Allow .5 ratings in Reviews

Max Romanchenko New update.

Amrayu78 I've successfully implemented the 0.5-step rating feature.
While testing, I noticed something confusing - there are already ratings like 9.5 in the database from December 6, and average ratings like 9.2, 8.7.
I'm a bit puzzled because I just added this feature today. Did I miss something, or were there any updates to the reviews recently?
Just want to make sure I understand the current state before finalizing everything.
Thank you.

Max Romanchenko I've been importing reviews and titles to user Watchlists. I created a plugin that helps with users to migrate/transfer their existing MyDramaList watchlists over to Drama-Otaku's. Some of these reviews contained .5 ratings.
Main reason for this, people want to see their Yearly Rewind and they do not have any content, so I'm trying to make it easier for them.
I've been importing roughly 1-2 watchlists a day whenever I have time as to not overload the system.
I didn't want to bother you with this, such it is time-consuming task. :)
Thanks for updating this!

Amrayu78 Thanks for clarifying! That explains the 9.5 ratings.
However, I'm still seeing issues with the calculated average ratings (like 9.2, 8.7 instead of rounded values) and review counts not matching. These might have occurred during the import process.
Have you already finished importing? I think the importer plugin made a mistake somewhere and didn't include important data (which is why there are inconsistencies now).
Would you like me to create a script to recalculate all average ratings and review counts to ensure data consistency (Or I can wait until you finish importing)? This would make sure everything is accurate going forward.

Max Romanchenko Can you wait until I finish importing? It may take another couple weeks since it's a lot of data. I've also been updating the plugin often to get more matches and make things more efficient.
But what do you think is better? Wait or recalculate average ratings?
Max Romanchenko
Amrayu78 Of course! I think it's better to wait for the import to complete. It's best to leave things as they are now to avoid any other issues.

Max Romanchenko Got it! Thanks for your patience. I'll let you know when I'm done. It'll probably take a couple weeks as I mentioned before since it's a long and cumbersome process of matching the titles on MyDramaList and Drama-Otaku. The plugin I've created matches a good bulk though, but still some manual intervention is needed. Thanks again!
