Reply to comment by silverandamericard in Question about chapters titled with a person's name and first person narrative. by Ginaccc
Another old example is Brothers Karamazov, although it was a tad later. Dostoyevsky is a bit less rigid with the POVs but they’re definitely distinct enough

Agreed re learned skill. I think most people pigeonhole themselves saying so and so doesn’t vibe with them, but it’s likely that their brain is just new to it and needs to habituate
That said, I can’t hang onto an audio narrative to save my life and it would likely take a lot of practice to do so

You need to post it on a writing sub. Not a book sub.

I just wanted to give an attention grabber. I don't want to spoil the ideas I have for anything further or the ending I have plans for.

I mean this isn't really a plot. I guess it could be a good inciting incident but you'd need to probably give us more of the story before we can give any solid feedback regarding it's quality.

Reply to comment by medsmthng in There's a book for every problem. If only people would read! by medsmthng
Wow.
Your comments read really ableist, privileged and insensitive.
You don’t know what people need to help them.
Suggesting someone with severe disabilities a book that is basically ‘just get over it and be happy - you actually haven’t lost anything’ is rude and entitled.
Books are no guarantee of fixing anything.

Reply to Just read Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott and it may just be the single most eye opening book I’ve ever read by sashanktungu
this book gave me the context to understand the idea that an object casts a shadow one dimension less than itself- as in a 3d object casts a 2d shadow, a 2d object casts a 1d shadow- a 4d object casts a 3d shadow. makes my brain hurt in a good way!

Reply to comment by BestCatEva in Our Wives Under the Sea is the BEST book I've read in a long time and I just wanna talk about it by Starlit-Sage
If it’s that short, I can squeeze it in my reading pile. I’ve been intrigued by the premise. But I didn’t think I would have the time.

Why put anyone through something that looks like it was written when you had an aneurysm? Unless they're a masochist I can't imagine it would be a good time.

If your book is written anything like your post, keep it to yourself and go back to English class to learn the basics.

I felt the same way! I too have mixed feelings with the book but I really liked Harry. His relationship with Evelyn was the most memorable and my favorite part of the book. >!I was literally sobbing at the part where she was saying her final goodbye to him on at the hospital!<
BBVIP21 t1_jabo6nu wrote
I agree that it’s a well written book! It was difficult for me to read however because I felt a bit uncomfortable with the subject matter. I still managed to finish it and I thought the ending was fine.

You could post as an original work in AO3, I don't think you can import that big of a document into reddit(?? At least I think so. Not sure)

Ya idk if I will finish, maybe when I’m bored at work. Her writing style is just not my cup of tea.

I love the Bofuri anime as well. The books too are a lot of fun, but they get into a lot more details about the game mechanics and fights than the anime does, which may not appeal to everyone.

That entire book was such a let down for me. It was completely disjointed and all over the place even in terms of time line with the actual crime / events. Wish I had skipped that one. You are not alone in your feelings.
