It upsets me that so many talented writers struggle to get published at all, and then this poorly written smut is not only published, it becomes so popular that it gets made into a movie and translated into multiple languages. Like, wtf!?
Basically the next J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis get traded for smut, which makes sense with what’s happening to the Simmarilian/LOTR series on Amazon.
@@doopdoopdopdop7424 you mean the Amazon series that no one has seen and that we barely have any information on, that hired an intimacy coordinator? Just so you know IC are on every set, for everything from hand holding to fight scenes that have both genders. Even the original LOTR trilogy had one. Stop running with headlines.
It’s still beyond me how did that book ever broke out of this country. Believe me or not, but Lipińska isn’t actually the first one to try making „the Polish 50 Shades”, we had a couple of aspiring smut writers here for a while but their books were mostly harmless smut, hardly anyone knew about them. Yet out of all of those the one to actually reach international popularity is the most toxic and ignorant, from a woman who dares to call herself a „feminist” and claim that she doesn’t see any sexual assaults in her book.
I mean Christian was abused as a child, the hell is M problem? He lived like a prince from the day he was born. You would think a mafia guy who always gets what he wants from the women he pays for sex, would know what not to do to make a woman love him for real. Christian learned from the wrong person. Masimo never bothered to learn by the right ones. It's on him honestly
So let me get this straight... Twilight was a series about sexy vampires. Then 50 Shades was a smut fanfic version of that. Then 365 Days is an even smuttier fanfic of THAT? Hope Stephanie Meyer is proud of her legacy💀
nah nah its clearly going to be a violent poltergeist what stalks and assaults the woman who keeps staying in the hotel room he died in. then she will fall in love with him and live happily ever afterlife.
I mean, not even gonna lie, done right, that could be a fascinating story to read. Then again, the same goes for the broad strokes of the plot of 50 Shades, but hey.
I actually read somewhere that, Blanka Lipinska stated that whenever she didn't know how to continue the story, she simply made Laura faint or have a heart-related faint. The✨creativity✨.
That's the sort of thing I do in my first drafts, and I'll only keep it if it's relevant. But those characters faint for either trauma or injury-related reasons that actually affect the story so I suppose this whole comment was pointless, whoops.
I have never once had a character faint unless it was from extreme exhaustion or injury. I cannot imagine writing “and then she fainted” every time I got stuck in one of my stories.
@@RavynMad121 Yeah, it's like the fantasy equivalent of not knowing what to do next so you just say "and then a monster attacked" or something with no real point to it.
I was hoping this book would never leave Poland. The fact that this thing was a "hit" is beyond me. And now I discover it was translated. As Polish let me say this - I am so sorry.
My dad, oh my dear father, he just wanted to watch a movie and he likes the movies about mafia, army, fighting, but not like fiction, but like based on reality He read the description in netflix that said about a mafia lord that got almost murdered so he had to work it out So he thought it was a movie about the italian mafia so he played the movie He regrets it, they did wrong to him
At least Belle chose to be held captive and the beast ended up being a man. This story has a high key insane beauty being abducted by a man who turns out to be a beast.
Dude! If Twilight was inspired by Beauty and the Beast, then that means kinky misogyny has been progressing for way longer than we have been giving it credit for... 😳
As a straight person, I can wholeheartedly say that the straights haven’t been okay since 50 Shades or quite possibly since Twilight 💁🏻♀️ Actually, maybe WAAAYYY before that with like the 50’s sitcoms where you threaten to slap your wife to the moon and people found it funny 🙃🙃🙃
13:10 This author hates consent so much that she gave Laura the choice of how she wanted to be assaulted and then had him just disregard her choice anyway
At least Christian grey actually asks Anna out, He may suck but he didn’t kidnap Anna and for the most part the consent situation is very clear. I don’t even think Laura can even give consent in this situation because she is being coerced.
@@thecrookedanimator lmaoooo I got you! "It's just a movie. This type of stuff sells and it's probably to show you what men are really like. It happens in real life, just differently, and cannot always be the same"
When will people learn that BDSM can only really work with the proper use of consent and when it's compartmentalized into the bedroom without affecting how you treat each other in regular life?
@@JP-et9hv That's just the thing: The urge to be 'dominated' in bed isn't too uncommon, but we are aware that these fantasies have to be approached in a safe fashion - which means either in a consenting relationship where true control is never relinquished (e.g. safe words) or in fiction. The problem with fiction likes this and many many many many many others is that it paints the wrong picture, it doesn't show that in reality it's not a choice between either an abusive partner that gives you the rough sex you like or a kind partner that's just vanilla but that you can actually mix and match. A not insignificant part of why so many women can't seem to get out of a cycle of bad relationships is that they feel they can only get the sexual fulfillment from those that treat them badly in every walk of life.
@@JP-et9hv I'm not defending this tripe, but I can also see how addressing consent in a work of fiction can kind of break the fantasy since, if I'm right, the fantasy is all about giving up control, where the reality is that the sub sets the limits and just trusts the dom to respect them.
@@JP-et9hv I know, I know, but, devil's advocate here, maybe the authors of this trash feel like actually establising/adressing consent would break the fantasy or something, idk.
Just a quick addon: There are actually 24/7 BDSM arrangements that work for people (not my cup of tea). But even then, there should be rational discussions beforehand, safewords and all that. Some people like to be dominated, even out of the bedroom, and that's cool by me, if they still have the power and means to end that situation whenever they need or want to. (Also, never involve innocent bystanders into you BDSM stuff, that's just disrespectful)
This title gets incredibly worse when one gets to read interviews with the author. She called herself a "modern-day feminist" that fights for the sexual independence of women. Because, of course, all women want is non-consensual, forceful sex - it is what truly frees them. She actually believes that by writing this crap she fights for women's rights. Also, at the same time, she believes that it is a man's job to provide money and a woman's job to not work, look pretty, and be adorned by gifts. So, very feminist approach indeed. One should also talk about the absolute narcissism of the author and how she projects on the main character. After the makeover, Laura looks exactly like Blanka Lipinska. Additionally, she actually put herself on the cover of the second book.
These are the people who give feminism a bad name. There is actually great erotica written by women (no need to be a feminist for that) where all the kinks are thrown around with good writing and logic so it’s believable. Anyway, these books are written like an adult movie scenario, it’s not about the logic, it’s about getting to the D in P part lol.
She wouldn’t know feminism if it bit her in the ass. She’s just using it to try and make herself look better. “See guys? I’m a feminist so that makes everything magically okay.” She’s trying to use it as an end all be all excuse.
That’s hilarious. Wow 😆 ‘I’m so pro-feminist that’s why I depicted a women in a toxic abusive relationship that completely revolves around sex and she has extremely little control in the matter nor does she ever fight back.’
The author said she made Laura faint when she didn't know what to write. What a great writer. She also made Laura change her hairdo to similar to her's.
I wondered about that sudden drastic change in hairdo at the end of the movie, especially since the whole reason the . . . “hero” liked her was because she looked EXACTLY like the woman in his vision.
@@millym8439 I'd say no, since she purportedly outright said that all women fantasize about being raped. She can take the minor inconvenience of people mispronouncing her name in exchange for putting out that dangerous garbage.
@@sadrabbit53 Well, I actually saw a video about one Polish guy, who was elected into European parliament, and he is the one that believes all women are inferior and said he would be ok if his daughter was r....ed... seems like such harmful ideas aren't restricted to that one author (and aren't restricted to Poland either)
Books like these are dangerous to impressionable women because it romanticizes psychopathic and abusive behaviour. It blatantly excuses those toxic behaviours as long as men are 1) extremely attractive 2) rich 3) obsessed with the protagonist. In real life, once the woman is in too deep with those toxic men, it gets too hard to leave and they will slowly shrink into depression. I've seen it up close and I would never wish it to any person.
Now, I'm going to have to disagree with you there, just because you're parroting the old "protect the delicate lady sensibilities from the evil novels, they can't tell fiction from reality" bit. I've seen it up close. I've lived a milder version (emotional abuse and manipulation, only). I still like my heroine/villain pairings, even extremely fucked up ones. I just prefer them to be well-written. What my sick little brain sometimes likes in fiction has no bearing on what I like IRL and know to run screaming from.
I would like to point out that “written like a fanfic” isn’t always a bad thing. I’ve read fantastically written fanfics. I have read fanfics that I knew nothing about the fandom it came from; I just read it because the author was incredible. Fanfics get such a bad reputation, but they’re a good place for a writer to stretch their wings and get writing tips from others in the community so that they can learn. The problem is when the problematic writers are the ones getting popular and I think that says more about our culture than our fanfic writers.
Agreed 100%. There are amazing authors out there who totally deserve the opportunity to get their original stories published, but noooo, we only get the worst of the worst. I wonder a lot about the reasons why this kind of stories get so popular, and every single one of them is so concerning.
agreed, i bumped into this drarry fanfic in my native language and oh my god the writing styles and the words choices are immaculate. my native language, bahasa, doesn't really have that much of words but the fact that I had to open my dictionary back and forth shows how ignorant i was and not all fanfics are bad or written by 10-something year old kids. neither the dialogs nor the plots make me cringe, surprisingly xD
I feel that. I once read this fan fiction that had such a good plot and writing that I wished it wasn’t a fan fiction. It’s because I wanted this to be an actual book where people can buy it and it will have a movie made about it
"The man in black who was now in white." I wish that was a running joke throughout the book. Like, she calls him that but keeps substituting in whatever he's wearing at the moment. It would be better than any of the other attempts at comedy in this book.
@@reelirish7 we're reverting to more primal civilizations that used runes and drawings to communicate non-verbally. It's just another step in our inevitable return to monke
As a girl who has been sexually harassed and assaulted when I was younger and even now that one of my uni teacher is obsessed with me at the point that I don’t even want to go back to uni campus, when I see this it just makes me so angry... They really think that it’s pleasant? I just...
I feel sorry for you and i advice you to start play a self defense sports and work hard on learning it in short period then start to training in your garden in place that he can see you to give him a massage that you are strong and will hurt him if he try to be close to you again but this training must be after being cross the beginner level not before not do this in learning new movement which must be in the club do the movement which you are go on it in front of him dont fear make him fear Good luck And please tell my the result by mailing my you are welcome any time
@Lei La Actually we do still have classes despite Covid, so I kind of always see him. I don’t have classes with him anymore but the problem is that he also lives at the uni campus and he’s even my neighbour so I can’t really avoid him.I try to do like nothing happens but I’m quite stuck, last time I barely hurt myself by hitting a tree because I found out he was behind me.. Pretty sure he saw that I was overwhelmed... I know it’s not my fault but I feel bad about that... I’ll just hang on until I leave this place and also thank you very much 🙏🏾
@@alaaibrahim7603 You think it’s gonna work? Sorry but I’m quite denial about this situation I feel like I’m crazy or something And mailing? Sorry I don’t get it yikes x)
@@guillaumem9953 I am really sorry that you have to go through this. I was sexually assaulted as a child as well. I know how hard it is to cope with it. But you need to be strong. I know you can do this. Try to carry self defense equipments like a pepper spray, or a small knife like what ever you are comfortable with. If he tries to touch you, you should put charges on him. Try to record your conversation with him. Please try be careful and try to take action because running or avoiding your problem won't help friend. Take care of yourself.
'Cuz "why not?"... asked Massimo and didn't wait for the answer, or actually... it was Blanka. She decided to force herself on us and didn't take "no" for an answer. And yes, there is gonna be a second part.
This romanticized rape crap makes me so mad. I was raped by a friend's roommate and my boyfriend accused me of enjoying it. It's this kind of narrative that makes victims of assault choose not to report things because they know a bunch of idiots will think they wanted it. I legit feel so angry that this crap exists.
@@carysk4083 I'm doing great now. My current partner is incredible and would never treat me like that. I've had a lot of therapy and have ended up with way better friends that would actually believe me if something like that happened. I guess watching this video brought up some stuff.
No, I reported mine. don't lump us all together like that. I did what I needed to do to to protect myself afterwards and made sure that creep got what he deserved. It worked lol his name was trashed in our town after lol
@@romantic_hippie I wasn't lumping anyone together. But A LOT of people that survive sexual assault fear that they won't be believed and do experience accusations from friends and family that the assault was consensual. I'm glad you had an experience where you were believed, but after being accused of lying by my family and boyfriend, you can imagine how I assumed the police would react.
Fun fact. The author herself said that Laura's heart condition and fainting is a plot device to her. Every time she didn't know how to resolve a hard situation in a plot, she made Laura faint X)
Consensual non-consent is all well and fine, but can we stop pretending this garbage is anything close to that? This is an absolute horror story. I can't imagine anyone thinking this is "sexy" or "erotic." This is the warning story parents used in the 90s to tell girls/women to stay safe.
@@JP-et9hv if both partners are into it then fine. In this practice, when it's PROPERLY practiced, there are strict safe words and boundaries involved so that people involved can stop when they want to. Sadly, there are a lot of fuckers who don't know how to practise BDSM properly and have power trips, then hurt their partner.
@@JP-et9hv I respectfully disagree, if both parties are into it, know what they're doing, establish hard limits and safewords, the dom checks in with their partner while doing it to make sure they are ok and have alot of aftercare after, they can do it. As long as it falls into safe, sane and consentual, let them.
To all the poor Polish folks embarrassed and afraid ppl will now associate Poland with this catastrophe rest assured, you gave us The Witcher. That's what I'm choosing to associate Poland to
