Why is it so bad..? I have to admit, it makes me think its been 'written' by some ghost writer for a major multi-national, given the cover, with $ on they're eyes.

>>131074
pretty much, this is meant to appeal to /v/irgin GAYMERS.

>>131093
hilariously enough, the /v/irgins hate it more than anything.

>>131093

I guess any publicity for women gamers is good, because they get a bad 'rap', but this book is perpetuating the stereotype that girls don't play games. Which is annoying.

My worst book is.. 'A Short History Of Asia by Colin Mason'. Its probably a good book if you're interested in the content matter, but I had to read it for a university course, so reading it was truly torturous. I think I rather have my teeth ripped out than read it again.

This book is racist against fat girls.

>get a bad rap

only from places like /v/, well, and in the "cool" parts society, but fuck those guys.

>>131134
Hey, I'm a fa/tg/uy and I want it to die in eternal fire.

>>131224

The majority of female gamers don't like to be labelled as gamers, so the stereotype gamer isn't a-sexual, its male (and usually in its teens)

>>131224
If you browsed /v/ you'd know there are two types of gamer gilrs. The ones that just play the damn game, and the ones that constantly spam "HEY GUYS I'M A GAYMER GIRL!". It's the latter that gives the others a bad rap.

>>131287
I bet you also believe #23s exist too, don't you? #10 is a trap for #9s.

>>131287
It just occured to me, guys, that I cannot wait to see the /lit/ version of this list.

>>131287

Have admit, you have a point.

So this book is about some girl playing video games?
How the hell is that entertaining I don't even.

Your eardrums will never forgive you for this.

>>131587
God I raged hard.

I've seen this thread a week ago on the first day of /lit/, but it wasn't that bad.

>>131615
>i'm sat here

>>131608
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnyPNdepDl8

Starts off with a guy reading every part, chapter four and on switches to a female narrator. This shit has been talked about fairly often in /v/ for the last two months, I'm surprised it hasn't been posted on /lit/ yet.

Few things can draw out my rage like Mari Mancusi can.

Rage fuel thread?

>Actually Bella and Edward love story is better than them. When I was in college I wrote a paper from a feminist perspective (it's an easy way to write) on the princess bride so I am little biased. The problem I have with Westley and Buttercup is Buttercup is an idiot and it doesn't bother anyone, all that matters is that she's beautiful, that is her only value. At the end she redeems herself a bit, but the female characters are very weak in that story. Westley is brave and smart and fights, Buttercup is just beautiful, it's her only thing: her brain means nothing, her personality means nothing to him, they have the kind of love where they can't leave without each other. It's not a great example to me. I couldn't find one who was a really good comparison to me, I mean, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr.Darcy's it's pretty good, except you should think that if either one of them dies the other one will carry on bravely, and Romeo and Juliet were kind of idiots, they didn't know each other very well.

>>131621
what a funny quip!

>>131619
I was there for the first wave of images. The rage in the thread was indescribable.

>>131173
Holy shit you read A Short History of Asia too?
I got it for a high school class I was taking my sophomore year and I fucking LOVED it. That book was amazing.

>>131618
>My Chemical Romance poster
Son of a bitch, this IS My Immortal.

Where did /v/ find this shit?

>>131655
this is worse than twilight as it actually has a cultural impact on something that matters

>>131656

I was studying Japanese. I didn't give a fuck about obscure Indian rulers from years ago. But I'm glad someone liked it.

>>131655
>with someone like Black Raven...

I hope she's not hanging out with an adult she met online. That's, like, the number one thing you're never supposed to do.

>>131687
>I was studying Japanese.

well, ya

this book can make the following boards rage:

/a/
/v/
/lit/
/r9k/
/adv/
/mu/

Jesus christ.

>>131673
probably the same way the movie "Boss Nigger" was found. Someone just typed "Girl Gamer" into amazon.com and found the book.

>>131690
I hang out with an adult I met online. But we live in the same town and hang out w/ the same scene, so it's all cool.

>>131678
Twilight's had an immense cultural impact on girls of many ages all over the place. It's setting a standard for their ideal romance.

>>131690
black raven is the fat goth girl at her school.

her second nickname is "blackie". seriously.

>>131702
>Too cool for school

>>131632

This sort of conversational prose hinges in the writer's ability to tell a joke. I'm not laughing.

>>131702
>"you are too cool for school"
>too cool for school

No one talks like that in real life. No one.

>>131702
Could make /co/ rage too.

>>131710

If this book was more popular instead of Twilight, the world would be a worse place. Girls everywhere would be trying to hook up with guys that they meet online.

Everyone on 4chan would be getting tons of pussy.

>>131702
/m/ especially would be pissed off by this. Retro anime is the only kind worth watching, also voltron is called golion in japan you fucking filthy gaijins.

What I hate the most is that the book implies that every gamer is also a weeaboo loving faggot. As if the gamer girl shit wasn't bad enough.

>>131702
This pissed me off.

