I'm just some dude, not who you are looking for here!
If you care to peek into my MAL, take in mind the scores do not reflect the quality of the show but rather how fun the experience was for me and how my overall enjoyment was, a series I consider to be shit can be incredibly fun sometimes. I also do my best to NOT UPDATE SCORES, even on rewatch, I want them to be a timestamp of my state of mind when I originally finished a series.
If you want a more sane and updated score for a series I watched, lemme know....below, theres an attempt to make sense of my "logic" when scoring...

Score interpretation cheatsheet:

Score	lameass justification
10*	Liked it a lot and I wanted more of it, when I originally watched it! (NOT PERFECT)
9*	I really liked it on my first watch. (NOT CLOSE TO PERFECT)
8	Good/Fun enough for me to finish (ENJOYED)
7	Barely decent enough to not drop, may not watch forward (ALMOST DIDNT ENJOY)
6	Meh, I didnt like that much (MEH)
<6	that wasnt fun at all (rare, I usually drop these and dont add them) (FUCK THIS)

Scores with an * are also heavily influenced by niche shit I may like that may inflate a score... or something I dislike so much that it goes around and it becomes funny, lol

- Why are the scores so inflated?
I have an inflation fetish. When I started out I enjoyed eating shit and I since I made a vow to not update scores, I decided to keep some level of consistency...this does limit my scoring potential, specially for bad series, but I dont care. If a series is TOO bad that I would rate it much lower than 7, I usually just drop it and dont even add it to my list.
- Why so many degen shit above 8?
It varies, sometimes because it's funny, sometimes because I feel it has other redeeming qualities and, in other cases, I may just like said degen shit specifically, so if you wanna know, ask me about the series specifically and I'll tell ya!
- How can X have the same score as Y?! Are you crazy?
I am, but thats besides the point...discrepancies usually have to do with my compromise to not update scores, older series had higher scores because I used to watch shit exclusively at one point so my taste was """"less refined"""". BUT, even disregarding that, I just dont care about this at all, check my score cheatsheet above, I only rate based on enjoyment and enjoyment varies on my expectations...a series that seems like shit to me but isnt, will be inflated harder than a series everyone hyped me about and lived up to said hype.

tl;dr: My list is made as a way to track my enjoyment and not to meassure quality, think of it like peeking into my diary, lol.

Note: I use tags for faster lookup when I forget the name of a series, those are full of spoilers and cringy shit I wrote 15 years ago, so enter my MAL with discretion (blame MAL for not having a way to have a column private)
