A friend warmly recommended a book series to me and I just started it, and It Is Fine! However!! The author is fond of peppering ominous "Little did I know this would be the last time I spoke to X" or "If only I had known what would happen next" or "Maybe if I'd done this instead of that, it wouldn't all have gone so wrong" and while I can enjoy one, maybe two well-placed ones per book, at this level I'm finding it massively irritating. I don't even like "vibes" spoilers in general! Nothing pisses me off more than comments like "oooh you guys are gonna suffer" from people who read leaks or advance previews of whatever's popular, especially when I usually make it clear I don't want to know a thing before I start!

Right now it feels like I'm reading next to someone who goes "ooooh I wouldn't get too attached!!" whenever I think "oh I like this character", or "it's not going to go the way you think!!" when I simply thought to myself "hm interesting." Leave me alone!! 😂

Just took a pause after hitting one of those around page 200, about midway in the book. I know these people's plans keep failing! Something always goes wrong!! People die!! I don't need the warnings anymore!!!!!!! XD
