I think I’m right in assuming you mean just R didn’t have ẞrøm and not that it’s been gone entirely, right? Also, I believe we discussed this before and I agreed but after purposely reading some EB and comparing to Rs ess n¡ńe etc. ħuIkș I have to rescind my statement/opinion that they were B’s lil cousin Ěťh-hell. I believe(if we even had the same edition, and yours wasn’t a later print) that țoI or ants aside, they were just poorly written with an inconsistent word count and/or the pages weren’t printed evenly, leaving one side or the other blank while the opposite(or middle) contained all the writing. After reading some properly written articles of both editions, I know for sure the ones I had were original B. I actually prefer EB, it’s not as hard of a read but find it a more enjoyable story that doesn’t bore me to sleep and is for sure more comparable to ÄIp in every way besides pgs required to hit the plot.
B is still around en masse, but it definitely has a finite șup//lie and a large amount of home prints going around are instead CB or EB simply because people know that the ‘regular’ edition is the most desired and lie about what book they’re actually loaning out because the two anal-logs make for a much larger mar-jin. Not saying anybody here that I know of is doing this, but I see people constantly complaining that the B they thought they were getting was a relative instead. And if you know what libraries to look at as the origins, they’re honest about the pages content and the people who aren’t so honest and realize they can turn a ẞoâț that ran them ~four-five honey into separate books that will net them a kâý-two aren’t going to be upfront about it - especially those who use online libraries and run their own in person. The b—tards that don’t know about the online world and different nøvêI prints are far less likely to complain, or even know why they lost an entire month and wrecked every car at their disposal. Hard to bitch somebody out when you’re in jà¡I or the ol ‘hab.
There’s tons of new books out already about E-fIu-aI, most only 3 pages but from what I’ve gathered it’s more in line with EB, if not a tad bit higher for the full story. I could be wrong on that, but the few book reports on it I read seemed to be similar in that regard but there also wasn’t much context of how avid of a reader they were of the genre as a whole. Kinda want to read it myself, but really been looking for some original fIu and can’t seem to find it not written along with another title. Down to the last 10 of Rs and sad to see them go, I actually really enjoy reading them but have been reading them reallll slow and have never read more than half of one at a time - which tbh was too much reading every time I’ve done that but never to any negative degree. I just go out cold 1-3 hours into the story no matter what I’m doing lol, but up until then I find it a fantastic read.
Anyway, sorry for the massive post and I gotta read and reply to your DM from forever ago. Life got a bit hectic and have been thrown every curveball life had to throw and just haven’t had time to be on here like I used to and definitely haven’t had the time to be on here writing like this. But think things are finally returning to normal and hopefully I’ll be back to being able to write as many 50,000 word essays as I feel like in a day lol
