I don't usually read authors who are still alive but I did read Bando Sando's Midborn a few years ago and the plot was basically the hunger games. Creative magic system sure but the plot was pretty basic.

>I don't usually read authors who are still alive
and wtf not??
I figure if a book was written 80 years ago and people still talk about it it's got to really have something to it. While a book written 2 years ago hasn't had the chance to stand the test of time like that.
Something could become popular in the moment because a well known author published it, it's well advertised, or any number of reasons that don't reflect actual quality. If you were to pick 2 books at random, one that's well known and was published 5 years ago, and one that's well known and was published in 1875, chances are the older book is going to be more interesting.
Second, books written in a certain time or place reflect their context. Reading books from time periods outside your own broadens the perspective.

None woman ever acted that way towards me. Also, does women really think like that or it's just some troony dream of how female think?
I'm a woman and I think like this.
You're a man and you don't think like that
Next time try not being an ugly incel.
Biologically?
>None woman ever acted that way towards me.
wow really?
my girlfriend somehow found out I like banana bread and made it for me.
did you tell her you liked banana bread?
It does seem quite unrealistic.
Just get a girl to love you and find out.
How hard could it possibly be?
Post plot outlines, please.
