Right now, 3 years after my initiation into the hentai world, I'm at 11.6GB with 19.805 files among 408 folders, the majority being mangas, with a few single pictures and very few videos (only 6 of them actualy).
I'm really trying to keep them as much organised as possible, though I must say that after reading a few of the previous posts I seem to be failing. It looks somewhat like this:
Big Folder (in a place that doesn't draw too much attention)
-Folder 1 (dedicated to my favorite girl - single pictures) <37MB>
-- Subfolders [depending on type i.e. ecchi, hentai, paranormal]
-Folder 2 (random girls - single pictures)
-Folder 3 (videos)
-Folder 4 to 13: Somewhat long series like "My Balls", "Inu Hatsu", "Alice in Sexland", "Dawn of the Silver Dragon" etc taht I feel they ought to be apart from the others due to actualy having some fun reading them.
-Folder 14: Doujinshi
--Subfloders [depending on anime or game series]
---More subfolders if there is more than 1 work for each anome/game (which is usualy the case)
-Folder 15 to 24: Favorite artists (Amatarou, Kisaragi, Yamatogawa, Yanagawa and a few others)
--Subfolders on every one of them for each work obviously..
-Folder 25 to 140something: Single hentai mangas named like this "Artist, Title, Source". These folders are arranged alphabeticaly.
I've been using the artist's name first tactic because until lately I've never been interested in who's made what, be it literature, games, anything. And since I'm quite the wormbook that's alot of books that I may even remember phrases from but no idea (and no care either) as of who created it. Long story short, feelings of guilt made me want to give a certain credit to the makers.
Which now has led me to the trouble of not being able to find what I want when I need to... well, you get it...
Very recently I've been thinking of undertaking the task of renaming them, adding 2-3 tagsin the front (tags would include but not be limited to things like fantasy, rape, love, incest etc). But the amount of time it'll probably take me to i. Find all the tags that describe what I'd look in a manga and ii. Read them again and rename them, intimidates me.
