also absolutely do not ever read the wizard knight please learn from my mistake. there's literally thousands of better-written self-insert fanfics you can read online if you really want to, and most of them don't glorify abusive behaviour
this pretty much delineates the three categories:
• bad books i'm glad i read, it's because i learned from them
• bad books i regret reading, it's because something about them is actively stressful—disturbing (or actively triggering) content or exceptionally poor basic writing skill, for me
• bad books i don't care about are mostly just not compelling. nothing especially hateful beyond a lack of especially positive qualities
david copperfield, for example, is an incredibly dull read (imo). but it doesn't actively bother me having read it, and sometimes knowing how it goes comes in handy. so overall i don't care about it but i'm situationally glad i read it
the wizard knight, by contrast, combined poor writing quality with stuff i found highly disturbing in a way that means i can't entirely get it out of my head. literally just the knowledge that i read it is stressful. i regret having read this book

....i forgot things had genders again. actually got thrown out of my immersion when i got a gendered title thrown at me. c'mon just use mx, or like. any professional title. please
to be clear this is a character who was explicitly gendered already and i was aware of it i just don't process gender good and it confus me too much
