honestly kinda interesting how many books people tagged in that "books with no editor" post are tor.com titles. Cause like at least from my experience, a decent amount of tor.com (a subset of the general Tor) books are more "experimental"/"nontraditional" in their writing styles or plot structure or just focus in general (compared to other tradpubbed sff at least) in ways that seem to be pretty hit or miss for people (based on average ratings on goodreads and just how I've seen people talk about them on instagram and stuff) but I've found i tend to really like them

#like nghi vo's non-novellas trend to have really mixed reviews #bc a lot of people don't like how they don't explain certain things and how they don't follow traditional plot conventions #which like. totally valid to not vibe with #(tho tbh u could make a case about the ''traditional plot structure'' being a western one and stuff)#(but like i don't know enough about east asian traditional plot structure to be the one to make the case for if vo's books fit those)#but like i personally am like can i get these books in injectable form actually?#similar with taste of honey by kai ashante wilson #and others #books
