As you submit approved reviews, you progress through milestone badges. This article lists each badge and how to earn it.
The badge ladder
| Badge | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 📖 Reader | 1 approved review |
| 📚 Active Reader | 5 approved reviews |
| 📕 Devoted Reader | 10 approved reviews |
| 📗 Bookworm | 25 approved reviews |
| 📘 Voracious Reader | 50 approved reviews |
| 📙 Reading Legend | 100 approved reviews |
Where badges appear
- On your dashboard’s “Your Book Reviews” tab — your current badge is displayed prominently
- On the public Reader Leaderboard ranking — next to your name
- On any review you’ve submitted — readers see what level reviewer you are
Once earned, a badge can’t be revoked unless reviews are mass-deleted (which doesn’t happen normally). They’re a permanent recognition of contribution.
What happens beyond 100?
You stay at “Reading Legend” — that’s the top badge. But your point count keeps rising and you climb the leaderboard ranking. Beyond 100 reviews, you may be invited to join the peer-review team that approves new submissions (a small honor that comes with a separate role badge).
Can I earn multiple per book?
No — one approved review per book per reviewer. Submitting a second review of the same book gets auto-rejected. If you want to update your existing review, edit it in your dashboard.
What about reviews of my own books?
You can’t review your own books. The system blocks self-reviews at the form level.
