These chapters describe what appears in your reading, not whether you liked one period more than another. Ratings are shown separately as context.

GENRE INTELLIGENCE

Your reading has more than one dimension

Statistics semantic layer

Genres, themes, audiences and recurring story elements are interpreted separately. They can all describe your reading, but they no longer compete on the same axis.

RATING FINGERPRINT

How you use the rating scale

104 rated books

This shows your own rating habits on Risingshadow’s current 1–10 scale. Historical five-star ratings are converted consistently (stored value × 2). Rating 0 means read but unrated and is never included in rating statistics.

TASTE INTELLIGENCE

What you read vs what you love

104 rated books · your average 7.8

Taste is measured relative to your own rating scale, then weighted by evidence and its place in your reading history. A few exceptional books remain discoveries, but established patterns lead the profile.

Historical rating value 0 is excluded from taste calculations but remains valid completed-reading evidence. Genre taste needs at least three rated books before it is shown.

READING DIRECTION

Recent movement in your reading

Evidence-safe
We can compare the periods, but we are not labeling direction yet.Missing classification is not treated as proof that a genre was absent. Reading Insights waits rather than turning incomplete metadata into a trend.

Your Reading World grows with the books you add. Some insights appear only when there is enough evidence to say something useful.
