The issue is that the epilogues are very much the sort of book that is focussed more on the experience of reading it and all the details put into its prose as oppossed to one focussed on plot beats, so just hearing the plot beats and making a judgement based on the removes all of the nuance. The epilogues plot points are genuinely not much worse then beyond canon in terms of its content, just a little more graphic/explicit (but still well in the "ma-15+ range" imo.)

Beyond canon has been so intertwined with the messages already present in the epilogues and building upon them, you cannot engage with them as text properly without having read the epilogues. IMO I cannot understand liking the new teams stuff but still refusing to read the epilogues.
