How to view fast food literature

I think this is an era of fast food culture, and literature is also becoming fast food literature. The pace of people's lives is getting faster and faster, and the pressure of survival is getting higher and higher. It is no longer possible to read quietly for a few minutes with large books such as "Les Misérables" and "Anna Karenina" as in the past. night.

What is popular now? Shi Kang, Baby Annie, Wei Hui? I'm probably out of date. There must be writers of the newer generation than these. If you know, can you tell me? But what I’m talking about has nothing to do with this. I’m not talking about a specific person. I’m talking about a phenomenon, that is, the direction of our reading.

If a novel cannot capture readers within a thousand words (five hundred words), it will fail because the readers have no interest in continuing to read. Even if you write extravagantly next time, it will not matter. It doesn’t help. Am I being too absolute in saying this? For many novels, even though the beginning is not good, you still read them patiently, and the more you read, the more interesting they become. But so what? If the author wasn't famous, or the novel itself was famous, would you have such patience? Tear off the trademarks, and the famous brands are mixed with imitation brands and unbranded ones. Even if you are as discerning as you are, you probably don’t have the energy to distinguish them one by one. By analogy, those world famous books in today's era will not only fail to become masterpieces, but most of them should be sent to mountain villages to be burned. This can at least save a lot of firewood and save some forests that are on the verge of extinction.

What fast food literature wants is the pleasure of reading, sex, violence, being decadent, pretending to be a gangster... everything is good, plus the words will not make people shy away. I don't say there is anything wrong with this. Isn’t one of the functions of reading a book meant to relax your body and mind and kill boring time? Fast food is a good thing. You don’t have to sit upright, you don’t have to be afraid of making people laugh when you hold the knife and fork backwards, and you don’t have to pretend to be a gentleman and lady and chew slowly even though you are so hungry that you just scream.
