Everyone has a book that you like or even loved. It can be atmospheric, exciting, interesting, and the author's writing style is beautiful. But the characters can be boilerplate or even cardboard.
For example, "Babel" by R. F. Kuang, this book is atmospheric in the first half, fascinating in the second. But the characters… Well, it was interesting to watch the main character's thoughts.
The reason for the alteration: for some reason, my post had a low score of 17%.
