I barely use this site, but when I do, it's just to find manga every so often. I don't know what happened to this site, but even 18 years ago, series stats was a metric that people used to find new series. From a pinned forum post: "Pick 6 and 3 months in activity to get an overview and the weekly for a more recent updates to the series. The list stats is great, now you can finally look at what's on most peoples reading list ect."

So what happened? There's such an obscene amount of smut, hentai, borderline-h in the top 100 list it might as well be a vast majority. It's fine if it's actually accurate, as in the yearly ranking activity wise is being portrayed and users are clicking on those links (god forbid there be an actual genre filter system in place though...).

But it doesn't really add up. Manga that haven't been translated, manga that have been published for less than 6 months show up in the top 100, manga with tens of votes, (https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/y36wmxt/construction-worker-s-public-toy) like you're joking right, this manga is rank 3 weekly and rank 39 yearly with 5 user votes and a singular joke review?

I wanna understand that too. Someone please explain to us how this is possible.
