book: (casual fantasy racism)

me: (shrieks)

#tütensuppe #already didnt like the protagonist but that was the final drop #how do you hit like 5 different shitty tropes in half a page? this guy managed it #protagonist is like OH my life is so boring i want ADVENTURE #proves to be an impulsive hothead (ok sure whatever) #and then his friend tells him hes leaving the village and asks him to come with and he says no????? #also im p sure that half page wasnt necessary at all its just there for ~exotic~ #ok im done #i just get upset easily bc i spot racist tropes like someone used highlihter on them (not necessarily a bad thing) #this other book i read a while ago had one of its fantasy nations be 3 antisemitic tropes in a trenchcoat #i could literally think of a super easy way to fix it without even major changes to the plot! #just edit one (1) scene and get rid of some side elements and its good