"I get that I'm not the target demographic for this..." Who is this targeted at?! Like, this just feels like the lady wrote this cuz her sex life was getting nowhere so she needed something to spice it up and for whatever reason people just read it for the same reason. Even the erotic vampire books I read as a teen were more interesting and didn't, you know, depict abuse and assault.
it really reads like its meant for a very niche crowd of ppl with a specific fetish, which makes it surprising to me that it's become as mainstream as it is. There are countless books and fanfics like this out there that are pure fetish and fantasy fuel with plot existing only to structure the horny stuff somehow, but usually those stories just stay in their little communities and don't get made into feature-length movies. we live in an interesting time
Ur theory is just so funny... cause it's true. She basically admitted in one of polish interviews that she wrote this book, because she didn't have sex for a long time xd
So, in her act of desperation she just came up with this and know we all suffer for it? I mean, I'm into some kinky shit, like holding hands and having meaningful conversations, but that don't mean Imma right some cringy stuff.
As a Polish guy who has read the book in Polish I can assure you, that the translator had nothing to do with its, ekhem, mediocrity in the style/ language department. In Poland the general consensus is something along the lines of "yes, a high schooler could have written this book and you wouldn't notice any difference". And from the bottom of my heart: I feel your pain. 365 Days is a nightmare to go through
@@aleksandraguzik8010 well, my first thought was "a not very smart chimpanzee", but then there are those, who unironically like these books, so I had to find the middle ground between "a chimpanzee" and "a great author"
@@wojciechkobiaka7763 I'd say a middle schooler, but I forgot middle schoolers are the worst life forms possible. (If you count middle schoolers as alive
This is literally a horror story and people are getting off on it, there is even some Hannibal Lector level double entendres “I hope this year will be the best of your life” right before kidnapping, assault, rape and borderline torture.
RIP Amanda The Jedi. She was one of the greatest people I knew, and I looked up to her greatly. Her tragic death at the hands of the 365 Days novel shocked me to the core. But wherever she is now, I hope she’s happier than she was here- I’m so sorry, I just miss her so much...
If Twilight led to Fifty Shades, and Fifty Shades led to this, then I shudder in fear to think of the Lovecraftian monstrosity that this shall bring into the world.
i *_HATE_* all these """kinky""" stories because soooooo many lines out of context would be things am actually down for but *_with_* the context i just want to yeet myself out of this hellish existence. 💀💀💀
In 2018, a Polish writer, Olga Tokarczuk, won the Nobel Prize in literature. In 2019 Blanka Lipińska wrote 365 days. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
In fifty shades series, Christian Grey character had a really terrible childhood filled with trauma. But, after he meets Anastasia, he really give some effort to continue his treatment and to become better everyday. Also, let's not forget that Christian Grey loves consent so much that he gets an actual court paper of consent which he calls Non Disclosure Agreement where he discuss he sex partner's limits. But, 365dni actually celebrated Stockholm Syndrome and abuse on women.
Its books and movies like this the reason why people go darkside. Those who idolize Massimo shouldn't be allowed to breed, they will ruin the next generation. It's already bad enough as it is
I'm from Poland and I just wanna say I'm sorry. This book is idiotic, disgusting and damaging and the fact that something like this is translating and sending into different countries is unfair for intelligent people and everyone around the world who is trying to write stories. I have no idea why this shit was even published. As polish I feel embarassed and deceived. Please, read more valuable books. PS sorry for my english ;)
I know someone who literally begged me to watch the movie because “it was so hot and romantic, like honestly it’s so nice to see him genuinely care for her” Needless to say I was shook, her boyfriend (my best friend) is literally the complete opposite of Massimo and he was like yeah that’s just weird 😭😂
Hahahaha! Your brain is compartmentalizing in order for you to survive and to save your sanity, like in a deeply traumatic event. This is how bad this book is. XD
It would be a shame if someone put this book in the "horror" section of their local book / movie dispensary. And then took a picture and posted it to social media. And tagged the author. Real shame.
@@ladyredl3210 I dont think its about the kink, its power dynamics and the "submissive women with dominant man" idea. This can be a kink if everyone involved knows that it only applies to the bedroom and not to the general world order. But these movies and books take this outside of the bedroom and apply it to the real world and that is the conservative element to it.
also two minutes later: talks about how bad he wants to SA her........ B R U H tell me how this story is huge in Poland let alone in North America??????
That actually reminds me of this old movie from the Balkans, where a mobster keeps refering to this young girl hes in love with as an angel. Tho in his defense it comes up when she asks him why he doesnt touch her or want to fuck her, and he says something among the lines of: youre an angel, angels arent for fucking. and he actually doesnt.
Somebody give her a trophy for making it through this thing. Here’s a quote from Amanda that perfectly sums up how I feel about this book: “I am going to have an aneurysm.”
I have often doubted my own writing abilities even writing fanfic and that I'll probably won't get published or write films, etc. And then I remember that the 365 and 50 Shades of Gray book exists. If they get published then maybe I can too. lol
You pronounced her name very correctly! There's a scandal with her involved - a very prestigious club in Gdańsk (from what I remember, but might be different city) was actually a rich brothel and she was like a scout for escorts in there. Once she said the book was inspired by her own story.
Their kid: “Mommy? How did you meet daddy?” Laura: “oh yeah funny story uh he kidnapped me and threatened to kill my family if I don’t stay with him😀” LMAOOOO
That kid's gonna be traumatised. I feel so bad for them having to grow up in that loveless home, with 2 abusive bozos who have *no* qualifications to be parents.
Trees died for the physical copies to exist... and I was actually steaming mad when watching the earlier review for the movie, but I just can't get my blood pressure up for that now. Guess Amanda doing that to herself has to suffice.
Translator here. I have translated books of similar caliber, and to tell the truth... there is a point when you just give up, when you just stop caring. At the beginning, you actually try to make the text better. I have actually kinda reworked some scenes, where the original author just couldn't where the characters' hands were "from shot to shot." But then there is a point where you just can't care anymore and want to get through it as soon as possible. Back in... 2012ish, when Fifty Shades came out in my country, the quality of the trabslation actually caused a scandal (and an unbelievable amount of memes), because the guy just couldn't care, and the text had stuff like "Lion King" (like the Hungarian title of the movie) instead of Kings of Leon (I've seen in webshops that they have published a new translation ever since). Plus I've heard about a practice employed by publishers (okay, I know of one publisher who did that) who deal with these kinds of novels (like, low-quality novels for entertainment): basically, they break the book into chapters, and send the individual chapters out to people who are applying for translation jobs as a test to see what they can do. Then when they have all the chapters (free!), they just have one person comb it together so to say
Whole Poland: We want to be known! We want to destroy the stereotypes that we are thieves and alcoholics! YES, we can do it! 365Days: Whole Poland: Oh fuck the hell no...
As someone whos dated a Male model "if hes hot enough " is not true at all. I left him cuz he's a drunk, doesn't matter how beautiful you are if you're ugly inside
Amanda, babe, sweetie, darling, take a break for your mental stability. Honestly, thank you for your sacrifice because I read this book in its entirety at the beginning of quarantine, March 12, 2020, and I'm still recovering.
I swear I will NEVER understand how any woman (some of my girl friends even) finds this story and this male character appealing and sexy. I know I'm probably preaching to the preacher here but....HOW?! It's 2021, ladies, for Pete's sake. I thought we were aiming for consensual sex these days, not sexual harassment and kidnapping.
I think it's because many women are afraid to do actual BDSM so reading a book or watch a movie about r*** fantasies are safer. In that regard I'm okay with it. What I'm not okay with is naive girls watching and playing these fantasies irl while lacking emotional maturity and knowledge on doing them safely.
@ about 5:00, when Amanda says “and then he starts assaulting her. We are literally three pages in.” Siri chose that exact moment to say “I don’t know how to respond to that.” 😂😭🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
You know what would be intersting is if Anna put a hit out on Massimo because she didn't like that Massimo kidnapped Laura, save Laura and then boom gay love story that would be 1000 times better
GOOD VIDEO, the next fanfic that hits theaters will be the story of a man who kills the family and friends of the woman he likes because he is insecure and does not know how to express his feelings but as he is attractive and wealthy that is adorable
Also don’t lie, many of us wanted Lara (Laura) with the bodyguard. Just once have the kidnapped “victim” with the genuinely nice bodyguard. More exciting than the sexy Stockholm syndrome.
"Why am I defending Christian Grey?" Less defending Christian and more just further dunking on Massimo, tbh. Cause if you're gonna be a stalker and have so much wealth, how are you this bad at it? Christian wasn't even a recognized criminal and he was better at it than this. If you're gonna rip off Fifty Shades, at least do it properly. Ah man, 11:03 just... Amanda, are you good after reading this? Are you okay? Cause that's... wow. "Is this supposed to be appealing?" If so, to... _who?_
I love romance novels. I have dozens of them in the library I’m creating. I do not, however, like poorly written, non-sexy romance novels... which is what this seems to be. I am morbidly curious to see how bad it is for myself. I like to know the limits of things.. the best authors and the worst snd compare and contrast. Debating ... hahaha
Honestly I used to think I did not like romance because all of them seemed the same. You had this ordinary girl with this super hot, super rich, super dominating and assholish guy, which I guess some people are into but I never got the appeal. Then I discovered romance books that weren't like that, that has sweet, healthy, and sexy relationships between normal people. Helen Hoang, Talia Hibbert, Christina Lauren, Jen DeLuca, Beth O Leary, they're good romance authors.
@@nessyness5447 true, I've been a romance reader since I was in 9th grade. Started with dark harry styles fan fiction. Then I discovered really good authors. In every romance toxicity is inevitable but what's good is sometimes, somehow good romance authors make sure that their characters cope and find a better way to make the relationship healthier. I mean, there's also books by Alexa Riley and Jessa Kane which are porn. Absolute porn, it's not trying so hard like 365 is. It doesn't have all this unnecessary drama to make the book longer. They just bang. That's it.
All I can think this entire time is "this...is a romance? Are you sure this isn't a horror/thriller?" I just can't imagine anyone reading this and thinking this is amazing, it makes me sick. Thank you for putting yourself through this so I don't need to.
as a polish person i beg you all to give another chance to our literature and cinematography! i promise that we have things what are better then this mess!
I enjoyed Olga Tokarczuk's books as well as the Witcher series (two very different types of books, I know). I also loved the movie Ida, and liked a Netflix movie called The Hater I watched recently. So yeah, I know that y'all are better than this.
Don't worry we know. I'm an loyal fan of the Witcher too (great great saga, go read the books, play the games, watch the serie, you will not regret it) !
Honestly, Christian is one of the few characters that has somewhat realistic resemblance of childhood trauma. Which is understandable on how he’s acting as an adult, only needs a lot of therapy and possibly some medication
I laughed way too hard at the birthday candle comparison. Like, I don't know what kinda candles they put on her cake in this book, but in my experience cake candles are really tiny.
I’m aware that kidnapping fantasies are a thing and that’s fine as long as it stays a fantasy (or even a role-play scene if you’re into CNC and all that jazz) but the problem with 50 Shades and 365 Days is how seriously they take themselves. You’re writing erotica, not the next Jane Eyre!
Also, kidnapping fantasies are usually that tbe kidnapping happens for some reason that is not the male protagonist being obssesef with the female lead ( maybe she was the daughter of his enemy or something). And then they somehow get to know each other and fall in love. That's the usual plot for kidnapping fantasy.
Massimo reminds me of that guy an author would put in their story to make the Christian Grey guy sound like an angel despite the toxic shit Christian has done himself.
Exactly! I understand that she was going for the "bad boy" stereotype, the allure of darkness and danger and what not...but a literal murderer and r*pist??? I can't...
they even did this trope in this one! with the guy who was doing child traffic, and that massimo arrested and then killed because he's such a brave guy....................it's in all the god*mn erotic franchises! what would it be next time? "listen, I may do human and child traffic with poor people who are used as objects and who have to work in conditions that could kill them in any second, but hey! I stopped a super villain mafia boss from exploding an entire country and saved the life of millions of people, so you see? I'm a good guy"
I heard that the heart condition was only there to put in time skips when she fainted. I don't know how true this is, but the author does seem like the type to do that.
@@rx500android With a heavy nod to "Romeo and Juliet." But it's not Shakespeare's fault that people took a tragedy as a blueprint for healthy, romantic relationships.
@@ArmednotTriggeredMaybe I should have said:"strongly inspired by" cause it's true "Secretary" is a great movie with a great cast. The script is so good. I agree, if it's a copy (and I really think it is) it' s not a good one, and also it's an "undercover" copy. So sad it wasn't a big success at its time.
The birthday candle peen had me dying. And fyi?if you have a heart condition you have to be really careful with alcohol and medications. How he didn't kill her, astounds me.
As an italian guy called Massimo you have no idea how many "Are you lost babygirl" I had to endure from my friends after we watched this film. The ironic thing is that the only reason we watched it is because we thought it was funny that he was called like me.
Wait, are we supposed to consider that creepy dude better than her original boyfriend just because the boyfriend was a workaholic with a tacky taste? I would have preferred working to being with a girlfriend that keeps belittling me in public for the most stupid reasons...
and like she learned what the creepy dude did to her ex, he killed another ex and she like didn't even give a fuck. Honestly if she is like this she is equally psycologically fucked up and they both deserve eachother.
A guy can be kind, charitable, compassionate, and have a little "bad boy" edge while being a responsible adult, but if he hooks up with another woman the moment he gets drugged and manipulated into thinking you dumped him via Dear John letter in a foreign country, then that shows he was a jerk all along. A guy who breaks up with his girlfriend because he can finally kidnap the woman he's obsessed with, then makes the kidnap victim he's trying to court watch him with another woman? That's a keeper.

