What's up with my habits lately?

Me: "I'd really like some or comfort food. Nothing complex; maybe something cozy or slice of life, or a power fantasy where the good guys always win. I'd love that."

Me, a few hours later: "Hey! This was just a predictable power fantasy where the good guys always win! It was overly simple slice of life, and the conflict was low stakes. I hated that!"

It's gotten to the point where I haven't rated the last few I've read, because "2 stars: was exactly what I asked for!" just seems like an unfair review.

Anyway, authors: please figure out what I actually want to read and write that, then advertise it to me as what I think I want to read. Because book marketing isn't hard enough for you, right? Thanks!

- it's good, I hated it
- it's bad, I liked it

@fastfinge If you want something that is light-hearted, doesn't take itself so seriously, full of pop culture references, and yet is science fiction, one series I just read is "Galactic Detective Agency" by Gary Blaine Randolph. I have no idea if it's available anywhere but Kindle, but so far there are nine books. Regular guy with a computer programming job suddenly gets pulled into a…well…galactic detective agency to solve various mysteries.
