Confess your literary sins.

  • I ended a line of dialogue with a double exclamation point and I'm not changing it

  • the second draft of my manuscript had 849 em-dashes in it

  • I mentally swap the races of characters in Golden Age sci-fi to make it more interesting for the modern audience (me)

  • I make fun of audiobooks, but I actually just can't concentrate on them. :marseynouautism:

I read Ready Player One and actually kind of enjoyed it.

100% not as bad as people say. The protag actually has to change and suffer some, which really isn't true in the movie. Also introduced me to the song 2112 which was pretty cool

I think the main reason this is hated is that it frontloads a couple of its worst passages: the one where he rants about how the world is terrible and God isn't real, and the epic catalogue of all the slop he consoomed. After that intro, a lot of people won't have much patience to look past later, smaller bits of cringe; or notice how the protagonist changes.

I've heard the sequel is much worse, but I haven't read it.
