FAQ: all your questions answered

Who are the guides for?

For readers who want to start a series without picking the wrong edition or reading order. Each guide answers one precise question and is updated when a new edition comes out.

Are your guides sponsored?

No. No publisher reviews our articles before publication, and any sponsored content would be labeled where it appears.

How do you choose between several editions of a series?

We compare what can be compared: format, paper, reading direction, colour pages, translation quality where it has been publicly discussed, and price per volume. The guide says which edition suits which use, not which one is best in the abstract.

Do your guides contain plot spoilers?

Never beyond what the back cover of the first volume announces. When a guide has to mention a turning point, a warning appears before that passage.

How often are the guides updated?

With every new edition, announced reprint or change of publisher. The update date sits under the title, and significant changes are noted at the end of the article.
