author stating that "the repetitive thought of main character is totally intentional, because she's a genius" actually made the whole reading experience cringier😭
Not sure if anyone's ever said it but I will: authors, there's nothing wrong with writing "dark erotic" novellas/short stories. like literally nothing. no one is forcing you, as an author, to write 300/400/500+ page novels where the main plot is to get the MCs to bang it out as many times as possible with half-assed foreplay. You don't need a thru-line, you don't need to pad the story with fluff you don't want to write. I'm fucking begging at this point 😭😭 like, just...write the scene you want to write and then end it. make it an anthology of vaguely related adult situations like a PWP story on fanfic sites where each chapter is a different fandom. just have mercy on us i'm begging
Just have mercy on us made me lol. Seriously though.. They don't wanna be writers, they just wanna be horny and that's okay!! Just don't make it my problem
My theory is that the K.U. monetization model based on pages read is what's fueling this trend of long ass books that are empty. There's less incentive to cut things or be short if more written material means more pages turned
@@Stonedandbookish yeah, I know, I'm friends with a lot of indie writers that publish through amazon kkkkkkkk It's kinda sad that this coupled with the pressure to have a quick turnaround for constant productivity is leading for underdeveloped and unnecessarily verbose stuff that could be more fun with more time and editing.
GIRL I just started decorating a cake for my partner's birthday, I swear you post at the right time every time and it makes my day 178% better. Thank you as always for the amazing content❤ Btw they're turning 27 and the cake is Hot Wheels themed which I think is pretty based of me
43:57 I can't even wrap my head around how someone writes in such a repetitive way. Like, I've done turn brain off and just write drafts where I'm tired and next day I discover a handful of lines having repeat actions or words, BUT A WHOLE PARAGRAPH?? No judgment if that's how a draft looks, it's a draft for a reason, but this was published??? I can't believe you could endure reading this, I'd need to black/cross out the repeating for my brain to even comprehend whats being said (edit- 1:04:57 I had to double take any time you read excerpts, this feels like a first draft. The abandoned plot lines (the codes, no progress just a setup for plot to happen) and having key moments (dead sister, dead mom talk) connected by confusing or blurry means make be believe that over the "purposeful repetitive style of the main characters thoughts")
I'd be more forgiving to the book if the author just went "yeah, that's how I like to write, I know it's weird." but no, they tried to justify it, making it so much more obvious??
……”the air between them….stilled….dangerously….” that line absolutely broke my brain. “the air SIZZLED, sparked, heated, simmered, smoldered” was right!!! there!!!! maybe some of this repeating is like she types out every option she can think of and forgets to go back and pick the best one
What a coincidence! My cat tried to give me a conch piercing last night, too! He didn't manage to pierce all the way through, but it sure is surprising how often I accidentally bump the shell of my ear on an apparently daily basis! Ow. I hope your peircing heals up quickly, that pain sounds no fun.
I listen to your content at work and everytime I get so excited. Your humor is exactly the same as mine. Thank you so much for sacrificing your time by reading these books.
I’m actually kind of invested in this… but I know it’s just because of how good you are with storytelling and conveying the characters and that if I actually read the books I’d just be disappointed and mad at the writing LMAO.
So I’m quickly growing obsessed with you and your channel. I adore you. I also follow come from Natalie and Rachel so I totally get the inspiration but just know you’re killing it all your own too.
Also, I didn't catch where this book is set, but I can fully believe it was eagles and not vultures. I grew up on the aleutian chain, and bald eagles are pests. The dump was always swarmed with eagles and ravens.
There is quite literally NOTHING that annoys me more in writing than phrases repeated throughout a book. I had to drop a book I was otherwise really enjoying, because ALL of the characters kept saying something, and then following it up with "...well," and it drove me up the WALL. Hearing it being done on purpose is actually, somehow, even more insanity inducing.
I have so many compliments to offer you. First off, you're really pretty and I thought you should know that. Secondly, I really like your mix of make-up and commentary in this video. Thirdly, I love the captions you have been recently putting in your videos. Sometimes it takes me a moment to process what someone has said (which usually causes me to have to rewind videos bcs slowing them down is annoying) but having captions there makes it sm easier.
I have a degree in computer science, and after my education, I don’t think I’ve ever said the phrase “they really knew computers,”that’s just so… vague. It’s really not that hard to find a woman in tech who would want to beta read, especially when your main character is supposed to be a programmer 😭😭
Do you think RuNyx realized their FMC’s name was dangerously close to “moron”? Prolly not, but it’s v ironic, considering how high her IQ is supposed to be.
Omg i noticed the nose piercing right away! And went wait has she always had one and I’ve never noticed, but no it’s new! It’s so so cute, it suits you really well. I wanted my conch pierced so bad but now im worried its gonna hurt so bad
Thank you!! The conch is a loooot better today (4 days post piercing), I think it's cute enough to be worth the pain lol. But if you do decide to get one - just know you can hear the cartilage pierced. it's so freaky/loud. It's like 100x louder than getting any other cartilage spot pierced.
Girl I have been waiting for this! I started listening to it on spotify but I'm guessing you uploaded it too early 😂😂 This is gonna keep me company for a few hours while I wait out the storm that's about to hit the UK!
It's from @occasionallysubtle on Instagram! They have an entire pokemon/lit series - a tale of two skittys, Jane eevee, when you give a munchlax a cookie, goodnight munna, etc. I'm obsessed with their art
it's such a huge problem with these dark romances that even though they're often meant to be some kind of fraught enemies to lovers thing, it's really just instalove in disguise. they're always two people who are immediately mutually obsessed who just sort of arbitrarily pretend to hate each other, but without any of the actual conflict that makes enemies to lovers fun! and like i'm a friends to lovers diehard but i swear this isn't just my bias, nobody in this booktok space knows how to actually write characters FALLING IN LOVE! also hang on, i recently read blood of hercules (hated it in the extreme) and the bizarre comment at the beginning about how she repeats phrases and hammers stuff in over and over "due to her high iq" is putting some stuff together for me, because that's also a huge huge problem with that book. where did this trope or excuse or whatever come from??
also i just have to add, obviously the sex trafficking plotline is like a terrible thing, but is there a single mob that isn't involved in some kind of sex trafficking? i know the 'good guys' can't also be doing that shit because we still have to root for her to get together with the mmc but that's standard operation for a lot of organized crime, and the targets of trafficking are virtually always the most vulnerable people in society so all the bullshit with tristain's sad dead sister backstory feels really ignorant, like women in the suburbs scaring themselves about high level sex crimes that statistically will never affect them instead of educating themselves and helping people...
I can't imagine choosing to explain in the disclaimers why a character is repeating the same phrases like she's a damn broken record, and choosing to NOT warn readers about the mentions of trafficking children. Glad to know where the authors priorities were 💀
I did fact check the eagle mention, and it turns out that eagles can be opportunistic scavengers sometimes! Except I'm 99% sure they don't act exactly like vultures and I don't have enough confidence in the author to know this fact.
im only like 13 minutes in and while it technically is true that eagles will eat carrion if available, itd make more sense if it was a combination of vultures and eagles. i think itd also be less obnoxious if the narrator didnt come outright and say that theres probably more than one body. just mention the sheer amount of carrion birds and let the audience draw their own conclusions, frankly its not a hard one to come to
This is so very much bad PWP fanfiction, the repetitions to emphasize meaningless moments, the pretend plot, the overly dark broody organized crime hunk, the character motivations being absent or whack, the focus on the ORBS™, even the "bone apple tea" moments where someone has heard an expression before, but only has a vague recollection and goes "eh, they'll know what I mean" instead of looking it up... So sorry you had to put yourself through this!
Not even 7 minutes in and I'm dying. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but in Batman there is a Mafia gang/family or whatever name the maroni and I'm losing it. My hyperfixation indirectly referenced in the wild?! (/Silly) That's crazy
I JUST started your video, and I’m already annoyed with the author. No one, NO ONE, should be using something like IQ to justify repetitive writing. Clearly I need to strap tf in 😭
1:15:08 ugh the second hand embarrassment of her acting like a child on his bike is so cringe. Also the cat and dog thing. She said he never talks if other ‘humans’ are in the room, adding she’s not sure if that extends to cats and dogs.
If you wanna do a 3rd person pov for your story and your protagonist is Very Intelligent and need an example to see how it's done... like.. Dune is right there! Not saying its perfect, but it does grapple with Really Smart characters from a 3rd person pov
I am currently working on an undergrad degree in data analytics!! And the more ive learned about computers going through this the more i realize how badly media portrays coding/computers 🙄 its frustrating hahahaha
Okay I get it. It’s ‘erotica with plot’ basically. But can a single one of these women not have a shred of agency? I get why protective men are hot, I think it’s hot to feel like someone has your back, but there’s not a single one of these books where a woman isn’t basically held against her will by her love interest for the sake of “NO ONE HURTS YOU (NICKNAME)”
I get sent a lot of PR offers for romance ARCs and I'm usually open to reading almost anything, but RuNyx is one of the authors whose writing is so bad and boring that I don't accept any of the offers for free books lol. This video just reaffirmed my position because oh my god it's so bad???
I'm only in the 3-7, and what is with these books and having the male love interest having no redeeming qualities, their 'charisma' is just misogyny, but don't worry they are a sex god, like maybe this is a straight fantasy I'm too queer to understand, I wouldn't even like this trope if it was a buff women, and I allow buff women in fiction to get away with almost anything.
Thank you for going through all of this for us… Oof, this one was so underwhelming. I understand books that prioritise characters and their relationships over plot, but, in this one, all of them just suck? lmao
Idk if you like mlm but I just had to tell u about this book. It’s called The Malevolent Heir by Avery Scarlett and it was actually one of the worst books I’ve ever read but I couldn’t put it down 😭 the thing that’s the funniest abt it to me is I swear the actions make NO sense. So in one paragraph it’ll be like “he was leaning on the wall across the room “ and then without telling you he had moved closer, he’s suddenly right next to him. And it’s like that NONSTOP. One part said that he “fell down” but he was SITTING IN A CAR!!! Lmao idk if it was bc I was listening to the audiobook and I just missed things?? Not sure if it would be your vibe but it’s definitely a fun book to pick apart! (Dark mafia romance from what I can remember) oh also I think they’re like angels and vampires??? But they literally never explain how anything works it’s such a fun hot mess

