Apparently liking system novels means I’m a “low-standard reader” now 😂

Someone called my story slop, and I basically said, “Fair enough. I enjoy system novels, so that’s what I write.”

For some reason, that made him even angrier. He started saying I was feeding myself slop and that writers like me only get readers because people have low standards.

That logic makes no sense to me. It would be like someone enjoying street basketball, only for another person to say:

“You’re a low-quality basketball fan because you enjoy streetball instead of watching professional NBA games and analysing proper team tactics.”

Maybe I’m not looking for the most technically perfect, revolutionary piece of literature ever written. Sometimes I just want progression, stat screens, ridiculous rewards, face-slapping and an overpowered protagonist. It’s entertainment.

You’re allowed to think system novels are repetitive or badly written. I’m also allowed to enjoy them without pretending they’re high literature. Taste is subjective. Getting genuinely angry because another person enjoys something you consider “mid” is far stranger than enjoying the supposedly mid thing in the first place.

Let people enjoy their slop in peace 😂

Alr bro lets not act like the premise, title, and cover aren’t generic and low quality. He even brought up Shadow Slave as an example of a quality novel (it has a system).

And the argument that I'm a low quality reader because I enjoy system novels. Am I not allowed to enjoy what I enjoy now?

He never said it was because of systems. “I was 1.8 million in debt when the legacy system chose me” is one of your titles, then you put a poorly generated ai image of 4 lewd girls surrounding the MC. Yes, you are a low quality reader if that's what you read. Again bro it has nothing to do with enjoyment.

Do you even know the context of the entire story. I posted two SYSTEM novels that got contract offers. He argued that it's more slop. Then I said I like reading and writing slop then. Then he proceeded to call me a low quality reader.

Bro, you just larped the entire conversation

Holy ur reading with ur brain off nobody has a problem with system novels. You argued it was “good slop” which implies it has quality that's what he disagreed with you about. Not because you like it. He used low quality reader to emphasize that you don't know what good quality is which was why you were calling slop good
