>Story Genius: How to Use Brain Science to Go Beyond Outlining and Write a Riveting Novel (Before You Waste Three Years Writing 327 Pages That Go Nowhere)
>That's the real title
>Author has literally never written a book about anything but storywriting
>Basically no actual brain science used outside of vague assertions
>Shits on hero's journey for no reason
>In fact, deliberately strawmans pretty much everyone the author disagrees with
>example WIP novel used is shit
>Tone is condescending as fuck
>Book is literally anti-process
>Book itself has prose and grammar issues like massive run-on sentences and overdescription to the extreme
>Entire thing, when read aloud, sounds like a fucking MLM pitch
>All review sites MASSIVELY padded with bullshit 5 star ratings/reviews, probably paid
Why would you even bother with this shit?
