Lol & to be fair this is the "paperback" record which started being recorded very recently and its only for the UK, so thats an awful lot of qualifiers tbh. Also lbr the paperbacks are popular bc no one wants to invest $$$ for a hardcover copy. <3

After seeing ladies buy 20 copies at a time, I really wouldn't doubt if it gets close to that.

The top one is Baekhyun, the lead vocalist of k-pop group Exo-K, and the bottom is Kris, leader of Exo-M. Both are under SM Entertainment, but Exo-K promotes in Korea, and Exo-M promotes in China.

I tried reading the original fanfiction. I got halfway through the first one and I couldn't take it anymore.



I like reading shitty pop culture phenoms like this so I can accurately revel in my hatred for them, but this was too much for me.

Same here. I only read it out of my need to stay on top of stupid trends like this. Between the "inner goddess" and "Oh my" used about 39482048203984 times I wanted to throw my ereader out the window. Awful.

I skimmed and jumped around several pages of the original fanfic trying to find the most horrific quotes to use when trolling Yahoo comments.



It's awful... She cannot complete full... Every paragraph is dotted with unfinished thoughts... And the character's inner thoughts are the most infantile dribble... It reads like what a 13 year old that has watched too much porn would believe is sexy...

Yep. First it was so ridiculous and badly written that I laughed out loud.



Then it just get so pathetic and sad, I couldn't even smile. Stopped it.

I've seen bits and pieces and they were more than enough.

It's really telling how awful a book is when you see an advert for baby oil on tv and immediately think of the terrible passage where the fucking character says "oh wow, baby oil is so useful as both a makeup remover AND sore ass soother!"



what the fuck

i read this crap. i wrote my entire masters thesis on fandom and well... felt it could be a good read to add to my future research projects. (also, everyone at my work was reading it, and well, i wanted to be part of conversations).





overall, this shit is so sexist, irrelevant and degrading. hated the entire thing and i hated how poorly it was written. i swear, it feels like someone who's 13 and has never had sex before wrote this book. all the damn thing is moaning, self pity and well stupidity.

IA. When people my age say Harry Potter is their favorite book, I just assume they haven't really read anything else.

It's worse when they HAVE read other books. I can get loving the characters, because we tend to put more into the characters than the author intended sometimes, but otherwise...I'm at a loss.

It's really fun how you equate "favourite book" with "good book" and then make assumptions about other people's intelligence. Let me put it like this for you, dear - you're in a glass house and you're throwing stones.
