Can YA fiction be saved?

I'm honestly confused by YA. Like, why would you still read that shit in your late teens/twenties? I really just don't understand. Why don't they try out something that is known to have literary merit? This is why I never watch booktube, because 96% of it is just females with shelves upon shelves of YA behind them, giving their shitty takes.

If I had to guess, it would be because books like Harry Potter showed that there was a lot of money in it. You could write a relatively low effort book and cash out big time. Just look at Eragon. It's A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back in a LOTR inspired world. The kid had a leg up since his parents were in publishing, but he made a ton of money for what was essentially fan-fiction

I wish YA novels would take more inspiration from LNs. Not Isekai garbage, but the weird shit like boogiepop or baccano. I think part of the problem is that YA novels are so afraid to try something new for fear of alienating the core audience of mid 20 somethings who still act like children that they just stick to the same formulas that sold well in the past: "dystopia", closeted gay teen romance, chosen one must save the world, ect. The other part of the problem is that they greatly underestimate how smart kids and teens actually can be. Most YA novels are infantile to the point where someone with a room temp IQ could enjoy them, and when you write like that, you end up just making your material accessible for anyone, but enjoyable for almost none except the lowest common denominator. As for that can YA fiction be saved question it probably can't but I'm gonna try

sometimes ill watch kat's videos muted. she's cute, but her videos are pretty garbage.
lets put aside the
>"she only reads YA what a PLEB"
even her videos diving into a YA work are almost incoherent ramblings. at best, they're quick summaries of the plot, some rating/recommendation, and nothing deeper.
she's really more of a vloger, who happens to read as a hobby.
>imagine if she was holding a positive pregnancy test and not a smartphone

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 18 07:14:25 2020 No.15893882 Isn't YA just the genre that failed literature goes to?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 18 07:16:49 2020 No.15893888 >>15892035 Even more cringe than YA booktubers are the white knights that defend YA booktubers. And the only thing more cringe than the white knights that defend YA booktubers are the incels who shitpost on YA booktuber's videos.
