Gee Thats a *s p i c y* Truth ;)
I was 13 when I started writing fan fiction. Mine was... not good. At least it’s hilarious to look back on. I was convinced that I was writing masterpieces and would get mad if anybody complained about them. I wish I had kept them, but I was so embarrassed that I deleted them. LOL

I personally DON’T think about every single detail of my appearance while sitting in a car, but I did once stare at my reflection so long that I forgot it was MY REFLECTION and thought I had pretty eyes.
Lol
That’s heartwarming.
Sometimes I like to look in the mirror for a brief moment and look at my irises. Turns out, they only look brown.
😂😂 I got a thing for mirrors, not my reflection, but mirrors in general. Whenever my teacher tries to teach me at home, (tuition) I'd always end up looking at myself in the mirror and smiling. As if the mirror is my date on a summer's evening xD

LegalAssassin that’s wasn’t the problem. The problem was that she made the character seem flawless or at least the character herself describes her that way. It’s great to have female characters who show confidence in her beauty but in a HEALTHY way, this comes off as kinda much and it’s clear it’s not even intentional for social commentary.

true self love is bulk buying enough copies of your book so you get on the New York Times Bestseller list
It's funny because the author wrote herself as the main character because she wanted to be the star. But the last third of the book has her in a COMA. That's her dream role... to be unconscious during the climax.
Honestly iconic, in a bad way but iconic
Honestly think she's some spoiled immature rich girl that used daddy's money to publish a book and buy a lot of them so she was number one.
I just wonder how much cash she spent on those books :o
Close. Her cousin is JC from Nsync. She used to manage the band, Blues Traveler, and now she's using the power of the actor from American Pie to peddle her books upon people.

Conspiracy theory; the person you bought the second hand book from is the author cause she has so many copies. Then, she doesn’t send it for ages so that you just buy a new copy. She gets more money and gets rid of more books. It’s all a win for her.

Or get advice from MANY adults, see if they can understand the message and morals, and then make sure you get actually good editing.

TELL ME WHY
The idea of the self-insert fanfiction I wrote when I was 13 being published and being put on the new york times best seller list sounds like my nightmare, but this person wanted that, she wanted people to read this so badly that she cheated to get MORE VISIBILITY for her self-indulgent fluff.
This isn't fair. Your fanfiction is probably much better and nuanced.
Your fanfiction at 10 was better than this story.
And is it just me, or does this sound like the different cringy plot points, and every book troupe lashed into a first graders diary?
I used to look back on the stuff I used to write and just cringe myself into oblivion. But this book makes my early writing sound like goddamn Shakespeare!
My Immortal walked so Handbook for Mortals could run
I found a review and it said:
"To give you context, it's less harmful than Fifty Shades, but probably worse in terms of writing. I hated Bella more than Zade, but this has even less plot than Twilight, if you can imagine."
Thanks, uh, Mari,
That actually makes sense. It’s bad, but not in a special way. Twilight and Fifty Shades were interesting in some respects, or had some type of cultural impact (as bad as they were, Twilight was a massive influence on YA fiction, and Fifty Shades introduced a bunch of people to BDSM for better or for worse). HFM is so simple and boring that it makes you feel nothing.

@@thegalaxydonutshow She wouldn't have had any input. Even if she did, they probably would've been like "Either it says for 23 hours or you're not getting the sticker."
It's probably just automatic, like on actual good books theyll show "for 3 weeks" or something
this book is literally a wattpad fanfic written by a 12 year old who thought she was amazing at writing and decided to self publish when she stumbled upon a decent enough photo to use for the cover

