  • Post Limit?

    Hello. I am not really sure if this goes on here, if it doesn't, do let me know, please! And if you could direct me towards the correct area, I would appreciate it.

    I have started getting more consistent with reading, instead of taking entire weeks to read 1 book, therefore I am gonna be more active on the book forums. And I have noticed for the first time yesterday, that there is a limit of posts we can make in 24 hours? I don't know if this is a new feature? If we can surpass it by contributing to the site/app, or I was just not aware of it due to not participating as much...

    But it very annoying and disruptive. Especially when a book is specifically engaging, and I am trying to read it in 1 or 2 days, I am bound to make more than 5 posts... And I think it can get quite confusing for both the person sharing their thoughts and the people reading them when I have to compile opinions from different pages into 1 single post... I think that defeats the entire purpose of a feature like that?

    And if I don't wanna compile everything together, because it ends up being messy and confusing, I have to basically keep my thoughts and not write at all. And I enjoy writing what I think as I read along, and I love seeing what everyone else thinks while reading along.

    I am not going to lie, but that is the main feature I even use this app for. That's what makes this place unique for me. So the limit makes no sense.

    I understand there can't be infinite posts for 1 book in such a short span of time, because people could spam to infinity and beyond, but 5 is just not enough?

    I guess, I would to ask if there is any possibility into bringing the limit number a bit higher? Like, at least 10? 15? I think that gives us all a better chance of giving our thoughts on important bits and pieces we read without being too overwhelming. Cuz, again, 5 works maybe if you only read some pages per day, but if you read an entire book in 1 or 2 days, you can't fully express your thoughts.

    I don't know if anyone agrees with me. I would love to know everyone's opinion, though. And sorry for rambling so much lol. I just feel stuck, like do I stop reading until tomorrow, or do I read and just not share what I think on here?

    Family Drama actually had so many elements that should have worked for me.. complicated family relationships, dual timelines, and a story about a mother living a double life and the ripple effects it leaves behind. However, I struggled a lot and it was hard for me to stay invested. The writing itself is very dense and stylized, and while I can appreciate what it was trying to do, it often felt so embellished that it created distance between me and the characters instead of pulling me closer. The constant timeline (again, something that I absolutely love in books) and POV shifts also made it difficult to stay grounded, and I found myself having difficulties just trying to piece together what was happening. There’s absolutely an audience for this, especially readers who love more experimental, literary family sagas, but for me, it was hard to fully connect, and I finished it feeling more detached than moved.

    *Many thanks to Simon & Schuster for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
