Tales of Red

Tales of Red, originally titled The Absolute Guide to Red Mythology, is a classic within the DSRR, not because of its success but because of its horrible failure.
== Content ==
Written by Vojislav Nikboga in 1415, the book was made as an attempt to write down all of the mythology Red had to offer, and be remembered throughout history as the definitive source for all of Red mythology. But Nikboga didn't search as thoroughly as possible, and missed a lot of the stories told within the DSRR. Some speculate this was because of laziness, but no one truly knows. As an effect of this, and Nikboga growing up with Flame tales, the book is only around 500 pages, and half of the myths in the book are Flame. 
Nikboga also wanted to spice up the myths by adding some jokes. However, the first part was so oversaturated with jokes it was near impossible for most to tell what was real and it differed so greatly from the original myths it could almost be its own mythology. Nikboga ran out of jokes, making the other part fairly similar to the source material, but with a lot of reused jokes. To be clear: it was a genuine attempt to document everything, but it was ruined by this.
Not only this, but some of the myths are far too detailed, while others are very heavily summarized. One of the myths takes up roughly a sixth of the book while another a sixth of a page. The most popular belief is that this is because of the author listening to many different versions of a myth and trying to compress them into one, increasing the length, and that the author just didn’t pay attention to some of the myths, causing him to write only what he remembered. A joke about Nikboga having bad memory existed for a while, but it quickly died.
== Backlash ==
After it was written, it was not met with a good response, and the book was even renamed to what it is known today because the title was deemed too misleading. Nikboga has been accused of several things, including laziness, bias, and even purposefully altering the myths to fit his own opinions. 
== Present Time ==
In the current time, it is occasionally used by schools as an example of how not to document information, and it is sometimes used as a joke when someone writes a bad text.
