      Ughhhhhhhh, as a romance reader, I hate that book will every single part of me. It was my first ever 2 star and I will stand by it every time I don't understand how it's rated so highly.🙈

  • @samanthajones1266
    @samanthajones1266 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +160

    i think part of the reason why "y/n" is so poorly received is that it shoots itself in the foot by tying itself so strongly to k-pop, which has a very specific fan culture, because the book itself is, i think, more general than that. it's much more interested in questioning the nature of obsession and idolization than in k-pop or stan culture specifically. its detachment from reality wouldn't feel as strange if the premise of the book wasn't so (apparently) grounded in a real phenomenon. that said, i really enjoyed my time with it once i let go of that expectation of getting any semblance of connection to real life lmao

    • @newlynova
      @newlynova  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +37

    • @jjjm7322
      @jjjm7322 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      as a lover of absurd lit fic Y/N was such a guilty pleasure. it was painful to read. one moment i'd have to put down the book and think about a genuinely good thought provoking quote, resume, and the next sentence will be so strange and out of pocket i'd have to put the book down again and take a lap around the room

    Ughhhh Y/N has such a COOL premise and I LOVE stupid absurdist literary shit (Waiting for Godot, anyone?) but god did those quotes actively make that spot on my back I can’t reach ITCH like mad.
    But at the same time it IS written in that stupid esoteric way that is EXACTLY the way the singular most depressed author on AO3 writes. I have read countless fanfics in EXACTLY this style.
    But like,,,, could I have that whole style and vibe WITHOUT the eating of the cuticles ? Is that actually so hard

    I haven't read Y/N but the vibe I got from what you read aloud is that overwrought, "I'm trying to find my style, I'm only 16 and my hormones are crazy" style of writing that fanfic had back in the day. I might be off base but I remember being there, in the trenches writing bonkers stories like that. There's always this glimmer of potential in those fics where you can see talent and a weird amount of self awareness amidst all the...try hard cringe.
    On another note, I added Will of the Many to my tbr so fast.

    You know what Lexi? Fine, fine I’ll read Will of the Many. You’ve convinced me for what I think is the fifth or sixth time this year to finally read a book I’ve been eyeing for weeks. You turned Emily Henry into my new obsession, got me to move The Spear Cuts Through Water way up my TBR, validated why I sobbed like an absolute baby at the end of Babel (the last lines for Robin still echo in my head sometimes) and now this one.

    The mention of Wizard 101 just unlocked a DEEPLY tucked away memory of struggling with mental health in late middle/early high school. Sending all kinds of love your way, Lexi

    After this video, I NEED a definitive tier ranking of common fanfiction tropes! Drag me back to those long summer nights where I hid underneath my bed covers and binge read cringy/very questionable Destiel fanfic on AO3 until 3 in the morning. PLEASE!

      i have done something similar to this actually! not specific to fanfic but a lot of crossover

    I'm completely in love with Y/N. The writing is beautiful and the specific thing the author reaches with the protagonist's psychology is just perfect. I am Esther Yi's target audience and I'm quite proud.

    You should try reading Idol, Burning by Rin Usami ! It's also a parasocial relationship centric work but with J-pop and less batshit crazy than Y/N lol. I think it's a bit more introspective - you really get the loneliness of the protagonist and why they would become so obsessed with the idea of someone.
    You convinced me to read The Will of the Many now so also keen to see how that goes.

    @Kattfalk 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You have convinced me to read "The will of the many"! I have been on the fence because of mixed reviews (+biiig book), but of all the booktubers I follow, my taste seems to align the most with yours, so I'll give it a go!
    I also have just chosen "The office of historical corrections" as the next book for my book club after your recommendation, looking forward to reading it!

    Unrelated to the actual premise of this video but I would love a short video where you just showed your earring collection. They're always so mesmerizing.

    My girlfriend and I listened to an audio book of Y/N while taking a day trip to San Francisco. Let me tell you the amount of times we had to stop, pause, "What the hell is this", and keep going was too much. Once it was done we just sat in silence because good lord...
    Y/N was a car crash you could NEVER look away from. Now, my girlfriend and I do want to teach Y/N because of the occasional bars with the bonkers crazy shit that happens.

    The joy I feel when you post a new video is the equivalent of what I feel when I realize the book is a five star read while in the process of reading it.
    I don’t have many five stars this year.
    That is to say, your videos are dear to me.

    Your take on The Will of the Many is pretty much exactly the same as mine. I ended up rating it 5 stars despite the flaws. I definitely rolled my eyes at certain points watching Vis be the specialist boy who ever specialed, but it didn’t really impact my overall enjoyment at the end of the day.
