Currently, each content (series, chapter/volume/book) tracks its own status independently. This is useful for example with movies, where you may not watch them in order.

I'd like to improve this system, but I'm not sure exactly right now what changes should be made.

That said, I have been thinking of introducing a layer of indirection between content and the reading progress in the form of a "reading track". If you read something halfway, don't read it for a month, and then start over, you'll be prompted to start a new reading track. The old one still exists, but typically only for record-keeping.

I imagine something like "Read up to volume 3 on the 1st of Jan. 2024", and when you come back to it two years later and start over, it creates a new line: "Read up to volume 10 from the 3rd till 16th of Sept. 2026"
