(Anonymous) 2020-10-01 12:31 am (UTC)(link)I'm not sure what is worse, reading books that are clearly filed off fanfic, things that have been written far too fast and lack structure/development but have decent writing technique, or the "this is my first book and I published it far too early." The last often lacks any technique at all.
whenever I find something good that is indie, I cry happy tears. I have given up on 'to market' writers entirely. (If they publish every month or so it's a red flag.) And I'm very wary about reading books by people "I know." Mostly b/c they then want to know what I think and I think "you needed a dev editor, badly." I mostly get off freebie sales (make a wishlist, wait) from books I find on twitter. I honestly thought I'd have to get KU by now, but nooo.
It's gotten to the point where if I want something FUN, I know I'll like, I will still stick with fanfic. Even if the concept/cover art/blurb of a book is REALLY good. It means NOTHING about the inside. Nothing.
Oh, biggest red flag of a book that's most likely published too early... a PROLOGUE.
