome, and frankly, sometimes even quicker than using increment/decrement buttons. I seem to click the incr/decr buttons too fast for them to keep up and sometimes hit the wrong one with my finger anyway.
But the - 1 when it was visible on mobile screen was revolutionary.

Do you know what your mobile resolution is? I can try to fix it.
