[Surprisingly quickly after the arrival of the recommended reading, a typed rant appears on the bulletin board. It is not signed.]

This Twilight book is fucking terrible and here is why:

• It's boring
  
• It's a stupid romance
  
• Uses way to much of that thing where like, things are emphasised a lot. Hyperbolic, or whatever
  
• Story structure is shit, most of it is about the stupid boring romance with the stupid boring characters, and then hostiles appear out of nowhere without even one scene ominously hinting about their existence
  
• Planetary Security in this place sucks
  
• The stupid fucking love interest Edward also sucks and is clearly hostile
  
• If Bella has to have a stupid love interested she should pick someone less likely to murder her
  
• He admits to wanting to eat her
  
• He breaks and enters into her sleeping quarters, as well as other clear stalking behaviours
  
• Seriously he keeps going on about how much he wants to eat Bella, what the fuck
  
• Why is she not concerned about this, does she want to fucking die
  
• Bella is also terrible. And boring.
  
• (Also Edward liking her smell is disgusting, that's just gross)
  
• The hostiles that arrived at the end distracted from the stupid romance plot, so I guess that sucked slightly less than the rest of the book, but it was still badly written and fucking stupid

In conclusion: it sucks.

I think it was meant to be a teen romance story? Teens are stupid and like the idea of a love interest being a possessive stalker who's rich and

cultured?

[ He's not sure "cultured" is the right word for it, but Wreck feels like that's what the author was going for. ]

At least Edward's doing his job correctly by sucking. How else is he going to get the blood out? No, seriously, maybe that was the intention of the author. Making him suck all around so the reader would know he was a fantastic vampire.

[ugh_emotions]

The stupidity of adolescent humans isn't an excuse to give them stupid books to read. Maybe if they had better books, they'd be less stupid.

That doesn't make any sense.

Using teeth to extract blood is dangerous. And disgusting.

[awreck]

You're probably right, but good luck getting most teenagers to pick up a book with a little more depth to it.

And, to be fair, I didn't say it wasn't dangerous. Actually, I think the fact it's dangerous is supposed to be part of the allure? Authors write their vampires in all different kinds of ways. A lot of times they get treated like they have tiny holes in their fangs that suck up the blood like a syringe. Most of the time, I think they just do whatever with a miniscule amount of blood so they can look "pretty."

I take it you didn't read young adult fiction as a teenager? Did you read finance books instead?

[ugh_emotions]

[Being dangerous was part of the 'allure'? What the fuck? And here SecUnit had thought humans couldn't get any more stupid about their own self-preservation.]

Um, no. I didn't.

[Mainly because it was never a teenager.]

I like serials.

[awreck]

I think that might be a bit broad. Do you mean serials like

I don't know

Catalogues? Reports?

[ugh_emotions]

No. Why would I want to read those?

Serials are entertainment. Visual media.

[awreck]

Some people would find them entertaining, or at least interesting.

But that's why I said it was too broad, because at least where I'm from, a serial release usually means dry reading material.

That being said, maybe you'd like the movie version better? Story beats tend to be changed, although not always for the better, when they do a movie adaptation. But I get the feeling you might not want to sit through it if you already hate the book.

Honestly, I think most of here just weren't the target demographic.

[ugh_emotions]

Like hell am I watching the movie version.

[Yeah, no. Changing the format to something visual wasn't going to stop the story being complete and utter crap. Also, then it would have to see humans being stupidly romantic at each other. Ugh.]

[awreck]

Fair. Really, I can't blame you for that.

I'd suggest trying to find another book that has a romance between a vampire, werewolf and human to "wash out the bad taste," but I don't think any of them are going to be very good.

[ugh_emotions]

No.

I hate romance.

[awreck]

Well you should do something to get the bad taste of a poorly romance out of your mouth. Have you had any luck finding media you do like here? Or is it all trash?

[ugh_emotions]

Everything here, except the recommended readings, is unfinished.

It's annoying.

[awreck]

It's annoying, yeah, but it's not like it's usually missing hundreds of pages. A missing page or two, or a few absence sentences, doesn't detract from the experience that much, does it?

[ugh_emotions]

Some of them are missing hundreds of pages. They're not all the same amount of unfinished.

You don't know until you open it how much is missing.

[awreck]

How many books have you read here? I've skimmed a handful, but I've never really noticed that many pages missing. At that point, wouldn't the books just be really thin with hardly any material to begin with? I guess fantasy books would lean toward the heftier side, so it'd be more common with those...?

[ugh_emotions]

Lots.

[The actual answer was, in fact, 362. But that was way more books than a human would be able to read in the time period that they've been here, so it doesn't say that.]

[awreck]

Oh.

[ He considers that answer for a moment before he adds: ]

This is the person with the drones, right?

[ugh_emotions]

...Yes.

[awreck]

[ He's surprised that he got an admission. Wreck hadn't known for sure, but it could have been a few others who are especially tight-lipped. Tight-handed?? ]

I don't think I got a chance to learn your name, and right now all I can think of is "Twilight-hater."

You can call me Wreck.

[ Since that's not his actual name, despite what the library insisted upon his arrival. ]

[ugh_emotions]

[It's not hiding. Mostly. Or at least, in the long term, it doesn't see the point in lying about that sort of thing. Not when it's lying about much bigger, more important things.]

I'm Rin.
