I had to search it to understand the post. Well, that's a weird name to describe a normal book for children.

I had a coworker approach me on break and start telling me about a book he was reading and how much he was enjoying it. Towards the end, he mentioned struggling with it and that he wished someone had told him how great reading was earlier. We were both damn near 30, and it was a YA novel. I resisted the asshole urge to roast him because, shit, at least he's trying?

Not only is he trying, he laments not learning better when he was younger. Great self-awareness, and taking ownership today.

And I think it's wrong that people expect me to!

He is an obese man in the gym. Literally nothing more admirable than someone improving themselves.

Very true. Hopefully, he still enjoys reading today.

I had a friend tell me that she didn't learn to read until she was like eight. Ya never really know where people come from. All of our lives are so different.

Ok they were dicky about it, but y'all need to consider the possibilities. Maybe they have undiagnosed dyslexia. Maybe they grew up in poverty and a terrible home life and never had the opportunity to become a reader for pleasure. Maybe lots of possibilities

wtf is a "chapter book"?

wtf is a "chapter book"?
It's a book with chapters. Basically a regular ass book. When kids are real little, their books are like 15 pages long. Then in like 1st or 2nd grade, they move onto reading big kid books - aka "chapter books" that have enough pages to warrant chapters.
You never hear someone over the age of 7 or 8 mention reading "chapter books" because they're just know as books.
Except anon, who is dumb as fuck.

I think the problem is not preferring manga/comics over regular books, but rather that anon implies, with the whole "not being willing to make a manga or at least a graphic novel", that normal books are lazy inplementations of literature, which is such a dumb and inconcievable POV that we are justifiebly ridiculing them.

I assume it's similar how I can't get in to manga, but I can enjoy a novel or animated stuff. Just can't seem to enjoy those black and white squares with questionable art in them. Just doesn't speak to me.

Struggling how though?
If they were struggling with the vocabulary, then that might be roastable.
But if they meant, e.g., struggling with the themes, that might be understandable. YA books sometimes tackle difficult subjects or are subtle, layered, etc.

I read YA as Yaoi and I'm like "or course it's reasonable to roast him for telling a coworker about the Yaoi he's reading"

When I was in the US Air Force, I was deployed to a US Marine camp once, and listening to those guys chat among themselves was always a treat. You never knew what dumbass comments were going to come out of their mouths.
One day, one of the young corporals mentioned that, while traveling to another base, he got stuck waiting for a connecting flight between bases for about a week and he was so bored, he read A BOOK. He stressed the fact that he's never read an entire book from cover to cover before, but he did on this layover because he was so extremely bored.
To my surprise, the other Marines just nodded along, like this made perfect sense to them. Not a single person harassed him for never reading a book before (and they harass each other all the time for the simplest things).
I mean, we poke fun at Marines for being dumb. They call themselves jarheads, which is an allusion to the fact that their heads are as empty as a jar. But it still blows my mind to hear the dumb things they say sometimes.