Yeah it’s a good thing she got away from her relationship with her workaholic boyfriend. If there’s anything I know about mafioso, it’s that they *definitely* have very relaxed schedules that allow for a couple to reaaalllly get to spend time together, without having to suddenly disappear for a week for undisclosed reasons.
They always do that in these badly written romances. Portray the boyfriend the main woman starts with as a dick to justify her cheating on him with the male lead.
‚Fun’ fact: in the original Laura doesn’t call him „man in black”, she just calls him „czarny”, which is literally „black” as an adjective. It’s so uncomfortable to read because in Poland „czarny” said in a harmful manner is basically the N-word. I was honestly intrigued how in the world would they translate it to English so it makes sense and I gotta admit, „man in black” sounds a lot better. By the way, a little spoiler: later in the series a second important guy shows up who’s only special trait is that he has a lot of tatoos. And just as Massimo was „black”, the other guy was just described as „c o l o r f u l” for the rest of the series. I honestly feel bad for anyone who had to work on the translation. This book is an illiterate mess even in Polish, translating something that already doesn’t make sense must be a nightmare.
Woah. I thought it might be Laura's way of saying he looked like a "tall, dark, and handsome" or "dark and brooding" romantic male lead, but that doesn't sound like it fits with the translation.
@@tto198 Yeah, honestly, I dig the translation more. The original version sounds as if Lipińska didn’t get anything proofread, like there was no editor work done, which makes it feel even more like a Wattpad fanfiction. She can’t even really be called a writer, she wrote 365 on a whim. Translation actually makes it look more like a book because somebody cared for it to sound good. There’s literally nothing romantic about the original, not even in the language used.
Sorry if this sounds off but idk who to ask.... Why didn't the Polish government censor this considering they are pro-catholic and all? Also, how did most Poles react to the release of the book IRL? Because on the internet, most of them seem to hate it lol
@@zenn8728 Gen Z and millenials in majority hate it but most people just... don't care? They don't treat this seriously, it's just a "stupid book". I bet there are a lot of pro catholic people out there demanding Lipińska's head and all, but we don't censor books. This is against the constitution and freedom of speech and if the government did that, they would straight up admit that they want to control all media. Though the ruling party is so effed up I wouldn't be surprised if they started doing something like that. But the first victim would be any LGBTQ content and not actually harmful smut written by a very toxic person. Not to mention it's still a Polish book that gained international popularity. And unfortunately most annoying "typical Polish" people love being talked about, no matter if it's good or bad fame.
@@zenn8728 I just want to add that it's not that all media in Poland are censored. It is mainly focused on public television. Recently, there is also more and more talk about changes in school textbooks to more "appropriate" 🙄 But the government doesn't censor books from private publishing houses (Well... yet) For example Red, white and Royal Blue was published here! However I agree with Patrycja that probably the first such victime would be rather LGBTQ+ content, unfortunately.
So... how's everyone else doing?

