Recently I read “Yellowface” by R.F. Kuang and I’m part way through “Caging Skies” by Christine Leunens. Obviously in these books the characters are meant to be unlikable since they are racist/anti-Semitic and it would be problematic if they were written in a better light. So is it wrong to give the book a lower rating if you didn’t like a protagonist who was supposed to be unlikable?

    Yeah, that’s not right. Hamlet is quite a dick, it doesn’t mean that ‘Hamlet’ is a bad play 🤦🏻‍♀️
