Reviews aren’t for writers; they’re for readers. And READERS are _exactly_ who should be reviewing. 😳

That’s fine and dandy but the main people who read books are readers- not writers. You have to understand how to pull readers in.

To be fair, just because it follows a literary structure doesn’t mean it follows it well or fits for the story - a person with a degree in English

if everyone followed your advice, nobody would be allowed to critique anything most people consume on a daily basis.

Also so many people confuse “boring” with “slow” and those don’t mean the same thing at all

Just because a writer make an intentional choice doesn't mean it's a good choice. The reader only gets what you give them and if that's not-

I don’t have to be a chef to say a plate is bad. Same goes here

there are bad reviews, but book reviews are for readers, not writers. books are written to be read. I love to do both, but not everyone does/can.

So you have to be a writer to review books? Books that are targeted to consumers, most of whom aren’t writers. Lol.

i mean if the book is boring i’m not gonna enjoy it no matter how well it’s written, hence a bad review

books are art and art is meant to be critiqued. you don’t need to be a writer to have an opinion on a book😭

are not the readers the target audience of the writers tho? I get that there are structural rules that most writers follow, but if readers don't 1/

All due respect, readers are entitled to their opinion, even when writers-any writer-doesn’t agree. Perfect technique doesn’t account for taste.

Like I love the NBA. My opinion may be that our defense sucks, but I ain’t gonna critique it cuz I don’t play basketball 💀

A reader shouldn’t be expected to know that. A reader isn’t a book critic lol. I read just for fun and if it’s slow, it’s slow 😂

I’m too scared to read the reviews on good reads. It’s just to hateful and ruined my favorites.

Gonna respectfully disagree with this one, books aren’t written solely for other authors and those reviews help like minded people make decisions. ❤️

Unfortunately most of your audience will be non-writers 😅

Sorry it's frustrating but that's like saying consumers shouldn't get a say in products they aren't trained to make. That would be a nightmare

well I don't think there is a problem as long as you dont say it SHOULD've been faster paced. it just means this person doesn’t like slow books 🤷🏾♀

Reviews are not literary analysis, anyone that reads can review and express their opinions. If as a writer you can't handle that don't read them

Aneury :
my philosophy as. writer is that there should never be a "boring" moment and often times writers will earn the audience's attention and then follo 1/1

Anotherlikemeee :
You’re coming off as gatekeeping here tbh. Ofc readers who aren’t writers get to write whatever they want in their reviews. Reviews are subjective /1

Story’s are meant to be consumed. If it’s not fun for the reader there is no point to all the theories. Saying this as a writer who loves to talk

But the review helps ppl that don’t know that structure… it’s like, okay I will expect a slow build up when I read this book

I read bad reviews for fun. It makes me less stressed about whether or not people will like my work.

Fantasy books are always so slow, but that’s part of the genre, and I love it, but I know I gotta give it a solid 200 pages

Funny how you’re asking people to leave burger reviews when people are asking to write better books 🤷🏻♀️do you see the irony? Lol

I love learning new things like this. I would love to see a series of writers critiquing readers reviews and explaining the writing process.

I agree but disagree at the same time 😂. Reading is personal, and anything creative is also, in my opinion, personal. (1)

Too many ppl base their opinion of a book being good or bad based on standards set by the Western patriarchy and think anything else is bad

I kinda like the slow at parts. I like the build up and emotional attachment that happens. It makes the action more urgent & the resolution satisfying

following a writing structure does not guarantee a good book. one does not have to write to appreciate good literature

What grinds my gears is when people give a book a 1⭐ review because it was delivered late. That's not the author's fault!