"it's weird to have the main character talk to you as if they're the author I've never seen that in a book before"
*Laughs in Percy Jackson*
Lolita.
The fun thing though, is that it works in Percy Jackson. He doesn't describe himself, or talk about how he's "different from others", he just goes right to the story, and describes that through narrative later.
I thought this was someone trolling or a fan fiction written by a super basic teen with no talent that got her rich daddy to pay for some modicum of "success", only to found out it's a 35 year old woman, with ties to some minor celebrity, who wrote this book as her own wish fulfillment fantasy and in the hopes of seriously making it into a movie where she can finally become the actress she was meant to be 🤦🏻♀️(oh after being rejected for roles throughout her entire life)
I can't believe people even signed on to this project.
E L Wait, Amber Heard wrote a book? 😏
What kills me is that the author was 35 -- *35!* -- when she wrote this garbage. It reads like barely-literate teen's fanfic, and yet the author is deluded enough to think it was worth publishing. What baffles me is that obviously others had a hand in this, and yet somehow none of them stopped and thought, "This book is utter garbage, and there's no way this scam will work."
I guess it's because all of them thought if FSG could do it, so could they. Or perhaps they thought YA readers were too fucking dumb. Or maybe they only thought far enough ahead, hoping the #1 spot will garner enough interest to get the ball rolling and once people realized what happened, it was too late to stop it.
@@agilroy2226 Except, to its credit, FSG had a major following when it was fan fiction. So it wasn't a stretch for it to get a large audience when ELJ swapped the names around.
It's still not good, but there was a market for it.
oh, you're absolutely right. FSG was right there at the height of Twilight fame, so it was easy for them to transition over from fanfic to publishing and have the fans follow. But unlike FSG, Sarem isn't taking advantage of a current trend, and I don't think she realizes that. Right now the YA audience is sick to death of love triangles and dick-ish male love interests. Even if she had sent out the book properly, it still wouldn't have gotten popular because HFM relies too much on basic tropes and there's nothing in it that makes it stand out from all the other YA novels that are still trying to ride the diminishing Twilight hype. Hell, nowadays if you try to advertise your book "like FSG" people will NOT buy it.

That is not a good sign
My Immortal is a cult classic with memorable characters and a distinct writing style. This is just a poorly written self-insert with no memorable characters.
What's sad is that the title "Handbook for Mortals" is really good! It sounds like a comprehensive guide for normal humans on how to deal with vampires, or Greek gods. And the cover-art is beautiful, but it was, of course, stolen.
(In case anyone doesn't know, Scheherazade really is the name of the princess in the frame story of 1001 Nights. But instead of making that an obscure and esoteric reference for people who love folklore, she just... you know... puts it in there.)
My friend is trying to right a handbook for mortals, but instead it's a story of how to kill anceint monsters.

This was FOR SURE originally a Superman fanfiction. Probably the reason for the weird magical sub plot was because she was originally a superhero but the author changed it at the last minute before publishing to hide the fact that it was a fanfiction.
Blahkabelison nah, this was a self-insert twilight fanfiction. The second leg of the love triangle, Jackson, is based off of Jackson Rathborn who played Jasper in Twilight, and was in the band 100 Monkeys, a band Lani managed. Rathborn has publicly denounced Lani. It's extra creepy to know when Lani was writing this story, Rathborn was getting ready to expect his first child. Lani most likely has met Rathborn's pregnant wife, and she still wrote a fanfic where he falls in love with her.

The only reason you should name a character Clark Kent is if you're writing a story about Superman, or if it's an alias used for comedic effect. Like "Calvin Klein" in Back to the Future.

"Using lotion magic to pitch a tent" sounds a hundred times more sexually charged and generally interesting than anything that actually happens in canon.
1. Some Pagans spell magic with a k to differentiate ceremonial magick (rituals) from magic shows.
2. How is her name pronounced Zade like "aaaaay" if it's a nickname for Scheherezade which is pronounced with an "aaaaah"?
3. My junior high self-insert fanfic at least had an actual plot, and real stakes.
2. KNEEL BEFORE ZADE
Self inserts aren’t always bad, as long as you incorporate your flaws along with the positive traits. Write yourself as a character with your own experiences in this new setting. It can be a learning experience too. (Sorry for being a nerd)
I wonder if the author doesn't know how to pronounce Scheherazade. It wouldn't surprise me.
Umm excuse me... zade is ~special~, she pronounces it "Sha-hair-a-zaid" 😂😂😂😂😂
If you look up the author's bio, she says she's been managing famous bands for years, like Plain White T's, she started screenwriting at age 11, started acting at age 3, and her debut novel (this one) is being made into a feature film AS WELL as her other books that haven't been written yet...like god damn
Why do I find that unbelievable?
@@crowdemon_archives Because she writes like she just learned about the english language

Oh. My Gosh. So, no joke, I saw your thumbnail and recognized the cover. The author of the book had a booth set up at a Renaissance fair in Vegas that I was attending. I was curious about the book but was immediately turned off when I read her advertising poster which said, "If you like Twilight and Harry Potter, you'll love this book!" Seems like I dodged a bullet. I just think it's a hilarious coincidence.
I think she's at ren fairs a lot.
She actually compared this drivel to Harry Potter? Wow. People who like 50 Shades of Grey wouldn’t even like this book.

I’d say this book is a bit better than Onision’s because, while both are self insert fantasies by narcissistic authors, at least this author puts more emphasis on the story over the self congratulation (not much, mind you, but enough that I find it a more tolerable story than anything Onision writes). Onision’s books are literally NOTHING but a self insert fantasy, while “Handbook for Mortals” at least, tries to tell a story (a terrible, rushed and characterless story, but a story nonetheless.)

