Hello - my previous edit adding a connection between these two books/authors was removed. I'm not advertising or being promotional of anything. I haven't read either book, though I've read articles about them; I've just heard about both and thought it was interesting that two novels with such similar concepts (semi-autobiographical story about a girl who is sexually abused by her teacher; in both stories the teacher also teaches literature iirc) were published in two very different places (the US and Taiwan). Furthermore, they were both debut novels and are the most significant works both authors are known for. I left this message in my talk page as a reply but discussion can be had here as well.
Edit: I would have added the connection on the page for My Dark Vanessa if it existed, but it just redirects to this page.
In my opinion, just because they have similarities doesn't mean they should be linked to each other's pages. Usually, See Also sections are used for linking to strictly related topics on the subject that aren't mentioned or linked in the article. I don't really see a strong relation between the two that should lead to that conntection. Realtent (talk) 02:51, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I see. I was going off the advice on the "See also" page, which says that "one purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics; however, articles linked should be related to the topic of the article or be in the same defining category."
I was mainly looking at the "tangentially related topics" part of that guide. I feel that having the same topic is tangentially related enough. (Also, I think the similarity is interesting.) Is there a reason why it wouldn't be or is it just Wikipedia standards? If a reliable source was found that referenced both books having a similar topic, would that be grounds for adding it in? I haven't actually found such a source, so I'm just wondering. Thanks for your help! ~2026-27260-90 (talk) 03:03, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Sure, but there's probably so many books that have "traumatic sexual relationships" as their main topic and it would be kind of pointless to try and list them all imo. If you found a source analyzing the two and comparing them, then we could move it out of the See Also section and into the article proper, probably the section about the books.