@@marishapruitt5935 I call it the luck of the draw, or the author knew someone...
Basically the next J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis get traded for smut, which makes sense with what’s happening to the Simmarilian/LOTR series on Amazon.
@@doopdoopdopdop7424 you mean the Amazon series that no one has seen and that we barely have any information on, that hired an intimacy coordinator? Just so you know IC are on every set, for everything from hand holding to fight scenes that have both genders. Even the original LOTR trilogy had one. Stop running with headlines.
It’s still beyond me how did that book ever broke out of this country. Believe me or not, but Lipińska isn’t actually the first one to try making „the Polish 50 Shades”, we had a couple of aspiring smut writers here for a while but their books were mostly harmless smut, hardly anyone knew about them. Yet out of all of those the one to actually reach international popularity is the most toxic and ignorant, from a woman who dares to call herself a „feminist” and claim that she doesn’t see any sexual assaults in her book.
*when the movie's so bad you started defending Christian Grey*
I mean Christian was abused as a child, the hell is M problem? He lived like a prince from the day he was born. You would think a mafia guy who always gets what he wants from the women he pays for sex, would know what not to do to make a woman love him for real.
Christian learned from the wrong person. Masimo never bothered to learn by the right ones. It's on him honestly
In this case it’s the book

I mean, not even gonna lie, done right, that could be a fascinating story to read.
Then again, the same goes for the broad strokes of the plot of 50 Shades, but hey.
Okay but why does that sound like a lit idea for a book?? 😂😂
I actually read somewhere that, Blanka Lipinska stated that whenever she didn't know how to continue the story, she simply made Laura faint or have a heart-related faint. The✨creativity✨.
Wow, this shows a lot about the writer. It shows that the author is lazy and can't plan ahead, she doesn't really care about the female character.
That's the sort of thing I do in my first drafts, and I'll only keep it if it's relevant. But those characters faint for either trauma or injury-related reasons that actually affect the story so I suppose this whole comment was pointless, whoops.
I have never once had a character faint unless it was from extreme exhaustion or injury. I cannot imagine writing “and then she fainted” every time I got stuck in one of my stories.

