Seems pretty good! However, like all of these websites, it's only so useful without a large userbase to get ratings and reviews from.

Some feedback:

- Visually pleasing!

- It seemed to have failed to import some books from StoryGraph for me (e.g., "The Hive" by Camilo José Cela and "The Epic of Gilgamesh"), and as far as I could tell it did not notify me anywhere. I had no idea until I noticed that they were missing from my "Read" library.

- The book "Zone" by Mathias Énard seems to be completely impossible to find via searching, despite existing on the website (https://kaguya.io/books/zone).

- Adding a feature that allows clicking on 'Read Books' or 'Want to Read' on a user's profile to directly view their complete library in that category would be nice.

- Only five "Similar Books" seems rather low, would love to have a "See more >" option there!

- A "Neighbours" feature similar to what Last.fm has for finding other users would be great.

- This is a minor nitpick, but the grey box that represents a missing book under "Favourite Books" on a profile is taller than the actual covers.
