    When you are reading something good, you are usually very immersed in the story. While reading it, you do not think about the reason(s) why you like it (I assume).

    But when reading something with a lot of problems or just bad storytelling, that is not the case. You are constantly reminded that you are reading something you do not enjoy.

    I think that is the reason why we can say a lot about books we don’t like. And not a lot about books we do enjoy.

    I don’t think you have an issue. It is pretty normal.

    I just try to be as kind as possible when giving reviews. Even though some books are frustrating to read. Because I don’t want to discourage new authors from following their dreams.
