Im also having a same issue, the library wont update globally, expect if i refresh some series that i look then they start to update.

i think it would be better to differentiate between auto update and manual update. for auto update it makes sense to use smart update because we were passively waiting, but for manual update most users will think it would update every entry. maybe make some settings to deactivate smart update for manual update?

I completely understand the need for discretion in terms of pinging host servers for updates, but I think this feature may not be working correctly and that's why it's so noticeable. For example, I just manually updated Shadows House (via MangaSee) and see a missed chapter on Jan 11 and Jan 17. This is on the normal schedule for Shadows House, and so it's strange to see it not update at all.

I've had this issue, and think I found the fix for it after poking around the settings.

More -> Settings -> Library -> Global Update Section -> Categories

Select the Categories you want to update automatically (whether that's an automatic or manual library update.) You'll see a checkbox. A second press on the checkbox will exclude that category from being updated. You'll see an 'X' in the checkbox.

With these changes my 'Default' category will pull any updates when I pull to refresh (or on the daily automatic update) while not hammering the host for all the non-started and finished series that I have in other categories.

My assumption is that a blank selection in the Categories setting defaults to disabled updates.

At least show a notification to point out what is stopping mihon from updating the library. I thought something was wrong with my device. Thanks to @huffstler, this fixed the issue for me.

"Save as CBZ archive" (option somewheren in "Downloads")
saves the manga images as a zipped CBZ file, saving more space for your phone.

Fake News. Mihon creates archives with no compression (images don't compress well anyway), they're akin to folders.

My recommendation
"Smart Update" (option somewheren in "Library")
4 options at the time of typing, I suggest turning ON "Skip unstarted entries"; I highly suggest turning OFF "Predict next release time" cause it influences when to check specific manga on global/category updates, it still tries to predcit whens the next release visually but now it's included in your "Automatic updates" settings.

"Automatic Updates" (option somewheren in "Library")
How often you like, shortest was "Every 12 hours"

"Categories" (option somewheren in "Library")
"Include:" Is needed to be "All" you do this by leaving nothing checked.
"Exclude:" This is simple, anything that has X will show here, usually Nhentai stuff or H manhua.
Basically anything that has X won't be updated, ✔ mark is redundant if not feels unlucky for me so I have nothing checked, Nhentai freezes entries, so there was never a need to "check" for new chapters, their new chapters are released like a Manga. In any case, "Default" should neither have X nor ✔.

"Auto-downoads" (option somewheren in "Downloads")
"Download new chapters" if turned on, downloads new chapters on manga you bookmarked.
"Categories" (option somewheren in "Downloads" different from "Library")
Same explanation as from "Categories" (option somewheren in "Library"), should automatically mirror there, but doublecheck just incase.

"Save as CBZ archive" (option somewheren in "Downloads")
saves the manga images as a zipped CBZ file, It's up to you, but I guess many would love to leave this on.

Other options are also important but not as important as these to only be discover later.
