honestly? i really dont like it. already some of the premium - monitored and selected - books were offensive and clumsy. when i think abt opening it to the public, all i can think of is like, whattpad and movellas. even when it werent some deeply offensive trap flick, it was just low quality writing. like, wholesale. like i would never publish smth on tapas bc of this. idk, im prolly too uptight abt writing, but bad writing really, really eats at me.
when it first came out though, i did think it was kinda cool as an opportunity to get a story out there. im sure its very exciting for lots of people and some good stuff will come through. i wont read it though. i cant do book reading on a platform like this, ive been set up for a comic attention span.
and thats another thing - this is a comic site. for comics. tapas coulda set up a twin site for novels, but this is a platform with comics at its core and primary focus. so i just dont like the adding of novels for that reason too. it changes the character of the site.
