PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Our own Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity.

Yea, it's all about the themes, allegories, or other messages presented in a story that makes them phenomenal or not. I'd go further into detail but it's been a few years since my college literature courses and my memory ain't the best anymore.
