top things I hate about modernity
1: nobody reads anything and is retarded
2: saying something remotely intelligent gets you looked at as a retard
It's so tiresome bro

I feel you.
The book(s -- the appendix is almost long enough for a full release of its own at this point) I'm hoping to have released in 15-30 weeks depending on my pace (planned pace vs. actual pace, I'm getting way more done than I planned) are so far turning out to be way more than genre fiction. It'll be entertaining and interesting, but I think it'll also change the way the reader sees the world if the fact that writing it has changed me.
But let's be real, without institutional backing, what are the odds anyone even reads it?
It won't stop me because something deeper than that keeps me going forward, but we're in an age of slop, and the building is made of slop, and what happens if you throw a diamond at a house made of slop? It's lost in the slop.
Fwiw when I wasn't writing so much I'm a voracious reader, but I'll admit some of my reading is slop (lots of Japanese isekai and fantasy) because I'm not stuck in traffic, I am traffic. That being said, Japan's content pipeline is incredible and the fact that the West lacks anything similar is really to our detriment.
