boonster18 's review for:
Yellowface
by R.F. Kuang
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
One could criticize that the main character is too dramatically written, or one-sided, or too fictional..etc, but the sad reality is, there are actually pretendians out there who will always keep denying instead of learning from their mistakes. Although this is after all a work of fiction, I think the author made this very intentional. I think the cringe factors do a good job of showing some of the microaggressions and straight up aggressions that many BIPOC have to deal with in many fields of creative and academic work.