This makes me feel better about my rough drafts and small notes about books I haven't even begun to write.
It makes me afraid because I used to talk to my audience too in my narration 😞 🤭
@@cheeseandtoast6338 I'm sure it's fine.
You know, there was a time I thought I physically wasn’t smart enough to write about some of the concepts I wanted to explore. Hearing this book review just proved me otherwise, thank you Caleb for reminding me that I do, in fact, have more than 2 brain cells.
(for 23 hours) needs to become a meme
Sheherezade is a real name, it’s Arabic, the narrator of 1001 nights is named that
Thank you! I've been searching through the comments hoping someone would point this out!
lol was just about to comment this! Also, I'm pissed off because Sheherezade is such an amazing character and now her name is literally being dragged through the mud in this piece of shit.
wait whats 1001 nights? i think ive seen i on wattpad
@@babybat909 it's a old arabic series of stories. It's not from wattpad.
@@crazyweirdgirl115 The original fantasy book
This feels like face timing your BFF and they rant about the book
I own this book 👁👄👁
Some lady was selling it at a festival I was at and stopped my parents and me to ask if we wanted a copy. I, who was not very familiar with booktube and other literature-centered spaces at the time, didn't know about the controversy, so I listened to the offer. The whole time I got this uneasy feeling, like something was very, very wrong, but I bought the book anyway. The lady selling it asked me if she could take a photo with me and post it to her Instagram. We luckily said no.
The book is currently sitting underneath some clothes in one of my drawers. I haven't touched it.
Dude... I think you may have met the literal author, apparently till this day she's _still_ going around selling it at events and stuff!
@@thatoneidiot2223 Omg I think I did! That just makes this even stranger of an experience.
I feel like the only people who truly believe Twilight is the worst book of all time aren’t avid readers. There are MUCH worse titles out there
Twilight is one of the funniest books I've ever read, so it can't be the worst book of all time. Cringey comedy gold.
Like honestly, as many faults as I can give Twilight, it's still less cringey and easier to read than Ready Player One >.>
Agreed- I think a lot of people hate it just for the sake of hating it
@@csmith2005 both Twilight and Ready player one are actually pretty good. They are not the best books in the world but I don't know why everyone hates on either of them.
That's cool. People can have different opinions. I don't think either are good personally. Here are my reasons:
For me, the dialogue in Ready Player One is so cringey. That made it hard for me to read. There are a few other things I found really problematic. In my opinion, the book coasts by on pure nostalgic references. Just pure nerd *boy* nostalgia porn. It even had me a little enchanted at first but then I started reading between the references and realized that it wasn't great. No meaningful world building outside the internet. Other than Wade, no character development. Artemis is a Mary Sue with a birth mark slapped on for good measure. Etc.
Twilight is kind of just gross because of how literally creepy and abusive Edward is throughout the series, how Bella literally can't survive without him, and then how possessive and weird both Edward and Jacob are and get during the whole series. Idk. Just gross.
Tl;dr -there are valid reasons why people don't like them. But we all like different stuff so it's cool if you're into them.
The king is back with a sixteen course meal for us poor people 😭😭

"does anyone actually meet someone for the first time and suddenly picture what their relationship would be like"

*Other people don't do that.....?*
the kitchen signs are the best thing about this whole damn video: “no coffee, no workee”
The book cover is plagiarized artwork too lol
Lady Jellyfish from what artist? :0
@@iamevilyss Its The Knife Thrower by Gill Del-Mace
of course it is.
And the author looks like the girl on the cover- blonde and dyed tips
@@idbbb i just looked both up and the girl looks EXACTLY lile the author
oh it's def self inserted fanfiction, the way she describes her hair is exactly the same hair style/colors she who shall not be named has.
Wait who...? Tell us lol
Zhana Johnson Lani Sarem.
Wait, Voldermort has hair?!
It's 'cause she has already cast herself to play the character in the movie version
Just like Stephanie Meyer and the whole “I’m not like other girls, I look up when it’s raining” lol
I’ll be having a bad day but then I remember “And they lived happily ever after… OR DO THEY?” and I’m instantly cheered up
As a wise man on amazon reviews once said "This book is proof of the infinite mercy of God, because anything less would have it incinerated."

this is just frustrating. It def gives me that courage to actually write
@Tomie Ahmanet absolutely.
Hell ya! Positivity!
Yeah I'm feeling a lot better about my 400-page Batman-universe fic which I am painstakingly writing in 2019. Feeling a lot better in a lot of ways.
"ths book didn't really have a direction" don't you mean it had... 5 Directions?
