I wanted to like StoryGraph; I really did. I love how "clean" it is and I strongly dislike how Goodreads is overwhelmed by promotions and irrelevant promotions at that. (No, Goodreads, just because I'm a woman, I don't want to read cowboy romances "based on my reading". I've entered three thousand books; you could do better than that. That is, if you weren't only motivated by the bottom line and instead wanted to provide value to members and paid promotions.) And also, while I'm not greatly bothered by how Amazon runs its business, I'd just as soon not make them a gift of even more data on me than they've already got.
But. The reality is that Goodreads' database is much better than Storygraph's and the user interface is faster and more intuitive. And given that I've already got a useful friends' network there.... I ported my books to StoryGraph and I tried; for a while I maintained both accounts but that wasn't worth the nuisance. Goodreads for all its drawbacks is still better for my purposes.