When will people learn that BDSM can only really work with the proper use of consent and when it's compartmentalized into the bedroom without affecting how you treat each other in regular life?
@@JP-et9hv That's just the thing: The urge to be 'dominated' in bed isn't too uncommon, but we are aware that these fantasies have to be approached in a safe fashion - which means either in a consenting relationship where true control is never relinquished (e.g. safe words) or in fiction.
The problem with fiction likes this and many many many many many others is that it paints the wrong picture, it doesn't show that in reality it's not a choice between either an abusive partner that gives you the rough sex you like or a kind partner that's just vanilla but that you can actually mix and match. A not insignificant part of why so many women can't seem to get out of a cycle of bad relationships is that they feel they can only get the sexual fulfillment from those that treat them badly in every walk of life.
@@JP-et9hv Good lord humanity is screwed 🥲
@@JP-et9hv I'm not defending this tripe, but I can also see how addressing consent in a work of fiction can kind of break the fantasy since, if I'm right, the fantasy is all about giving up control, where the reality is that the sub sets the limits and just trusts the dom to respect them.
@@JP-et9hv I know, I know, but, devil's advocate here, maybe the authors of this trash feel like actually establising/adressing consent would break the fantasy or something, idk.
Just a quick addon: There are actually 24/7 BDSM arrangements that work for people (not my cup of tea). But even then, there should be rational discussions beforehand, safewords and all that.
Some people like to be dominated, even out of the bedroom, and that's cool by me, if they still have the power and means to end that situation whenever they need or want to. (Also, never involve innocent bystanders into you BDSM stuff, that's just disrespectful)
This title gets incredibly worse when one gets to read interviews with the author. She called herself a "modern-day feminist" that fights for the sexual independence of women. Because, of course, all women want is non-consensual, forceful sex - it is what truly frees them. She actually believes that by writing this crap she fights for women's rights. Also, at the same time, she believes that it is a man's job to provide money and a woman's job to not work, look pretty, and be adorned by gifts. So, very feminist approach indeed.
One should also talk about the absolute narcissism of the author and how she projects on the main character. After the makeover, Laura looks exactly like Blanka Lipinska. Additionally, she actually put herself on the cover of the second book.
Blanka is so stupid
These are the people who give feminism a bad name. There is actually great erotica written by women (no need to be a feminist for that) where all the kinks are thrown around with good writing and logic so it’s believable. Anyway, these books are written like an adult movie scenario, it’s not about the logic, it’s about getting to the D in P part lol.
She wouldn’t know feminism if it bit her in the ass. She’s just using it to try and make herself look better. “See guys? I’m a feminist so that makes everything magically okay.” She’s trying to use it as an end all be all excuse.
She also say it was all consensual when it isent imao
That’s hilarious. Wow 😆
‘I’m so pro-feminist that’s why I depicted a women in a toxic abusive relationship that completely revolves around sex and she has extremely little control in the matter nor does she ever fight back.’
The author said she made Laura faint when she didn't know what to write. What a great writer. She also made Laura change her hairdo to similar to her's.
That’s hilarious, she’s a terrible writer 🤣
now my writing seems better when it’s actually crap
@@nattyism it definitely is, don't you dare compare yourself to that piece of crap

