Storygraph
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- You might want to check out storygraph to look for books. You can filter for dark fantasy and they have content warnings for all books
- I personally love everything about StoryGraph. I love how it doesn’t force it to be a social media app.
- Personally, I like Storygraph's recommendations. I just go to my favourite book and check out "Browse similar books"
- Storygraph is amazing. It's owned and created by a black woman and the statistics and data they provide are unmatched. You can give quarter stars in your reviews and add in your own TWs if needed. Using it doesnt benefit billionaires. It...
- Storygraph (similar to Goodreads if you aren’t familiar) has trigger warnings listed for each book and rated based on severity. I would suggest you just check there for any book you’re interested in.
Cons
- hardcover is just the name of the app that the bot is based on, its a platform like storygraph and goodreads where you can track the books you’re reading
- Yeah, I've exclusively used SG since 2019 and liked it a lot. I wish that the community features were a bit more integrated into things (I would like to save/like other peoples' reviews), but it's a small price to pay for staying off GR.
- I build an app for this called ReadHero because the old apps like goodreads or StoryGraph felt old.
- Tried storygraph and really liked how well they tracked stats, but the clunky UI and missing/incorrect data that skewed my trends the wrong way threw me off.
- I like the idea of storygraph, but had a lot of issues when moving my Goodreads library over (it would pick the wrong edition which would mess up the stats, which is the only thing I was interested in)

I like StoryGraph for recommendations! You can sort by “vibe”, pace, length, and they have a quiz to match your tastes.
Parent context: How is it compared to Goodreads? That’s what I use. Reply: This may not be a concern for everyone, but it was the draw for choosing StoryGraph over Goodreads for me - StoryGraph is not owned by Jeff Bezos.
Personally, I find the reviews on StoryGraph more helpful than GoodReads reviews. On SG you can rate on a .25 scale, but GR you have to leave whole number ratings. SG feels more accurate
