How to revive your braincells post-enduring HORRIBLE wattpadish stuff (will not call them books)

In need of therapy after reading something sooo stupid,messed up,brought-me-to-tears-when-there-was-no-angst shit???? Do you spend your precious time sincerely wondering what's wrong with the people singing praises to a messed up piece of writing (which they call LITERATURE!!??)

You aren't alone btw!Never cared about goodreads or booktok (hate myself for reading their suggested stuff).So recently I realized that go to goodread reviews and select 1 star filter and BOOM!You'll find such hilarious reviews that you'll wish for them to start writing a book!😂😂😂😂(Currently laughing like a maniac in my room)Yesss to Relatabilitly!!!!😂😂

I guess almost everyone already knew that but it was actually therapeutic for me!!!😂

Defending a girl in the wrong does not make you a girl's girl.

So recently I was reading the goodread's reviews for 'God of Pain' by Rina Kent.(I have already read the series,was trying to find relatable reviews.Found them.Thank Tchaikovsky😂)Anyways,so there was a review post that said that none of Rina Kent girls are girl's girls(neither the parents nor their kids).I agree.I hated the part when Cecily lacks assertiveness against Jeremy when he hurts Ava who is her best friend (Ava may call all her friends besties but she and Cecily are BEST FRIENDS.Both of them have emphasized upon the fact in their books. So this hurts more especially knowing that Cecily is said to be the protective mother hen of the group).There and are several other examples but that's not the issue I wanna talk about here.

So the post stated that none of the girls are girl's girls based on the scene where Ava slaps Annika in gop for shooting Creighton.FYI I don't think Annika shooting Creighton was her fault because he gave her no other choice( found all the bad Soap Opera shit hilarious btw😂😂😂).It's hurts to suddenly go through so much and lose your friend group too but that's reality guys(there would be much worse than a slap in real life), it's totally right for Ava to be angry at Annika and for the group to cut her off because Creighton is their CHILDHOOD friend.They met Annika MONTHS ago.Btw another part that I hate is that Cecily lacks the assertiveness and spine to defend her views and friends as she just stood there while Ava strongly defended her friend. (Liked her in the last chapter of gow and her care for the group.Loved the crumbs of her caring nature too, especially when she gives instructions to glyn about taking care of drunk Ava in gowrath).Okayyyy now reaching the actual point of this rant:

Reading that post made me think about the title of this post.Ava being protective over HER FRIEND (Creighton) against Annika does not mean she is not a girl's girl. The phrasing of the post made me feel that if two of my friends (a male and a female) were in a conflict, and I end up siding with the guy then I won't be a girl's girl. This mindset is wrong.

Being a girl's girl is a positive attribute when you be one in the right situation.Women supporting women does not mean one has to neglect their own thoughts and blindly support the other simply because they are a woman.One's gender should not define the right and the wrong.The degree of wrong in a situation must not vary with gender.

Women supporting women is beautiful but I think human supporting another human while not disregarding their personal beliefs is the BEST✨

You can love a character and still admit when they’re wrong. I love Christian Allister, but I acknowledge his flaws (none he’s perfect) and can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) & call him out on his actions (which are always right).

hoping my soulmate is russian because i want to be called malyshka but also italian because i want to be called mia cara but also spanish because i want to be called mi alma but also desi because i want to be called meri jaan but also british because i want to be called love with a british accent but also—

Nico: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Christian: What doesn't kill me makes me really cocky about facing the next thing that tries.

Ronan: What didn't kill me gave me unhealthy coping mechanisms and a dark sense of humor.

Kat: Papa, promise you won't get mad.

Christian: Go on.

Kat: Papa, you didn't promise.

Christian: I know. Go on.

How I like my books....

I get so frustrated when I find people pointing natural flaws in characters simply to hate them.I love my fictional(or non fictional) books realistic in some aspects.I have never been attracted to God Perfect characters tbh.Characters should have depth and real emotions(which include messed up intrusive thoughts too u know) and fake faults and weaknesses.

I am a reader so I have countless scenarios to talk about but I'll just give a few examples.

