Yes, but it won’t be any good. It’ll be a passable and bland 200ish page YA book. It’ll be enough to get us to stop shitting on him after some anons try to hard and embarrass themselves and that’ll be the end of it.

But he'd be the one coming up with the plot and a characters. I think it will be 10x better. I think he's basically wrote a draft and the editors are writing a proper book for him. He's ESL and really shit at prose so it's for the best.

Rice Cuck's problem is he's a child with no meaningful struggle or life experience. He is only trying to imitate books he's read and not doing a good job of it. I fail to see how all of these factors would melt away in the next four months.

memes aside I literally have no idea of what he is even trying to say with those paragraphs. It really does read like a teenager writing about art like a fucking faggot who just heard that art is magnificent and godly and whatever but has literally no idea why that actually is and just spews the same shit he's heard others say. He has nothing to say, basically, and what he is trying desperately to repeat is done in such a pathetically bad way that it's impossible not to laugh. He likes books and dressing up as an academic, he fancies himself as an artist who is, as he might put it, erudite. He reads books that he thinks are great because he's told they're great, but it's obvious that he doesn't actually know why they're great, he just reads them and pretends. It's a huge larp. I hate people who are full of themselves, so I hate this guy. Also, the learned disguise is such a shitty and pretentious title, so he can go fuck himself just for that.

>With his wife Hadley, Hemingway first visited the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain, in 1923, where he became fascinated by bullfighting.[46] It is at this time that he began to be referred to as "Papa", even by much older friends. Hadley would much later recall that Hemingway had his own nicknames for everyone, and that he often did things for his friends; she suggested that he liked to be looked up to. She didn't remember precisely how the nickname came into being; however, it certainly stuck.

No. If it's good it will be because of the editors he hired.
I'm not saying he can't improve (everyone can, I think). But TLD is from the past year and it's utter shit, it's impossible that he had became a decent writer in just one year of practice.
And going by the plot it will be a generic dystopian YA, so I think he's trying to settle down in a teen/young audience who isn't really into high literature (maybe someone with more brain cells has advised him to do so, and it's a good move considering his YT's audience).

>>16800981

>He reminds me of when I was a teenager and I had dreams of being great without really trying hard to learn or know anything
This is so true. When I was a teen I thought I could be a great writer pretty much just because I read the classics. But when I'd sit down and try to write it would just be pure trash and then I realised I didn't have the talent, Waldens me without the little bit of self awareness I had.

He'll probably grow out of this in a few years. I think him having a little fan base that suck his dick and call him a genius is probably what gave him the ego to do it.

I think the fact that he's a rich trust fund baby that has a good life is a big factor to why lit dislikes him so much

His third novel is going to be a mess (time jumping shit) but it doesn't matter, because his scam is to do omg so quirky garbage that impresses academic fags who ramble about theory and style and don't know an ass from a mouth. He doesn't care about producing something good. He cares about tricking other people into saying or even thinking that it's good (of course then he will trick himself into thinking it's good). Then he gets accolades from the ass to mouth people and will obviously go for his masters, constantly talk about how he was published (by whothefuckknows, but whatever), and aim for an elbow patches job.

I get why an "agent" exists as an entity, but there has to be a better way for publishers to sift through the garbage manuscripts than this. The concept of an agent seems extremely scummy. I pay a loser money just so he can email his ex-college buddy to tell him his publishing house should publish my manuscript? Surely there is a better way to get vetted?

True, agents generally do more if you're an actual author, but it might seem that way when you're trying to get your foot in the door.
but sending unsolicited submissions to a publishing house, especially a big one, would be literally impossible.
most mags that take unsolicited sumbissions have a six month waiting period for 3-5 pages of poetry.

Not currently. Scummy middlemen in every industry. Real estate agents and so on. The literary agent only makes money if they sell your book to a publisher. They take a cut from the advance and royalties. So, they will try to get as big of an advance as possible from the publisher. To get that, the book needs to be good, so the publisher justifies the advance against sales expectations.

An editor isn't supposed to write anything dumbass, it's just acute constructive criticism over the already written stuff.
That said, I believe that when he says that he hired a "group of editors" for his new novel he's really saying he hired a group of ghostwriters.
