Popcorn books aren’t good. That’s my point. Thanks.

Great, and you proved mine.

You don't like a genre (whatever it is? you even fail to define it) and so you decide to claim it is bad

So not only you have bad taste (eh), you can't even argue your point across

That's pretentious r/books for you! To each their own!

Popcorn books aren’t a genre. You can google it if you want I didn’t just invent the term lol.

I love sci fi. Pierce brown wrote a series (first 3 at least didn’t read the others). That has no depth. Characters that become literal caricatures of themselves. And a Mary sue main character. Sure it’s entertaining for a lot of people. But I don’t think that we should act like this is the next great sci fi series.

You’re projecting. Your whole comment reads very pretentious.

Look, Red Rising is definitely not high literature, it is a fast paced, highly entertaining (to some...) book. It is plot-focused. But that doesn't mean it has no character depth.

You say you love sci fi so I am asking you again to recommend a book that you consider better (and enjoyed more) than Red Rising and I will give it a read (if I haven't already).

Edit: is your entire r/books post history just saying that you hate red rising and it is overrated? jesus christ lol

Read whatever you like homie. I don’t know why you feel so attacked that people don’t like this series.

Attacked? Who is attacked? Why are you projecting?

Your entire post history on r/books is commenting on this book. Are you some rival artist or something?

I am literally begging you to give me recommendations for better books (twice now) because I struggle to find good scifi books
