3 stars at maximum. i read a book that had one of the best plot twists i had ever read, but it was mediocre and the rest of the book (particularly the first 70-75%) was pretty stagnant

Hush, I told you, I was not a critical rater back then and I read it agesss before I got Gr, how was I supposed to remember and accurately rate anything

Divine Rivals, it made me feel like a 5 but I gave it a 3 because it just wasn't that amazing objectively

Exactly why I would pick her, she won't make ME dislike something. If anything, she'd make you like it more after five theses

Because you're finally being honest with yourself <3

I meannn books are not only there to be good and pretty, as long as it's able to make you feel something because all ratings are pretty subjective you can't really be objective

it wasn’t that bad tbf AHAHAH it just wasn’t the best up until the plotwist

I think it depends on the book and the topic of discussion because there are some things that even if you and I completely disagreed on, you could never sway my opinion on it (totally not speaking from experience ahem)

You did, for whatever reason. You even said "Why are they complaining?" When I showed you people's reactions to Midnights having 466466 editions

oh that's that one manhwa with the pretty but wonky art style isn't it

I did nottt and I said, why are they complaining when they're the REASON it's happening, if they didn't support her to this extent, then they wouldn't be paying such exorbitant amounts of money for her shows orrr albums, THEY have the power, not her. Why are they complaining when their blind fanaticism is the reason she's able to do this.

No point with Serena, despite your vows you were not able to convince me, I'm sure Sama would love to debate TS with you

haha tbf i can understand the ‘charts blocking’ thing but a lot of people use her success as means of excluding her from every other artist. something i frequently see is ‘she only writes about her problems’ doesn’t almost everyone else??

I... have not read it for a while but yes, I would roll my eyes at it. (You should've seen me with Wintersong)

OMG YESSS wildest dreams is such a nostalgic song , certainly not in my top 5 1989 songs or anything but it’s still memorable bc of the nostalgia factor 🥹🥹 you’re right, the vibe of the album just puts me in high spirits !! i’m hoping her next album is similar to that. i love her recent albums so much, but she’s been receiving a lot of criticism and people are saying that they just sound the same. tbf, people were also saying that about her older, happier albums so i have no idea what they want but it makes sense
