When is it bad prose and when is it author style

When is it bad prose and when is it author style

What is objectively bad prose

Can I defend myself with author style or is that only for authors with many published works.
Am I purple?

is it pleasant to read?

>Something being pleasant to read is the critica for its worth
Holy shit brainlet

>I enjoy things I don't enjoy

>Enjoying reading something in the short-term is the only basis for liking something, regardless of the knowledge, perspective, or understanding it ultimately rewards you for being hard or at times frustrating to digest

>knowledge, perspective, or understanding
>not a premise of future joy

>"Pleasant to read" somehow implies anything more than happiness (and not challenge) in the actual act of reading

we're talkimg about prose, you fucking spastic
a book may grant you wisdom or perspective or whatever despite it being shit prose-wise
nobody is aaying you shouldn't read a book that has bad prose except your made-up strawman
just admit you wanted to jerk yourself off over how intelectual you seem to see yourself

>>Something being pleasant to read is the critica for its worth
again, nobody fucking said this
fuck off you goddamn pseud

>talkimg
>aaying
>intelectual

>You do not derive happiness from overcoming challenges

>There is no unhappy aspect to engaging in literary challenges whatsoever

>Messing up your post

so what if im just born with bad prose and bad structure of thinking

Should I just kill myself?

Yes

read more, work on it, try to understand you are writing for other people. Its a lie that you're writing for yourself or to express yourself, you're writing to reach the global consciousness, if its ugly, just as if you were ugly, no one has any reason to approach it. It could contain unimaginable wisdom, but if its nestled within a repulsive exterior there is little if any impetus for people to try understanding you. Killing yourself is cowardly in every sense, joking about it even more so than doing it. Stop using anime images of little girls to communicate emotions. Learn to describe your feelings in words, or get an actual aesthetic sense and search for meaningful imagery that can convey it. What you put in pic related in the OP is vulgar, infantile and not worth anyone's time. If you have an example of your prose, then post it here, with an interesting image. Following internet subcultural trends to try to relate with people instead of being relatable is a sign of spiritual, intellectual, and emotional weakness. You don't want to remain feeble for your whole life, do you user?

If the choice is to be an idiot or be you then I choose idiocy.

If your prose sucks that means that it's underdeveloped - it won't necessarily be bad forever. One strategy to improve is to find a writer whose prose you like and want to imitate. After some time you'll be able to move from imitation to proper development of your own style.

Unfortunately, if you hate reading you're never going to succeed as a writer unless you're either a genius or someone with a message so overwhelmingly compelling that people will be willing to overlook your bad prose.

all i read is post world war II- 70s manga can i have good prose

you're more immature than I suspected, have a good day
of course you do

I'd rather be immature then you.

Have a good day. Take heart that I will always be better than you.

nice pseud piece

haha you type word bad

no
read actual literature

...

Why is it not actual literature

I like manga but they aren't literature, not when they tell story primarily through visual and wordy comics are usually considered a failure in story telling/ taking advantages of the medium strength.

I say it is literature.

Define your literature.

you keep saying that and then wonder why your prose is shit

If a picture book is literature why cant manga be literature

Because the pictures in a picture book are generally meant to be supplement to the story, not replacing the text as the main story telling device. As such, the text can be considered literature and thus the work itself can be literature. I have never heard of any picture books reached literature status though, even more so among the well-read crowd.

Oh. You're defining literature as something inherently profound!

Get off this board already. You constantly hijack threads by asking others to prove why anime isn't literature all while never presenting any contention of your own. Posing questions like "why is it not actual literature" and blankly stating that "I say it is literature" is not debate.

A picture book ISN'T literature. Literature is, by definition, writing. (Or so I've been told.)

A picture is worth a thousand words. That's a thousand words translated in an instant. No need for the imagination to actually work on anything, no need for you to mull over descriptive terms, or form your own view of the author's vision. Because it's right there. There's nothing wrong with it, but you have to understand that manga and books lacking pictures are two separate art mediums.

Congratulation I guess? You successfully made me feel stupid for actually taking you seriously.

Not him, but you're reading comprehension is about par with any other manga reader I've met. Maybe if he added an entire story board crudely depicting his point, you might have got it then bud.

I've never participated in this discussion before. But I think "I say it is literature" is just as good an argument in response to "I say it isn't literature."


luddites

How delusional are you? The post you quoted "I say it isn't literature." does not exist. This post does. There was an actual argument there that you either failed to recognize or address.

It's literature! Your focus on semantics are why you will never reach beyond Veeky Forums

>"It's thing because you're dumb!"
Woah, there're some hot arguments over here.

It's the most scum like you deserves. You're arguments are infantile and it's clear the biggest strength you have is the copy of webster's dictionary your mother gifted you. Go ahead stop responding to me, you wont. Your poorly constructed arguments are the reason why you will never make anything great. I am better then you.

Manga means that much to you, huh?
Sure.
Whatever.
Manga is literature. I have seen the light brought fourth by user!Jesus.
Congratulations, son.
You win.

I really don't give a fuck about manga to be honest. I haven't read that shit in a decade
