Hey guys, I wrote a review of la bas.

Two stars means 'I liked it'.

>>8627013
Goodreads screencap on /lit/ means "I didn't write it".

>>8627019
I know.

Two stars actually mean 'it was okay', three is 'liked it', four is 'really liked it' and five is 'it was amazing'.

Only the one star option is a cowardly 'did not like it'.

Four degrees of praise and only one of disapproval. Truly plebeian and inoffensive, normalism to the core.

No, you guy don't get rating systems. Ratings are arbitrary, and you have to save room for the really super fucking bad rating for something that was so horribly offensive that it's actually shocking. Like the new cory feldman album. This wasn't like, shockingly bad. I know a lot about rating stuff, so take my advice, that rating system of 2 being "I liked it" is fucking stupid. 1 is shockingly bad, 2 is it sucked, 3 is it was average and not really here nor there, 4 is it was pretty damn good, 5 is it's a classic and one of my favorites.

and when you think about it, 2 stars is about a 3 out of 10.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 3 6 9 10

2/5 is about 3/10, so even on a regular rating scale that means it pretty much sucks.

meant to make that 9 an 8.

You don't understand the Goodreaders rating system.

Those descriptions I gave are the official ones. You can play around in your private language world but everyone else will see your two star rating and think you liked it.

>>8627095
I don't care.

>>8627053
2/5 is not about 3/10, it's exactly 4/10...

>>8627108
huh, I guess that does make more sense. Alright, I'll bump it down to 1 star.

2 4 6 8 10

yeah that's a lot more squared off than what I said.

you know what, no. fuck you. I'm putting it back to a 2 stars. fuck your rules.
