| Re: Is worldbuilding pointless? i am a basic reader, and i'll make a basic point.
I need different "qualities" to what i read.
Sometimes, quality is a page-turner (when i need to forget where i am)
some other times, quality is about reflection and stretching my thoughts (this happens when i'm not sure where i am)
or poetry, something that is like music, because i'm well where i am (but also when i'm really not well)
so quality is different when the need and the point of view vary
if many basic readers buy a basic book, it means that the book has some quality (for them)
if many critics praise some other book...
my point: quality is never abstract |
