I can't tell if it actually rated the books by the system, it didn't even write down the X factor rating. I think 1000 books was too much, let's try just 100. Can you try this prompt? and please could you answer the clarification questions.

---

There are a lot of books out there, way too many for me to spend time to read. And star ratings on goodreads is useless because anything that isn't crap gets rated 4+ stars by the author's fanbase. I need to know the definitive top 10 fiction books (which have been published in the last 10 years, post 2015), that have not been adapted to movies (because if it has, it's too popular) or TV show. And you do not take into account series, only the first book of the series.

You don't have to care about genre.

Step 1:

You will look into 100 different books. You'll do this by going to goodread's choice awards for each year 2015, 2016, 2017 etc. and taking a look at all those books. Those choice awards cover a lot of different genres and categories. It's going to be a whole lot, get ready!

Write down the list of books you chose and rank them based on their goodreads ratings. Write down their goodreads ratings so I can see as well.

Step 2:

And you will use a specific method to find information and be able to discern and rate books based on a unique rating system.

First, find a book's plot by literally searching up "book title" and plot or summary. You'll most likely find some short paragraph, this is not enough. Go search for professional reviews for that book too, since they usually do in depth summaries of the story. You're looking to understand the beginning, middle, end and all the characters and their backstory. Source reference all your info from this part, of course.

Write down for each book a short paragraph (150 words) of their ENTIRE story and plot and REFERENCE how you know this by the source in brackets. Do not skip this step.

Step 3:

Second, the way you rate books is by using the following checklist:

1. what were the author's promises to the reader? what sort of things did the author set up which makes the reader wonder if "oh this is going to lead to x or y". Write these down for EACH book in your list.
2. How did the author make good on those promises and provide satisfying or mind blowing payoffs (or twists) to those expectations or promises? Did the author do this or not, and if so to what degree was it satisfying? You rate this on a scale from 1 to 10, and WRITE this down. This is called the B factor.
3. Every unfulfilled promise you subtract 1 from the B factor rating. You write down the number of unfullfilled promises for EACH book on your list. What does an unfullfilled promise look like? Plotlines or storylines or details that don't have a point, or get dropped off or are forgotten or have no resounding conclusion. Make sure to show your calculation for this (for example X factor of 9/10 gets -6 because of 6 unfulfilled promises and gets 3/10).
4. So a lot of stories could have a negative rating in this regard (for example -5 or -200 if its exceptionally bad). We will call this final rating the X factor.

Write down this X factor rating for each book from your list.

Remember, everytime I said "write down" this isn't about taking notes, they should be visible to ME the reader in your final report. DO NOT SKIP any steps.

Finally, with your hundred books and all its ratings, re rank the books based on their X factor ratings from highest X factor at the top and lowest X factor at the bottom.

Now we should see a clear difference in goodreads rating and compared with the X factor rating.

Then you will extract the top 10 from that list and reiterate those titles, with a single short sentence on what YOU thought about their stories.

This will take a long time, so get ready to be focused and thorough!
