I really really like the type of Sci-Fi &#x2F; Adventure Story where the protagonist engineers and builds their own world from scratch (or almost) - see My Side of the Mountain [1], The Game [2], [Conrad Stargard series][3], Swiss Family Robinson, Robinson Crusoe, etc, etc .<p>So I really liked the first book in the Safehold Series [4] and I put up with the atrocious names (Zhasphar Clyntyn?!?!?) and the insipid, trite and self-congratulatory characters, and even the lead mallet subtlety of religion.<p>But by God, the series has just worn me out. I was almost screaming at the last book.<p>So I guess the shibboleth is the use of Zh in place of J.<p>Another shibboleth: lack of space suits in Star Trek - so many issue solved just by wearing space or encounter suits.<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;My_Side_of_the_Mountain" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;My_Side_of_the_Mountain</a> (pre-teen)<p>[2]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Invitation_to_the_Game" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Invitation_to_the_Game</a> (young adult)<p>[3]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Conrad_Stargard" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Conrad_Stargard</a> (polish)<p>[4]Not linking to this tripe.
