Eragon

I like isekai a bit too much honestly, don't trust me having read an isekai to mean it's good lol. I do like to think that my ratings are generally solid however, give or take a little bit. Over time I've noticed that I hold anime to a higher standard than manga, though I guess that that makes sense due to the nature of having more things that can go well or badly.

My ratings for anime and manga can be interpreted using this scale, with each category generally extending 0.5 up and down.

5 - These exist. They do in fact qualify as manga/anime. Yup. White noise at best.
6 - Occasionally interesting or amusing, but overall very weak and/or boring. Don't expect good writing or competent storytelling, and expect average art/animation at best. Can be viewed when you're bored and have too much free time, but usually there are clearly better options. At least a bit better than the format equivalent of white noise.
7 - Not bad, but also not really good. Usually best described as average, with some upper-edge 7s being at least relatively enjoyable overall. Roughly the cutoff point between what I consider to be "good" or "bad" series, series that land here aren't particularly worth going out of your way to watch/read, but can have their moments.
8 - Legitimately good. There are actual merits to these series, and I would be willing to recommend them to someone who is looking for series in the respective genres. People who have an interest in the premises or topics in a series with this rating will most likely enjoy it, and these series are at least unlikely to be too offputting to others.
9 - Truly great in many ways. Standouts in their genres, I am extremely likely to have these on the tip of my tongue when giving recommendations, and there are rarely any large flaws or issues with series here. Things I am likely to think about and compare other series to.
10 - The best of the best. Absolute standouts of anime/manga, I give out true 10s extremely rarely, so anything that even breaks the 9.5 mark should be considered something extraordinary. I will likely have favorited most series that make it this high, and any series here I would consider must-reads for their respective genres. Like all of my scores, bias is always going to play some part, but I try not to let biases carry things to the very top. (note Dr. Stone at a 9.9, I absolutely love the show and it connects with me very strongly, but I know deep down that it is by no means a perfect show and does have flaws.)
4 and below - There is something seriously wrong with this series. It has majorly messed up at some point or in some very noticeable way. The further below a 4 it goes the more terribly it messed up. Shows I really hated watching but are at their core just generic shows with tropes or plots that I dislike will generally at least slip by at around a 5, so dropping below that means that something truly went wrong here. Going below a 5 from me often means that the series feels actively insulting to view in one way or another.

Notes about weird things in my lists:

• Any series that I have marked as completed but haven't rated (especially big-name ones) are probably things I read a while back, and haven't reread/rewatched to properly rate.
• Similarly, there are a decent number of big manga that I read relatively recently, but before I started tracking, and haven't caught back up on, so they're sitting at 0 chapters read but I have rated them.
• Much like the manga mentioned just above, many manga are set as "paused" despite being at 0 chapters. This is because while I do not remember their quality enough to rate them, I also did read them to some extent already, but before I started tracking, and I haven't reread/caught back up on them yet.
