From actions to achievements
Every badge represents a milestone: 1,000 Coins earned, 50 comments posted, or 6 months of continuous membership. What used to be raw numbers now becomes motivation and recognition. Achievements are stored permanently, unaffected by fluctuations in Coin or Cash balances, so that progress always feels meaningful.
- Automatic awarding once conditions are met.
- Transparent requirements, clearly displayed to users.
- Clear status labels: achieved or not achieved, encouraging further goals.
Archive Badge – a public hall of fame
The Archive Badge page acts as a community-wide hall of fame, where all available badges are displayed. Users can:
- Browse the entire badge collection available on the site.
- Filter quickly by three states: All, Achieved, Not Achieved.
- Enjoy responsive, UIkit-based visuals with fallback images included.
Single Badge – highlighting each achievement
Each badge has its own dedicated page showcasing the artwork, achievement conditions, and a list of up to 50 users who earned it, sorted by registration date. This transforms personal progress into a social recognition event that encourages others to participate.
Badge Slider – personal showcase of progress
Inside the user dashboard, the Badge Slider lets readers display their earned achievements in style. Powered by UIkit’s responsive slider, it adapts perfectly from mobile to desktop. If no badges have been earned yet, the block disappears gracefully, keeping the layout clean.
Setup Wizard – ready in one click
To simplify onboarding, the Setup Wizard now includes full Badge System support:
- Automatically generates sample badges for common milestones (Coins, Cash, Level, Comments, Subscriptions, and more).
- Downloads and attaches pre-designed badge images (WEBP, transparent background).
- Requires no manual setup — just one click during installation and the system is ready.
This ensures that every site starts with a complete gamification framework, offering badges to users from day one.
Flexible, creative, and future-proof
The Badge System is built to be fully extendable:
- Create new badges with custom thresholds and rules.
- Add unique artwork to match your site’s branding.
- Use creative names, from “Casual Reader” to “Community Legend.”
To make onboarding easier, Init Manga also provides 131 sample badge images (WEBP format, transparent background) that site admins can reference or use right away. Download them for free here.
Conclusion
The Badge System in Init Manga v1.5.5 transforms a passive reading experience into an engaging journey of achievements. It strengthens user retention, energizes community participation, and gives administrators a powerful tool to reward, encourage, and gamify their platform.
