Sometimes I see someone describe a book/thing as 'character-driven' and I recognise it/go check it out and go 'bitch, what characters? Those bland cardboard cutouts who get bounced around by the plot?'

I'm seriously confused by your definition here

#books #bookish #bookblr #character focus #character driven #me being cranky #but also utterly confused and horrified #just because one character is hashtag relateable or quirky doesnt mean the whole thing is character driven #especially when they have zero growth or agency #and i say this as a person who loves character driven stuff because i keep getting completely terrible recs for it #looking at you murderbot