Only cool kids have nose piercings (it's me, I'm cool kids). Welcome to the club. Re: the conch- I can't imagine a piercing hurting like a shin tat 😢 i have wrist and feet tattoos, and they were a LOT so. Yikes. Anyway, this video was perfectly timed to keep me awake to start my day. I am so sorry this book was so awful, though you (as always) keep it entertaining. If gifs were audio/had audio, your "what the fu*k?" reaction would be my top used one. If that makes sense. 😅 ❤ thanks again ❤❤❤
I can't imagine getting a foot tattoo, you're brave lol. Next week, I'm getting a second piece done on my shin that will wrap around my knee. I'm scared for that one, idk how people get their knees blasted 🤢 I totally understand the gif thing lmao, I'm flattered
@readrantreview lucky it was just lyrics ("Kick at the darkness" on right foot, "until it bleeds daylight" on left foot) so while insanely painful, it was over fast. Sending luck on the shins/knees. I don't have anything on my legs yet. 😩 I'm glad you got it 🤣
This book seems so... weirdly heterosexual?? Like i mean that in a deragatory sense.
I have to agree, it's just something that I, as a gay person, cannot understand. What is it with Mafia stories? Idk, not for me I guess
this is exactly how i feel about 90% of books popular on booktok
I thought the same… Are the straights okay?
author stating that "the repetitive thought of main character is totally intentional, because she's a genius" actually made the whole reading experience cringier😭
“it just was” is a perfect phrase to sum up this book. like yes girl give us nothing!!
Her name being "moron-a" is making sense
"it's by the airport, next to the runway, and it's very quiet there" girl WHAT
Has author ever been close to an airport in their life???????
Exactly!! I grew up like 10-15 minutes from LAX, and it was LOUD

