When I finish reading something I want to see what other people thought about that text. My next action to browse forums seeing what other people had to say about it. This is good for finding out if other people liked it, what kind of people like it and finding other similar readings. However, this method leaves a void for deep critical analysis. Posts on forums rarely try to argue about meaning or intention. The structure less responses often are just people writing; they think it is good. Seldom with conviction and without evidence.
Where do you find analyses? I tried using my university database but found there wasn't much for analysis. There was however a handful of articles proclaiming the relevance of Marx and gender studies to any given work. Search engine results mostly gave sites similar to spark notes and sites offering to write papers in exchange for money. The former sites often had content behind paywalls that was written high school students and teachers.

I dont think there is any except maybe some subreddit(s) somewhere. Why do you think we came here on infinity chan in the first place?

Stop caring what others think of stuff that you think was good or bad.

You seem to be suggesting their is no value in other peoples ideas. I wonder why it is you bother to read? These beliefs are irreconcilable.

The best you can do is to find a collective of literary academics (preferably centrists so you don't just read a goddamn manifesto with every essay) and read their say on the subject. Sadly, you won't find them congregating outside of academia. There used to be a time when respected critics like Orwell would publish their tome-like analysis too but that era has all but disappeared from the scene.
I dunno, man. I don't think you'll find what you're looking for now but if you do, give us a heads up.
