Moving forward I am on a mission to prioritize physical media where I can

Sick of needing a license for access to things and no guarantee that the media I want access to will be there a year from now

It's why I have stopped buying physical books for most things I read. Unique thoughtful covers ONLY, everything else from the libby app

These AI book cover generator has all of these fantasy novels looking the same

ENOUGH

A lot of these stories used to live in those places

I've always been a big fiction reader too and one of my majors was English lit. People been weird and horny in literature since forever see the Wife of Bath in The Canterbury Tales.

Me personally, I'm a big fantasy fan with a romance subplot

I mostly am tired of the criticism of how certain genres are being spoken about right now

Monster Romance is not new. I been online long enough to remember the message boards/forum and fanfic sites.

Self publishing is why people FEEL that quality of writing has reduced.

The discourse in any niche-interest community comes from people failing to understand that motivations, how and why engagement is happening will differ greatly.

e.g. Booktok
Read what you like. Not everyone's goals in reading are the same, especially with fiction

It's one of my reading quirks, either give me standalones or completed series
November 17, 2024 at 2:33 AM
I thought I was starting a completed trilogy and just learned that the last book comes out on Dec. 31 (which feels like a placeholder date and I fear it might get pushed back) and I now I have lost interest in finishing the 2nd book
