Is reading on-going/unfinished works the most cucked shit people do? Just wait until it's done instead of falling completely to the hands of the modern entertainment industry.

It depends. If you think you're enjoying "art" while it's unfinished, then yeah, you're probably getting cucked into reading a story that will jerk you around and change on a dime until its trash (Breaking Bad fags, Wheel of Time fags). Unfinished is different though. I have to say it feels discouraging to me because it seems like your feelings will never be resolved, but there's merit to reading things like Edwin Drood and the Pale King.

Yeah, it's cucked. Look at Mr. Robot, for example. It had so much potential and the writers wasted it all because it suited the best for most viewers.

>Unfinished
I'll have to disagree in this one. The Pale King and The Trial are good books regardless of being unfinished. They would probably be even better if finished, but the core message of them both is still there to be appreciated.
