Why is /lit/ so vehemently against plot and narrative structure in their books? /lit/ is so idolatrous towards prose to the point that they might want all the words to be broken down in phonemes than anything meaningful and at the same time, plot and story is seen as something wretched, as if the chaff to a wheat.

I believe the current state of reading, and books and literature, has something to do with this kind of attitude where aesthetics is championed above the substance. It’s like hating the pillar while admiring the embroidery. /lit/ feels like a microcosm of the rot and stagnation that has slowly captured literature starting from modernism to whatever we have now.
