i was thinking recently about how the focus on which fanfic tropes exist in original published books (like advertising a book as enemies to lovers!! slow burn!! etc) cuts out your need to engage with the story or care about the narrative in a meaningful way because you already know whats going to happen so youre not really learning anything from it yk?

#the sort of low energy immediate gratification emphasis is grating #even with like a beach read or fluff novel dont you want it to like. go somewhere...? or hold something surprising?#or say something interesting?#idk im a hater lol #kiwi.txt #not to mention its been said a million times but like... ok? whats the setting? the genre?#it basically just makes those things an afterthought idk
