The only one that I actually *really* liked was "Better Living Through Algorithms" which is way ahead in first place for me.

Yeah, in the novella category. And not ”basically”, but _actually_. An extremely disgusting story.
In short stories, my voting order will be:

I read "Better Living" a couple of days ago. I liked it at the time, but now I can't really remember anything about it. I haven't read the others yet
I updated message #3 above with my BDP long form rankings. Just finished the last one I had, Poor Things, which was... a unique experience. Much better than Wandering Earth 2 which I really struggled to get through. Other than that, they're all good this year.
I explored the Professional Artist and Fan Artist categories in order to vote on them. The professional category in particular is reaaaally hard to rank because they are all so magnificent. I really feel like we're in a golden age for cover art (I am not partial to old midcentury pulp-style artwork). Of course a lot of the entries are for Subterranean Press which has really fancy cover and interior artwork for their fancy limited editions most of us can't actually get our hands on. I posted my rankings up in message #3, I went with Alyssa Winans in the top spot for her excellent Tordotcom work, but Galen Dara's and Micaela Alcaino have some breathaking work too. I ranked Rovina Cai lower because she's already won the award a few times, and I'd like to share the glory.

I just finished reading the novelette category and I'm with Timo on the top and bottom placements. "The Year Without Sunshine" was great, if low-key, but what can compete with a well-written story about a community coming together to take care of each other in a disaster scenario? I just need more stories like this right now, and I think a lot of others do which is why I suspect she'll win both the novelette AND short story categories.
The Gu Shi story was frustrating because for over half the novelette it was just a future history of cryosleep, characters didn't come in until about two-thirds in and then it became much more attention-capturing.
Also, I watched Godzilla Minus One over the weekend and it really should have made the ballot for BDP in place of Wandering Earth 2. I am not a kaiju fan but it was really good.

1. Thornhedge
2. Mammoths at the Gates
3. Seeds of Mercury
4. Life Does Not Allow Us to Meet
5. Rose/House
-- The Mimicking of Known Successes (ongoing, but likely to be higher than Rose/House coz I can't finish that one. Martine's writing does not click with me.
Novelette ranking - this is the hardest, I like most of them!
1. I AM AI
2. Ivy, Angelica, Bay
3. Introduction to 2181 Overture, Second Edition
4. The Year Without Sunshine
5. On the Fox Roads
6. One Man's Treasure
Short story ranking:
1. Tasting the Future Delicacy Three Times - the most fun short work this year (but maybe coz the others are rather meh)
2. Better Living Through Algorithms
3. Answerless Journey
4. How to Raise a Kraken in Your Bathtub
5. The Sound of Children Screaming
6. The Mausoleum’s Children
Still working on the best novel & graphic novel category, to be updated in this thread. I wish I could read the Lodestar ones but no time.

I'm curious just how awful it is but I think I will skip it given how many negative reactions I'm starting to see about it online.

I finished the short stories and my rating is
1. Better Living Through Algorithms by Naomi Kritzer - while it reminds of her H/N winning Catnet, it is still the best among the nominees
2. Tasting the Future Delicacy Three Times by Baoshu - even if the prose/translation is uneven (plus a slight sexism) and I guessed in advance the punchline of the first third, overall a good idea story - as in old SF and Soviet SF which I clearly see here.
3. How to Raise a Kraken in Your Bathtub by P. Djeli Clark - ok, a nice homage to Vernes but per se forgettable story
4. The Sound of Children Screaming by Rachael K. Jones - important theme, solid angry voice but too US-centric. I kept thinking about children in Kharkiv, who study in the underground daily...
5. The Mausoleum's Children by Aliette de Bodard - an average story, nothing exceptional, probably pushed by the author's fans
6. Answerless Journey by Han Song - what is was, a horror masking as SF? They recalled too much and too little, inconsistent

My Best Novelette ranking
1. The Year Without Sunshine by Naomi Kritzer - it think it is both well written and breaks the trope, where only 'needed' people survive in post-apoc
2. One Man's Treasure by Sarah Pinsker - magic garbage collectors is a great idea
3. Ivy, Angelica, Bay by C. L. Polk - even if I predicted some of the final twists, I liked the story
all three below are so-so,
4. On the Fox Roads by Nghi Vo - Bonnie and Clyde with Chinese characters? Doesn't work for me. I ain't a fan of the original duo, who according to the wiki "They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians". And with non-whites I guess Chinese pogroms would have been a result
5. I AM AI by AI Jiang - so a heart is really where emotions reside?
6. Introduction to 2181 Overture, Second Edition by Gu Shi - boring. I'm still searching for a 60s (I guess) SF work (maybe a novelette in size. definitely below a novel) where so many people tried to sleep to a better future that the present went worse and worse due to lack of workers, etc. the protagonist there works unfreezing illegal sleepers

lol, I thought the same thing. It was a very strange pivot to sentimental metaphor for an ostensibly hard-SF transhumanist story. It didn't work for me, although the rest of the story around it is pretty good. I read Jiang's other voter packet contribution (for the Astounding award) and damn, her writing is very full of of-the-moment cost of living crisis anxieties. I'm curious about Linghun, the Nebula novella winner.

For the first time ever, I actually managed to finish all novels on the Hugo ballot. It helps that I read three of the entries last year so it wasn't such a heavy load at this time (also helps that one of the finalists was basically a puffball with no substance).
I posted it above, but here's my final ranking:
Best Novel
1. The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera
2. Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
3. Translation State by Ann Leckie
4. The Adventure of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty
5. Witch King by Martha Wells
6. No Award
(7. Starter Villain by John Scalzi)
I enjoyed most of them, I'd be happy with most of them winning, but I really do think The Saint of Bright Doors was the most "special", new, and thought-provoking of them all. I keep interchanging Translation State and Amina between spot 3 and 4 -- they're basically tied as fun adventures without that extra bit to truly stand them apart, but I did really appreciate the freshness of Chakraborty's Horn of Africa/Indian Ocean setting for a fantasy. Lastly, Starter Villain doesn't belong on the ballot IMO.

3. Seeds of Mercury
4. The Mimicking of Known Successes
5. Life Does Not Allow Us to Meet
I have to read 'Mammoths at the Gates', but I haven't especially liked the 1st volume, therefore I guess it will end up 4-5

I skipped through The Saint of Bright Doors and am trying to decide if I want to go back and/or count it as read. I have better things to read, I think. But I am on the list for the next book that is coming out by this author.
I just could not get interested.

I almost finished with my Best Novels category read. Just realized Translation State is only excerpt (boo!) and I might do another DNF with Some Desperate Glory idk. Not interested with Starter Villain (or anything Scalzi).
I wish I have time to read the Astounding samples or even Best Editor Long Form but no time.

1. Spiderman: almost perfect
2. Nimona: loved it. Kinda curious about the graphic novel version since it was a nominee too
3. Barbie: cool OST, America Ferrera's speech was iconic but the movie was a bit too long
4. The Wandering Earth 2 : really enjoyed the acting of one of the actors.
5. Dungeons and Dragons: almost DNF
Haven't watched Poor Things. I haven't even heard of it before.
