I'm interesting finding potential alternatives too... as there's a few features of MAL I'm not too keen on. Not only that, but I'd like to track my #anime, #manga and #LightNovels separately!

I’ve been using MAL since I started watching anime, and I’ve never explored or looked for alternatives. Besides MAL and Anilist, what can I check out? I basically need just the tracking, I’ve never used the social part

I’m looking at AniList right now, doesn’t look like there’s a LNs section so you may skip this one…

The LN section is for some reason merged with the manga section.

This has thrown me for a loop before when messing around in the api. These really need to be separated, but I guess there are quite a few changes that need to happen in the backend to make that happen.

@WaifuWatcher @tor just looked it up and #bookwrym has japanese light novels. Would love a manga/anime fork, bookwyrm is great

I suggest Kitsu. It has a nice API and it’s great to use with open source apps like Nekome or Kitsune.
