Pfft. Thus you arbitrarily eliminate large swaths of excellent literature written lo these past several hundred years.

Thus you constrain and castrate the passion and power of literature and change it into your own personal hug box.

Sad.

These stories lack merit and are barely applicable for our world sans the technical aspects.

No idea how OP feels about it, and it's probably bait either way but for me it's not the hug box aspect, neither thing ever affected me, it's just like reading a story from a child who thinks thunder is caused by angry clouds and babies are brought by birds. If it's written very well, it can be still entertaining but there isn't much else to gain.

a mind I don't respect or care to explore, that's the only reason I'd ever put down a book once I begin. I imagine it as being similar to someone you'd find repulsive to be around, for me Gabriel Garcia Marquez comes to mind: a perverted hack who has absolutely nothing of interest worth noting.
