Kind of a fun rip on the series! I have read the six volumes so far and indeed it’s a very fun escape. Good literature it’s not, but hey… most movies I watch are pure crap.
As someone producing for a niche market I definitely feel sympathetic to my literary brethren. They kinda got hit the hardest by the “digital age” and cinema before that. Mass market success does not equal quality but its a damn hard thing to talk about without feelings of regret…
