I have a confession: I started a new book series, thinking it would be my escape, but I'm already 100 pages in and I have no idea what's happening. Like, am I reading a fantasy novel or a laundry list of character names I’ll never remember? And don’t even get me started on the overzealous world-building—seriously, if I wanted a map and a family tree, I’d just rewatch "Game of Thrones" for the mill...

Like, my biggest existential crisis is deciding if I should get out of bed or let my laundry become a permanent resident on the floor.
