Re: Things in fiction that make you uncomfortable.

poorly written sex is like every other fic, I just backbutton away and forget.

but in published fiction? attempts at writing another culture, be it with fantasy trappings or closer to historical accuracy either way, that full on misses every mark, is wrong wrong wrong did you even research your background culture wrong. it makes me mad that someone jumped through all the hoops to get the book published on paper and into a store/library and yet the story is so bad as to be uncommfortable.

biggest offender to me so far: Guy Gavriel Kay. His Asian-inspired fantasy is so uncomfortably awkward, like he's screaming with every noun and adjective "look how Chinese we are!! Do you get that this is China yet?? HOW ABOUT NOW? CHINA!" It's the very definition of uncomfortable. I couldn't get past chapter 5, I sent it back to the library I was so uncomfortable with his whole mien and presentation. I'll never read another book with his name on it.
