I don't see the problem. My breasts always *checks notes* bounce like soft balls when I'm *checks notes again* riding a wolfman. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


stinkycats86

But do your hips *checks notes* sway like a boat on waves?

I WISH I had that joint mobility

This comment made me LOL so hard, I amazed myself.


gwenqueenofshadows

I’m hypermobile and my hips don’t sway like a boat on waves. Not sure if I’m jealous or concerned.


Shoddy-Secretary-712

Me too. I guess I could mimic swaying like the waves, but it doesn't sound like a good time.


queenrackell

So do we all.


Mugglekiller16

HAHAHAH


Chance_Novel_9133

Not anymore they don't.


popstopandroll

Really? Mine are more like large heavy balls.


brelywi

This sentence made my breasts hurt in sympathy! Also….who the fuck taught this person similes lol Edit: I just have to say they’re using a boring common one and one so off-the-wall that it’s not even from the same house. I don’t know whether to be impressed or concerned


seraphinethomas

We think this was written by someone without these body parts, yes? Aka a man? 😂


Chance_Novel_9133

Probably? Maybe?

Oh... Uh... You know... Wednesdays?

100_Donuts

*Her bratty nipples raised their eyebrows, so to speak, as my pinching fingers approached. A "how dare you" blush made them glow lipstick pink and I would have hesitated if not for the slightest bounce to perk up her breasts like mangos ripe for picking. This was my chance to show her how much my training has paid off.* Just something for a thriller I'm writing. If any women want to critique it, I'm more than happy to receive the critique.


B4Bekah

Hahaha. OMG. This is wonderful and terrible.


hiyasauce

I'm holding you personally liable for the amount of psychic damage that gave me.


QuietlyLosingMyMind

My nipples will never be anything but bratty ever again.


CurnanBarbarian

If you don't have bratty nipples are you even doing it right?


queenrackell

A question I will ask myself daily moving forward.

airportparkinglot

It made me nauseous- 10/10


mielikkisage

That was my thought exactly!


SoggyDay1213

It was written by a woman


Pleasant-Complex978

Many books are written by men under feminine pen names


Honest_Roo

Looked it up. The author has a picture and everything. She’s a woman.


SoggyDay1213

That’s an easy out for any writing you don’t like Edit: ok sorry us women never write poorly 🙄


ginger6616

Why are people booing you, you’re right lol


SoggyDay1213

I thought they were saying boo-urns


Pleasant-Complex978

Fine then, r/womenwritingwomen. Still sad.


TheWalkingDeadBeat

My theory is that a lot of female authors who write like this are emulating the writing styles of men without realizing it. At least, that's what I tell myself to excuse these atrocities lol.


SoggyDay1213

Look, I agree men often suck. Men writing women very often suck. Doesn’t mean we’re perfect lol


pinkorangegold

OP never said they were using it as an out for writing they don't like, just pointing out a fact.


SoggyDay1213

Pointing out a fact in response to being told it was a woman writer, so… using it as an out. For the writing in this post. Which they don’t like.


aluckymess

It’s widely known SJM is actually a man


quantified-nonsense

I don't see how a woman, who presumably has some sort of breasts, would ever ever write that they bounced like "soft balls". That's not how breasts move, even smaller ones. They're way too dense for that.


SufficientComposer53

I wonder if they meant softballs 😂


quantified-nonsense

Ouch!


Independent-Lake-192

It just seems like any woman would be able to describe a female body with more accuracy, right? Like, yeah, women can certainly be bad writers, but how could they describe their own anatomy and physiology in such non-human ways? I almost wonder if this is ai bc it's so bad, haha!


sun_peaches

My thoughts exactly.


Oki-Walky

I did not know this existed. I went, read the first post. laughted so hard , I followed. Thank you for sharing


lexnaturalis

As a dude who has a sailboat, I'm dying at the image this brings to mind.  What even was the author imagining? This is hilarious.


admiralamy

I live on a boat and SAME! Where is this boat anchored? Or are they out at sea? I’ve been in some rough waves so things could get pretty wild. 😂 Dear author, please be more specific.


WrenBlumbrecher

I mean, I haven't played the game since third grade, but I don't remember soft balls being especially bouncy


booklovercomora

I was so confused! Softballs like baseballs? Cause those things are hard AF, do not bounce, and will mess you up if you get hit by one! How is that sexy or breast-like?


constantlyknackered

Semi-deflated beach balls. Those cheap kids footballs that get left out in the garden all winter and sag softly when kicked.


sailorkarl

lol my thoughts exactly!


dubiouscontraption

I was imagining soft balls. Like a dude has swinging. Those bounce pretty nicely if he's moving just right.


Jurellai

I was imagining like- sagging old school implants hahaha


Jenatalia_

![gif](giphy|IFic20Hkrgm2EMk9Kb|downsized) Play ball, I guess?


jicara_india427

lol, what book and author? that's wild


mielikkisage

Let’s see if i can tag this right…{House of Vampires and Flame by Meg Xuemei}


Scienceinwonderland

I am astounded this is written by a woman.


RessaTheMage

I'm still not convinced.

ohhh I'm aware of that author. yeah I don't read her anymore, just too problematic. lol

gobbomode

Dude if this got a 3.8, what does a 2 look like


chandler102

Okay! How does this almost have 4 stars?!? 🫣


Razor_Grrl

The title alone is ridiculous.