•Harry Potter Series: People hate Hermione(Yes they do) saying she is bossy, know-it-all ,book-smart,infuriating.I don't really understand why book-smart is not considered as a positive attribute by many(Like being as book-smart as her is a great deal!)People dislike the fact that she is called as the brightest witch of her age like what???She is! She could perform spells that helped them during the third floor corridor! She made the polyjuice potion in 2nd year(Practical use),she actually SOLVED the mystery of the chamber of secrets.And there are many many instances where its proved to be true(Read HarryPotter again if u forgot). That being said, I am not blind to her faults.People hate her for the "abuse" when she set the canaries on Ron but they forget that such stuff is normal in the wizarding world(They change hair colours,jelly leg spell tarantallegra,explosions etc). Similarly, Ron is bashed for his insecurities and rudeness and leaving in the last book. Guys the best and the closest relationships have arguments,disagreements and sensitivity involved okay???I really don't like how these two and other characters too tbh are hated for these attributes. They are 17 years old people!!!

•Percy Jackson series:Finding faults in Gods is more than okay cause they are childish selfish useless assholes.Annabeth is hated for her jealousy(bitches please that's called being a teen) though Percy is not called out for his jealous moments.They are both teens and its okay.And listen people Annabeth does not "abuse" okay😂😂We throw light friendly punches while demigods blow up toilets,They literally practice sword fighting!?, judo flip etc.

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE PEOPLE!

HERMIONE IS BUZZFEED'S MOST HATED BOOK CHARACTER!!!????WTF!??

JASON TOO????LIKE DID WE READ THE SAME SERIES!?(Read several times)

Okay wait.I need a moment.No wait.My mind literally went blank rn.I had soooo many examples to give but-

Let's end this post here(temporarily) 😵😷

Literally people who hate characters for reasons worse than their very own existence,Please get a life, see a therapist and tell us HONEY WHO HURT YOU???

Oh wait.Like the title was popular book characters people despise.Aah.STILL NOT OKAY.I should probably calm down.

Started reading “Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love”.

when they match your sarcasm >>>

Cole: Aiden King, my old arch enemy.

Eli: I thought I was your arch enemy.

Cole: I have a life outside you.

Brandon: *coming out* I don't like women

Remi: *gasp* You're a misogynist?!?!

Trust me, Ava, I've been asking this question to myself since i started reading fiction

Reader's Rant

Okay so I had finished reading the Legacy of Gods Series few days ago so here are my thoughts(after lots of thinking,psychoanalysing and self arguing)

1)RINA PROMOTING MISOGYNISTIC VIEWS:

•The "virgin trope" is seriously not a trope at this point when each and every book has this.She makes it seem as if the fmc has commited blasphemy(What's her obsession with this word anyways.Its everywhere in her books.The blasphemy😯) if she has slept with someone before the mc.Wth!?And every male character is a casanova.Like we will find virgin Mcs hot too okay?? Especially in Ava's case like I thought okay finally we have a fmc who has had a life before mc but no?Like she makes it seem Ava have a grandiose sex life and later makes her a virgin too!?Like its okay to have experience and its totally okay to not marry the first guy you sleep with.

I also think that having literally ALL men experienced in EVERY SINGLE THING is also so frustrating.Like it would have been cool if Eli or Creighton were not u know??She makes it seem as a chore the men have to do the second they turn 18

•Another example of misogyny is the extreme sense of ownership they have for all the women in their life. Like the dad's are seriously crossing limits.Protectiveness is cute but the no-twat-is-good-enough-for-my-princess shit is exhausting.Jeremy and Landon are wayyy too controlling.Its literally offensive.You will HATE such a brother and dad for life and beyond.

•She made all women literal doormats.Enough said. (except Ava,Ari and Maya-who she turned into a villain because she has a life so she should not be the good sister)

•The fmcs had all sort of problems, worries,insecurities blah blah which could not be cured by besties, family, friends, therapists nope!They could only be cured within 2 chapters at most once the perfect mc decides to help!

•Over possessiveness.Hated it.Like listen I can still somehow get Killian's jealousy towards Remi(by dark romance standards ONLY) but Creighton has been close friends with Remi since birth and how he literally does not allow a single friendly touch!?And his insta posts each statng MINE MINE MINE repeatedly felt embarrassing and cringe rather than hot and when he tells her to stop following people like WHAT!?

2)UNFULFILLED TROPES AND PROMISES:

I am the kind of reader who gives great attention to the blurbs and tropes before reading a book.

•God of Pain is a grumpy x sunshine.Now I believe this was mentioned due to the appeal and popularity of the trope but Annika is not a sunshine at all.Sunshine character is not one which ACTS and pretends to be happy,outgoing and perfect while she has her insecurities,fears and troubles eat her up inside(her words)

•God of fury has been said to have the trope mafia prince x GOLDEN BOY which is not accurate.Anyone who has read the books should know this already ig.

