[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9019556, member: 7034611"] not to me, a book I enjoy reading is better than one that bores me If your metric arrives at them both being equal, then it is a metric that is useless for my decision making Not sure it is wrong, we all do that, just look at reviews of pretty much anything. It is not objective and people can disagree, so something one reviewer gives 5 stars might still be something you do not like. This is why these reviews only become relevant in the aggregate, or helpful if you can identify who has similar tastes (or differing ones and what made one reviewer not like it is something you enjoy, or vice versa) By technical metrics, books, movies, etc. are much too similar, you need to consider the content if you want to know whether it would be something you like. Otherwise the difference between the same book as hardcover vs softcover is bigger than the difference between a story you like and one that bores you in the same format - and for me that is much more relevant than HC vs SC All things being equal, this should also be reflected here. Different people like different things, so each adventure should have people that like it and people that do not, and the ratio should stay roughly the same. If this is not the case then the content of some adventures is better than that of others (because we agree that the packaging barely changed). Yet there is consensus that CoS is better than SKT (ie significantly more like the former, not everyone vs no one). If there were similar consensus that e.g. Tasha’s was a turning point, then that would be important information too. The only thing that is preventing it is that there are too few people here, not that the approach is wrong [/QUOTE]
