Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“Honestly speaking, nobody reads past chapter three. We know this. The data is devastating. But we still publish 400-page debut novels because admitting that people want 200 pages would mean admitting we've been wrong for decades. Also, thicker books photograph better for Instagram.”
