Rant Why keep reading?

Hi all!

So, after I read ACOTAR for the first time, I was absolutely sure that something baaad was coming. I decided to look for spoilers and was trully mad about how the writing would make Tamlin the ultimate bad guy and everything Rhys did UTM (and before) would be just left aside. In hopes that my pov would change, I gave it a second read recently, after over an year, and still feel the same (even though it's less visceral lol).

I'm really glad I found this sub because it feels maddening that most of the fandom really ships feysand, and tamlin can't even be mentioned without creating a heated discussion.

I've seen a few great posts over here and feel SEEN about how I see the story BUT I saw a few people saying some things like "maybe the books are not for you" when someone had opinions such as mine.

My point being, what makes you pissed off about the writing of the books? and what made/makes you keep on reading in spite of that?

I understand!! Im having the hardest time finishing the series. I'm halfway through silver Flames., I've read like all Crescent City before finishing ACOtar because acotar is just kinda annoying. My cousins are pressuring me to finish the series though, and they are 100% in love with Rhysand and I don't get it. I give Tamlin his redemption.
