NaNoWriMo usually offer very few high-quality content, but in the past year or so it seems to me it is at the same time better, and way worse.
The fact that GenAI content is grammatically perfect and produce stylisticly coherent paragraphs/chapters is good for my eyes and brain.
The issue is that giving a new author a chance pushes me to read at least 3 thousand words or so if the grammar and styles are Ok-ish to great. And Ai-generated story are so boring, and there's so many, I really couldn't find anything good this year. No new authors worth the boredom. I've opened steam for the first time in years, and now I play RPGs instead of reading. I still have naive storylines and shit character development, but at least I get to roll dices.
I also think it helps new authors too much, and they don't develop their own style. That's the worst IMHO.
