I'm sorry but I liked Dagon's Mirror.

I know, I know:

You didn't care for it, it wasn't scary, you don't like ocean horror, you don't like Lovecraftian writing styles, you like more realistic stories, there wasn't any gore, you wanted more body horror, it was too slow etc.

It's almost as if Hunter and Isaiah let you know exactly what Lovecraftian writing is beforehand: a sense of dread instead of relying on traditional shocks and gore.

The amount of time it takes to adopt the diction necessary for the descriptions within stories like Dagon's Mirror is undeserving of pointless critiques that don't apply to the subgenre of horror it lies in.

The fact that we've had multiple posts dissing the story for no point other than to say they didn't like it, is weird.

Your opinions would be valid but every single one of them isn't a critique of the writing, they aren't even critiques of a subgenre that both of the hosts really like. It's just you saying that you don't like the subgenre.

Everything this story intends to do, it does well.

EDIT: I want to be clear for those who are upset/those who think this is upvote bait. The reasoning for posting this is due to multiple posts that were negative of the story while giving minimal shallow reasons. For those who posted long thought out criticism, that's okay, I don't deny your reasons but would rather redirect you to criticize every other story they've posted to the same standards that you criticized this one lol.

If you watch a YouTube video showing you how to bake chocolate chip cookies, you don't close YouTube, go to their subreddit and say, "I don't like the chocolate chip cookies video because it has chocolate in it and I don't like chocolate."

Hopefully you'd have some issues with the recipe instead of the chocolate chip cookie itself.
