Keeping track of your books & subtitle customizations

I'm curious to see how many people customize their metadata to add more info about a book! I'd love to see what changes you made

I get lazy to long press on a book and click "book details" so I've substituted the scarcely used subtitle section for word counts followed by the genres or tropes. If there's no genres/tropes then I'll replace this with the hours/minutes needed to read a book. Then I categorize the books into collections by word count, season/mood, or genre

I've been wanting to add page count to the subtitle field, but haven't gotten around to it (mostly because I constantly forget I want to do it.). My collections are mostly based on genres, so I'm not going to bother adding a genre to the subtitle.

My reading speed is extremely uneven, so I'm not going to bother with that either.

At the moment I only have title, series and author displayed in the book list.

I have collections based on:
  1. Genre
  2. Reading challenges
My customization in metadata include:
  1. Subtitle
    It includes:
    1. Page count
    2. Reading challenges
  2. Comment section
    It includes:
    1. Genre
    2. Reading challenges
    3. Original page count for the book (from goodreads)
    4. Sure I'm forgetting something as I did the template long time ago....
Everything is fulfilled automatically based on information I add to (or calculate for) every book.

Subtitle: Genre followed by number of pages.

Authorname is followed by number of books and "5*" whenever this author got 5 stars by me.

All automatically done.

There are four lines in my book lists: Title, number of pages, series and author. And as the number of books in my 3 readers increased (some 8000 now), so did the number of tags with main genre, with cross-tags (fanfiction and fanfic ss for instance) with a number in front for those I want at the top of the collections list.
Here are examples (in French):
0 catalogue
0 référence
1 *
1 * fiction
1 à lire
1 à relire
1 SF-F à lire
1_italien à lire
2 omnibus poésie hor réf
5 à réviser
6 espagnol
8+ (= not readable on 7" or less readers)
Byron (for books by Byron or on Byron)
éfélé (a source for French classics)

Note: I attribute one star or none.

I read a lot of fanfiction on my Kobo, so on those I use the subtitle to display the fandom and story progress (in-progress/complete).
