I thought about people with giant reading lists (like mine, who has a "plan to read" list that's excessive) and wondered if it'd be a good idea to be able to filter one's reading lists by genre, tag, content warning, story status, etc. in the same way that we can do so when looking for new stories. What do you guys think—good idea or waste of time?

You can create many lists and move novels appropriately
I have 6 lists: Reading, Completed, Dropped, Paused, Hiatus, and Plan to Read.

If your list crashes your computer when you open it, probably a good idea to break it up. Just saying.
The list is not crashing my computer; however, with a large list, it can be challenging to find what one might be in the mood to read.

Six? Ambitious! I delete all the "dropped" ones and just have three: Reading, Maybe Will Read and Probably Will Not Read but Curious.

You can already do this though. It's at the same place as you look for new series (Series Finder). Look for the Reading Lists part and just change it to 'Include'. I've always done this in NU because of the same problem as yours.

Edit: I noticed that there's a difference between NU and SH. In NU you can include every reading lists in the filter, while in SH, you can only choose a specific reading list. A little annoyance, I think.

Laumy out here proving that the feature I needed is already out here. 10/10

Perhaps the ability to add the remarks is in order.

Or have the same filter as the search fuction has.
