I've been seeing this bullshit at my library. I volunteer there and reshelve books that are returned, and apparently someone out there is genuinely reading this shit because its on my cart REGULARLY. It is popular enough for there to be demand for 14+ books of DIARY OF A MINECRAFT ZOMBIE.
I'm in absolute shock and awe at this. I've been thinking about starting a youtube channel where I just talk about shit, and a few ideas have crossed my mind. Another book related video has had some staying power in my mind for a while now, and I think a deep dive into Wimpy Kid knockoffs could be a good one to establish my channel.