>>131727
>Everyone on 4chan would be getting tons of pussy.

>implying this is bad thing

>>131727
>4chan
>getting tons of pussy
My god, that would be a horrible world. I really hope none of us ever breed.

>>131702
>a kind of anime Transformers.

As opposed to...?

>>131712
Oh, this is lulzy.
I'll look for this on torrents.

>>131733
>you're going to love Chibi Vampire

God, this girl has some shit taste.

>>131740
Yeah, there is some hope for natural selection still.

>>131712
She's probably nicknamed "Blackie" because "Darkie" and "Honky" weren't Goth enough.

>>131733

MAKE.. IT... STOP..!!!

>>131748
I have some bad news for you.

>>131733

>>131737
This is a bad thing.

>>131748
It's spreading. Like a virus.
And this thread is only one symptom of the disease.

>>131748

No, it's very well known.

>>131769

>>131737
Imagine a world filled with children of 4chan.
God, no.

Does this woman just have, like, an otaku neice that asked her to write a book about her or something like that?
'cuz this shit can't fucking be for real.

>>131788
>>131781
>>131765
Well, I never thought I'd see the day. I am quitting video gaming forever.

>>131723

I know people who do, but they do it sort of ironically. They also call each other nigga from time to time in the same tone.

why do people think that books and shows about women doing things can sail solely on the novelty of it being women? It's a concept that is in and of itself almost as sexist as the "GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN" mentality.

>>131852

thanks for spoiling the ending jerk

Do people see us as male versions of her?

Mari Mancusi used to wish she could become a vampire back in high school. But she ended up in another blood sucking profession --journalism -- instead. Today she works as a television producer for a women's lifestyle show in Manhattan and has won two Emmys. As if writing and TV producing weren't enough to keep her busy, Mari also enjoys snowboarding, clubbing, shopping, 80s music, and her favorite guilty pleasure--video games. She lives in New York City with her very sweet dog, Molly.

>>131865
>IRL (In Real Life)

>>131885
Video games are a guilty pleasure? What.

>>131885
>>131884
No. The difference?
She's hot, you're not.
I'd let her do wonderful things to me.

>>131873
Please tell me this is hell, and somebody fucked up the anesthesia yesterday.

>>131861
hahahahah
:')

>>131884
Not unless you use the fact you play games as your identity. e.g. vidya tattoos and badges and shit

>>131885
Oh god. She sounds like many of my middle-school teachers.

I think I found my dream girl.

>>131904
I might find it and read it for the lulz.

Considering she's 35 and only lives with her dog, I'd wager she isn't hot.

She might be one of those chicks who's really hot but who's still single because she's unlikeable batshit insane.

i'd do her

Maddy’s life: not so rockin’. Her parents split, she’s stuck in a new, small town at a school full of Aberzombies and Haters, she has a crush on someone she really shouldn’t like, and she’s stuck with the nickname Freak Girl.

Sometimes it’s enough to retreat into her drawing – her Manga is totally important to her – but when she gets Fields of Fantasy for her birthday, she knows she’s found the one place she can be herself. In the game world, Maddy can transform from regular outcast high school student to Allora, a beautiful Elvin Princess with magical powers to take down enemies with a snap of her fingers and wave of her wand.

As Allora, Maddy can totally be herself. She spends a lot of time questing with Sir Leo, a brave knight who seems to really like Allora, and maybe even the IRL (In Real Life) Maddy. Allora’s virtual life is perfect, but a real gamer girl understands that real life comes first – Maddy knows she can’t escape from her IRL problems. She has to find ways to kick back at the Haters, rock her manga and find the new, real life friends she knows she deserves.

Fucking lol.

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

The author of Gamer Girl also wrote a vampire series of books.

My god, I'm already raging. As much I don't mind the use of brand names, the stereotyping my fucking god.

>>131950
she's 35 right?

she is WAY too old to be dressing like that

also, the "Gothic Lolita" style never works in the real world, get over yourselves and go back to your flannel shirts

>>131733
I've been taking this in stride like a Vonnegut character so far but this is making me come close to raging.

Fuck, I thought Catcher in the Rye was going to be the /lit/ troll topic of choice.

But fuck, I was mistaken.

It can't be twilight.

>the Blood Coven series consists of four fantasy/romance novels by award-winning author Mari Mancusi. It follows the lives of the twins Sunshine McDonald and Rayne McDonald. Different like their names, Sunshine “Sunny” is a blond handsome girl which is popular in school whereas Rayne is kind of goth rebellious girl with few friend. The story starts when Rayne should become a vampire but instead Sunny was bitten.

>Boys That Bite: After long time of studies, Rayne has gain the right to be turned to a vampire but on her great day the vampire, who should turn her, bites her twin Sunny by mistake. Now, Sunny has one week left to find the antidote if she wants to stay human.

>Stake That: Not only is Rayne still human but she also has to work for the other side “Slayer Inc”. She gets the mission to stop the insane Vampire Maverick, who wants to take over the local coven. The coven leader Magnus orders his general Jareth to work together with Rayne to save his coven from losses but Jareth bears a personal hatred towards Slayer Inc. which he transfers on Rayne.

