Guilty Pleasure

what kind of guilty pleasure you like to read but you'd never admit to tryhard Yea Forumsfags?

I love warhammer fantasy novels, most of them are really good, the End Times was a bummer.

I read tons of gook webnovels. I don't particularly mind admitting it, though, it's fun trying to justify the merit of the ones I legitimately like.

I love reading light hearted shipping fanfiction. I spent several years writing my own. I like to project myself onto the guy.

Cold war era fiction set in the aftermath of nuclear war, e.g. Warday, Resurrection Day, On the Beach, Alas Babylon, The Last Ship.

It's a shame about the Last Ship TV adaptation, it could have been fantastic had they actually adapted it properly.

New Thought books. New Thought is generally frowned upon here

I've dipped in a few times and the ones I've tried have been just godawful. Could be the translations I suppose. Was hoping for something that would hook me at least.

I read Mills and Boon type femoid smut if they involve black slave girls.

Horror is the only genreshit I can enjoy. I don't really have "guilty pleasures".

Without a doubt, most of it is unreadable trash, and even more is illegibly translated. There are maybe five I've read that I felt broke past both barriers. I read the trash anyway in hopes of mining a few more worth liking. I have a lot of fun hunting for treasure.

Winnie the Pooh, it is unironically one of my favorite books. it is comfy, lighthearted and just an all around uplifting book

i actually liked liveblog lol. i can't believe i read the whole thing. i hope Megan comes out with more work.

I read adult manhwa

warhammer books got me into reading earlier this year. I like the stuff from Dan Abnett.

like graphic novels of serious books, porno comics, or straight up japanese manga style with more sexual/violent situations like City Hunter?

I kinda cringe saying this, but: I read a graphic novelization of Art of War told/taught through a story of a mil vet trying to make it in [literal] "corporate warfare" set in future San Francisco and orbital space. With telepathically controlled ants and shit. It greatly helped me understand the subject a little better. And I'm 30+. Don't regret reading it, but it sounds silly when I said I understood it a little better than reading the dry text in Mandarin or English

I browse reddit just to take a look into the normie NPC ideosphere

Lol I did this the other day when Roe v Wade first got overturned just to laugh at the seething baby killers. Funniest thing is all this talk of "sex strikes" and no more one night stands, supported by scores of white knights. Win win situation for sane people who understand the degeneracy of hook up culture.

post them user, it is time

Historical fiction.

Why are white knights such cancerous people and what causes them to persist?

visual novels, which I think have potential as a form, but they're unfortunately associated with low quality eroges

Same. I only read english webnovels now, though. I used to read xianxias and Japanese webnovels but my liking was overcomed by bad translations and poor plot devices.

I read some stuff on reddit, too. I often go there to get 'real' reviews on stuff I'm planning to buy or room decor. Most subreddits are insufferable though and I don't know how to describe it but most people feel alien and truly akin to NPC after when you read them. The most upvoted jokes are retarded and unfunny, their advices are unrealistic most of the time (e.g "should I dump my girlfriend? I just learned she fucked over 60 guys in college" "no, the past is the past") and overall it's as if they have pink tinted glasses and live in another world. It's chilling to know that redditors are numerous in real-life and that people (well, women mostly) really think like that.

My favourite example was this comment which went: "after hearing the news about Roe v Wade, I turned to my partner and profusely apologised that she had to live in a world which did not respect her bodily autonomy"
Simping is so unattractive, its almost fair enough that he is definitely being cucked.

>women mostly
Isn't the main demographic male?

I don't care about reading classics
I only read history
War and Peace is boring as fuck. I tried, 500 pages later it's still shit.

I would say 50/50 any given day
>It's chilling to know that redditors are numerous in real-life
oh I know I've met people that fit stereotypes of them all over. conversely, I've never met many so-called "chuds" in real life and think its a mostly online phenomenon.

famous lit is a guilty pleasure for me irl.

I really, really like Monogatari.

I heard a lot of praise for Reverend Insanity

Name your top 4 please

I have read every word of Haruki Murakami's work that has been translated into English at least twice

Same, have you read this one?
cunshang.net/book/A_Slow_Boat_to_China/2.htm
I think it was never officially translated. There is some other stuff too.

I do the same thing but straight up shoujo manga.

my guilty pleasure is not reading.
despite browsing this board I never read.
That is ok.
I am the 99%.

Nothing shameful about that. Those are some very well crafted stories. Great characters and clever plots. I read them all to my daughter a couple times a year.

I like romance manga, particularly by female authors. My favorites are Otoyomegatari and BokuYaba.

It's really good and a shame the chinese gov't didn't let him finish it

Bodice rippers from the 70s-80s

I love literary journalism and epistolary novels/real life epistolography. Not ashamed of it, but I'll drop a classic for one of those.

pop history

Fairy Tales, folklore, myths. Any and all cultures, from Grimm to ooga booga African tales. Have enjoyed them since I ws a child.
Shel Silverstein too.

For me it's Star Wars books
Yeah they certainly lack when it comes to prose, informational value, and reading difficulty.

But, they're fun, I get to read about characters that I'm invested in due to the movies, and sometimes the stories are more unique than han/luke/Leia do x thing
For instance pic related has various short stories, with everything from smugglers, to mercenaries, to hackers, to thrawn.

And ironically star wars books are probably denser than anything the average pseud here reads

>Alas Babylon
That's a good one.

I think the Hunger Games was pretty revolutionary, it touched a generation and it's very indicative of the changing values of that generation. It's very dark and anticapitalist/antiauthoritarian for mainstream media. Keep in mind the prior major mainstream hits were Twilight and then Harry Potter. The writing isn't the best but it's still a major shift in terms of the plot.

Smut. I read femdom smut on literotica.

>what kind of guilty pleasure you like to read but you'd never admit to tryhard Yea Forumsfags?
I just decided not to be ashamed of anything.
>I love warhammer fantasy novels, most of them are really good, the End Times was a bummer.
I read Warhammer 40,000 from time to time, a lot of good books, some really great and there is no reason to put them apart from the "big" literature.

I started getting into philosophy and theology to find a way to reach my waifu I genuinely love.

I like Stephen Kings output before 2000.

Do you have any recommendations?

What does that mean?

All kinds of weebshit, the writing is often suspect but I like it anyway.

I don't really consider any book a "guilty" pleasure, because I'm unapologetic about liking them, but I really enjoy campy monster horror novels, where crack commando teams need to fight dinosaurs, or spiders eat everyone in New York. Right now I'm bouncing between the much more refined Tim Curran's Dead Sea and the b-tier action camp that is Matthew Reilly's Seven Deadly Wonders.

got any good recs?

I unironically quite like Anne Rice novels. Also I find Alice in Wonderland a really cute book and want to read it to my children later

My favorite book series that actually made me enjoy reading was seekers, first book i ever cried and could imagine the setting, read it in 4th grade and still to this day one of the better stories i've read.

Small horse fanfiction

>I read tons of gook webnovels.
The Koreans write web novels? I thought they mainly made soap operas.

I've posted them in sffg before, but I liked
>SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
>The World After the Fall
>Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
>The Second Coming of Gluttony
>Isaac

Same here user. Shouldn't be a guilty pleasure though, only pseuds and midwits would judge you for reading such stuff.
