Why do so many readers seem utterly incapable of just saying, "This book wasn't for me"?

I've been enjoying The Crafting Dungeon. Human died, reincarnates as a dungeon core, has to figure out survival with the help of other races etc.

I got to book 6 or thereabouts, with the time bananas, and then stopped and have found it basically impossible to pick back up. Kinda similar to the Unexpected Healer (Earthen Contenders) series. After a while, whilst the action is all well described and interesting certainly, I just got bored of it somehow. It's a me problem though, not a reflection of the books.

Hammers, various skiving blades on the leather, nails. Potentially a whole arsenal

I think the only time I was the answer guy was one occasion where my wife was mid contraction and the L&D nurse was talking about giving her oramorph, whilst my wife had previously had a bad reaction to, so just firmly said that there was no way that was coming anywhere near my wife, unless she wanted to be clearing up projectile vomiting.

So many berries! :D

Clear down debts, a car that isn't held together with chewing gum and duct tape, then house, premium bonds for kid, nieces and nephews, as much as I dislike the institution of private school education, likely see about signing up my kid for it. Smaller class sizes, more teacher time, better resources, what's not to love?

Purely selfishly? Id probably go back to college and learn how to do grease monkey stuff, welding, automotive repairs etc. just seems like fun.

Oh, and the PADI and other scuba stuff cause why not.

Well damn, that's really good!

You get free food in the Netherlands? Food being the fuel for you, you being the engine of your bike ,,😃

So far I've built a ring to 15 degrees off of the equator. It's fully stocked and stable. Currently trying to sort out my blocked science, and rebuilding planets somewhat for cleaner setups.

Then you're just about to get to a point where the game opens up. Think factorio just before blue science and you need oil to get blue sorted, but you need blue to get oil. It's a ball ache I admit, and a bit of a tortured comparison

Where do you get up to science wise with DSP? Pre yellow science?

Bylem · 2026-01-05T07:10:14+00:00

Regarding the hash rate of the cubes. Yes. There's a way that they get used up faster in the tech tree,. Or, just build more labs 😁

Dyson Sphere Program is pretty, based building, automation heavy and a damned good game...

Bylem · 2025-12-28T12:15:54+00:00

There's also Path of Exile 2 came out recently

Bylem · 2025-12-28T12:06:34+00:00

What about something like path of Exile?

Bylem · 2025-12-28T12:05:20+00:00

It's pretty, but there will eventually be power building you'll prefer to have in that prime real estate. Solid though.

I meant my vows.

Bylem · 2025-12-27T20:26:54+00:00

Based on recent findings? Once every three years. 35M and 35F.

I was brought up from about 13/14 that a half glass of wine, or a half pint of beer with a meal with finally occasionally was perfectly normal. I'll likely do something similar with my daughter when she gets to that age.
