Kaito@babblingaboutstuff as long as it's real, it could be interesting. Not knowing this author at all, my biggest concern is that it could be whatever the writing equivalent of vibe-coded is.
If LLMs have taught me anything, it's how much I want to connect with another person through art.
just had a look. i have it seems several books of them, probably bought on sale. i have read none of them so far. i read the blurbs and it seems one is set in china and one in japan, two maybe in the states or canada or great britain, going by the names and one is set in a fantasy realm.
so being set in an asian country and having asian protagonists isn't unusual for the author.
i just didn't know how i feel about a, presumably, non thai and western person
1/x
2/x
who isn't related to the industry write a story like that.
but i realize that is completely bonkers of me.
for one i don't know if the author maybe is of thai origin, has friends or relatives who are thai, live in Thailand and wven if they worked in the industry. all possibilities.
and i don't expect an author who writes a bl romance about a bamd to be able to play an instrumwnt or to have been in a band themselves etc.
3/3
also i am not a fan of "only if you are/have experienced z you are allowed to write about it"
so i have no clue or would need to gi deeper in my mind to know why this book seemed different.
edit: as i haven't read the books i have i can't say how 'real' they are. at least one is from 2017 i guess that was before vibe coding but not before mass producing books/sloppy writing.
(something i keep noticing with another author and i am still buying their books 😢)
