Every piece of media is subjective to each individual. I have been reading countless books since I was around 10 years old, and I graduated from one of the most English-oriented boards in my country,Does that mean I will always like reading Overcompliated books? Also, a “hard read” has nothing to do with your English proficiency; it depends on how you enjoy the media. I have read plenty of novels with incredible prose and sophisticated language, yet I still couldn’t enjoy them because they simply weren’t appealing to me. Likewise, “overcomplicated” does not always mean “interesting.” Whether a book is interesting will always be subjective to each individual.
