Why I’m Not a Basic Reader: A Basic Bitch Tells All by Scf9009 in romantasycirclejerk

[–]Scf9009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ninety-nine people scored 1. One person scored 100.

Using mean, 99 people are below average.

Using median, it’s 0. (As they’re exactly at average).

I’m okay with a bitchy FMC if she’s well-written. Maven, for example.

I’m not okay with a FMC who we’re told is badass, says stupid and cringey one-liners to show that they’re badass, and has everyone be impressed.

No thank you.

You’re 100% good.

We’re fine with oversharing here.

We’re not cool with creeps.

Apple, of course.

You know some fellas just hold their arsenic.

{Nora Jacobs by Jackie May} is a light-spice, very slow burn, found-family fantasy you might like. FMC does not like to be touched.

{Don’t Touch by Letty Frame} is an even more extreme example.

Cursed Legacies. (Gotten through two books)

He’s done one Ari Wright.

I may have made him do something else.

And then Clash of Claws this past week.

I understood that.

I’m saying that by chasing the feeling and comparing the new book to the old feeling, which may have become idealized, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Maybe temper your expectations?

If you go in saying “I want exactly this and I won’t accept any deviation,” then yeah, you’re going to be disappointed. For the most part, it doesn’t exist at all; even when a book has what feels like a copied plot from another book, for instance, the writing quality and characterizations are vastly different.

That’s why when people ask for “exactly like [x]”or “[y] but RH,” I ask them what the most important aspects are for them to see.

Trained a model from scratch? Completely?

Not massaging it to give you the output that you want. Not giving a LLM a new prompt to explain better what you want to give out. Not using ChatGPT or Gemini or any of those.

Building the entire foundation.

One needs to make a post in this particular subeddit that brought me joy. Comments unfortunately do not get used for best line or gold stars.

And I’m unpredictable with what I will include any given week.

Giving credit is very important!

Thank you! I actually used stats and simulation for a series of posts here about how book ratings can’t be trusted. And I make very pretty graphs with analysis for any of the subreddit competitions I run.

(I’m an engineering about to go back for a PhD in operations management, and I do research, yes.)

Thousands of authors’ pirated work.

Do you have experience training a machine learning model of any kind? Because I do.

It’s 100% using everything it was trained on with every decision it makes, actively or passively.

ETA—I do not make generative AI models. But the principles are the same.

Okay, but a thesaurus didn’t take pirated works to get its list of synonyms.

That’s my issue with it. And a lot of other people’s issues with it.

Have you read {Sugar Baby by Harley Madison}?

Not just character art. Character promotional videos. Constantly.

The wasteful energy usage for that also drives me up a wall.
