Because I read the night land and was tired of the over complicated prose (I know there’s a rewritten version and it’s an extreme case but it’s just an example) and then dune and wow, I love the story narrative and yes inner monologues are bangers for me.
I love that the complexity of the story is in the plot not how complicated he can write it, ofc I understand the appeal to complicated writing, but honestly I’ve learnt that in novels I prefer simple writing, with amazing world building and characters.
I just felt everything so real, the thoughts really made think the plot isn’t narrated rather experienced by each and every character,.
Ofc this is just an opinion let me know yours, why do you like/ dislike it? Ami just a moron incapable of appreciating complex writing?

If I cannot get any emotional feeling from a book (humor, intrigue, admiration, horror, etc…), it’s a DNF. Dune is on a somewhat long list of DNFs for me.
Nothing against it. Lots of people are into that “high detail” style of book. It’s just not my thing.
I think that some people enjoy being carried through a story in excruciating detail, some people enjoy building it themselves in their imaginations. I personally loved dune, my wife absolutely hated it. We are on opposite ends on reading Tolkien as well.
I think it is a ‘to each their own’ situation. No one’s opinion is ‘correct’, it is simply their own enjoyment of their experience.
