Have you read Babel by R.F. Kuang? Did you like it? (lemmy.zip)

I'm trying to find any redeemable qualities that make me feel better for the time I spent reading it. I could have put it down, but the raving reviews made me think that it would get better.

It didn't.

I loathed it. With passion.

So many people ranted and raved about it.

I finished it, but I hate read it from about the ⅓ point until the end.

I don't understand why anyone would like ita and I too loath it, with a passion.

There are no redeeming qualities, it was time I'll never get back. The only positive thing is, combined with hate reading the 3 Body Problem trilogy around the same time, I came to the conclusion that just because I bought/was gifted a book, doesn't mean it can't be a DNF.
