My unpopular opinion would be that I can't read too smutty books because i feel like they have no plot.Also I hate dark romances they are way too toxic for my taste.
Yeah I am getting so sick of dark romances. Like… especially when the guy is a really bad person but has some trait or a tragic backstory, so it’s all excused. Also I hate how most of the female leads in most books I read, especially YA fantasy/dystopia/romance just melt together, they have maybe one trait that is different from the others, it’s getting so boring. I kind of didn’t like her, but due to that, Jude from The Cruel Prince was refreshing for me. She makes so many mistakes, and sometimes I wish there was a moment where she learns her lesson, but we know why she does the things she does. She’s not a safe and boring character like most female leads. Male leads are also repetitive at times, but I think they almost always have some charming trait that makes us like them anyways, and I WISH THEY DID THAT FOR FEMALE LEADS. Or better yet, give them a personality other than plain, usually kind of quiet, nice most of the time, and smart. Also a backstory other than having dead parents. PLEASE.
Yes on the rating system! I still rate city of bones a 5 stars today even if after having reread it so many times I can see all the "flaws" bc it's literally the book that got me into reading back in middle school & then I'll turn around & read a book that I think is better than city of bones but give that a 4 stars LOL I used to think Im not allowed to rate certain books "too high" or "too low" but at this point idc anymore my ratings are literally just for me
the thing i dislike about series is that i always make myself read the first book, wether it’s good or not, and then i’m like “well what if it gets better” and than i read the second one and at that point i’ve already invested too much time to just not finish the series, so i will almost always finish a series even if it’s terrible
when you said its okay to have an inconsistent rating system i felt that in my soul because i could give two books the same rating but my feelings about those two books could be SO different😅 I also love searching everything up on wikia
okay but i am just now realizing that i NEVER pronounced anything in Six of Crows or Shadow and Bone until i learned how to from watching the show- like how? i guess we’re just built different 😎💪🏼
A VERY unpopular opinion I have is that I absolutely love major character death in books and I think it should be done more often especially in YA fantasy books. I'm so sick of reading books were some big battle happens and everyone ends up coming out of it without a scratch . I think most of my infatuation with this trope comes from the fact that I already have enough sadness in life , and using a book as an excuse to cry over relieves the pain a bit(lmao) BTW I love your videos!
IM THE OPPOSITE OMG,,, I feel like character deaths are overdone and if a book can be sad and make me cry without having someone die is like,,, praise to the author
THIS!! That's basically why in game of thrones George RR Martin decided to kill so many major characters because he thinks it's very unrealistic for a group of people going into battle or something and all of them survived. It's kinda painful but I like that better.
woah the name thing is so relatable lmaooo its like I just visualise the name in my head as im reading it and move on and like sometimes if you asked me to tell you the character's name I honestly wouldn't be able to say anything because I've just never tried to sound it out
i think it depends on the genre, but i actually prefer series or like a series in which the books can be read as standalones 🤔 just feels more complete, idk
when u said u don't pronounce things in your head and pointed out Leigh Bardugo's books in particular I immediately thought of the nichevo'ya. The whole time reading Siege and Storm & Ruin and Rising I would just look at the word but never pronounce it lol! Miss Bardugo's really out here using convoluted words and expecting us to know how to say them.
my unpopular book opinions (some that i feel are REALLY unpopular): - i don't like deckled edges - i think special edition books (eg. illumicrate editions, b&n/target exclusive chapters) are a scam that cause readers to spend more money than they should - books should be treated as utilitarian art rather than just consumable objects/media - i will not read a book solely based on what kind of representation is featured, and people who do do this i feel tokenize bipoc and their experiences as something they can check off their list of diversity, equity, and inclusion for their reading. diversity in books is incredibly important, but reading diverse books with only this intention undermines the author's experiences, what messages and themes the author is trying to convey, and the story itself. - most "classic" books are actually good (looking at you "catcher in the rye") but they were either forced upon hs students for class or they need more background/historical information to understand better
i feel you for real, its a commotion in my notes too😭 but i agree with the majority of what you said, especially that your fav books, even 5 star books, just give that feeeeeling. its like magical in a way like im not gonna give a 10 page dissertation on why this book is good, its just good okay😭
I'm the exact opposite with book stains, cracked spines and dog ears🤣🤣 I honestly don't know why I just love new books to be pristine hahaha, which is why I end up buying used books all the time so I try to avoid that obsession (and it also means I don't have to fear lending it to people). Totally agree about the rating system, sometimes I'd give 5 stars not always because of positive feelings, but because of the way its written, or even solely because of the characters etc❤
