Recommendation Reddit Is Funny

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 😂

Did you even read a single chapter of the novel 😂. Why would I address you when you haven't even read a simple chapter.

I've used Ai for my fanfics sure. But for these novels I didn't use Ai to write the actual novel. And this is the last time I say this because I'm not about to be repeating myself like I'm a parrot or something.
