It is a mix. It works, but I don't like how hydrus manages paged/chaptered media at the moment.

If you have nice cbr/cbz files, I'd say don't import their files to hydrus for now, and just use another comic reader software. I expect to have actual cbr/cbz support in the next two years, with hydrus able to go into the archive and read through the separate file pages in the media viewer like any other reader. I am now generally of the opinion that treating chapters/volumes as single files is better for comics than treating pages as separate files.

That said, if you can get nice page/chapter/series tags to your files using filename-import-parsing, hydrus does work, and it is usually easy to reverse the operation as you can export the files again with nice filenames. It just takes that extra effort, and you have to get the page tags correct or it is a clusterfuck to try to fix atm.

Maybe you can try importing one chapter or volume, without deleting the original file(s), and seeing how you like to read that in hydrus, with the different sort/collect choices. If it works better than a proper comic reader, then yeah I'd say do more, otherwise hold off a bit.
