Volumes should support Genre fields

KevinTyrrell commented 9 months ago

Describe your suggested feature

It's very common for a genre of a series to swap wildly between volumes. This is especially true of books/manga etc that are Anthologies (completely different story each volume). E.g. if Volume 1 was Genre: Fantasy, but Volume 2 has no such theme, calling the entire series as a Genre: Fantasy is a bit nonsense.

Solution: Add new field to Volume which behaves exactly like Tags, inheriting from the series by default. E.g. If you had [Series X], you add Genre: Fantasy to X, you go to X -> Volume 1, edit, genres, you should be able to see Fantasy. You should then be able to override and remove Fantasy, such that each individual.

I don't quite understand what you are proposing here. Komga does not have a Volume field.

Sorry by Volume I mean Number, or at least that's what displays when I click on a book inside of a series:

You can set tags per book also, see on the left.

Re-reading, it seems you would like to have Genre on Books. Your use case is very specific, and i am dubious about series changing genre entirely between volumes.

I'll be closing this, as i have no plans to implement this.
