It's like 400 pages and it's too long and too rushed at the same time lol... There's a lot of things that get brought up and are very detailed just to never appear again or to get killed off later with just a few sentences.

They never have abbreviations for organizations, either, unless it's some kind of pun. It's always either something like "the Society," "the Alliance," or "T.E.E.T.H." or "G.U.M.S." Real life has stuff like the IRA, PLO, or the KKK. If an organization isn't abbreviated, it has a name that explains ideology/makes it clear whose side they're on/isn't some generic noun. Groups such as the French Resistance, the Central Powers, Spanish Republicans, Westboro Baptist Church, and so on. Very few organizations have on-the-nose branding. DARE, PETA, and MADD are some examples of organizations abbreviated to be related to what they represent, but it's not on-the-nose like it is in fiction.

The funny thing is, when the dude made the joke about the rebel group name being a pun, my mind actually didn't go to any modern YA dystopian novels - it went to Les Miserables. In the book the revolutionary group is called Les Amis de L'ABC. Because they're almost all students. But it's also a pun because in French, the language the novel was originally written in, "l'abaisse " meaning "the abased" aka "the poor and suffering", is pronounced the same way.

what about the one trope where the MC bands together with other people like them, such as: - the overly-angsty one who has an overly-angsty backstory - the oddly positive one who actually is either working with the antagonist(s), has an overdramatic death after a few chapters, or is just REALLY depressed and is trying to hide it until that one minor thing that makes them have a mental breakdown - the rowdy, violent one who wants to fight everything but is actually really nice - fanservice character who might be part of a love triangle/square basically the harem trope in every other fantasy anime. another trope could be that the entire story was just a dream and the reader just got trolled big time, or it could be the most basic isekai you could think of.

@@scienceandponies Like, no? You can‘t even consider it recent since it‘s just the concept of people being entitled to their capital, which you could trace back all the way to the first caveman. And if you‘re gonna argue „money“, people have been using salt as a currency all the way back 6000 years before Christ. And yes, giant corporations are shit, I get it, but have you considered the damage that the few socialist, or generally non-capitalist countries have managed to cause? At some point you have to consider that we‘re in the billions already, despite animals that are also in the billions are usually fucking tiny and that by the way physiological potencies work we will always have a moderate amount of suffering. Capitalism is just the best choice, even if it sucks. And it did cause the colllapse, but so did socialism, and so did every other form of government, because our rapid reproduction has already pushed us far beyond the limitations of our environment and just now came to realise our effect on the planet.

Currently reading Ready Player One at the age of 19 and it's pretty obvious that this was made for people 5 years younger. The plot radiates "Teens will find this deep" energy thoughout and it hurts my soul. Wade is also just a total fucking incel too. Makes me nervous to go back to the Gone series. Loved those books when I was 13 and I always tell people that they are the exception when it comes to YA books but now I'm really questioning that.
