I wonder if those people read fiction. How could you possibly read for fun if you can’t picture what’s happening? For me, a book is as good as a movie.
Funnily enough, I feel like I imagine generic things a little blurry in my mind (like, pick up the red apple and rotate it to face the bottom) when people talk about this topic, but books/fanfic is perfectly clear and expressive and everything. Like I curse my inability to draw and animate cause I can see that stuff vividly in my head. I guess I just need extra word pizazz and a love for the topic to really manipulate it into whatever I want in my mind. Weeabo curse I guess.
I loved the shows… I’ve never actually read a book after watching a show based off a book.
I know people get upset about shows (although not necessarily The Expanse) as they don’t line up well with what they visualized while reading it. I wonder how that would go the other way given something I have seen and have a sense about, but wouldn’t be able to visualize while reading.

Super descriptive books turn me off.
Less description, more things actually happening, and dialog make for a fine book.
Tolkien taking a whole chapter to describe a mountain range, not so much. I gave up on it pretty quickly before I even knew.
Tolkien is a bad example, my god that man was boring AF. Never got past a few chapters in any of his books.
The Expanse does it right. Perfect balance of character’s thoughts, scene description, all that.
