It's frustrating. I don't mind potato-chip books, but I'd like a bit of depth. Even YA has subplots, for crying out loud!

I've gotten to the point where I just ignore books with manga like covers. I would say that it's not so much self-publishing as self publishing where the writer hasn't learned the craft yet.
