This is Gabrielle Zevin. She is a Korean-Jewish writer of Goodread’s “Best book of 2022”, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow (T3), a New York Times bestseller ostensibly about two best friends in video game development. She is also a fat, ugly, untalented Zionist who got into Harvard with grades probably worse than yours were because her Daddy is a rich tech industry Jew.

Let me give you a summary of T3, which has a 4.4 rating on Goodreads from hundreds of thousands of rave reviews.

Self Insert Simp (Sam) is a Korean-Jewish boy who is useless and retarded and wants to fuck his best friend but is severely autistic and a pathetic loser so he makes video games with her about gay pride and how the Nazis are bad with her instead (these are real plot points)

Self insert Sue (Sadie) is a beautiful genius brilliant girl who is a toxic disgusting Jew bitch that uses Sam to make stuff for her while constantly berating him and then fucks her college professor who coerces her into a hot steamy illegal BDSM abusive relationship while Sam gets cucked again as he plays with his gameboy. Her game company has instant success making pretentious high concept ultra liberal “games” and she becomes rich and famous and everyone loves her. But she still yells at Sam for “stealing her credit” because he is, le man, and not le sexy man like her professor or Marx (see below)

A key plot point is that they produce a MMORPG which allows gay marriage in the 90s and marrying a girl in harvest moon makes someone’s wife realize they’re gay so they leave and then two angry conservative fascists storm the video game office and shoot Sadie’s new husband, Marx, a flawless 10/10 vaguely brown rich gigachad (an insert of Gabrielle’s real life husband, as she much like Sadie has never had to work for anything in her life) of and he dies. These shooters are described as, and I quote, “a white boy dressed in black with a red bandana and a black gun” and “another white boy also in black, this one with a black bandana and a bigger gun”. Full stop.

I will now read a selected quote from the gratuitous BDSM sex scene between Self Insert Sue and Walmart Dorian Gray (his name is lirerally Dov). Please remember that this is the best book of 2022 according to Goodreads, Barnes and Noble, and hundreds of thousands of young women.

“…and then she put her hand between his legs, wrapping her fingers around the cylindrical chamber of blood sponges that was his (and every) penis. He felt the corpora cavernosa, commanded by nerve messages from his subconscious brain, fill up with blood, and the tunica albuginea membrane, the penis’s straitjacket, trap the blood inside.”

This is the absolute fucking state of modern literature. If you aren’t a fat ugly jew nepotism baby writing about toxic princess self insert whores who get everything and never have to critically examine anything - while squealing at white conservative strawmen - you never had a chance

Yup. The guy is supposedly full Korean by the way. He's just got a German Jewish name, because... uh... He just does, okay.

Nobody who reads this dogshit actually cares if any of it makes sense as long as it confirms their biases and power fantasy (woman edition, aka "princess fantasies").

The book is chock full of these. The two characters talk like AI chatbots trained on a selection of recognized 'classic' literature like Shakespeare and a thesarus and just spew out random bullshit quotes from alternatively old video games like Super Mario or Macbeth nonstop. That and contrived sentences so Zevin can shove in a dictionary.com word of the day she clearly barely understands like 'jejune' or a'nfractuous' or 'Susurrus'. Those wishy washy meaningless bullshit sentences that sound kinda deep cuz they're stuffed full of retardedly overcomplicated words is every single line of dialogue every character ever says.

Likely that she is a Bourgeoisie imperialist co-opting the absolute most superficial themes of his ideology (literally the name 'Marx' - LITERALLY in name only) while focusing exclusively on social feel-good bullshit like gay marriage and feminism and benefiting from an exploitative capitalist world order, herself being a member of the Old Aristocracy.

She's basically a wealthy capitalist who has skinned Marx's face and put it on an anti-racist caricature. Marx himself was an avowed racist.

And i came upon an article on a letter sent to Stalin about it.
Harry Whyte sent it to Stalin questioning the progress made in the October Revolution being reverted, and he simply made a little note in it:

>>22149551

Yep. It is kind of mind boggling to me that she would use Marx's name and indicates that she probably has never actually read anything from Marx except at an extremely superficial level.

>>22149539
To expand on this a little:

Sadie is an avowed 'capitalist hero' who bears more resemblance to a Randian self-insert than anything else, achieving instant meteoric success in the fair and just capitalist world order because she is talented and smart and everyone recognizes her talent and rewards her work with lots of money. This is heavily due to the fact she was born wealthy and afforded an elite education, a fact which is never critically examined or even fucking mentioned in the book. The book absolutely does not care about economics or the injustice of capitalism at all, spending almost its entire runtime whining about stuff like 'bro culture' in the video game industry and the fact that people give Sam more credit than Sadie (The horror! Nevermind the fact they're both ludicrously wealthy.)

Moreover, they are both avowed imperialists, supporting the state of Israel (they talk about this multiple times) and actually support its racist policies - they only oppose racism against *themselves*, because Sam and Sadie are, although Gabrielle seems incapable of recognizing this, self-interested parasites who do not care at all about the people they trample over, but only about acquiring more benefits, fame, and power for themselves. In a weird way her two neurotic self-inserts present a kind of scathing critique of capitalism, whining about the dire unfairness of cultural appropriation from their ivory tower built with the backbreaking labor of their heavily exploited programmers.

Zevin would probably argue that these two hyper toxic CEOs actually deserve their wealth because they came up with the shitty ideas for their shitty games or something. She is ultimately extremely pro-capitalist, just a modern rainbow capitalist.

It's a shitty quote from Marx with absolutely no relation to Macbeth except for the fact he made the heckin' reference

"What is a game?" Marx said. "It's tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It's the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever."

Just another slop quote that means absolutely fucking nothing and stuffs in as many pop culture/pop lit references as possible

If this entire civilization collapsed and Holodomor-tier starvation descended upon the West, and people ate their children and sucked dirt and tree bark to survive, and every noble leader of men was imprisoned under torture so animalistic that the Bolsheviks and Mongols seemed civilized by comparison, and the night sky was thick with flames and the screams of the dying, it would still be an improvement to this bleak mediocre confederacy of morons we're forced to inhabit today.

You remind me of the anon in /wg/ that relentlessly uses the term slop or schlock, is that you?
I have zero interest in this book or thread, I only came in here because I recognized the buildings in the photo and was curious to see what was up. I'm already convinced I'll never read this book. And I'll never read your litRPG either.

But the more I think about it, I wonder if your overreacting is based upon a grudge stemming from the RPG/gamer elements in this book and I assume that you think she is messing with the genre. But tell me if I'm wrong.

I enjoy these /lit/-anon summaries of modern lib literature (basically anything that tops best selling lists and is trendy), it really gets to the root of what these books are about and tells you a lot about the modern femoid and how they work, what they believe. Their views of reality as so outrageously out of touch with reality and anti-intellectual. And when they try to be intellectual they appear as jokes, almost always calling on Marx but doing so to further the interests of global capitalists, as is apparent in the book in OP's post.

A good reminder not to waste your time with modern women authors. OP said he just doesn't like Koreans or Jews but it's ignorant to leave out the white libs who splurge out white guilt about colonialism and micro-aggression from men against women that create trauma etc.
