Your rating reflects real readers

Review bombing is why authors dread rating sites. Seekquel is built to stop it, so your book is judged by people who actually read it.

Verified readers count more

Ratings from people who keep your book on their shelf carry more weight, and show a Verified reader badge.

Surges get caught

A coordinated burst of ratings from non-readers is held for a human moderator before it hits your page.

Brigading barely lands

Baseline-anchored scoring keeps a pile-on of fake one-stars from tanking your average.

Frequently asked questions

Seekquel solves the biggest Goodreads frustrations: the decade-old interface, limited star ratings, unreliable recommendations, missing content warnings, and no DNF tracking. Import your Goodreads or StoryGraph library with one CSV upload. Ratings, shelves, and dates transfer automatically. You get multi-axis reviews with GIF support and spoiler tagging, mood-based discovery, a visual reading garden, and a Reading DNA profile that actually maps your taste.
The StoryGraph pioneered mood-based discovery and does it well. Seekquel builds on that foundation with true multi-axis numeric ratings across 5 dimensions rather than tags alone, finer rating precision (half-stars for everyone, or tenth-of-a-star for Pro, versus StoryGraph's quarter-stars), a Reading DNA profile that evolves as you read, a full badge system with Bronze-to-Platinum tiers, and community-driven metadata contributions.
Yes. Seekquel supports Goodreads and StoryGraph CSV import with intelligent book matching. Your ratings, shelves, reading dates, and reviews transfer automatically. You can also import from any app that exports a standard CSV file.
Yes. Library tracking, the reading garden, mood-based discovery, multi-axis reviews (with GIFs and spoiler tags), Reading DNA, badges, buddy reads, book clubs, content warnings, and Goodreads & StoryGraph import are all free forever. Pro unlocks advanced analytics, custom shelves, tier lists, and more.
Reading DNA is your multi-dimensional taste profile. As you rate books across five axes (writing, impact, characters or ideas, plot or logic flow, and atmosphere), Seekquel maps your preferences across genres, moods, pace, and complexity into a living portrait that powers personalized discovery. Every recommendation is grounded in your own ratings, never a bot's opinion of what you should read.
Yes. Seekquel is on iPhone, Android, and the web. Your library, progress, and reading stats sync across every device in real time. The mobile apps support barcode scanning, offline mode, and push notifications.
Yes, everything syncs. Rate a book on your phone and the rating shows up on the web app instantly. Reading progress, shelves, ratings, reviews, buddy reads, and notifications stay in sync across Android, iPhone, and web. No manual export, no USB cables, no waiting.
Yes. Set your whole profile to public, followers-only, or private, and toggle exactly what shows: currently reading, stats, reviews, followers, and more. Require approval before anyone follows you, hide profanity across the app, and block, mute, or report anyone. Seekquel runs no ads and never sells your reading data.
No. Recommendations and your Reading DNA are built from your own ratings and reading history, not an algorithm's opinion of who you are. Seekquel never auto-writes commentary about you or the books you choose.
