-All Tapas readers in existence-
Feeling stuck and bored? Want a quick and cheap entertainment? Or are you an aspiring writer who needs confidence boost and an example of what not to do? Worry not, we have an ideal novel for you! A nobody "author" Kainatarma presents her "magnum opus" Karana, which now you can read on Tapas.
The novel is written as if the author was a five years old with English as their sixth language. The dictions are choppy and emotionless, the grammar correctness is practically nonexistent. There is also a rumor of two macaques in Australia being paid to ghostwrite the dialogue. In short, this novel is a big middle finger on how to write a prose you learnt in the elementary school. It is not atrocious enough like My Immortal to be hilarious, the novel is disappointingly boring at best.
If you can excuse the sluggish pacing, there is almost a little to none bits of storytelling mushed inside a whole fucking filler which is the 85% of the novel. The novel claims to be a low-fantasy which is true for the low and untrue about the fantasy, except when the fantasy is what the author was thinking on how original the concept and premise is. The mystery elements are predictable and shallow, while the (supposedly) dramatic parts of the story sounds like it was not written by a human (duh!).
The story is about a cardboard unlikeable main character Kôra (good luck pronouncing that), who was orphaned prior to the story because of an earthquake (how original!). Moving to the city with his mean uncle (unlike all cliché ever!), one day Kôra came across his strange reflection in the mirror. That reflection said that they are both dead, and Kôra's days were not the same since. Kôra then tried to figure out what was actually wrong with him, and who is he (probably a secret royalty or something, boring!).
