I was reading Tobold through RSS:
They observed that many players in a MMORPG go through the same stages in the same order: Entry, Practice, Mastery, Burnout, Recovery.
You know I just talk of fantasy books these days. Well, I’ve noticed that also fantasy books readers go through the same stages in the same order: Prologue, Chapter 1 … Epilogue.
Amazing, ain’t it?
Some also get bored before the end and don’t finish it. Some may try again a few years later.
