I cannot really understand this trend of extremely wordy posts about books that you know are terrible. yes there are a lot of crap scifi/fantasy series out there, they are better left unread

I know you're being a little sarcastic here, but I think it's extra special when the bad fantasy is this bad.

special how? its self published fantasy written by a child what do you expect. are you next going to find the crayon scrawlings of some 5 year old and write 20000 words about how its a bad drawing?

It's like walking into a room filled with vomit and there somehow being one corner of it that's more disgusting than the rest of it.

right... so using your own metaphor, if you walk into a room full of vomit, why wouldn't you just turn around and walk back out? why would you deliberately find the most disgusting corner and play around in it?

And the truth is, I like making fun of bad work, whether it's literary, musical, artistic, or whatever.

while thats not really my thing, I can at least understand the appeal of mocking something like Twilight or 50 Shades or whatever which are actual published books written by grown rear end adults advertised all over the place and big in pop culture.. but this is some obscure random self published stuff written by someone who is literally a child.

again, it just seems like picking apart some kids crayon drawings. I honestly have no idea how you would even come across it unless you go out looking for it which.. why?
