Maybe people think I mean a flawless recollection of every event in the entire narrative but I’m willing to be pretty flexible here as to what constitutes a reasonable memory of the plot of a media

Like surely people are just not recognizing they do in fact remember the basics of what happened, even if they need something to prompt their memory

There is also something to the idea that people just read to escape their terrible reality, and it literally does not matter what it is. I once read the whole Twilight saga and I to this day cannot tell you more than 3 facts about it:

  • Girl dates a vampire
  • Something civil war
  • Werewolf falls in love with a baby
