#this really does go back to judging a percentage of women for reading romance

I remember when my friend, who loves ya fantasy, started reading 6 of crows bc of me and they struggled cause it opens with made up words and concepts in fake dutch. and soc is a spinoff of so it never goes in depth explaining anything like. i love the series and i hate booktok but that girl was set up by the people recommending it. probably not an ask to publish but i just didnt see anyone else who thought she was done dirty and i was about accept insanity in my life until i saw your post lol

was it fake dutch? i saw one episode of the netflix show and it looked like it borrowed a lot fm like, the soviet union?? (the costumes looked like it was inspired by russian in late 1800's-early 1900's).

i dont even think she was necessarily set up (looks like it tho) bc i went on her account and she does read ya fantasy-ROMANCE. so, its not even a genre issue. i honestly think the writing style did not vibe with her. and that happens. not every writing style is going to be liked.

ppl have seen her video and tore her to shreds, luckily it seems like she doesn't care. but her later on critiques (bc she tried to continue reading it on her kindle) are valid. she just didnt like it. and some ppl have said that 'its the way her video is worded'--okay um she's not a journalist or a professional critic. she literally just talks about what shes reading to her camera phone and posts it. ppl went after her bc of the book AND bc her tagline bio on her account says that 'if its not smut, i wont read it' indicating she mostly only reads romance. and that egged ppl on.

reading one genre is neither good nor bad. its just a preference. ya fantasy isnt the pinnacle of literature imo. but it exists and im fine with it. (im just not gonna read it).

it's just me and you and one other person on tiktok that think she was done dirty. everyone else is still on her ass even tho she's moved on.
