What always stands out to me in bad writing is excessive numbers of characters who exist to do nothing, and very nuts and bolts descriptions of things that leave you with absolutely no mental image of the scene. Don't know if that helps at all.
Also, I guess just bad flow. You want the words to flow nicely, like poetry, but not poetry. You don't want to feel like you're reading a technical manual.

Should it be a period piece (i.e. set in the good ol' days on a plantation in the Deep South), or a modern-day urban thriller about a buck breaker who assaults random black men in semi-public settings? Perhaps a blend of erotica and a crime thriller?

Kaczynski's a murderer? Compared to other writers I've read, barely.

I also a few American presidential autobiographies, a couple of books written by Che Guevara, one by Julius Ceasar… quite few by "God" or those claiming to be his spokesmen. Kaczynski doesn't even get top 20 in my bookshelf murder marathon.

I'm reading interviews with hideous men after stumbling across an article where some jezebel journalist suggested people should throw away their copies of infinite jest just because some woman claims dfw pushed her out of a car or something but she still fucked him after I think?
Anyway the book is ok, I'm nearly finished but I don't understand the title is like ironic or something?

I watched the cuck philosophy video on baudrillard which discusses baudrillard's thoughts on the matrix which as we all know was based on S&S, where baudrillard pans the film suggesting that 'the matrix is the kind of film that the matrix would produce' that it missed the point of his work and was a surface understanding only exploring the simulation.
What is he fucking retarded didn't he see the sequels?
That's it, that's my little joke about baudrillard. Hope you liked it.

Anyone here read these? They're novels and not actually manga. I heard it's pretty good high fantasy. Also what's the best way to get a book collection going? Do you guys ever find good cheap shit at thrift stores or something?

First and foremost, you need an audience to release your book to. There's a billion books on the market, and each one costs time and money to read. Most people will choose to invest that time and money into a book they're reasonably sure they'll enjoy. How does a reader know if he'll enjoy a book before he buys it? Maybe he stumbled upon a glowing review, maybe a friend reccommended it, if your daddy is rich maybe can get your publisher to market it really hard, but the surest way is if the reader recognizes the author as someone who's written a book he enjoyed before.

Thus, you'll have to put time into writing multiple decent books - and money into advertising them - in order to attract enough of those rare experimental readers for them to start reviewing your work and reccommending it to attract safer readers, who may in turn generate even more discussion to pull in an even wider audience. Lots of small time writers run blogs or youtube channels or mailing lists or whatever. This turns their core audience - once they attract one - into a group of people they can directly release new books to. If your new book is met with a wave of purchases, the algorithms on online book stores will proceed to give it more visibility, which in turn attracts more readers.

TL;DR you need connections with your consumers, and those connections will take years of time, effort, and money to build up even if your writing is good.
