This poll was suggested by SrAndrerz. To be honest, the poll is a bit of a mess. It should really be split into multiple questions, but I just didn't bother. If you want to write a comment, please consider these things

• Does a series based on an established work make a difference in your reading decision? Not as much can be new and exciting since it can't deviate too much from the source.
• Does you knowing how it's supposed to end make a difference?
• Does it make a difference that it's derivative and not the source? (Like manga that's based off an anime)
• Does it make a difference that the source is Western literature?

PS: You got 2.5 hours to kill? Here's the magnum opus on why Lion King wasn't a copy of Kimba the White Lion:

And just this last week, the US has had a huge spike in cases. Just great...

A bed is more popular than a desk or table? That's surprising!

I feel like if "sometimes" is an option, it usually wins

Maybe those clickbait thumbnails or titles peak the initial interest and then you choose to read the synopsis or summary. I remember hearing how Youtubers need to put a lot of effort into their thumbnails and titles to get the initial click to get more views

This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. How do you normally find or discover a new series to read? You probably have a combination of factors but pick the option that corresponds most with your primary factor.

I really should rewatch Cardcaptor Sakura. I bought the Blu-ray set and still haven't cracked it open...

This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. Assuming you reread some series, do you have those rose-colored glasses on in your memory? I feel it happens more often with stuff you've experienced as a child. Your young self didn't know any better and didn't have as many good comparisons, so too many things were considered "good." Then when you re-experience it as an adult, you get less pleasure out of it.

I remember seeing an AskReddit asking older redditors what they would like to tell younger redditors. One of the more common answers was to floss daily and take care of your teeth because dental replacements aren't the same as real teeth.
