Here's a riddle, what does OP and raw sewage have in common?

The smell and propensity towards being filtered.

The third hitchhiker guide to the galaxy book. The only book i gave 1 star on goodreads to. People shit on the whole series here but first two books were fun. The third one is so obviously out of place and done for greed, the characters change personality and are all interchangeable, the story becomes a parody of itself.

If we're talking about "serious" books, people are gonna shut on me but I didn't enjoy the red and the black at all.

They're novel adaptions of radio plays, there's a reason they're not as coherently tied together as people expect.

The Red and the Black
horrible terrible mockery of psychological fiction, sterile prose, ridiculously sentimentalist characters despite claiming to be a "realist"
Really most of these criticisms apply to Balzac too except I enjoy reading his stuff at least a litte, I fucking had to drag myself through Red and the Black, both in highschool and when I re-read it. Flaubert was truly the greatest thing to happen to novels because without him i'm not sure what the fuck novels would look like(well actually I'd do, they'd look like Dosto's stuff, lol.)

First two books are perfectly tied together and make sense. The story is full of random things but somehow they all connect. It's random but it makes sense in its randomness. Third book is completely disconnected, the characters personalities are lost and every character acts the same exact way and the story is completely lolsorandumb. How it was born has little relevance to the final result.

You definitely grew up with lead paint on the walls.

>haha you got filtered
Apparently so. I was looking for some horror involving sentient oil and the USA's involvement in the Middle East. Instead I got /x/-tier schizo ramblings.

The Soft Machine. I'll admit, maybe I'm just missing something with Burroughs, but man I fucking hated that book by the end. So fucking pointless.

Hurr durr

Let me explain it to you in terms that even you can understand. First of all, that doesn't excuse the low quality of the book. Characters losing any personality is not something that's an inevitable consequence of what you say. The story being terrible isn't either.
That said, even if those things were inevitable due to how the book was born (which they aren't), the backstory of why the book is shit doesn't matter, the book is still shit.
