Seeing a text post "Moe what the FUCK did you do" without being catched up on the ARG genuinely terrified me

Has anyone else ever tried to convince their friends to read the books™, only for the conversation to go something along the lines of...

Friend: I'm not reading them

Me: Why not?

Friend: Because you don't sound like you like them very much, you complain about them all the time

Me: They have some problems, but they are really good

Friend: You said they have enough plot holes to function as a spaghetti strainer

Me: Well, yeah, but the worldbuilding heavily relies on time manipulation, so it's bound to happen...

Friend: The main character who is also the narrator of the story isn't very likeable

Me: Yes but everyone else is great more or less and he makes up for it by being relatable sometimes

Friend: You also said that the author frequently changes facts from previous installations and doesn't even bother to come up with an explanation

Me: Yes, but it was originally supposed to be a standalone book so i can let it slide

Friend: A standalone book that ends on a cliffhanger?

Me: I forgot i told you about that

Friend: Ok sure, what about the second trilogy then?

Me: Absolute garbage, publishing the fourth book shoud be considered a felony

Friend: Remind me which one is your favourite again?

Me: The... fourth one

Friend: Are you starting to see the problem here?

Me: Ok, fine, the story is poorly thought out and unsatisfying, interesting concepts keep being dropped in favour of progressing the plot and the continuity is a joke, but other than that they're amazing

Friend: So what do you actually like about them?

Me: The characters

Friend: The characters?

Me: Yes

Friend: The same ones you went on multiple rants about constantly acting out of character?

Me: Yes?

Friend: How do you even acomplish that in two trilogies?

Me: Rushing the creative process and not caring about your own work, combined with an utter disregard for previously established canon

Friend: I feel like you're just hallucinating your own version of the books at this point

...

Me: Pictures

Me: There's pictures

Friend: Can't argue with that lol

Like Ransom, Sir, you made my favourite thing in the world and i am infinitely grateful for it, but then you also kinda set it on fire repeatedly and i don't know how to feel about that part...

And for anyone wondering, they did in fact read the first book, i don't know why, I'm terrible at marketing it It might have something to do with the fact i have taken to describing Miss Peregrine as Mary Poppins with anxiety
