I already mentioned that I planned to make a rant on most Shipping opinion books, so here I am in the flesh

Personally, I tend to dislike them, and I'm about to tell you why.


Every since coming to the sonic fandom here in wattpad, I've always been looking for ship opinion books, and if you follow me, you know that I comment on those kind of stuff alot. Its what I like to read.

Although most of them seems to short and repetitive. Let me remind you that you are writing an OPINION BOOK!

First of, my problem with them is how they rarely give out a satisfying opinion to a pairing. But notMH, a viewer like you might say, they do give their opinion! They tell us whether they like it or not!

That's my point. Almost all opinion books are literally nothing but telling us whether they like it or not. Technically that's an opinion I guess, but the point of an opinion book is to express your reasons to why you think a pairing is good or bad.

One of the Sonic ship opinion books that I've read is literally nothing but ratings and, whether she likes it or not. Barely any context to why she thinks its good or why she hates it, and I dont like that.

I don't come to your book to find out if you like my OTPs or not, I wanna read what you think of them!

Just saying "OMG YES I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHIT I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK BUT SONADOW IS MY OTP THEY SHOULD JUST FUCK ALREADY" is not a satisfying opinion. We don't care if you "dont" care what we think of it, but we will give our opinions anyway because you lack any arguments regarding that specific couple, making it so easy to prove that fact that "sonadow isnt the greatest thing ever" wrong. 

Sometimes that only reason I do stilll read their books is just literally I can see of what they think about the popular ships, and after that I leave immediate, because they end up boring me to sleep with their quick opinions.


Speaking of opinions books, SHIP RATINGS! Y'know, that thing that goes  " 10/10 "?

Its honestly really dumb and stupid, if you dont even talk about that ship you're supposed to give your opinion about, and you give them ridiculous ratings.

Say for example, someone says "Oh Sonadow is so perfect they are both so hawt and purrrfect for each other omg I nose-bleed everytime lol" and give them a rating of 1,000,000,000/10

IT IS SO ANNOYING! Wow just because you love it doesn't mean it should have a perfect score! Much less something that high. Come on man no ship is that amazing. 10/10 is fine to prove your point but holy f*ck calm down!

I especially hate it when ratings only vary into four groups: 10/10, 2/10, 0/10, 10000000000/10

Its just that sometimes, no matter how good a ship is, they are either get a perfect score or none at all. It makes no sense when you rate a ship that low. You say in your opinion that you think its pretty cute and great yet you give it a 2/10, WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO FOOL HERE?!


I know this rant sounds stupid, but it is an irritating problem. Some opinions don't go out of their way to contribute something to our knowledge and opinion of a ship, and they even go as far as to lie about what they think of a ship just so they wont get bashed, yet rate them so low because they personally dislike it. 

Its so irritating and confusing that I just had to point this one out
