Hi, I am just in my second year and am trying to keep up to date with all literature whilst working in the lab and gaining results but I am now losing touch with the originality of my project. I feel as though it has been done before and I would struggle to state exactly what is original about it. My supervisors don't seem to think so and I am scared to approach them with papers I have found and how I am feeling about it in case they think I am being stupid or that I am not a very good reader. What if they decide I am right but are angry that I have not found these papers before? I have read hundreds of papers and have a very detailed lit review and nice results, but I still feel like it won't be worth a PhD if its not that original, especially if I am struggling to see it. Any advice on this would be amazing.
