Midweek discussions - Hate reads

It’s that time of the week again. This time it’s about books you hate to read but still keep reading. Usually I drop a book when I don’t enjoy it but currently, I’m reading a series (Mythical Hero's Otherworld Chronicles) that I absolutely despise with a passion but I still keep grabbing new volumes for some reason that I might need to get checked out.

Does anyone of you have something like that or am I the only masochistic weirdo out here?

  • I've definitely hate-finished books so that I can justify trashing them, but normally I drop the series afterwards.

    Dungeon Busters is probably the best example; it so quickly went from mildly interesting concept to grossly misogynistic that I had to keep reading to make sure there wasn't some twist or development to redeem it.

    There wasn't. It actually got worse. And confirmed by other female characters to boot. Garbage book.

    • The one with the cards? I always get it mixed up with the one where they are building a company around level grinding.

  • I saw this and was thinking, that's crazy, why would someone do that.

    Then I remembered I'm in like the 8th arc or something of Arifureta. I read a few pages a year. It's the only book I have on my phone so whenever I'm at the mechanic or waiting at the dentist or something I get a few more pages down. Everything after volume 1 has just been "just gotta get to the end. just gotta get to the end." Been that way for at least like five years or more (on this one volume, I mean).

  • I think for me it was tearmoon empire. I hated Mia's luck and how everything she has done went to her benefit.

    When I have heard that translator was changed I lost a reason to pick the series back up again.
