They need to put “thrillers” for people who hate suspense in a separate category. They need to put a disclaimer after the summary thats like: “Although this premise may sound a little too exciting, fear not, gentle readers! This author will never let you wonder about the protagonist’s thought process for a single second. No part of the plot will occur off-page, and for those Sneaky Susans who like to use their little brains to figure out the mystery before the characters do— we’ve given you more than you need to figure it out. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy hundreds and hundreds of pages of meandering dully around a murder.”
#i want to SCREAM sometimes i hate feeling like I’ve been tricked by an exciting premise and glowing reviews#i would say these books are for babies but they have GORE its just splattered so thinly through the painfully slow narration#did you miss a plot point? don’t worry It’ll be repeated 3 or 4 times before it becomes relevant#and I’m not a snob i love a crazy shlocky thriller like i don’t need it to be GOOD i just need it to be NOT BORING#like the WHOLE POINT of a thriller is its THRILLING#its like. idk there must be romance novels where the characters have no chemistry. idk i don’t read those
