[DISC] What makes RI "good writing"?
I'm rereading it a second time and I genuinely cannot fathom why I'm enjoying it.
In terms of actual writing, the prose is clunky and unconnected(possibly due to the translation?). The twists are certainly there but are in effect the same things over and over or a deus ex machina from a hidden interaction or external circumstance.
The dialogue reads as unnatural and unnecessarily edgy, while beating you over the head with the same point repeatedly. Narration is composed of the same four recycled ideas but presented like a twist every time.
Despite all that, I read all of it in ~4 weeks and just finished book 1 a second time.
What actually makes this good?
(sorry if wrong flair)
