Someone forgot to have fun.

Yeah, it's trash, but trash can be fun! I think getting out of your head and just enjoying something is important without needing to critically analyze it. It seems this book was pretty polarizing, like The Last Jedi.



There's plenty of competently-written trash to choose from, though. Most of the better genre fic falls in that category, and there's no shortage of it.

Incidentally, I think it's fair to describe The Last Jedi's polarizing effect as having very different causes from something like RP1.


Diametrically opposite causes, even. TLJ is a story about moving on from and getting over the past. RP1 is about obsessing over it and clinging to it.
