@tinaisbambi: PLEASE stop lowering the bar i beg… !! 😭😭 and let’s end this “it’s not that deep” mentality when it comes to literature 😒 [ #BookTok and “fast literature” is indeed ruining literature… so what now? 😒 some of u need to calm down and understand where this criticism comes from..!!! ] > I saw miss @maddie clark ‘s video some time ago and i was incredibly surprised to see so many people getting so mad at her for saying the things she said and policing her tone..🤷🏻‍♀️ i think she said what had to be said… < ✍🏻 #literature #books #reading #booktoker

I feel like it belittles the genre of romance as well. Romance CAN be complex and have beautiful prose and well developed characters. Writing in general is a craft and it can be refined especially through criticism but when we lower the bar and dismiss criticism it devalues the ART form that is literature.

some of them are skimming through the novels to be able to read 30+ books/month.

I love a fun book, but nothing beats well written literature. It’s literally art 😭

As someone who enjoys the genres that "tiktok books" fall under, it has MASSIVELY caused a drop in quality. It's much more difficult to find well-written books in these genres than it used to be.

It’s the fast fashion but for books - quite literally.

yes! romance and smut books used to be genres I really enjoyed, and I still do but ever since booktok marketing started becoming a thing, it seems like publishers are completely discarding editing revisions, publishing stories that read more like a first draft rather than a complete narrative. I find it really hard these days to find a romance book I actually like.

I agree with you so much. Especially “everything you consume become a part of you” !!! This is why I want to be more intentional with what I consume :)

there's a difference between enjoying a book and knowing it's not a particularly well written one, and thinking a book is GOOD and well written whem it's clealry not - just cause you enjoy it

I agree, it's okay to enjoy these books as a mean to relax after a long day but it does become a problem when they're pushed as masterpieces, like no

I LOVE reading, and romance books. I hate that they are just so hard to find a good romance book now. They aren't edited or written well

It’s so important to be able to tell the difference when a book is 5 stars because it’s exceptionally written, and 5 stars because it was a fun time. These books aren’t the same and the difference matters

reviewers should be leaving critical reviews. reviewers shouldn't be on the promo teams. authors shouldn't be calling people out for 3 star reviews. Bring back critical reviews that aren't sales tactics and this problem will (somewhat) police itself.

That’s why my answers to ‘what’s your favourite book’ and ‘what’s the best book you’ve ever read’, are different!

Ngl. Books shouldn’t be “fast food” if you want something easy to read you read comics or fanfictions

i feel like a lot of people on booktok skipped their wattpad phase. i have genuinely read better fanfics on ao3 that can be classified as masterpieces in comparison to some recent popular published books

I think the main point is what you said about humiliation. They don’t want to retaliate from it because they feel like is a personal attack and that’s the issue. Until people see that it also affects them and it’s nothing personal nothing will change
