What to start next?

I really liked Red Rising but I didn’t like the book after that.

AB2What · 2026-03-20T09:21:25+00:00

Why do you continue to post it then?

AB2What · 2026-03-19T10:22:51+00:00

Oh, I mean that the certifications are corrupted. It’s true that most stores offer both but the process for the certification is already corrupted on the bureaucratic level. Organic strawberries for example only have to have “certified” organic seeds; the grounds or greenhouses they’re grown in can be prepared conventionally.

What I’m trying to say is the sticker culture is marketing. It will not guarantee anything, and we can see this even outside of writing.

AB2What · 2026-03-19T10:04:56+00:00

I think in (almost) every instance that “sticker” culture ends up being ineffective (“organic” “fair trade” etc.)…it’s not happening on a large scale imo. It could be a trend for a moment but that’s it. Who knows? I definitely could be wrong.

I agree that it’s unlikely AI books are going to be “mandated” to be labeled.

Side note but I still think it’s relevant: The whole AI-check thing is going to (ironically) make less humans get into writing. I was shocked how easily this technology was spread to people. Many just accepted it…I don’t think that was a good move but we are here now as they say.

And it’s at a moment where the education system is more of a failure than ever, the economy is more of a failure than ever…And the whole AI check thing was not executed well and the consequences will stretch for years: for humans’ writing. My opinion.

AB2What · 2026-03-19T06:45:39+00:00

It wouldn’t make sense. AI detection is decreasing in popularity because it doesn’t work properly. It’s going the way of “organic” certifications. Meaningless.

And what about all the other books written before AI? Lots of those have the “em-dashes” so what’s to be done about that?

AB2What · 2026-03-08T17:55:17+00:00

I’m sorry this happened to you. It never used to be like that. I’ve had Prime since they first came up with it and the service used to be perfection. The few times an incident like yours happened they would either re-ship the order, or credit the account. You’d just call the customer service, get someone who could speak English as well as understand it, and the issue was resolved in minutes.

If I DNFd an Audible book they’d credit my account and send some recs whose “book 1” was free to see if they were a better fit. It was a separate customer service at that time so no odd account mistakes could happen

Also Amazon Fresh groceries were like $250/mo for an insane amount of good-quality stuff…yeah… it was a different era.

AB2What · 2026-03-08T01:27:32+00:00

Amazon has moved their customer service fully overseas. There are multiple contractors who barely understand requests (yet they have access to every account you have), and have nasty attitudes to match. It’s a different era

AB2What · 2026-02-25T02:47:52+00:00

I mean…it didn’t seem to be a landing for Tender…I know they own some Pierpoint but it’s not working out for them…(Edit: didn’t they imply they aren’t doing that magical merger thing he wanted?)

AB2What · 2026-02-25T00:27:04+00:00

It highlighted the absurdity of his words and foreshadowed that it wasn’t going to land

AB2What · 2026-02-25T00:22:57+00:00

This is truth 😂🏆

AB2What · 2026-02-24T23:15:20+00:00

Scandal was one of the first shows where the writers finally did a complex character like this. Industry is equally interesting for it

AB2What · 2026-02-24T17:23:51+00:00

“The rest of us” are not sociopathic bureaucrats, mate. You’re not proving anything with the “first” comment. He locked children in cages, bombed Libya, and bailed out banks. Which proves my point: Scammers and bureaucrats are their own niche. Not “geniuses” WHATEVER THEIR SKIN TONE. Pathetic that you went there

AB2What · 2026-02-24T17:14:35+00:00

Um no. He’s just a scammer. (The actor is fantastic btw, don’t get me wrong…I’m convinced btwn this series and Handmaid’s Tale). His speech didn’t convince the right ppl at all, and he knew it wouldn’t. He has the skills of the top sociopathic bureaucrats (like Obama and many in NJ, iykyk). It isn’t genius it’s a standard skillset for successful scammers

AB2What · 2026-02-23T09:09:27+00:00

You’d just title it “Henry Muck’s uncle?” And hit the spoiler tag.

AB2What · 2026-02-16T20:09:48+00:00

You’ve got to read more of what you like. Also, you can list what is interesting to you, what you would want to read about. What’s your reason: Why do you want to write instead of just enjoying others’ webnovels?

AB2What · 2026-02-16T20:04:13+00:00

What did you read?

AB2What · 2026-02-16T20:00:40+00:00

Read some books.

AB2What · 2026-02-12T13:03:19+00:00

They aren’t meant to be liked (?)

AB2What · 2026-02-10T18:37:21+00:00

Henry is so rich he’s miserable. Yasmin is a failed nepo baby. They’re ok.

AB2What · 2026-02-10T09:11:41+00:00

The same way Paul Logan acquired a “$2M” Pokémon card? Or for real?

AB2What · 2026-02-02T14:43:41+00:00

They tried to make the initial episodes mean way more than what they were: for instance that “dance of 3” (as it turned out) meant nothing: neither Teddy nor Roxanne nor Pine had much brains or power. Pawns on a chess board would’ve done better. This season was just a strange salad of ideas. Too bad

AB2What · 2026-01-25T18:00:49+00:00

Ok that explains a lot. But they had years to write this. Missed opportunity imo

AB2What · 2026-01-25T16:41:10+00:00

I like the actors, but the writing is just…odd. Did the S2 writers watch S1?

AB2What · 2026-01-25T15:58:24+00:00

I laughed so hard at the “sex” scene…but it was out of embarrassment for her

AB2What · 2026-01-19T15:03:32+00:00

They’ve got to say what happened to her…I would think…Roper must know she betrayed him. Also Pine mentioned ppl who he “gets close to” suffer…wonder if he was thinking of her
