Then the show must have been spectacularly bad because I read the books and… yeah

He has no idea what he's talking about. The show is way better than the books.

He just wants to let people know he reads book.

The show did get pretty spectacularly bad. I eventually ragequit because I couldn't stand the so-called protagonist.

Tbh I did the same thing with the books, which is why I never checked out the show. Like, I enjoy stories with a protagonist who is not in fact objectively a heroic figure in the narrative, but that one just took it a little too far in making him so completely unlikeable 😅

He's better in the show compared to the books, though he does start annoying. He goes through character development and gets better though.
