>The first thing i noticed is that the first book is just a wanking power trip fantasy were everything is handed to the protagonist in a blatant deuxmachina. How do i write a compelling character with out making him/her a martyr or a self insert Mary sue vessel for the reader?
But that's all of the books. The fundamental reason for HP's success is that is is an extremely distillated narcissistic fantasy, Harry isn't just rich, tall, handsome, and famous, but he's also oppressed and morally superior, not just in heroic situations mind you, but for example even his home life is an exaggerated victimization that is ridiculous in the extreme for the greater payoff of being magical and superior to the mean muggles who fostered him, who in turn desperately secretly wish they could be magic too but never can be. In effect, Harry Potter is narcissistic porn.

end of world is end of technological progress, end of innovation, discoveries, end of plots, musical styles. I am so excited to witness how stupid humanity hits the wall, how stupid natalists produce new purposeless in economy people, how opium for the masses, religion and TV and Hollywood, doesn't help anymore to flee from reality. amazing times!

society is degenerating because life becomes purposeless, because economy becomes purposeless, and those who are further from job market seethe first and more. purposeless life inflicts self hate which results in drug use and self harm. sex "change" is also self harm.

Books to stop being tormented by sexual thoughts whenever I set sight upon a pretty girl in real life.

I went to a book club and I am tormented by pretty girls.
