I wish I had known about virtual libraries and "reading goal" plugins sooner, before I started building my own Calibre library. I would have definitely only used one library.

Because I didn't know, I created three libraries.

Although they are essentially clear, logical, and easy to follow, overall they are fine.

But they are quite inconvenient if I need to use a plugin to track my reading progress for statistics.
