Your Reading Progress page displays stats that summarize your reading activity. Here's how each metric works.
Overall Completion Percentage#
The donut chart at the top of your Reading Progress page shows your overall completion — the total number of issues you've read divided by the total issues across all series you've started.
Example
If you've read 150 issues across series that contain 600 issues total, your overall completion is 25%.
Only series where you've marked at least one issue as read count toward this total. Series you haven't started don't affect the percentage.
Per-Series Completion#
Each series on your reading list shows its own progress bar and completion percentage. This is calculated as:
Issues you've read in that series ÷ Total issues in that series × 100
A series reaches 100% when you've marked every issue in it as read. Use the Hide completed checkbox to filter these out and focus on in-progress series.
Note
If new issues are added to a series after you reach 100%, your completion will drop below 100% until you mark the new issues as read.
Publisher Breakdown#
The Publishers panel shows your top 5 publishers by number of issues read. Each publisher's bar represents its share of your total reading — not completion within that publisher's catalog.
Example
If you've read 80 Marvel issues and 40 DC issues out of 200 total, Marvel shows 40% and DC shows 20%.
How Reads Are CountedReading progress is tracked at the issue level. When you mark an issue as read, VerseDB creates a timestamped record. When you mark it as unread, that record is deleted — there is no "re-read" counter.#
Mobile App Stats#
The VerseDB mobile app provides additional reading statistics not yet available on the web:
- Reading streaks — Consecutive days where you marked at least one issue as read
- Weekly counts — Issues read per week over the last 8 weeks
- Next unread — Jump directly to the next unread issue in a series
Tip
To build a reading streak, mark at least one issue as read each day. Your streak stays active if you read today or yesterday — missing a single day resets it.