•God of war which happens to be my fav from the series has false claimed tropes too.Like it was NOT a marriage of convenience.Eli forced the proximity upon Ava by forcing her to marry him(I believe forced proximity means both leads who hate each other are forced to be closer)and the sunshine point is similar as that of Annika.Imagine if someone is searching for a stand alone marriage of convenience and forced proximity....they'll be sad,angry and frustrated u know(Not me.I loved the book)

•Being an apathatic sociopath and selfish narcissist is different.Research your attributes Rina.

•Rina literally backtracks upon Eli's feelings in gow.Repeatedly mentions how Eli had no feelings for Ava before Uni.While she had stated in Royal Elite epilogue how Eli kisses new born Ava,calls her pretty,is asking Aiden for marriage pact,stares at her.Even in gow Ava mentions that he caused guys disappear even when she was in HIGH SCHOOL."Yeah he had no interest at all"😑(THE LAST LINE WAS SARCASM.YES SOME PEOPLE NEED IT TO BE SPELLED OUT.your welcome)

•Mia's selective mutism was played with totally wrong.AGAIN RESEARCH RINA!

3)PROBLEMS IN THE BOOKS

•The extremely perfect mcs who are geniuses(Einstein who?),strong,attractive all the positive attributes who can think of other than a heart ofc.Like is it wrong if at least one mc has worked hard for the way they are!?Nope these are born perfections who can cure world hunger but will not because the world does not deserve it. Fmcs have all sorts of issues(other than being spineless,submissive doormats.Not Ava,Ari,Maya) which will be cured by the MC!Yeah!(Though the way Eli helps Ava is actually book perfect,heart warming and realistic.Its quite real that her parents and Cecily babied her and could not handle hard decisions that could benefit her)

•BRATS PLAYING GODS!All the mcs are over privileged brats who have done nothing but be born to "earn" their "god" status.Like they are literal UNI kids.Like they were all spoiled brats basically criminals who were setting things(buildings) on fire and hurting and killing people like what!?

•THEIR AGES AND THEIR*ahem* ACTIONS!?Their ages in their respective books:

Killian(19)-Glyndon(19)😱😲😵😶 Creighton(20)-Annika(17-18) Jeremy(23-24)-Cecily(20) Landon(23)-Mia(18-19) Nikolai(19)-Brandon(23) Eli and Ava had time skip so it was okay(29 and 23)

Like their ages are seriously concerning.I especially wanna talk about Creighton and Annika.Annika is literally a child and her book basically had her having some sort of Stockholm Syndrome.

I ABSOLUTELY HATED how creighton won't let Annika speak or talk to him without him adding the numbers iykyk.LIKE I hate how I have read soo many posts yet none mentions it!!?And how Annika is shown to have been cleared of her problems after she has sex !?And Creigh acts like a divorced 38 year old guy with an adult kid while Annika is has 0 personality(Haters can go cry a river)I really wanted Annika to leave him u know?And what was that soap opera shit with the gun and crying and sobbing and kidnapping(Which is okay because she revealed to Ava,Glyn,Cecy that its her fantasy😑)and because we are going all in so lets add suicide shit too.And yeah she was ready to kill herself yesterday and is sunshine and rainbows today yeah!!

Killian has had loads of experience in every kind of sexual activity with both men and women and in clubs and whatnot at 19 and he is bored of all that now😂😑

Ohh I almost forgot!Its literally sooo stupid and meaningless that the girls experience whatever fantasy they shared during a drunk night with each other😂😂😂Like Rina basically wants to sorta convey that the girls "wished" for it😂(Think before you wish folks!)

Zero family dynamics other than the fathers making a one chapter visit talking about the Everlasting love for their wives,their doormat of a princess daughters and zero say in all the "emotional trauma" ALL of them have(they wish)

Landon favourism was not good.Especially in gof where it should have been Niko's moment.

Its enough for today I think.

I am not posting it as a hate post.It is RANT as stated,a critical analysis.(Being going through a book hangover from Gow....partially cured through the MADDEST OBSESSION OMG YES!!!)

One last thing!!!!I get that its the creator's wish and whatever but the fact that Rina isn't writing a Remi (An Mc with emotions!!!!)Ariella(Strong fmc!The blasphemy! )and Maya Ilya book sorta shows how she can't change her formula.
