Bro what is the verdict on tapping out of a book that may get better purely because it’s annoying
#library ebook so there’s no consequences if i just dnf & return it#but this shit is.. annoying#it was recommended as a disturbing short horror novella that ‘reads like a fever dream’ and i was all about that until i realised#it literally Does read like a fever dream. like. so far it feels like someone just transcribing their dream#like this is what would happen if i had better dream recall; wrote out one of my nightmares in detail and then later added in more stuff#and just lengthened it into a full book#and i’m really not a fan of dream sequences. like if i wanted to experience a nightmare i’d just have a boring day and then go to sleep#(i don’t know why but if i go to sleep anxious i just have a generic stress dream that doesn’t really bother me. but if i have a boring#and unstimulating day i will go to sleep and immediately have the worst night terrors known to man)#and like.. the occasional dream sequence in a book is nbd for me. but for damn near the WHOLE thing to basically be a dream??#i mean i know it’s (probably) not going to end with the classic ‘and she woke up and it was all a dream’ but it’s pretty heavily implied#to be one. and i’m just.. i’m not invested#it feels like the same things are happening over and over; the same punchlines. and there’s this one motif that i’m just like..#it doesn’t make any sense which is how i can tell it showed up in the author’s dream lol#it just is not the vibe. i was so hoping based on the synopsis of the book that this would go another way#but it isn’t. it’s not even scary because of it#i’m like…… girl i’m glad you got your night terror out on the page and owned it and made bank off of it but it isn’t actually fun to read#and i will be stopping now#personal
