“If Bethan can’t be fine, better she be dead. If Bethan can’t be herself, better she be nothing at all.”

“He has driven now for two days…” You have two hands, you useless woman.

I’m becoming a prose snob, but I just don’t understand why everyone is now using the “Simple sentence. Simple sentence. Simple sentence. Simple clause, conjunction, simple clause.” style of writing. It’s annoying.

So, where is the creepiness? The scares? This book feels written as a movie.

Kind of want everyone to just die…

Misogynistic crap. I get it dude 🙄

“Too warm. God, I sound like one of those idiot college girls who only fall for bad guys, women who wouldn’t give a nice guy the time of day. But I married one, dammit. I’m married to one. I’m sorry, Bela.”

Who tells her 8 year old this? Also, I can smell the cliché misogyny, holy fuck.

Dude should have written the divorce book. This is so uninspired.

If Bela says Daddo one more time I’m ending myself.

Look, I have been around kids this age and younger recently, they don’t talk like this. This is awful.

Jumping on this because of the movie… Then I saw my friend’s stars 💀 holy shit.

A lot of this stuff hits too close to home/family BUT it feels really bloated.

Still can’t write prose and still writing childish adults I see… at least it’s not offensive yet, just bad.

Trying to stick with a book but nothing really holds my attention.

Actual worldbuilding with potential, but this awful, awful prose it’s holding it back.

“Fi had started charging her own capsules at age twenty-five, after a bootleg one exploded and nearly took her eyebrows off. She spent too much time sculpting those eyebrow.”

Ficking marvel nonsense…

Yes, I get it, she’s quirky and millennial

“. Her mascara: knife-sharp against smoky eyeshadow. Her weapons: on bold display, the metal hilt of an energy sword at her belt”

Kill me. I miss the Siri book.

An utter "pendejada," but I can't give it 1-star when UTOT and similar Korean webnovels exist.

Este libro es una PENDEJADA. There is not another word to describe it.

I can’t believe this is not satire…

The footnotes are stupid, sorry.

Buddy hate read let’s gooo

“You was the quietest thing. Your auntie Vivian, she thought somethin’ might’ve been wrong with you, considerin’.” “Considerin’ what, Ma’ammy?” Jude would ask, hopeful for a scrap of something from her mother’s mind”

It’s quite obvious why her “mother” dislikes her.

“Jude certainly felt naive when she bowed to pray to her mother’s god, as silly as a little girl wishing on shooting stars, dandelions. What could he give her that hadn’t already been denied? Strength? Resilience? Mercy, maybe, if such a thing existed.”

“The man, now alone, let his mind and spirit wander free. He left the room as his first name, Dormir, as sleep.”

That’s not a word we use for names! This is just silly, he really said I’m gonna name myself as a verb.

Not vibing with this writing style

“Outbreaks of the “fire” were common in the medieval era. Between 990 and 1130, an estimated 50,000 people are suspected to have died from the disease in southern France alone.”

So, where are the Romantasy fans who whine, cry and throw up about “realism” in their shitty “medieval fantasy”? Huh? They should add this too.

“tissues begin to die from a lack of blood and oxygen, developing a “dry” form of gangrene that begins as a tingling in the extremities and can advance to the point where limbs literally start falling off.”

Fungi are something else. Love them to be honest (they make for good horror 😭)

Kuang being like *that* wasn’t on my bingo card but… yeah.

“I was supposed to be delicate, fragile, intuitive, personal, introspective. I wanted to claim the public world of action, not the private world of feelings.
My ambition was perceived as megalomaniacal—in the wrong sphere, demented by prior definition.“
