I just give up and scroll through good shit to reread
The other option is scrolling to infinity, finding a good one only to get lambasted blue-balled and your nipples twisted because it only has a fingernail's worth of chapters
Or finding one with such good world building and characters and shit only for it to be downgraded by poor writing or it being cancelled which then would lead you to wallow in sorrow and questions of why such a piece of art was succumbed to such an end
When that happens I do as you say, wallowing in a sorrowful puddle of my own tears and if I find out it's a publisher issue I curse their entire family line to drown in debt proportional to their bottomless greed for coins
If it's an author issue I curse them to have a keen liking only for works that are eventually suspended or on hiatus, or collapse through the height of story like a flimsy stack of cards much like their poor planning and writing or greed in adding things without fleshing anything out, relying on deus ex machina daddy
ya'll this is peak fiction. please someone tell me similar recs. i'm running out of decent shit to read.
