My impressions are similar as those of others:
- It seems to mostly show me books I've already read and know of, including sequels of what I added, which isn't very useful.
- It ultimately seems to prioritize "highest rated in category" too much, rather than focusing more on what made my chosen books stand out over others.
- Needs a "disliked books" list, especially when the recommendations show me a lot of superficially similar books I hated. I'd like to blacklist them.
- Would be cool to have a discovery mechanism for less popular and even obscure titles. Again, the top picks of each category are very well-known.
- Might not be practical, but I'd like some way to filter by specific features of reviews. E.g. prioritize reviews that say "the MC is a psychopath/murderhobo/rapist" higher for anti-recommendation, ignore reviews that say "whiny character", etc.
