Have you ever read slop?

>>24531292 (OP)
Yes I have read jane Austin (all works) and I imagine myself as male character getting a good ending. I have imagined myself as Darcy chad countless times

>>24531292 (OP)
Why is her book cover backwards like that?

>>24531292 (OP)
Tons, but I am a woman. These porn rape books are written like the worst fanfiction you've ever read got an editor.
You should read the The Amityville Bukkake.
>>24531298
This is pretty cute, I won't lie. I don't think there anything wrong reading Jane Austen, it's "classics" at least. And then you can talk to your gf about them

>>24531306
>written like the worst fanfiction
Back in 2012 I wouldn't have throught the shit I read on FF.net would be printed. I even remember thinking that Fifty Shades of Grey was a fluke and not a precedent for the future. O tempora, o mores

>>24531306
>And then you can talk to your gf about them
Men who read Jane Austen don't have girlfriends, they have boyfriends

>>24531314
I haven't read 50 shades of grey but I can almost guarantee it is written like a fucking masterpiece compared to "Haunting Adeline" or "Breaking Rosalind."
But, then again, it was twilight fanfiction so. Maybe not.

It sucks. These women truly believe they're "readers" even when they're reading less sexually explicit ones. If reading is exercise of the mind, they are doing the equivalent of drinking and smoking nonstop.

>>24531304
It's the Arabic version

>>24531317
Oh my bad. Well he can talk to his boyfriend about it before he gets bregnant

>>24531319
Are they only allowed to read books in the mirror? I thought that was looking at women.

>>24531317
Why are you shaming me, I only read Austen because I am a failedcel in real life. It's just a cope for my lack of interaction with women, you won't get it. I am not proud of it either but it's world is so good, no women is slut or whore and after you put yourself as male character you feel really good.

>>24531298
I do the same except with ya/scifi/romantasy. I project myself onto the guy

>>24531292 (OP)
I'm halfway through pic related currently.

>>24531292 (OP)
Yes. Camus, Sartre, you name it.

>>24531292 (OP)
I read the Haruhi LNs. I got autistically fixated on them and read for 6-8+ hours straight, multiple days. It is incredible how long you can just read if there is basically no friction in the writing.

>>24531373
Alright listen here buddy, fuck YOU!

>>24531292 (OP)
Pic related is the most recent one that comes to mind. My probably-autistic cousin insisted that it was excellent and left it at my house, so I eventually read it in a fit of boredom. All I can remember is that the protagonist was a hyper-competent female teenage assassin.

>>24531292 (OP)
My mom used to take me to yard sales when I was a little kid and I amassed a collection of paperback cowboy slop.

>>24531292 (OP)
Stephen King, Murakami, GRRM

>>24531418
This. I can read Gravity's Rainbow for a sitting of about three hours and feel like I'm making no progress. Or I can blaze through two or three volumes of KonoSuba in the same amount of time.

I realized some slop book covers are very pretty and aesthetically please or the most ugly thing you've ever seen

I read chinkshit all the time. Don't do it, friends. I can barely read an actual book now. Anything not involving a genocidal immortal just bores me to tears. Help

>>24531292 (OP)
I have had a weird rotation thing going for as long as I can remember.

I read something classic or something one might consider to be 'real literature'. Once I finish it I read a slop romance novel, a light novel, or some Warhammer fiction before moving back to a classic again. Repeat.

I can clearly tell how different the writing styles are and roughly what constitutes a 'quality' read, but I can't help going back to the 'slop' to decompress and make comparisons. It's like a guilty pleasure but I enjoy reading both.

I've read the whole Jack Reacher series

>>24531478
Glass houses. Boys love slop more than girls. And this hyper competent teenage assassin gets fucked too.

>>24531292 (OP)
i've read the first three assassin's creed books as a kid, it was fun

>>24531418
Not slop

I am old and read every Star wars book made in the 90s, while they were still slop, the sloppification that started after the prequels came out killed the whole thing for me. At this point in my life I'm grateful.

>>24531292 (OP)
I read twelve 500+ page books of the Wheel of Time
when the 13th came out I realised I just didn't care

>>24531879
Better late than never.

I've read all ten The First Law books and I read comics.

>>24531292 (OP)
Yeah, i read 2 books of sanderson and 1 and a half book of Pierce brown.
Its amazing to me this shitty, predictable slop is so popular. Tik tok brain i guess

>>24531879
This was me with the tenth, too much time has passed since the ninth and I was completely lost. From what I've heard that was the series low point anyway.
In the future you'll just have crafted AI prompts to feed an llm and have it spit out scenes when you want them. I've been doing this all week with chatgpt and once you learn how to avoid it shutting down it'll provide you with an endless stream of smut, perfectly catered for your fetishes.

>>24531843
I'm not sure why you're getting defensive. I'm not a fan of inexplicably competent women regardless of which sex they're meant to appeal to.

>>24531879
I only made it halfway through book four. Child me just couldn't stand it anymore.

>>24531363
God these look awful
>>24531364
I have been dying to read these. Is the entertainment a 10?

>>24531517
These are perfect for kids though,.not slop at all.

>>24531292 (OP)
i used to read a lot of murakami

>>24531843
I feel like saying manga is slop because it isn't the same as reading an actual book is an unfair comparison. It's like saying TV is slop compared to radio or vice versa whatever.

>>24531923
Can you please help a peasant with chat GPT smut? Will it do rape fantasies?

>>24532294
Maybe if you ease it into it with "consent". That's like one of the big things it's not cool with, and it's hard to get it to describe actual sex in plain terms, it prefers to be vague but only just.

>>24531292 (OP)
read? I write slop.

>>24531306
"Porn rape books" dreadful. I read Hogg and that felt like an utter waste. Astounded how many actually read rape kink shit. Brain worms?

>>24531923
That's sad.

I read a bunch of Warhammer and cultivator stuff

>>24532559
It is sad, although I guess it probably won't replace liturature just like TV and films haven't, just one more distraction away from it. Although it's such a personalized distraction that it's worrying.

>>24532278
>I have been dying to read these. Is the entertainment a 10
I'd say it's about a seven, it's pretty sloppy but it has its moments. The names are creative.

They used to say *There's no accounting for taste*, meaning that people like what they like.
Contemporary published literature is yet another form of consumable, like hamburgers. Whether it be a literary prize or bookt0k fads, they cluster around certain themes and cover graphic design trends.
I imagine that so-called sl0p reflects back to the reader some *relatable* version of their fantasy view of themselves.
Prize *literature* either plays with form, tries to be *provocative* in content, or critiques social/ political systems.
Personally I have never been drawn to *fiction* where *characters* are described in terms of their physical attributes. But I realised long ago that I don't share the same enthusiasms as (most?) other people.

Where is the slop line?

>>24532520
That doesn't sound like every fantasy I have then.
>>24532526

>>24532544
It's because men have the testosterone of a 60 year old of the 1980s and they're all women now. So women think ooga booga if only Chad would rape me and be obsessed with me like Dracula. I say this as a woman.
>>24532610
Thank you for the honesty. I will binge then as a treat (when I want to turn my brain off)

>>24532289
Most manga that became popular in the west was originally aimed at children

>>24531292 (OP)
Yes, I've read The Alchemist

>>24531363
W*men will unironically read all this slopkino before picking up Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
