nothing in the world more satisfying than hopping onto goodreads for a book you hate and reading all the 2* and 1* reviews where people speak with unbridled virtiol and act as if a book personally wronged them. it personally wronged ME!!!!!!

#(nodding wisely at everything the reviewers say like they're the ones in my class)#coetzee meet me in the parking lot. i can take you (NONSEXUAL)#(NEEDS TO BE STATED)#YES I UNDERSTAND THE PERSPECTIVE OF A FLAWED CHARACTER. HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DISLIKEABLE AND I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DISGUSTED #NO YOU CANNOT DISGUISE YOUR OWN MISOGYNY AND RACISM BY CLAIMING THAT YOU'RE CRITICISING IT. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN HIDE #PARTICULARLY IF YOU ALSO DON'T MAKE MEANINGFUL CRITICISMS ON UNCOMFORTABLE TOPICS YOU INTRODUCE???#also your characters do NOT act like people. fuck off. biggest sin is that the book is boring #i don't care about how metatexual and astonishing your writing is if you've shown that you cannot accomplish the surface level shit #okw back to work
