>Ask /tg/ for space opera literature
>/tg/ suggests Honor Harrington
>Look it up, premise of space british empire fighting space north korea due to unavoidable economic difficulties is interesting
>Read first book, it's awful
>Decide to continue because maybe it gets better
>Give up after the main character, who's strong, beautiful, tall, a genius at everything, charismatic, loved by everyone who isn't evil and greedy or a literal rapist, respected by her enemies, ludicrously wealthy, whose grandmother tamed a species of psychic cats and who was chosen by a psychic cat herself, and whose only flaw is that she gets too angry when faced with injustice, defeats a master swordduelist with decades more experience than her in one strike while exhausted and in a dress after saving the planet of space mormons from space north korea and proving that girls are just as good as boys
>Read a synopsis of the later books
>Premise of british empire vs north korea is abandoned, they team up to fight another faction
Jesus Christ, I think I might actively hate this series. I'm not sure. Honor Harrington is just so irritatingly perfect at everything and all of the interesting things happen when she's not around.
