To be honest, this fanfic isn't even that much of a tearjerker. Yes, I admit the language and flow is quite well done. I know I'm only a mere child myself, probably the young one in this fandom, but I'm pretty confident my maturity is higher than some of the fans who are older than me. Is this what the newer generation will become? Okay I'm kinda off topic again heh. So I'm saying that, this fanfic is unique and different from the usual ones. It involves many elements that a normal fanfic would have. I admit, some ideas were pretty interesting. But I can feel that the author is trying to be sentimental throughout the story, especially in those non-realistic conversations and what more, brain cancer. The brain cancer thing is just to inject angst into the readers, but its not really a good idea I would say.
As much as this fanfic appeals to be all angst and beautifully written, its actually not any (extremely) nicer than those typical fanfics. I'm saying that, the author was just busy trying to make the story feel sentimental and add in many feelings that would evoke the readers' sympathy, but a badly job done. The fandom however, influenced by the "cover" of the fanfiction, insist that it is nice. To be honest, I absolutely has no sad feelings throughout the story, nor do I feel anything that made my heart pound or make me think. I could see the brain cancer thing coming, pretty obvious and not surprising enough. I don't get how some people can cry during this fanfiction, balling your eyes out? seriously? This fandom irks me so much but I'm pretty sure there's still a small amount of fans out there that I look up to. So far I've only found two person who shared the same feelings with me for this fanfiction. undoubtedly, they were much more mature than I am. They spotted the loop holes in the story fast and straight to the point, impressive. This is a much "worsely" done as compared to Anterograde Tomorrow. I have to admit I had that heart clenching moment while reading Anterograde Tomorrow, I even had my eyes red and almost slipping a tear. It was well-written, and no dramatic, unrealistic moments in the story. That's the fanfiction that I adored so much. Unlike this one, I'm not sure what had caused the fandom to react this way, under influence and "expected" reactions I guess?
Previously I thought the fandom was pretty smart and deep enough to actually "dig" out Anterograde Tomorrow that was posted last year and shared the same heard clenching moments as I do. But now my opinion about the fandom just goes so wrong. I absolutely dislike the way the fandom is behaving. Childish and shallow. I don't know, I'm not saying that I'm a fully mature "brat" who's barely even old enough to drive or anything. I just say what I feel. I know what I'm doing, be it that I'm bragging or not, I do see even deeper things than kids my age do. Its awfully scary to have such a mindset, I'm not blessed with this brain or anything. I've gone through many trivial things that actually made me overthink, changing me into who I am today. I wish I could be a little more naive like the other kids, its a blessing.
Well thats all I really want to "rant" about today. This is definitely just my opinion, but I need my little space to voice it out within my own world.
Goodbye, holidays T.T
