whew, people get heated over their fav booktok book.
#memorie.txt
#once you’ve read more you’re more willing to admit that you love a kinda poorly written book
#by god i love jackaby. the writing style is a solid 3/5 and the plot stuff is cheesy as hell.
#you get a better frame of reference for ‘this book requires an award’ style of good
#and a ‘god this is so my dumb little niche that scratches all those weird little itches nobody else has’ style of good
#one of my fav series is the ghost and the goth!! is it good?? i don’t know if i’d go that far!!
#is it fun and does it make me think of trysi / chryzure stuff??? yes :)
#i’m beginning to wonder abt ppl rabid abt their fav books. anyway this one person was losing their shit over ppl liking apollo
#and aurora and i’m an aurora shooter but i digress
#they were foaming at the mouth and im like Well. its a little not that serious .
#he is letters on a page. and also mostly irrelevant to the story as a whole so im kinda confused as to why ppl feel so strongly abt him
#it’s funny because most of my complaints stem from an outside pov
#where i critique the worldbuilding / plot work / character writing and its inconsistencies
#whereas ppl assume im encouraging villainy irl. it is quite seriously more that the villainy is unmotivated
#or otherwise poorly done. i love to hate a good villain if the proper legwork is put into it
#because i like observing how others work their craft!!!
#but my irritation with stephanie is that she doesn’t work her craft well. it’s shoddy craftsmanship full of retcons or
#convenience required for plot that otherwise hold no reasoning in the story
#and i can admit that i find the series unsatisfying because it’s marketed as a romance (the romance had little chemistry that could be
#understood by anyone that’s not straight. straight romances are always laziest because it’s the ‘norm’ so that equates to chem)
#and also it was marketed as having plot when rlly the ‘plot’ was trying to put these characters in weird chemistry-less situations together
#so yeah i’ll complain abt the villains being jealous shallow archetypes when it could’ve had depth.
#i’ll complain abt a lot. but in the end it’s a silly basic ya romance series that isn’t anything unique
#most unique stories will not be found on booktok. i’m sorry
#i can show you the beautiful world of horror novels though!
#or weird lil 80s fantasy novels that are actually quite long that my dad likes showing me
#truly no romance novel will be better than the darkangel trilogy though.. that is what stephanie wanted to write.
#but that’s lightning in a bottle ithink.
#okay anyway. good night. i worked a long day and i have appts in the morning
