The book Bad Monkeys was so promising for the first 2/3 and then the last third was just so … I was going to say “I don’t know how to describe how bad it was” but that’s too harsh, it’s more like it has a type of badness I never knew existed before
I can’t think of any analogy that really works, but it’s sort of like what would happen if someone tried to come up with “the coolest story ever” by writing down a list of every fiction trope they liked, and then just used the giant list of tropes as the outline for their story, without filling in anything else, so the good guys are literally named “the Good Guys” and thematic tropes like “determining someone’s true nature” become “now I will use a True Nature Detector on you”
And as the book goes on, the author includes more and more tropes at an increasing rate, ending in a sort of omega point that is almost literally this
how had I never seen this sketch before
also I went to have the book spoiled and all them goodread…ers said things about the ending falling apart but didn’t go into specifics
since I won’t read this book, if you feel like going into detail as to just w the f, I would be appreciative
Actually, having just read it, that would be kind of therapeutic
Complete spoilers under the cut, obviously
