The Straggler's Mask.

I tend to zoom straight into negative reviews or any work, be it literature or video games or whatever, as such reviews tend to be far more telling of what I'm in for than positive ones.

Usually, finding few to no negative reviews leads to me picking it up. Sometimes I find a well-written argument on the work's flaws that I nonetheless think won't bother me so much. And then sometimes, once in a blue moon, like with pic related, I do what this thread is about and pick something up specifically because of some negative review.
