How to Organize and Track Your MangaBuddy Reading List Like a Pro in 2025

With thousands of manga, manhwa, and webtoon titles available for free, MangaBuddy has become the go-to platform for manga lovers in 2025. But with so much content at your fingertips, its easy to get overwhelmed especially if you're reading multiple series at once.

Have you ever forgotten which chapter you left off on? Or accidentally reread the same pages twice? If so, you're not alone.

This article will guide you through smart, effective ways to organize and track your MangaBuddy reading list, so you can enjoy your favorite series without confusion or interruption.

Why Tracking Matters on MangaBuddy

Unlike some official manga platforms, MangaBuddy doesnt require user accounts which is great for privacy, but it also means theres no built-in tracking system for your progress.

Thats why organizing your own reading list is essential. Without it, you might:

• Forget what chapter you were on

• Lose progress if you clear your browser history

• Miss new chapter updates

• Start reading a duplicate series with a different title

A little planning can make a huge difference in your reading experience.

1. Use Browser Bookmarks Strategically

One of the simplest ways to track your reading is by using your browsers bookmark feature.

How to Do It:

• Create a folder named MangaBuddy in your bookmarks bar

• Bookmark the exact chapter page youre currently reading

• Rename the bookmark with the series title and chapter number (e.g., Solo Leveling Ch. 49)

• Move the bookmark up or down as you make progress

This method works best if you regularly clean and update your bookmarks.

2. Use a Digital Notepad or Spreadsheet

If youre reading more than 510 series at once, consider using Google Sheets, Notion, or a basic notepad app.

Sample Spreadsheet Columns:

• Title

• Last Chapter Read

• Genre

• Status (Ongoing/Completed)

• Notes (e.g., slow start, favorite arc, etc.)

This allows you to quickly scroll through your entire reading list and update it anytime even across devices.

3. Track by Screenshots or Photos

For quick reference, some readers prefer to screenshot the last panel or chapter title before exiting the page.

You can:

• Create an album in your phone gallery called MangaBuddy Progress

• Take a screenshot of the chapter name or number

• Use it to resume later without guessing

This method works well for mobile readers who dont want to manage bookmarks or open another app.

4. Use Custom Tags or Emojis in Bookmark Titles

If you read across different genres, it helps to visually separate your bookmarks.

For Example:

• ? Fantasy Mushoku Tensei Ch. 32

• ? Romance The Villainess Turns the Hourglass Ch. 17

• ?? Action Return of the Disaster-Class Hero Ch. 58

This way, even a quick glance tells you what kind of story it is especially helpful if you rotate between genres.

5. Schedule Weekly Reading Time

Consistency helps you keep up with ongoing series, especially if they update weekly.

Try This:

• Dedicate one or two days each week as your MangaBuddy session

• Open your tracking method before you begin

• Update your reading status after finishing

Over time, it becomes a routine and reduces the mental load of trying to remember every detail.

6. Use Browser History (as a Backup)

If you forgot to track your chapter, your browser history can often help.

Pro Tip:

Search for mangabuddy.com in your browser history. It will show every chapter page you've visited.

You can use this info to:

• Revisit unfinished chapters

• Reconstruct your reading list

• Catch up on a series you left months ago

While not as organized, its a solid emergency backup.

7. Sort Titles by Status: Ongoing vs. Completed

Its easier to manage your reading list when you separate ongoing and completed series.

Suggested Method:

• Create two folders or spreadsheet sections:

  1. Ongoing

  2. Completed

This prevents you from accidentally waiting for updates that wont come (because the series has already ended) or forgetting to resume a title thats actively publishing.

8. Add Short Notes or Ratings

Your reading list should be more than just chapter numbers. Add small notes to remind yourself of:

• Why you paused a title

• Which arcs were your favorite

• Whether its worth rereading

Example Notes:

• Great pacing after chapter 15

• Romance subplot is slow

• Dropped due to art style

These quick insights help future you pick up right where you left off with context.

9. Create a Visual Tracker with Cover Images (Optional)

If you enjoy visual organization, you can build a Notion board or Trello list with:

• Cover art

• Title

• Chapter number

• Personal ratings or tags

This method is ideal for collectors, reviewers, or manga bloggers who want to showcase and track their library visually.

Final Thoughts

In 2025, MangaBuddy continues to grow, with more users, titles, and categories than ever before. But with great variety comes great chaos unless youre organized.

By building your own custom tracking system, you not only save time and avoid confusion you also enhance your reading experience. Whether youre a casual fan or a daily reader, these simple habits help you manage your manga universe like a pro.

So the next time you dive into a new series on MangaBuddy, dont just read track it smartly and stay one step ahead of the story.
