Not everything has to be a good damn fight scene. Look at Jessica Jones.

Jessica Jones had several large fights, though. The only difference was it wasn't against the villain himself, always somebody he controlled including the epic showdown with Luke Cage. That's also overlooking that she fought the juiced-up Nuke/Will Simpson.

I just finished The Three-Body Problem and it's... frustrating is the right word.
It's a really interesting world full of great ideas and the science is spot on, and everything else is just so boring.

I'm not 100% sure how it got a Hugo Award.

The Hugo has become increasingly politicized so... there's that.

I've got the added problem of being a speed-reader, though. When you can go through a single book in a couple days and burn your way through a new author's entire body of work shortly after you discover them, it means it gets harder and harder to find authors whose work you enjoy enough to seek out their stuff. And it doesn't seem like there are a ton of good writers coming up to replace the older ones who've died or to provide an alternative to the writers whose works I've already read in their entirety.

I can't speed-read any more. I wind up fixating on certain things to try to get more of the impact. Part of it is an OCD thing, I'm sure; I've actually noticed I've been having more trouble with OCD since starting to read more again.