Books like these are dangerous to impressionable women because it romanticizes psychopathic and abusive behaviour. It blatantly excuses those toxic behaviours as long as men are 1) extremely attractive 2) rich 3) obsessed with the protagonist. In real life, once the woman is in too deep with those toxic men, it gets too hard to leave and they will slowly shrink into depression. I've seen it up close and I would never wish it to any person.
Now, I'm going to have to disagree with you there, just because you're parroting the old "protect the delicate lady sensibilities from the evil novels, they can't tell fiction from reality" bit.
I've seen it up close. I've lived a milder version (emotional abuse and manipulation, only). I still like my heroine/villain pairings, even extremely fucked up ones. I just prefer them to be well-written.
What my sick little brain sometimes likes in fiction has no bearing on what I like IRL and know to run screaming from.
These types of stuff should not be mainstream

I would like to point out that “written like a fanfic” isn’t always a bad thing. I’ve read fantastically written fanfics. I have read fanfics that I knew nothing about the fandom it came from; I just read it because the author was incredible. Fanfics get such a bad reputation, but they’re a good place for a writer to stretch their wings and get writing tips from others in the community so that they can learn. The problem is when the problematic writers are the ones getting popular and I think that says more about our culture than our fanfic writers.
this. I agree :)
Agreed 100%. There are amazing authors out there who totally deserve the opportunity to get their original stories published, but noooo, we only get the worst of the worst. I wonder a lot about the reasons why this kind of stories get so popular, and every single one of them is so concerning.
agreed, i bumped into this drarry fanfic in my native language and oh my god the writing styles and the words choices are immaculate. my native language, bahasa, doesn't really have that much of words but the fact that I had to open my dictionary back and forth shows how ignorant i was and not all fanfics are bad or written by 10-something year old kids. neither the dialogs nor the plots make me cringe, surprisingly xD
Which is why the right term should be: "written like a bad fanfiction". I've read some pretty awesome ones too
I feel that. I once read this fan fiction that had such a good plot and writing that I wished it wasn’t a fan fiction. It’s because I wanted this to be an actual book where people can buy it and it will have a movie made about it
"The man in black who was now in white." I wish that was a running joke throughout the book. Like, she calls him that but keeps substituting in whatever he's wearing at the moment. It would be better than any of the other attempts at comedy in this book.

it really reads like its meant for a very niche crowd of ppl with a specific fetish, which makes it surprising to me that it's become as mainstream as it is. There are countless books and fanfics like this out there that are pure fetish and fantasy fuel with plot existing only to structure the horny stuff somehow, but usually those stories just stay in their little communities and don't get made into feature-length movies. we live in an interesting time
Ur theory is just so funny... cause it's true. She basically admitted in one of polish interviews that she wrote this book, because she didn't have sex for a long time xd
So, in her act of desperation she just came up with this and know we all suffer for it? I mean, I'm into some kinky shit, like holding hands and having meaningful conversations, but that don't mean Imma right some cringy stuff.
You just answered your own question lol.
Actually most of fanfictions depict abuse and assault, even teenager fanfics. Like "After", wich also became a book and a movie.
As a Polish guy who has read the book in Polish I can assure you, that the translator had nothing to do with its, ekhem, mediocrity in the style/ language department. In Poland the general consensus is something along the lines of "yes, a high schooler could have written this book and you wouldn't notice any difference". And from the bottom of my heart: I feel your pain. 365 Days is a nightmare to go through
Thanks for confirming what I FELT I already knew
I think you've just insulted all high schoolers around the world. I don't get how this book was even published XD

RIP Amanda The Jedi. She was one of the greatest people I knew, and I looked up to her greatly. Her tragic death at the hands of the 365 Days novel shocked me to the core. But wherever she is now, I hope she’s happier than she was here- I’m so sorry, I just miss her so much...