It was so freaking hard to get through 😭 super weird move by the author to say it was that way on purpose.
It reminds me of the very overly dramatic vents I wrote when I was like 15 and thought that lots of repetition sounded deep and poetic. lol
……”the air between them….stilled….dangerously….” that line absolutely broke my brain. “the air SIZZLED, sparked, heated, simmered, smoldered” was right!!! there!!!!
maybe some of this repeating is like she types out every option she can think of and forgets to go back and pick the best one
Lmao that's such a good point. Instead of seeing what stuck, she just left it all out there. First draft = best draft ig
funny as hell to have a "genius" main character and giving her a name with "moron" in it phonetically.
THANK GOD I thought this Friday was gonna last forever but now I've got something to help me through it!! Love your stuff girl!! ❤️❤️❤️

First time catching one of your videos and I’m definitely subscribing to catch more 😊
This whole book is making me pause, scream the inconsistencies to my husband, and continue. I have paused over ten times and I’m about 30 mins in.
I think the one thing we are all wondering is WHY, WHY WHY WHY WHY? WHHHHY?
Hearing my name is a jump scare every time. Also, that spelling is diabolical.

You have no idea 🫠
i’m convinced there is no research done into organized crime before these books are written
1:15:08 ugh the second hand embarrassment of her acting like a child on his bike is so cringe. Also the cat and dog thing. She said he never talks if other ‘humans’ are in the room, adding she’s not sure if that extends to cats and dogs.
why do contemporary romance authors pick the most nonthreatening names? This psycho killer is just a dude called Tristan lol

I totally understand the gif thing lmao, I'm flattered
@readrantreview lucky it was just lyrics ("Kick at the darkness" on right foot, "until it bleeds daylight" on left foot) so while insanely painful, it was over fast. Sending luck on the shins/knees. I don't have anything on my legs yet. 😩
I'm glad you got it 🤣
I just want you to know I am gagged by your makeup in every video
this is so. it sure is a book huh.
1:24:01 ok. So why doesn’t she make something up?
YAYYYY !!!
You want a good broody sad boy who stands up for women? Read Paladin's Grace.😊
Had this on in the background but when I heard Maroni I LOCKED IN (I'm a whore for Batman)
I actually hated this book so bad
Whattttttt
This was such a stupid plot, I wasn’t even entertained 🫠
