Thus far, the world-building is actually very serviceable (not necessarily « never done before », incredibly original and unphatomable, but certainly fine) and the writing is also very decent! Not « heartbreakingly gorgeous » quite yet, but MILES BETTER than the the average published fanfic (because SenLinYu always had decent prose). I’m tentatively hopeful?

“Love is a possible strength and an actual weakness. Mariage transforms a distraction into a support, the power of which should be — and happily often is, in direct proportion to the degree of imbecility it supplants.”

They’re ridiculing the Idylls of the King; these people are tasteless brutes!

What the fuck has these bitches done to Jonah?

Am so nit there tor the Allan’s redemption arc I’m not gonna lie

“Bunny… I whispered sadly”

This dickless man in finance type

A bitch? From Jane ? Oh the treat!

I will literally never finish this fucking book.

Is Catherine Moorland the anti-Anne Elliot? Yes. Am I THOROUGHLY enjoying Northanger Abbey ? Most definitely!! That’s it! I get the Jane Austen hype now!!

That romance is liable to make me end it all

Agnès Grey: I am such a good Christian and better than everyone else!

Also Agnès Grey: Disobeys her employer and lets her teenage pupil ruin herself because she is convinced she has better judgment than everyone else.

Everyone else: Wow you suck.

Agnès Grey: I am so misjudged and mistreated by these entitled rich people >:(

On my forever quest to finally like Marguerite Duras

Agnes Grey is in a competition against other (actually interesting) Brontë sisters’ characters to be the most boring, sanctimonious one and she is winning by a landslide. Jane Eyre looks like a bungee jumping, radical intersectional feminist and anarchist rogue in comparison…

Like homegirl is pulling a 6 years old’s hair ? Wtf

Agnès Grey : How dare the (average) unruly 6 years old scream when I physically abuse them ? What a terrible, horrible child !

I-

Homegirl has been working for literally under 24h and she’s already complaining and seeing the worst of her employers… So much for her “kind, cheerful character”

My god these people are INSUFFERABLE. “You cobweb, a pinch annihilates you”

I wouldn’t say the original was particularly subtle, but this is kinda like deciding your hoover is already pretty loud, so you might as well use a zamboni to sweep your floor. No?

Will this book trigger the fuck outta me because she’s a privileged af ER doctor AND gets with a hot carpenter? It’s more likely than you think!

I love Elsinore so much

Being in the head of this goddamn prince is not the best ngl

Yk, I don’t know why everyone hates this annoying kid so much. Granted, if I didn’t audiobook it, I probably would have thrown myself off a bridge.
