am I the only one who couldn't read this because of how stupid the bottom was like? What are you in college? And you don't know basic biology..?
I’m confused what point y’all are arguing against I never said people in real life can’t be uninformed or sheltered. I know those people exist. But first, I was talking about FICTION and why I personally found the character frustrating to read. Second, even bringing up real people doesn’t really change my point? If someone genuinely reaches adulthood not knowing basic anatomy, I’d still think that’s concerning, not proof that the writing suddenly works. Existing in real life ≠ automatically making it believable or enjoyable to read.
Saying “it’s fiction” doesn’t really address what I said. I’m not saying that the author can’t write it or that it can’t happen because it’s fictional. I’m criticizing the writing. The character lives in that universe, so if reproduction works a certain way in their world, a grown adult not knowing basic reproductive knowledge in their own society feels unbelievable to me. Internal logic still matters, even in fiction. Saying “it works because it’s fiction” is defending the fact that it exists, not responding to my criticism of it. Those are two different things. The author can write whatever they want, and I can still think it doesn’t make sense, isn’t coherent within its own world, and made the story less enjoyable for me.
I have never in my life ever had my heart drop that much when reading something like I am so invested & rooting for these two.. I swear, if something happens
