Greentext stories are the most sincere form of storytelling.

I tried to write a greentext novel when I was 13/14 and had just discovered 4chan

It's just as bad as you think it is
>>
There's nothing literary about greentext stories. They're bare bones, junkfood sentences. You put in the subject and predicate, and as little else as possible into line.

Hemingway is the only academically approved author I fucking hate, art in his books is non-existent, the prose is a joke, the dialogues are bland, the characters are cardboard cutouts.
>b-but muh minimalism
just kys

t. prose fetishist

Faust is one of the greatest books ever written.
