That’s certainly one of the top two downsides of the wishlist feature.
The other is looking at all the items on my wishlist that I don’t know nearly enough words to read comfortably yet…
(Not that I need more series to read at the moment.)

Love the idea of this site, thank you for dedicating so much effort to it!
I recently went through the trouble of populating known words but it seems like I am not getting an overall visual of the percentage of known words for most series from the browse page. And I don’t seem to have any effective way of filtering or sorting based on known words.
I can click into a title and that view will show a known words percentage but the listed series don’t seem to align with the parameters I specify in the filters.
The percentage indicator will appear for some listings on the browse page but it is not predicable when it will or won’t appear.
Just curious if I am fundamentally missing something here or if there is some other problem. Any feedback you can provide is appreciated!
When reloading the Browe page, does the list of displayed series change?
If the list of displayed series changes upon reload, then the explanation would be: currently, there is a design issue where any series pending generating stats will show at the front of the search results, rather than the end. Once all these pages get their stats, you should see the expected output. However, Manga Kotoba limits the number of series that refresh stats at once, so it may take a number of refreshes before everything has its stats generated.
In the meantime, I’ll check and see if I can find anything in the database to back up if this is the cause.
Edit:
It looks this is likely the issue. At the time of writing, the site has set the stats for 289 series on your account, out of 2,113 series on the site.
This “bug” in showing items with no stats first worked fine enough when the site had a few hundred series, but I need to fix it now that there are so many more series. I’ll work on that today.
One “hack” to get around this is to click through the pages (page 2, page 3, page 4) and each page view will update for up to 100 series at a time.

Shift + refresh did not have a meaningful impact.
The displayed list content does not appear to be consistently generated. I can swap between refreshing the page and clicking the ‘Update List’ button without changing any inputs to the filter parameters and the content/ordering of the displayed series will keep changing.
Is this something that gets resolved over time then when the series have been processed?
It should correct itself over time, with one exception: if there is a series you have zero known word for, I’m not certain of those will get stat information.
I’ll work on it today to see if I can make all the necessary improvements, as this is certainly an issue.
I’ve moved to live some updates that should help out with this.
-
Items with a known words percentage are now shown first on the browse pages.
-
Adding/updating percentages is improved.
You’ll still see a bit of volitility in listings until all series receive their percentages, but the results should be a bit better now.

Likewise, thank you for bringing it up!
It’s easy for me to not see the “new user” experience, and when I do create a new account to see if everything’s working, it’s easy to say “I’ll improve such-and-such later”. This ultimately results in a worse experience for all new users. But now things are improved!
