Demo account. Literary fiction, harshly graded. Four stars means I would reread it.
Archetype
The Empath
Feeling and character predict everything. With a streak of The Prestige Hunter.
7% of Buds. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
They want to feel it. Character, interiority, a face holding something back: if the work makes they care about a person, they are all in.
Where it goes wrong: A work can move you without being good, and you will defend it anyway.
More about the Empath
- Avoids
- Detachment. Clever, cool, mechanical work reads to you as a closed door, however admired it is.
- How they rate
- Your stars are a record of how much you felt. Reviews describe what it did to you, not what it is.
- Good company
- You pair well with the Sincere and the Comfort Seeker; the Ironist finds you earnest, and you find them evasive.
- Against the crowd
- You are kinder than the crowd to small, tender work and harsher on spectacle that forgot to have a heart.
