If you unironically enjoy this literary period shart, you need to raise your testosterone by 50% minimum and gain 20 IQ points asap.

let me guess
the main character is a writer with mental issues and goes through many hardships like fucking her boss or having an abortion?

I read it because the best indicator of quality is the seething on /lit/. No one here reads or has any idea of what good literature is (they're insecure teenagers) therefore /lit/ recommendation can be taken, but only in reverse.

As long as they got something of value out of being a neet I suppose. I doubt most people feel as if they've been reborn after months/years of neet life.

I'm willing to give the author some benefit of the doubt and assume that the protagonist is intentionally repulsive and braindead, a critical depiction of sorts, but it doesn't really work when the protagonist is simultaneously utilized as a mouthpiece to vent author's own frustrations from college years - mostly about pseudointellectual and "artistic" trust fund hipsters dating hot women instead of her.
Knowing it's a woman book, I didn't expect anything but queefy PMS wallowing in the most superficial aspects of the most immediate social relations, namely sex and status. Her most recent book is some dark medieval fantasy and although that does sound far more interesting than Rest and Relaxation, the prosaic skill on display here didn't convince me to give her another chance at all.

i think u will, i think what people hate is that the main character is sad even though shes rich, what people dont get while reading is that the whole point is that u can be sad even when u have everything?? ㅠㅠ

the main character is a vapid trust fund arthoe with depression that goes through no hardships at all and likes getting high, getting facefucked for 3 days straight by chad and forcing her jewish friend to have a drug induced abortion in her bathroom and then watching her kill herself during 9/11 lol

If the protagonist is a mouthpiece then it's very clear she's one for the worst parts of the author. Even then her rant is spot on, liking Infinite Jest and having yellow fever is the biggest red flag anyone could put over their pathetic microdick and wavering masculinity.

[Anonymous No.22598569]

You guys just don’t get that we aren’t performing for female attention all the time. Liking infinite jest has literally nothing to do with sexuality outside of your own warped insanity world. Yellow fever is cringe ofc but the whole red flag paradigm speaks volumes about those who believe in it beyond the strict meaning of spotting abusive/childish behaviors. Specifically I’m speaking about when judgements are made on a person’s personality based off of the media they consume. It’s literal insanity: you are taking what was made as a JOKE seriously. You have fallen into the twitter-hole that so many other young kids have nowdays and you’ve consumed so many abrasive/provocative memes that you’ve started to believe in them as real. Go ask a 37 year old millennial what they would think if their husband watched Evangelion and liked it. Go ask a 43 year old Gen X if they get the ick when their husband puts on his seatbelt. You have lost your ability to discern irony by engulfing yourself in it for so long. You have outsourced your lens with which you view the world to twitter and forgotten that the vast majority of it is jokes. You are infected with a memetic virus

>Go ask a 37 year old millennial what they would think if their husband watched Evangelion and liked it.
I had a 37 year old millennial boyfriend once and he said the way it kept sexualizing minors was super icky. Anime fans are often seen as pedos for a reason.
But you're only pointing out the obvious. Only shitty and deeply unhappy people that hate to see others in their element make sweeping generalizations and try to categorize everyone else as flawed, broken, tiny, disgusting, unsavory, untalented, gross, or deeply compensating. I think it speaks volumes about our broader generation when what was a sign of depression has now become the internet's favorite sport.
Advocate for the courage to be cringe.
That said, she's still right tho.
