LISTEN ok im feeling chatty today. the worst thing abt recommendations in general as a whole is that it really feels like folks dont really. know what makes a recc good. like, compositionally.

you can say all you want about 'it has good rep' or 'was made by so-and-so' and 'its so popular all my friends are reading it' but like. grabbing th sides of your head. WHY though. 'good rep' applies to so many things, and not all of them are fun. 'made by so-and-so' means Nothing even if i Do somehow know who that is. popularity means jack shit. what IS it though?

are the characters interesting? the dynamics? the worldbuilding? how is it written? stylized? is it a context-heavy detail-oriented narrative or is it driven by feeling and bond? will it make me laugh? cry? think? what is happening and Why? why does it matter? why should i care? i Want to care!

you can show me as many 'oh this was sooo good' or 'love this series' or 'read this right now's as you want, but it doesnt tell me what im Looking at. what is there to enjoy about it? WHY do you like it? this isnt solely a 'i need to know if ill like it' thing either-- i Want to hear about why things affect people! How it changed you, How you see it.

where is the love in it? i want to see it too. show me.
