Yes.

It encouraged me to develop my own mini Goodreads in my native language, from which all sorts of skills were worked on and develped (programming, designing, content creation, etc.). I had these skills before, but working on my own project on my own had a huge impact. Not to mention all the great people I was able to meet because of it.

It encouraged me to read only in English which drastically improved my English communication skills (I was super afraid of English before and since I didn't get books I wanted in my native language I had to read in English).

It helped me go through tough times. Multiple times in my life. At last, it gave me a spark of happiness, hope, and some other feelings I was almost sure I won't ever be able to feel again.