omg you made me feel so seen with the food stains and crumbles thing 🤣 it literally happens to me all the time, the moment I buy a book I just Know it's gonna end up looking like a used napkin
i totally relate to not pronouncing names or places !! and i only realize it when i'm trying to rant about it to someone else and i have zero idea how to say it 😂😂
Also, I agree! There are many books that have mediocre vibes and they will just have good punctuation use, and I will love them! Ps: “Minor detail is a book I still haven’t finished reading 😩
I HATE Colleen Hoover. I read 2 books and they were really bad. I loved YA as a teen, but now I find them cringey and poorly written. Not sure if the books back then were better? I’m in my 20s.
Omg fr. I don't HATE her books, but the way she was hyped up made me expect more. I started reading her first book, it ends with us. And was a bit disappointed because it was hyped up SO much so I was expecting more. Not a BAD book but it was ok. Then I read Regretting You, Reminders of him and Ugly Love. And i didnt get why she is so hyped. I mean her writing style is average and so are the storylines. Again, not saying they're BAD but they're not worth the hype in my honest opinion.
I don't hate her but I am not a fan of her female leads. I have tried getting to her book it ends with us, dropped it in around the...third or second chapter then Verity, dropped it by the 2nd chapter ugly love I am trying to lower my expectations so that I can read it. Skimming through the book....not bad but I don't like her female leads they remind me of sad, typical cliché nothing interesting than feeling sad all the time y/n in fanfics (no hate to fanfictions. They are awesome and I love em to death but honestly I know a number of fanfics that a better in my opinion)
Kim, i really love the feeling that your videos give me, thay come out as really stress free and confortable, as if i was just hanging out with a friend. Thanks for that, I really appreciate it
So many booktubers say they hate the 3rd act conflict in romance books but damn I love them 😭 I am HERE for the mess, the drama, the groveling, all of it even if it’s not objectively great.
Omg, I am a very feelings-oriented person, and I always can tell when something rubs me the wrong way, or I am absolutely in love with something, BUT SINCE MY BRAIN IS SUCH AN INFURIATING LITTLE BITCH, I have zero confidence in my opinions on anything, such as books I read. Especially if I like it. It can’t just make me happy, it needs to have some deeper meaning, or a reason why it is such a superior piece of art. Which is really stupid because I usually don’t have a logical reason for why I like something, so therefor I look for any second opinion I can find that gives me a reason to like a book, so I can justify it for myself. And then if a review or something is negative, I just ignore it lol especially if I’ve already decided something is comforting to me, cause I’m only looking for confirmation. Like my brain is acting like I need a whole list of reasons to like something, so I can feel sure about liking it. It’s definitely my heaping pile of insecurity that I usually have some control over, but it seeps out from time to time. It’s even worse when I want someone to read a book I like, because I will legit give them a whole essay about why they should read it, like I am making a business proposition, not a book suggestion. And I always want them to tell me their opinion afterwards, and usually they don’t know that, so I then and just really sad or annoyingly ask them what they think about it. I think I just need to CHILL, and trust my feelings and that no one is going to judge me if they don’t agree. Idk if anyone else relates to this, or if it’s just my sensitive-anxious self lol.
1. I love when books are sad without huge character deaths 2. Colleen hoover is bad… it ends with us is good but like her writing spoonfeeds us what’s happening and like no representation or poc MCs 3. Sarah j maas and other authors liek that who don’t write poc MCs are harmful 4. Booktok books are trash but I read them bc I can’t find other ones 😭😭 they’re all the same and like the same four get rotated 5. It’s really hard for books to like click for me and make me give it five stars and idk if it’s just me but 😭😭
you’re so right but I feel like white authors don’t write poc mc’s because they don’t know the experience or how to write a character from that background.
Sunny I just discovered your channel and can I just say your energy is unmatched! Your videos are great and it’s nice to find a fellow undergrad student trying to balance the college life with the reading life 😅 Keep being amazing!
you should read Marissa Meyers' criminally underrated trilogy Rengades. it's got dystopia, a slowwww burn romance, and superheroes that has the mcu quaking hehe
I agree with the shadow and vine comment, although most of that is just that I don’t like ya. by reading the first chapter I thought it was middle grade fantasy (my genre) i didn’t realize it was like an epilogue.
Here is my unpopular opinion, i like bromance more then romance, lile to me its just better lol😊👑 Also i like bromance in movies to! Like i was watching one so guy 1 is in a moving truck trying to stop this bomb from going off, guy 2 is in a helicopter flying above guy 1, so basicly guy 1 says " you better get out of here" (cause you know gheres a bomb that could blow up) and the guy 2 says somthing like "noway, you go kaboom i go kaboom" Ahhhhh i just love bromance🤩

