Яна Вагнер | 16 comments I have a series consisting of two novels, and suddenly on July 14th they were merged under the title of the first novel - all editions and translations, too. Please help me to unmerge them back. As an author I cannot edit series details myself.

First novel of the series, #1: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Second novel of the series, #2: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
other editions and translations of the second novel, also to be numbered #2:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Please help, more translations are on the way and it's becoming more and more confusing. I am certain the problem occurred when someone changed numbering for the second novel from #2 to #1 in the series, and two books have suddenly became one.

Emily | 17638 comments Someone combined all the books for some reason. I have separated them back out and redone the series.
I may have mixed them up, but I can easily fix them. Check to see if some are still under the wrong number.

Thank you!
There are several editions now that should be numbered #1, please correct:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

And the original edition of the novel #2 that shows up in my author dashboard should be this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

But now there is another problem: after re-separation all the ratings for the second novel (and for its editions and translations) have dissappeared, there were hundreds of them. Is there any chance to restore them back?

Яна Вагнер | 16 comments oh, I've found the disappeared ratings and reviews for novel #2.

for some reason they are now all under this edition of the novel #1:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I have no idea how that happened. Would there be a way to move them back under this title?

I'm not Emily, but it usually takes a couple of days for ratings, etc to show in the correct places. It's a big site.

Emily | 17638 comments As Carol mentioned, since everything was combined, it will take time for the ratings to go back to the correct records. It will update within a couple days I would think.
I have moved those books back to the first one.
