Live Progress
One Shared Goal
Every read, listen, comment, reaction, and review pushes the community total forward.
The Basics
How It Works
Read or Listen
Explore stories across Minkly. Reading and listening add to the community total, but don't be a silent reader: leave at least a reaction on chapters you enjoy so your engagement actually counts toward your score.
Engage With Authors
Leave thoughtful comments, post reviews, and react to chapters you enjoy. This is what moves the needle most on your score.
Track Progress Together
A live community progress bar shows how close we are to the shared goal. Every interaction counts toward it.
Climb the Leaderboard
The most engaged participants rise on the leaderboard. The Top 20 each earn a cash reward.

How Engagement Is Scored
This Read-A-Thon rewards real interaction. Comments, reactions, and reviews are weighted the most heavily.
Comments
Weighted heavily
Thoughtful, genuine comments on chapters carry the most weight toward your score.
Reviews
Weighted heavily
Detailed story reviews are among the highest-value contributions you can make.
Reactions
Weighted heavily
Reacting to chapters shows authors what landed, and counts strongly toward your total.
Reading & Listening
Counts toward your score
Reading and listening to chapters still earn points and push the community goal forward.
Quality matters. Low-effort or spam activity may be discounted, and thoughtful engagement always wins out. The emphasis shown is illustrative of relative weighting, not exact point values.
Private Accounts Are Not Counted
To keep the leaderboard fair and transparent, only public accounts are eligible to rank and receive rewards. If your account is set to private, your activity will not be counted toward the leaderboard. Switch your profile to public before the event ends to participate.
