I think you're the first writer I've ever met that actually took his book down due to 'sexism and being generally bad'. Could you tell us a little more about that? c:
If this gets at least 100 notes, I’ll go into vivid detail on why I took down both This Crazy World and its sequel. Until then!
This Crazy World stars a 24 White dude named Nicholas Orinvinchi (admittedly, his last name is one of the only legitimately cool things about the series.) After his uncle finds out Nick cheated on his girlfriend (Miu Kato), said uncle blackmails him into saving the world from a death ray machine. Because if his girlfriend finds out, she will absolutely kill him.
Accepting every layer of ludicrosity for the absurdity that it is, Nick drags his girlfriend and around 6 other killers to make their way to said death ray machine and kill the one responsible for threatening the planet. What follows is a quick and maddening descent into ‘So Dark, So Gritty’ territory with no nuance on how to deliver the satirical portion of the book, making it being taken completely seriously.
But that isn’t even the main problem. The main problem is how problematic it is from a social, narrative, and characterization standpoint. If you thought Women of Xal’s demo was thoughtfully written and respectful to women, you can throw away any faith you had in me as a writer if you decide to read that seven year old book as I only ‘really’ got into my groove around two years ago.