Omg I have the opposite problem - it takes a LOT for me to commit all the way thru
are we the same person 🥲
when you said its okay to have an inconsistent rating system i felt that in my soul because i could give two books the same rating but my feelings about those two books could be SO different😅 I also love searching everything up on wikia
YESS

THEY RLLY DOOO
okay but i am just now realizing that i NEVER pronounced anything in Six of Crows or Shadow and Bone until i learned how to from watching the show- like how? i guess we’re just built different 😎💪🏼

the kruge pronunciation really messed me up in the show

THIS!! That's basically why in game of thrones George RR Martin decided to kill so many major characters because he thinks it's very unrealistic for a group of people going into battle or something and all of them survived. It's kinda painful but I like that better.
You should watch attack on Titan everyone basically dies in it lol 🤣
woah the name thing is so relatable lmaooo its like I just visualise the name in my head as im reading it and move on and like sometimes if you asked me to tell you the character's name I honestly wouldn't be able to say anything because I've just never tried to sound it out
EXACTLY
PLEASE do a video where you show us your fan casting for popular books😩
If you love a good slowburn romance, The Raven Cycle is sooo good for that. You might not see it in the first book, but by the end you know❤
I LOVE THAT SERIES
@@sunnykimreads it is life. The romance. The friendships. The dreamer 😱😱
i think it depends on the genre, but i actually prefer series or like a series in which the books can be read as standalones 🤔 just feels more complete, idk
MMMM I SEE THAT
when u said u don't pronounce things in your head and pointed out Leigh Bardugo's books in particular I immediately thought of the nichevo'ya. The whole time reading Siege and Storm & Ruin and Rising I would just look at the word but never pronounce it lol! Miss Bardugo's really out here using convoluted words and expecting us to know how to say them.
I still never pronounce that 🤩
this comment made me realise that i’ve never pronounced that word before
Hahah my language is simmilar to Russian so i had no problem with those words , but I pronounced Wylan's name wrong for the entirety of SoC
my unpopular book opinions (some that i feel are REALLY unpopular):
- i don't like deckled edges
- i think special edition books (eg. illumicrate editions, b&n/target exclusive chapters) are a scam that cause readers to spend more money than they should
- books should be treated as utilitarian art rather than just consumable objects/media
- i will not read a book solely based on what kind of representation is featured, and people who do do this i feel tokenize bipoc and their experiences as something they can check off their list of diversity, equity, and inclusion for their reading. diversity in books is incredibly important, but reading diverse books with only this intention undermines the author's experiences, what messages and themes the author is trying to convey, and the story itself.
- most "classic" books are actually good (looking at you "catcher in the rye") but they were either forced upon hs students for class or they need more background/historical information to understand better
I hate deckle edges. I look to run my hand along the page as I read and that totally ruins it.
i feel you for real, its a commotion in my notes too😭 but i agree with the majority of what you said, especially that your fav books, even 5 star books, just give that feeeeeling. its like magical in a way like im not gonna give a 10 page dissertation on why this book is good, its just good okay😭
YES
I'm the exact opposite with book stains, cracked spines and dog ears🤣🤣 I honestly don't know why I just love new books to be pristine hahaha, which is why I end up buying used books all the time so I try to avoid that obsession (and it also means I don't have to fear lending it to people). Totally agree about the rating system, sometimes I'd give 5 stars not always because of positive feelings, but because of the way its written, or even solely because of the characters etc❤
Omg okay but I do love that for u 💗💗
omg you made me feel so seen with the food stains and crumbles thing 🤣 it literally happens to me all the time, the moment I buy a book I just Know it's gonna end up looking like a used napkin
BAHAHAHA
no because i would just cast timothee chalemet for every lead love interest
BAHAHAHA
what you said about rating both books you didn’t like and a books you liked with three stars >>> facts
LOLOLL
i totally relate to not pronouncing names or places !! and i only realize it when i'm trying to rant about it to someone else and i have zero idea how to say it 😂😂
bff do more of these!!! i love knowing people's unpopular opinions hehe
💗💗💗💗
about the rating system, i completely agree:) like if you like it, you like it and that doesn't mean you have to have like an organized system!
YESSS
Also, I agree! There are many books that have mediocre vibes and they will just have good punctuation use, and I will love them!
Ps: “Minor detail is a book I still haven’t finished reading 😩

just cus a book doesn't have poc doesn't mean its not good ( speaking as a poc )
@@NY-or5hh when did I say that the book itself is bad?
you’re so right but I feel like white authors don’t write poc mc’s because they don’t know the experience or how to write a character from that background.
Oh I just read ur other comment, they definitely could make more poc supporting characters😭
