so far i have been scavenging through my old childhood books i never came to read and giving them a chance, and i happened to come across the hobbit...

😤😮‍💨 ... i just wish the characters were more inclusive tbh, like it mainly consist of men/men like creatures making morally questionable decisions/actions🙈. it made me feel distant from the story, and eventually i became less attentive to the whole book😔. tho the only character that gave me the will to persevere to the end was bilbo; who was the most relatable for me.

but on top of the monochrome characters, the narrator personally irritated me at times😳. either the writing just sounded off to me or it would directly address the reader; which is a very personal pet peeve for me because it snaps me back to reality😵‍💫 (which is the last thing i want when i am trying to fully engulf myself in a fantasy world😖). 

also i got to say i skipped chapter 8 because i kind of have @r@chnophobi@(pls dont judge me🙈) and i had no idea the book contained it. but judging by the events that came afterwards, it doesnt seem like i even missed much and caught up with the storyline fairly well without reading that chapter🤷‍♀️. 

as for the plot, thats the only thing i enjoyed🤠; tho there are some moments that could change to maybe have more effect in capturing the readers attention? (again mainly personal because some scenarios just lack any ✨wow✨ factor for me). 

anygays, the characters and narration is not my cup of tea, but there is potential in creating an epic story with this plot!! butt if you dont care for relatable characters or some direct narration, youll prolly love it more than moi!!🥰
