For me, shitty style / lazy writing make me put a book down immediately. I was raised on the worship of style you find in writers like Flaubert or Nabokov (who also happened to have deplorable political views) and I can’t shake it.
Others commented here recently that making every female character in a story into a sex object is a bad thing.
What are some reasons you’ll put a book down after you’ve spent at least a little time giving it a try?
Sounds like just about every East Asian MMORPG. Some are so absurd that they have exceptions that serve their creepy fanbase, like "the only race that can be any class is the one that looks like 9 year olds with visible underwear."
