how come some writers are more bingeable than others, besides the most obvious factor of writing many things set in the same universe often with same lead characters? 🤔

By bingeable I mean if you read one thing by them, you want to read the next thing and the next thing, like episodes in a bingeable tv show. I don't mean "page turner" within a single book which I think is more tactical

Heh neither is on my list. I've only read 1 Gibson (Neuromancer), and 2 Stephenson (Cryptonomicon and Diamond Age, and that was painful) For me, Pratchett, Banks, Asimov, Douglas Adams...Christie,

think it has something to do with hearing ourself in their words? I find this happening with writers who write in the same tone I think or speak

You've found someone to keep having conversations with. Sort of like real life, page turners are more like someone who you enjoy talking to on a specific subject, but don't necessarily need their opinion on X. A good writer you want to travel alongside with

Tatsuki Fujimoto is exactly that. There's something just very uniquely cynical and psychopathic about his work, and if you like it, you need to read everything he does. Because there's no better way of even knowing what that is, other than that it's something he does.