“How many toxic traits can you include?”
365 Days: Yes
In 2018, a Polish writer, Olga Tokarczuk, won the Nobel Prize in literature. In 2019 Blanka Lipińska wrote 365 days.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
In fifty shades series, Christian Grey character had a really terrible childhood filled with trauma. But, after he meets Anastasia, he really give some effort to continue his treatment and to become better everyday. Also, let's not forget that Christian Grey loves consent so much that he gets an actual court paper of consent which he calls Non Disclosure Agreement where he discuss he sex partner's limits. But, 365dni actually celebrated Stockholm Syndrome and abuse on women.
THANK YOU. I'm not saying Christian wasn't toxic, but he understood consent, had a viable reason for his toxicity and tried to be better.
He isn't a complete Saint, but Massimo is just....... I can't even say anything
@Debolina Mondal Finally someone, thank you!!!

The crazy thing about books like these is that despite the sex and their image as "naughty" or "dirty" they are in fact so deeply conservative
No, that's not crazy, it's exactly why these get popular. Conservative people are as kinky as the rest of us they just pretend they're not
@@ladyredl3210 I dont think its about the kink, its power dynamics and the "submissive women with dominant man" idea. This can be a kink if everyone involved knows that it only applies to the bedroom and not to the general world order. But these movies and books take this outside of the bedroom and apply it to the real world and that is the conservative element to it.

That actually reminds me of this old movie from the Balkans, where a mobster keeps refering to this young girl hes in love with as an angel. Tho in his defense it comes up when she asks him why he doesnt touch her or want to fuck her, and he says something among the lines of: youre an angel, angels arent for fucking. and he actually doesnt.
@@BambiLena666 that actually sounds like a decent movie compared to 365.
Where's the respect, I'm looking but can't find it
Somebody give her a trophy for making it through this thing.
Here’s a quote from Amanda that perfectly sums up how I feel about this book:
“I am going to have an aneurysm.”
I have often doubted my own writing abilities even writing fanfic and that I'll probably won't get published or write films, etc. And then I remember that the 365 and 50 Shades of Gray book exists. If they get published then maybe I can too. lol
well I most certainly hope you're able to improve your writing skills and become a renowned writer one day or another,buddy!:D
You know, I think the same thing all the time! If they can do it, SO CAN I! And hopefully I won't cause people to lose faith in humanity 😅

@@robertschneider8808 no, I am saying this is funny
@@tenaradocaj4416 yeah i got that, I was trying to give a funny response, guess this didn't translate too well into written text.
You pronounced her name very correctly! There's a scandal with her involved - a very prestigious club in Gdańsk (from what I remember, but might be different city) was actually a rich brothel and she was like a scout for escorts in there. Once she said the book was inspired by her own story.
Their kid: “Mommy? How did you meet daddy?”
Laura: “oh yeah funny story uh he kidnapped me and threatened to kill my family if I don’t stay with him😀”
LMAOOOO
Wait what 😃? Did he ever think about killing her family? I just saw the movie and I didn't realize or have heard about it. I'm... speechless 😶
@@antonella839 ...Amanda literally mentioned it in the video.
@@coffeepowered6033 oh thank you now you found out I didn't watch the whole video 😂
"He also became obsessed with me just because I was the last person he saw after being shot."
That kid's gonna be traumatised. I feel so bad for them having to grow up in that loveless home, with 2 abusive bozos who have *no* qualifications to be parents.
Trees died for the physical copies to exist... and I was actually steaming mad when watching the earlier review for the movie, but I just can't get my blood pressure up for that now. Guess Amanda doing that to herself has to suffice.
Translator here. I have translated books of similar caliber, and to tell the truth... there is a point when you just give up, when you just stop caring. At the beginning, you actually try to make the text better. I have actually kinda reworked some scenes, where the original author just couldn't where the characters' hands were "from shot to shot." But then there is a point where you just can't care anymore and want to get through it as soon as possible. Back in... 2012ish, when Fifty Shades came out in my country, the quality of the trabslation actually caused a scandal (and an unbelievable amount of memes), because the guy just couldn't care, and the text had stuff like "Lion King" (like the Hungarian title of the movie) instead of Kings of Leon (I've seen in webshops that they have published a new translation ever since).
Plus I've heard about a practice employed by publishers (okay, I know of one publisher who did that) who deal with these kinds of novels (like, low-quality novels for entertainment): basically, they break the book into chapters, and send the individual chapters out to people who are applying for translation jobs as a test to see what they can do. Then when they have all the chapters (free!), they just have one person comb it together so to say
! Free labor!!

I swear I will NEVER understand how any woman (some of my girl friends even) finds this story and this male character appealing and sexy. I know I'm probably preaching to the preacher here but....HOW?! It's 2021, ladies, for Pete's sake. I thought we were aiming for consensual sex these days, not sexual harassment and kidnapping.
This book shouldnt have been published...i liked that the guy was hot but not the character he was playing...most of the time i wanted to punch him
I’m my friend group this is just straight up a comedy.
It because of the actor..idk if he is still popular now but I did not get the hype
I think it's because many women are afraid to do actual BDSM so reading a book or watch a movie about r*** fantasies are safer.
In that regard I'm okay with it. What I'm not okay with is naive girls watching and playing these fantasies irl while lacking emotional maturity and knowledge on doing them safely.

Also don’t lie, many of us wanted Lara (Laura) with the bodyguard. Just once have the kidnapped “victim” with the genuinely nice bodyguard. More exciting than the sexy Stockholm syndrome.
"Why am I defending Christian Grey?" Less defending Christian and more just further dunking on Massimo, tbh. Cause if you're gonna be a stalker and have so much wealth, how are you this bad at it? Christian wasn't even a recognized criminal and he was better at it than this. If you're gonna rip off Fifty Shades, at least do it properly.

