I have so many questions regarding abysmal UI/UX
1
- Why has no item data about its original release date and/or release date of the translation?
- Browsing the unlimited content is just insulting. Did they just forget to implement a half-decent search with filters?
-- That toggle-button to block tags, which needs several seconds to reload each time between toggling it, for which you don't even get offered all available tags and instead have to make do with the tags the currently shown entries have
-- No filter/search option to sort by amount of favorites
-- No option to adjust the entries shown per page or switch between the default view and a tile view which only shows the title, creator + cover page to be able to quickly skim through them
-- If I select Unlimited instead of New Releases -> View More I still get the "Sign up for a 2 week trial" message even though I just signed up for it
I didn't expect much from Fakku other than a few specific purchasable collections like e.g. the Butcha-U Pooters Box, but what I've seen in ~1h browsing Fakku will lead me to cancel my trial.

Not going to defend the UI design here. Just wanted to add two small hints that may or may not be of any aid to you:
Regarding blocking tags: I find it's actually easiest to go to the Tags page, and look for any you want to block. Load up the page for each tag you want to block, and it will have an option to block the tag.
Also, you can try going to https://www.fakku.net/account/beta and switching Beta on or off depending on what it's set to for you. I find I like the non-beta layout much more. Just don't expect this to fix everything, search will still be kinda broken regardless of beta, and each of the UIs has its own issues.
Edit:
I just loaded up the https://www.fakku.net/unlimited URL, and something does seem to have broken further than it usually is. It appears to be the Beta layout even though I'm not in Beta, and it also suggests I sign up for a trial despite being a member for years.
The only reason I hadn't noticed before now is that I usually browse unlimted through https://www.fakku.net/tags/unlimited, where I thankfully still have the non-Beta layout and I get all the works in chronological order with latest releases up top.
The default unlimited page used to at least have some categories with stories that could (in theory) have been selected by taking inspiration from your followed tags, giving both an ordered entry point, some useful suggestions, and some hints on how to use the search system to find more works of interest.
The current page.. is just one huge mess of titles with no rhyme or reason. I kinda hope it's just a bug that the page shows like I'm not subscribed or signed in, and the page looks much different once that bug is fixed.
