plot is completely asinine, and the style is nothing remarkable. If you read it, do so for thematic mood, and perhaps commentary on a certain type of lifestyle and identity.

Is your post distinct from that genre? It's a bit tricky to tell.

My post is not a book and I’m not trying to sell it to you
I imagine if you bought a book and it was composed entirely of shitposts you’d be upset no?
What is your point?

You do not know Liveblog, having not read it. Speaking on it as if you know anything begs the question, what can explain this Anon's behavior? It's not a reasonable thing to opine in recoiled extremity on a text unscanned by your eyes beyond but the title and jacket blurb. Or the Amazon or Goodreads page. Whatever. See if you can input into Grammarly the rhetorical question of "Why am I (You), a swollen bladder of mustache glazing poz when I was at once an angel with unlimited potential?" I think it opens you up to a psychological examination.

This will be essential reading before Leave Society. You need to understand his journey from autist to chad conspiracy philosopher.

Tai Pei is a lame book on its own, but is wholy justified if you read Trip after. You really get a sense of the arc Tao has lived with them together, and it makes the concluding chapter of Trip really positive because the author of Tai Pei would NEVER have written something like that without the journey that Trip details.

It reads like an ESL person wrote it, and an ESL person did. There's no imagination or even astute observation. It's like an imitation of something that doesn't quite approach profound. Like one of those bollywood knock offs of not-so-important hollywood movies.

It's good, but is a mood piece. I don't read a lot of fiction but this was good enough to make me want to read trip (which was disappointing except for two chapters). I'm sure the author enjoyed writing trip more though