These types of books are the reason y the romance genre gets tons of negative criticism :'(
These type of books somehow make women feel like they're better than men watching porn
I love romance novels. I have dozens of them in the library I’m creating. I do not, however, like poorly written, non-sexy romance novels... which is what this seems to be. I am morbidly curious to see how bad it is for myself. I like to know the limits of things.. the best authors and the worst snd compare and contrast. Debating ... hahaha
Honestly I used to think I did not like romance because all of them seemed the same. You had this ordinary girl with this super hot, super rich, super dominating and assholish guy, which I guess some people are into but I never got the appeal. Then I discovered romance books that weren't like that, that has sweet, healthy, and sexy relationships between normal people. Helen Hoang, Talia Hibbert, Christina Lauren, Jen DeLuca, Beth O Leary, they're good romance authors.
Tbh ,most popular romance have toxic elements, the well written ones are just better at making it look romantic.
@@nessyness5447 true, I've been a romance reader since I was in 9th grade. Started with dark harry styles fan fiction. Then I discovered really good authors. In every romance toxicity is inevitable but what's good is sometimes, somehow good romance authors make sure that their characters cope and find a better way to make the relationship healthier. I mean, there's also books by Alexa Riley and Jessa Kane which are porn. Absolute porn, it's not trying so hard like 365 is. It doesn't have all this unnecessary drama to make the book longer. They just bang. That's it.
All I can think this entire time is "this...is a romance? Are you sure this isn't a horror/thriller?" I just can't imagine anyone reading this and thinking this is amazing, it makes me sick. Thank you for putting yourself through this so I don't need to.
as a polish person i beg you all to give another chance to our literature and cinematography! i promise that we have things what are better then this mess!
I enjoyed Olga Tokarczuk's books as well as the Witcher series (two very different types of books, I know). I also loved the movie Ida, and liked a Netflix movie called The Hater I watched recently. So yeah, I know that y'all are better than this.
Don't worry we know. I'm an loyal fan of the Witcher too (great great saga, go read the books, play the games, watch the serie, you will not regret it) !
no issue hell h@tr3d (a polish game) is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Ashes and Diamonds was what Poland was known for film-wise in my country before this mess. You poor bastards.
No worries. I know that not all polish people read and write stuff or make films like this.
"Christian Grey would've known about the heart condition; WHY am I defending Christian Grey?" 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, Christian is one of the few characters that has somewhat realistic resemblance of childhood trauma. Which is understandable on how he’s acting as an adult, only needs a lot of therapy and possibly some medication
I laughed way too hard at the birthday candle comparison. Like, I don't know what kinda candles they put on her cake in this book, but in my experience cake candles are really tiny.
I’m aware that kidnapping fantasies are a thing and that’s fine as long as it stays a fantasy (or even a role-play scene if you’re into CNC and all that jazz) but the problem with 50 Shades and 365 Days is how seriously they take themselves. You’re writing erotica, not the next Jane Eyre!
Also, kidnapping fantasies are usually that tbe kidnapping happens for some reason that is not the male protagonist being obssesef with the female lead ( maybe she was the daughter of his enemy or something). And then they somehow get to know each other and fall in love. That's the usual plot for kidnapping fantasy.
How seriously would one be allowed to take themself with a BDSM erotica retelling of Jane Eyre? Asking for a friend.

As an italian guy called Massimo you have no idea how many "Are you lost babygirl" I had to endure from my friends after we watched this film. The ironic thing is that the only reason we watched it is because we thought it was funny that he was called like me.
Being a Latino named Jesus suddenly seems cool.
reading smut is already awkward, just imagine LISTENING to it💀
Wait, are we supposed to consider that creepy dude better than her original boyfriend just because the boyfriend was a workaholic with a tacky taste? I would have preferred working to being with a girlfriend that keeps belittling me in public for the most stupid reasons...
and like she learned what the creepy dude did to her ex, he killed another ex and she like didn't even give a fuck. Honestly if she is like this she is equally psycologically fucked up and they both deserve eachother.
A guy can be kind, charitable, compassionate, and have a little "bad boy" edge while being a responsible adult, but if he hooks up with another woman the moment he gets drugged and manipulated into thinking you dumped him via Dear John letter in a foreign country, then that shows he was a jerk all along. A guy who breaks up with his girlfriend because he can finally kidnap the woman he's obsessed with, then makes the kidnap victim he's trying to court watch him with another woman? That's a keeper. A keeper that's keeping someone else hostage under threat of harm to their family, but no one's perfect.
@@tto198 i thought i was drunk reading this. but no. no, am sober. the breakdown of this story simply had pushed me nearing and nearing edge of sanity that i couldn't tell up from down anymore.
Yeah it’s a good thing she got away from her relationship with her workaholic boyfriend. If there’s anything I know about mafioso, it’s that they *definitely* have very relaxed schedules that allow for a couple to reaaalllly get to spend time together, without having to suddenly disappear for a week for undisclosed reasons.
They always do that in these badly written romances. Portray the boyfriend the main woman starts with as a dick to justify her cheating on him with the male lead.

I lost it when she said “I have friends with kids and I’m out here explaining polish smut”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
‚Fun’ fact: in the original Laura doesn’t call him „man in black”, she just calls him „czarny”, which is literally „black” as an adjective. It’s so uncomfortable to read because in Poland „czarny” said in a harmful manner is basically the N-word. I was honestly intrigued how in the world would they translate it to English so it makes sense and I gotta admit, „man in black” sounds a lot better.
By the way, a little spoiler: later in the series a second important guy shows up who’s only special trait is that he has a lot of tatoos. And just as Massimo was „black”, the other guy was just described as „c o l o r f u l” for the rest of the series.
I honestly feel bad for anyone who had to work on the translation. This book is an illiterate mess even in Polish, translating something that already doesn’t make sense must be a nightmare.
Woah. I thought it might be Laura's way of saying he looked like a "tall, dark, and handsome" or "dark and brooding" romantic male lead, but that doesn't sound like it fits with the translation.
@@tto198 Yeah, honestly, I dig the translation more. The original version sounds as if Lipińska didn’t get anything proofread, like there was no editor work done, which makes it feel even more like a Wattpad fanfiction. She can’t even really be called a writer, she wrote 365 on a whim. Translation actually makes it look more like a book because somebody cared for it to sound good. There’s literally nothing romantic about the original, not even in the language used.
Sorry if this sounds off but idk who to ask.... Why didn't the Polish government censor this considering they are pro-catholic and all? Also, how did most Poles react to the release of the book IRL? Because on the internet, most of them seem to hate it lol
@@zenn8728 Gen Z and millenials in majority hate it but most people just... don't care? They don't treat this seriously, it's just a "stupid book". I bet there are a lot of pro catholic people out there demanding Lipińska's head and all, but we don't censor books. This is against the constitution and freedom of speech and if the government did that, they would straight up admit that they want to control all media. Though the ruling party is so effed up I wouldn't be surprised if they started doing something like that. But the first victim would be any LGBTQ content and not actually harmful smut written by a very toxic person. Not to mention it's still a Polish book that gained international popularity. And unfortunately most annoying "typical Polish" people love being talked about, no matter if it's good or bad fame.
@@zenn8728
I just want to add that it's not that all media in Poland are censored. It is mainly focused on public television. Recently, there is also more and more talk about changes in school textbooks to more "appropriate" 🙄
But the government doesn't censor books from private publishing houses (Well... yet)
For example Red, white and Royal Blue was published here! However I agree with Patrycja that probably the first such victime would be rather LGBTQ+ content, unfortunately.
