    I often do both (where a lot of my criticism comes from) because in some way you begin to understand what makes the author tick, maybe this is why I should public my critiques, they’re very meta and materialist oriented, yet still focused on how it could be done that still has depth without abandoning the original intentions and genre

      can you give some semi popular example? i think i can usually abstract away into how did they do it if i’m bored out of mind, but maybe i have not worked the slop mines enough.
