it's interesting how i'm willing to forgive HUGE continuity/consistency/coherency errors if a book has a pedal-to-the-metal, balls-to-the-wall, bro-i've-just-done-so-many-drugs-get-in-the-fucking-car kinda vibe

but if a book is merely "pretty good" and "pretty normal" but commits one-too-many subtle continuity errors i get irate

#i have no problem with soft scifi masquerading as hard scifi.#lots of stuff i like in that wheelhouse #but hnnngh AUTHOR you're telling us your protagonist finished her phd a year before meeting her husband #when on page 40 you clearly state the protagonist met her husband 3 years *before* finishing her phd #DETAILS PEOPLE. this subtly yet materially changes things ahgleiah #(okay this may be a straw-camel's-back situation. the uh. the scifi aspects are also kinda inconsistently thought out)#anyway i'll forgive philip k dick literally everything because that dude is like Quantity Over Quality Babey and i'm here for it
