Am I only just noticing, or has it always been like this?
I read a ton, often Kindle Unlimited titles, but I buy quite a few novels as well. While I've never read the Jack Reacher series, I've read a few with a similar premise and it feels like every time I try to start one now the composition is almost exclusively short sentences.
I.e. If you remove every comma I've used in this post and replaced it with a period, it would be similar to most of these novels I've picked up recently.
When I read Sci-fi or Fiction this doesn't stand out to me. Heck, even LitRPG stories (which aren't my favorite by far) seem to be better in this sense.
Many of these novels have several thousand 4 or 5 star reviews, but I find them distracting or annoying to the point where I give up on the book.
Am I the only one with this particular frustration?
