something i feel with many modern books i start is that even if they have some good ideas, the pacing and writing isn't really good. halfway through i'd rather read a synopsis on wikipedia.
@lain llms could fix this.

@mischievoustomato they probably can.
@mischievoustomato okay I gave the book that inspired this post to fable and told it to take the ideas and general plot, make it a 50 page short story with new characters and setting and use the style of an actually good writer, the result is indeed better.