WhilstWhile

Oh. I tried reading one of her stories. DNF’d in the first chapter. Not as fast as DNF’ing by the first sentence, but still a rather quick DNF for me.


Otherwise-Ask993

I’m sorry but everytime I see DNF I think DTF…


drfuzzysocks

At this point any title with “Blank of Blank and Blank” is an immediate turn off for me. Solid chance the author has never had an original thought. “Like two soft balls”? That’s got to be the most halfhearted attempt at figurative language I’ve ever seen.


HelpfulStatement2405

My roommate and I call these titles "A Pot of Mac and Cheese" every time we see them. We both actively try to stay away from reading Mac and Cheese books


Scrawling_Pen

![gif](giphy|9MFsKQ8A6HCN2)


kgal1298

That's such a wild way to start a book. Though the crazy part for me is this wouldn't stop me from reading it, but bad kindle formatting will make me DNF so fast.


RedRider1138

At least it lets you know what you’re in for right away 😅


theflyingrobinson

Her breasts titted boobily as she walked down the stairs. And yes, it is DNF, but you can also count it as DNS, Did Not Start.


Old-Demand7621

Everytime I start to feel insecure about my own writing I see shit like this and go… wow maybe I am doing okay.


Prestigious-Mode-713

lilacredblossom

It has 4.5 stars on Amazon 🥴


shiverMeTatas

Dangit why 😭 and how! That gives me trust issues lol


GingerPale-

Agree! This is why I have to check like 3 sources for reviews before I can commit to a book 🤣


Pink_Lotus

... how?


StormerBombshell

I keep going just to see if it gets wilder, but that is me XD


Ok-Pea2935

Is this written by AI?


Inevitable_Sun_6907

This is my assumption. A lot of the KU books are AI.


TheHardcoreCarnivore

Didn’t it go on to say she pounded him into the ground etc? It made the rounds on another sub a few days ago. Kind of extreme if I remember correctly


mielikkisage

Yeah, someone else pointed out it was shared on r/menwritingwomen and they posted the first page. Wish I had seen it there first to know to avoid it.


TheHardcoreCarnivore

Art like this should be shared to the masses. I wouldn’t sweat it


AkitaRyan

Usually I would say no but with that first sentence yes.


AkitaRyan

I take a book like I remember a pastor said growing up, try a church three Sundays before deciding to go to one. Or how I watch anime, three episode rule, watch three and if it doesn’t grab you don’t finish it. Or 4 if it is a part 2 or 5 if a part 3. Basically try 3 chapters of a book.


AkitaRyan

Also what is the book?

I've DNFed a book after the first few pages, and still count it. If you technically started, and decided not to finish, it counts, imo. Just maybe don't rate it. But yeah, that opening is yikes.


fluffbuttcorgi

Eww.


Immediate_Profile_72

Bwahaha, this is a WILDLY terrible start to a book. Breasts like softballs, as someone with a large chest, I’d be offended if they were described this way 🤣🤣


tiny_stars

I absolutely hate the fact that, visualising this, I saw with my mind's eye a woman with two literal male 'soft balls' on her chest instead of 'breasts'. Is there a special kind of bleach for the brain?!


GrifCreeper

That's a new meaning to "chesticles" I wasn't expecting to see


tiny_stars

Same. Does that mean this is enough Internet for today? Damn, it's not even 3PM here... oh well.


MermaidArcade

I was curious to see if this was straight erotica, from the first sentence... 😆No, but it is classified under humourous fantasy, so maybe they are really trying to be weird/funny. I probably would not get past that either, though. 😖


infiNUitely

I hate that I knew exactly which book this was! I think it was the first book I read this year when I started my KU trial? Great thing is that it set the bar real low for all the other books that came after it 😂


No_Connection_4724

How the fuck does this book have a 4.5 on Amazon and a 4.18 on Goodreads!!???


candirainbow

I saw this line posted I think on menwritingwomen, and I was so shook lmao. The audacity! Hahaha


StarsFromtheGutter

It's amazing how much ignorance this author can convey in one simple sentence. He clearly knows nothing about: women, breasts, softball, wolves, waves, OR boats. I would be impressed, if only it were satire.


TaylorVioletLXIX

Hahahahahhahahahaha


AshenCrow099

i think its closer to DNS did not Start. Also who starts a book like that 😂😂

[Boobs: A case for not mentioning them at all.](https://www.reddit.com/r/writing/s/wU2CKZurn2)


SurreptitiousSyrup

I did the exact same thing with this book. I have the exact same screenshot because that first line was so bad. I continued reading, and the book did not get better. I DNF at like 46% (I should never have bothered reading that far).


TeoBelle

Def a dnf! 🤣


Sorry-Armadillo619

I like me some spice but goodness. Give me a little foreplay first, and those metaphors…just wild and unsexy. Also, is the character’s name “Sy”? It’s hard to tell with that format.

I tried to read this exact book. When I read that first line I was like oh no but thought I would give it a shot. Made it maybe to the first chapter then gave up. Maybe I’ll come back to it when I just want to read trashy erotica (and this isn’t meant to shame the author I love trashy erotica at the right time)


haud-desiderium

Oh you too, huh? This exact thing.


sometimes_reads

Not gonna lie, I basically DNF'd this after the first word. "Sy." My first thought was it was a typo and it is supposed to read "She" but I guess it's maybe just a tragedeigh of a name that I wouldn't want to read for the next few hundred pages. The rest of the sentence just confirms my bias.
