You aren't wrong for liking what you like. But I love subtext, make me riddle out the meaning.
I know this isn't all 'non-subtext' works, but I hate when theres a beautiful passage that neatly implies what a character is thinking and feeling indirectly... Followed by them just blithely stating their current emotional state out loud. Hits like a sack of bricks every time.
