I just don't understand how certain books end up getting published and become immensely popular when they are ridiculously and embarrassingly horrible, and deeply problematic, to begin with. Let alone having certain "authors" be considered legit writers (lol) when they have had little understanding of how to write a cohesive story, especially when everyone knows that their work is literally published (bad) fanfiction of something equally as terrible.

Badly written books are published all the time, but how many of them end up getting this kind of publicity?

We really need to get more well-written, actual quality books to get the spotlight for a change, ones that are worthy of the hype. There are plenty out there by authors who have actually worked hard to get their work published and deserve recognition.

This has been a rant on something that has been bothering me for a while. Carry on.

lol. I see this post and think, 'This is must be about that Twilight copypasta book' because there is no other book at the moment that's making waves. The book market is over saturated with badly written books aimed at girls/women. I think it's sad that books like Twilight and such are even considered as amazing and reach the best sellers list.

I'm just thinking of all these so-called authors (Cassandra Claire, Stephanie Meyer and now E.L. James) getting popular for just being pure bullshitters and horrible examples of the writing community.

I consider them the reality tv celebrities of the writing world, tbh.
