    I have been a heavy reader in this site for many years. My reading lists are now so bloated it's difficult for me to find things to read. I want to resort them into new lists, hopefully more specific and thus smaller. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to filter them properly.

    My lists:

    Favorite - currently checking for new chapters often
    Waiting - waiting for 30-50ch before picking up
    Pending - I read to the last available chapter or very close and am waiting to binge 10+ chapters
    Reading - Stopped reading at some point without catching up
    Interesting - Has lots of chapters and may pick up later
    Low Priority - To read when nothing else catches my eye
    Finished - Completed novels I finished reading
    Completed - Completed novels I haven't read yet
    Dropped - I stopped reading because of something I didn't like
    Discontinued - Translator/writer stopped producing new chapters​

    Example of what I want to do:
    • Filter to see all stories in Pending that have received zero updates for 1 year, select all via checkbox and move to Discontinued
    • Filter to see all stories in Interesting that have been completed, select all and move to Completed list
    • Filter all stories in Reading that have the "Cultivation" tag and move them to a new list
    • Filter all stories with demihumans and move to a new list
    • Filter all zombie apocalypse stories and move to a new list

    Does anyone have any tips on how I can do this in a way that doesn't take hours of checking novels one at a time and moving them manually? Your help is greatly appreciated

    You can filter by genre using the funnel looking icon next to the question mark on the same banner as the move to ... at the top of the lists. That could help by using xianxia, xuanhuan, and wuxia instead of cultivation. Sadly I don't see a way to filter by tag.

    Best I see for the zero updates one is clicking the latest release on the top of the list to sort by most or least recent so you just have to find one that was updated one year ago and move all after that one novel.

    Lastly for any that could have been completed, best I can do is say look out for any that the latest chapter says something like (end), afterword, epilogue, short story, or ss. Probably a third of my completed novels have some variation of that.

    Hopefully someone knows a better way than that.
    Also you have twice the organization I do.
