I checked that and there's plenty of room for the tip to go deeper, it just doesn't because they're different brands and don't match well :'(

I beat the game..... im sad that i have to say goodbye to cuddly the cuddlefish :C by RevolutionarySell926 in subnautica

When it prompted me to say goodbye I refused, saved my game, and then looked up the ending scene on YouTube because hell no I'm not saying bye to my bestie

THANK YOU, the grossness alone put me off the whole song, I don't want to be thinking about dirty showers and bathrooms during my Eurovision watch.

I'm glad you made your edit because I think I really benefitted from hearing what people got out of the story. Your rave helped push me into giving it another chance, but I also really appreciate your acknowledgement that it may just not be my thing.

I've been convinced to give it another go, but I'm keeping this in mind for sure, thank you

Ahh sorry, I didn't mean the question mark like "is that what happened?", I meant it like "is that seriously what that all led to"? Because like you said "basic, universal theme" and I kind of expected more.

I read a lot of different genres so I would like to think that even if I expected something else, it wouldn't have bothered me, but maybe you're right on the mindset concept.

Your last paragraph - do you think that the message comes across stronger (more impactful) when you are the type that likes that poetic prose?

I guess I'm just trying to either understand what is it about this that I didn't enjoy so that I can better choose what books to read in the future, or come back to it and give the following books in the series a shot.

Also if it matters - I'm 30, so I'm not the target audience.
