    Unfortunately for all the people reading this, I am 100% sure the video was actually talking about published novels, rather than the garbage that is posted on NU. Every novel here has glaring loopholes that destroy the story, illogical characters and are only good for wasting time. Reading web novels/translated novels is no different than watching reality television, you are doing nothing but filling your brain with garbage. Hell, watching reality television is actually better because after watching it you can socialize face-to-face with other people and talk about it.

    Whilst this may be true for most novels there are the rare exception and there are published novels that have made my eyes bleed. Stop generalizing

    That hit a little too close to home, but on the flip side it is possible to find decently done novels.

    9: If you haven't been getting enough sleep, your brain has suffered for it (neglects to say anything about sleeping more repairing the harm done, so presumably you're just fucked) - doesn't "improve brain power."
    8: Chronic stress wrecks your brain. (neglects to say anything about relaxing more repairing the harm done, so presumably you're just fucked) - doesn't "improve brain power."
    7: Love and Hate are similar. Cool trivia. DOESN'T IMPROVE BRAIN POWER.
    6: Stay hydrated - Finally something you can actively do to "improve brain power."
    5: Pregnancy makes you an idiot. DOESN'T HELP IMPROVE BRAIN POWER
    4: Sugar bad, but can be offset with other food. GOOD. THIS MAKES TWO USEFUL PIECES OF INFORMATION.
    3: You like like your mom, but it DOESN'T HELP IMPROVE BRAIN POWER.
    2: Art will keep your brain young. Wow, cool, okay, so.. that's three.
    1: Reading trains the brain. FOUR.

    So maybe the video should be "Four Proofs You can Increase Your Brain Power [In a Week]"

    Or maybe just "Four Ways" instead of, "Proofs," since the "Proofs" seem to be remarkably absent?

    Maybe five, if the idea of #5 is "Don't get pregnant, it makes you dumber."


    Stupid as fuck video, but really brilliant narrator.

    Also got baited bc I thought this was about proofreading lol
    I feel like the reading part had to do with reading actual physical books, but I could be wrong.
    My biggest problem with this video is that it does not provide direct sources for their claims. While a lot of their claims sound like they could be true, I can't fully believe them without real sources. Additionally, the sources would allow people who were actually interested in their claims to read more in-depth about it. Tbh, people can spout out lies and make them sound credible by tagging on some high-profile university or college.
    Also, this video felt like a BuzzFeed video tbh :x
