you can tell they were figuring out novels back then. feels like I'll end up saying that for most if not all of the eighteenth century novels I was assigned to read. it rings true for Robinson Crusoe as well, unfortunately. many things that seem interesting to me get mentioned in passing and the things I couldn't care about if I tried get described in utterly excruciating detail

I'm sure all that was very inspiring to some people. to me it was mostly just dreadfully boring
