It's such a shame that all the scans of these artbooks have been tagged as Artist CG, which means they've ended up in the blocklists of a large number of users on this site.

Fully agreed.

Also, I am honestly confused about when an artbook should be tagged as Artist CG vs Doujinshi. Artbooks really feel like they straddle the line between the two categories. What pushes this into the Artist CG category? (This one really bothers me because the wiki says panels, but those dakimakura pages ahould qualify as panels with the dividing line going perfectly down the middle.)

Edit: I spent some time searching the forums to try and resolve this. Apparently, this has been a contentious issue for a while now: https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=258923

Also, looking through my favorites, quite a few old artbooks I favorited a long time ago have been reclassified as artist CG instead of doujinshi. At some point, the standard of how to classify them was changed, maybe in 2019 based on the forum discussions. I think this gallery would’ve historically been classified as doujinshi.

I don’t know, the current status quo feels very, very unsatisfying. I don’t want to rehash all the arguments from that thread (and other similar topics), but it really bothers me that we’re excluding doujinshi from the Doujinshi category.
