A Rant.

Have you ever been thrown out of a story, not because "this character would never act like that" but because "a human would never act like that"? I'm thinking of two, recent-ish, that were otherwise fairly well-constructed stories, with plot, intrigues, nice prose, and decent dialogue, but there was something off about the worldbuilding that just didn't work.
