A bit curious since from what I saw the glossary section is empty in most stories I read.
As for me I have used it for most stories of mine so far.

I will definitely begin to use it once I've reached a milestone in the story

I love Using glosary, but sometimes it take time to set up. I usually just put character name (or illustration if there's is) and be done with it.

I used it before but it takes too much time to organise and edit info, and I still had to prompt readers to check out the glossary for more info in footnotes, so i just use footnotes to add extra info now

If your novel has a lot of characters. It is nice to remind about them there. Or if you are a LitRPG novel, I would say that it is practically essential.

I threw some terms in there early on but have let it fall behind. It's a neat feature.

I had such good intentions!

I think it would be genuinely useful for anyone reading mine - I’ve a large active cast, some pretty abstract concepts in the worldbuilding, and a shamefully sporadic release schedule - but I’ve not given it enough love and attention.

Once I get to the (rapidly approaching) end of my book’s second act I’ll have a serious think about if I should either rewrite my glossary from scratch or ditch it altogether.

Using it and updating it with each chapter, but I still have no idea if even a single reader saw it. I wish there was a view counter there as well, I don't want to beg for comments about it or do a poll.
