>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 26 00:08:21 2023 No.21956413 >>21956388 Not in literary criticism. It's a social media term. "OMG this content generated so much engagement!" It essentially means people find it entertaining.

I've never seen it used like that. It's always "the story is engaging" or "the writing is so engaging." It basically means "it catches my attention and is entertaining, it makes me engage with the content." When people want to say what you mean they usually say "thought-provoking."
