I'm talking about books that have like 10 reviews on Goodreads or storygraph (if they even show up when you search for them).

I read a lot of old scifi anthologies, a lot barely have a handful of reviews. Example, my last one. It’s edited by Asimov, and at the time he was one of the leading authors. So they’re popular, just old so not anymore?

I enjoy the pacing, I can usually end a story in my reading window as I would say on average they are around 40 pages. So a 30 minute commitment. But some do go up to over a hundred pages, some are even just a hundred words.
