“I like reading [X] because [Y]” ≠ “I like reading every single version of [XY] without any other preferences, standards, or selectivity.” What even.
#eg: i like reading spyfic because it often deals with issues of identity#i also think that if you can’t or won’t write geopolitics astutely then your spy fiction will inevitably be kinda mediocre at best#in a similar way that SFF with weaksauce worldbuilding is mediocre at best. the narrative stakes have no context or grounding#this doesn’t mean i’m *not* here for the identity stuff. it means i am *also* here for the well-executed political intrigue!#anyway vagueblogging ig but like. you can be after multiple things in a reading experience. this is why reading recs are a personal thing#reading tag#spies#my posts
