For a TikTok book, this was a lot better than I expected
>>25355784It's not a "TikTok book."
Stop reading womanchild slop
>>25356185Correct. It's a Instagram book
>>25356210Many of these are good books though. Womanchild core would be romantasy, YA and goonerslop.
>>25356210This should be called litgirlcore or something like that
>>25356210I just finished Hill House and thought it was pretty fun, Maybe I'm just dumb.
>>25357162It's also not an Instagram book.

>>25355784Someone want to explain what they liked about it? I read it and it came across as very average in every possible way. Normal boring prose, nothing interesting really conveyed, imo forgettable characters (but I know people say they liked them a lot), and just surface level plot.Also, if anyone can tell me what they liked about Remains of the Day, I'd also be interested. I'm being genuine, I'm just curious because for both of these books they were just absolutely standard/average. Nothing impressive and pretty boring imo.
>>25356210i appreciate the intent of this image but someone like virginia woolf is far too kino for female manchildren in my experience
>>25357162beat me to it, i thought it was an insta book too. whatever, they all get flushed down the same pipes like piss and shit so in the end what difference is there
>>25358804>To The Lighthouse>The Common Reader>The Waves>Mrs DallowayNo self-respecting /lit/tard should be able to look themselves in the mirror without having read these four
>>25357697Thanks for this list, anon. I've read some of these and they're in line with my assessment so I'll check out the others.
>>25357697Sexual Personae is right, actually
>>25357705this is the book which launched the dark academia aesthetic. I've never read it but I think a big part of the reason this book is popular is the fashion and style which people have built around it.
>>25357705The content.I dunno if it's a contemporary thing, but most of the slop that gets popular is due to what in happens in it without any care for the style. People react and get attached to what happens in the story but not how it's told.The interesting part is that the author spent one decade between each of her following books and somehow they received lukewarm reception at best.
>>25355784It's not slop at all it's a great book. Retards think that anything they see normies reading is automatically le bad.
>>25356210Leave Shirley alone.

>>25360762>women consider her some kind of feminist icon>she married some guy who treated her like shit, cheated on her, kept cheating on her and told her "we have an open marriage now lol", and gave her an allowance even though she made way more money than him
