Hey, there's been a bunch of new users so I figured it might be a good idea to make this thread. Feel free to post your introductions, as well as any links to socials (only if you want to!) such as storygraph, goodreads, or bookwrym etc. I am hopeful to set up a bookwrym instance eventually but its still very much in early early early development.

Also be aware that there are alternative UI front ends, as seen from here. https://literature.cafe/post/315847

It’s… bad. Generically bad. The world building starts with one good idea (that was also the base from Brave New World, incidentally), but everything else is subpar: characters are one dimensional, the plot is basic, most things get solved by a deus ex machina that was totally unforshadowed, the writing is flat… it just has no redeeming quality.
