I just got sick of trying to decipher the cryptic metaplot stuff

[(Anonymous)]

What metaplot?

[(Anonymous)]

All the VFD stuff or whatever

I barely remember the details now but it was definitely a whole thing

[(Anonymous)]

I did, for the same reason. I was expecting, being ostensibly a series for kids, that it would all get better in the end, so the more depressing it got, the more I had to keep reading.

...

Fuck me, right?

[(Anonymous)]

That's fair, OP

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I couldn't get through it reading like a ditionary in places. I only got through a few chapters of book 1 before giving up. When every 3rd or 4th word is defined, I'm not gonna read it. I get that it was trying to build kids' vocabularies & that's a really good thing that I wholheartedly approve of. It's tedious to read though, when you know all of the words.

[(Anonymous)]

I get it if the joke didn't land, but it wasn't trying to teach kids new words. It was joking or using words in a manner that was unexpected.

It felt like it was going in circles. The orphans go somewhere, Count Olaf appears, the orphans have to leave, repeat over and over.

Same. I couldn't even finish the first book.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

The book said "if you want a book where anything happy happens ever, go read something else," so I did. Never regretted it.

[(Anonymous)]

Ditto. The humor isn't enough to mitigate the depressing parts for me. Same applies to the TV show.

[(Anonymous)]

The books are more funny than anything. Edward Gorey style humor but still funny.

[(Anonymous)]

I got halfway through the first book and gave up because it was so depressing. But then I thought, "It's all in the title, why was I expecting anything different?" and have never bothered to try again.
