#can we get some character-driven books for once? i'm so tired of tropes driving the plot
Text
I've really revolutionized my reading habits by sticking to the following rules:
If a new book has over a 4.5 rating on Goodreads, it's probably bad.
If Booktok is going insane over it, it's probably bad.
#i would like the hours of my life back that i spent reading the love hypothesis#and any other bad fanfiction turned bad not-quite-original fiction#sarah j maas also owes me like 12 hours over 2 books#it's so discouraging writing romance when stuff that is Objectively Bad Writing is what's getting popular#can we get some character-driven books for once? i'm so tired of tropes driving the plot#because that means psychological realism goes out the window#so much time crafting perfect book boyfriends when they need to spend that time crafting a good female protagonist#like i get that people want to be able to project themselves on wet cardboard protags like feyre and olive and bella swan#but that doesn't mean you have to write these hoes without a shred of personality!#no nuance no complexity we die like fucking idiots
