Just saw a self-published author complaining about someone leaving a rude comment on her ad & fretting that ‘it might deter people from reading the book’… girl if they’re anything like me, it absolutely won’t. I love fucked up storylines, I love unlikeable characters, I love toxic romances and I love when a book is straight up nasty
#like apologies to the purity crowd who shit their pants whenever a narrator is a thoroughly awful person but i’m different#i live for that shit. give me a bunch of horrible people and let me watch them be horrible to each other#it’s like when the coworker you dislike gossips about other people you either don’t know or also dislike. give me More#earlier a blogger i usually respect reviewed a book i like & said they dnf’ed it because the characters were so dislikeable and they ‘didn’t#think they were supposed to be’. they absolutely were not supposed to be likeable. you’re supposed to hate everyone in that book#aside from Maybe the courtesan. it’s basically fanfiction based on a classic and the whole gimmick is that the author of the original novel#got all the events wrong and ‘here’s what actually happened’…. from the perspective of an utter bastard who faked his own death#like i understand wanting to read about characters you can root for but there’s something really compelling about a character study#of someone who is pretty much irredeemable#anyway. back to my original point; but a review saying ‘this book is an abomination against god’ honestly will get me to read the book#like i should hope it fucking Is an abomination. what will i do with it if it’s not#personal
