Generally speaking we read novel or watch any media because we like something about them BUT that's not always the case. There are many novels/shows/animes I personally for sure have hate read/watched.

Some ongoing examples are;

1. Shadow Slave (Novel)
2. Can a boy and girl friendship survive? (Anime)

So, what are your hate reads? (I just want something to hate currently... My inner frieza is tingling!!)

None. If a work isn't good or interesting why would I read it?
It's not about a work being straight up garbage... No, it's when you like a work but a single thing makes you hate it. Like it could be, maybe your personal taste or preference. Suppose you liked a story, you have read hundreds of chapter then the MC starts showing feelings for their sibling, you are heavily intrested in the story. Maybe because of the lore, world building anything. And that incest bs is making your blood boil. At that point maybe just maybe you will still continue the work just for the world building or lore. Thats hate reading... At least from my point.

Do dropped works count?

Love these threads. My punching bag:

I will forever burn this. Speed read the first 10 chapters.
That reminds me: burn this too

I don't hate watch/read stuff. If I start to hate it, off it goes.

Any time where fantastic writing gets switched out for mediocre writing midway through, but the story has enough of a hook in you that you feel compelled to see it out despite no longer being worth your time. Obvious example is late Game of Thrones, but happens suprisingly often.

1. Azarinth Healer. Towards chapter 200, I didn't know why I even ever started and cut it. The most upsetting where the characters. Especially bad was that one "betrayal by her friend that happened for no actual reason. Yet, a total trainwreck is the MC. The MC is a genocidal maniac. Culling whole ecosystems without care, so hard that it begs the question of how this solely predatory world even sustains itself, if levels are solely gained by killing. She makes decision purely by gut feeling, and somehow they always turn out to be the best. She's weirdly attached to people being violent to her, while abusing those around her who are weaker. The weirdest, she started out as a nurse in training, and at some point, she originally states that she hates helping people, because it's annoying.

2. Sapiens. That one took absolutely the worst out of any cultivation story, while disguising it as mana, magical fantasy. The MC starts with an uncalled-for inferiority complex because of having less raw strength, with ten times the versatility. Also, she gains power by killing. At the start, they say it's not like that, and that's good, because it would be sacrilegious power, but that's kinda ignored, as it works solely like this.
While she pushes herself to godhood, she becomes absolutely ignorant of those weaker than her, with zero tolerance.
But now to the greatest gripe. It's totally a rank system cultivation. Absolutely nothing can stop a character of greater power. Not even the laws of physics. Fire shields stop gigantic stone spears (however heat is gonna do that). They are immune to poison, because why not? They have passive total surveillance and can't ever be ambushed, not even in their sleep. The whole world bends itself to make it impossible that weaker level can even stand up to higher.

Don't usually hate watch things. The one exception that comes to mind is the anime Gun Frontier.

That show sucks, is utter dogshit. But a combination of being created by the same guy who made Captain Harlock, and it being one of the few western themed animes made me keep watching to see how the train wreck went

I read 5+ chapters of this ai-slop. Protag runs a post-apocalyptic food truck, explicitly because the gods want to fuck with him. Nubile compliant slaves on tap.

Extras will crawl through a frozen landscape for days to buy two cans of hot food.


... not recommended.