>Girls That Growl: Now, a vampire but without vampire strength and vampire powers Rayne is still forced to go to school and to work for Slayer Inc. Her new Mission is to infiltrate the cheerleaders and find a missing football player. How could a goth girl which uses every chance to tease the cheerleaders join their ranks?

>>131618
>>131618
>>131618

Haha, oh wow.

Audiobook guy here, nice to see that every board hates this book as much as /v/ does.

>>132067
>Rayne should become a vampire but instead Sunny was bitten.

Rayne must be fucking pissed that she's not like Edward.

When was the last on topic post, three posts into this ragefest?

Wow, I'm going to write a cliche teen girl novel and make a lot of money, because apparently, it's easy to do.

>>132081
This audiobook is beautifully done though.

so she's pretty much like if Stephanie Meyer were hired to ghostwrite for Poppy Z. Brite

>>132094
Welcome to 4chan.

>>132099
No, you can't. Men can't do it. Only women are possible of forcing themselves to write something so terrible it causes people across the world to wish they were dead. You can't do it, anon, you'll die, or write something that's actually decent and won't sell.

/lit/, I shall sacrifice myself. I'm going to read this book and hope that I don't die in the process. I just need a link and I'll chronicle my progress at a later date, assuming that I didn't die due to the shitty prose.

We discuss this further. I've set up a tinychat room.

>>132121
Dude here, I've been writing a teen romance, eight chapters into first draft atm. Feels good, man.

MOTHER OF GOD. just because it's a 'classic' does not make it a good book. This book was the biggest pile of bullshit I have ever read. I hate Jane austen's wwriting style, and no matter what middle aged divorcees everywhere will tell you, it is NOT witty.

>>132136
LINK PLZ

>>132136

Link?

>>132156
wat

>>132149
...I hope you don't die, man. We've seen how Twilight fangirls made Robert Pattinson run into traffic and get hit by a car, and if your novel is a success, then something even worse could happen to you.

/lit/, I need your help. I started listening to this as a trial earlier in this thread, but i'm starting to enjoy it. The grandmother is trolling everyone! Its glorious! Shes trolled the entire fucking school and her grandaughter about 400 times, and you can tell the bitch is enjoying it.

Is there any composition, at all? Seriously, in nearly every picture so far, she flies through what could have been an actual scene with hardly a glance.

>>130561
burn it with fire

>>132193
Oh no, the writing is absolute shit. Also, Chad is a Gary Stue.

Post the end of the URL. We can figure it out from there.

>>131345
I can't top that, what the fuck?

With the last full sentence of that scan, it almost seems like a really bad lemon where they end up fucking.

Apparently at least they managed to fix the camwhore problem. Bit a shame we can't use it legitimately.

>>132218
OK

I will never understand what you nerds are fapping over.

>>132193
I guess that's what kids like. They like to read summaries. Because if you don't tell them exactly what to think they don't know what's going on.

>>132253
you only read the first book, didn't you?

>>131208

Really? It's not Shakespeare but I thought it was a good book. More relevant than 1984.

>>132274
Quit at chapter 52 or so when I realized the only thing I was going to get out of the series was to learn precisely when, and by which family member, Sansa gets raped. I figure that counts as “read”. Don't plan to touch anything with his name on it ever again.

>>131345

The fuck is this shit

>>132317
PROTIP: Sansa never gets raped.

>>132317
>didn't actually read the books.

Holy shit, listening to the reading of this book is making me physically nauseated.

Gamer Girl = RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE AAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

Mari Mancusi must have asperger disease.

>>132330
PROTIP: You know she will.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Never before had I thought that the world would be better off by destroying a book and any memory of it,.

terrible writing, terrible characters, whiny as hell.
overall it makes Twilight look like it was written by Faulkner

>>132332
I read, what, over 500 pages of his writing? I don't need to eat the whole turd to know it's crap.

>>132403
its not rape if she wants it

which is kind of the way its going right now

>>132410
Which family member? Or are they all dead?

>>132405
take a drink every time anybody in the book sheds a tear

>>132410
Littlefinger would never RAEP, he's grooming her to be his pet pussy pretty much.

>>132367

"Asperger's blight," please.

>>132417
None of the Lannisters ever rape Sansa, but it's implied Joffrey wants to.

So... we're in agreement, GRRM = Gamer Girl levels of shit?

>>132424
too bad well never see it come to fruition because GRRM is a fat fat fucker who is too busy watching football and eating doritos to publish his damn book

>>132447
>>132448

>>132437
too bad hes dead just like everyone else in this series is or will be

>>132459
except Jon and Dany, amirite?

The sheer disgusting awfulness of the House on Mango Street. Like torture for your brain. And because it's always taught in school, you have to read it. But it hurts, it hurts so much...

>>132579
Not only that, but WE had to read it in the original. shitsux.
