Congratulations on taking the first step to reading. Word to the wise, reading shouldn't be a chore. Read something fun if you want, whether it's philosophy or fantasy, just enjoy it. Way too many people lose sight of what reading is about here trying to flex their e penor. Anyways, check out the wiki and have fun, man.

I'm the fag who made this chart, as you can see book one is there, book two fell off of what was given in book one. It also borrowed too much from Sanderson, you could feel him in the pages. I enjoyed book one enough to shill it, but book two didn't deliver after the wait.

The "YA" bit has nothing to do with "things I don't like", as you can see I read a lot of what lit would call "shit". The YA bit deals with the thought processes and logical actions of the characters. If characters are behaving in immature ways (kids fighting the system and winning) with the usual romance shit targeted towards a younger audience I see it as YA. I haven't read book 2 since the year it was released, but I remember a "kids in dystopian society" vibes coming from it.

As for recs, this chart is supposed to be books that modern readers would be able to consume easily. They don't feel dated when reading (even though some are decades old). Browse and see what you like. As always when given a rec, read the blurb, look at genre tags and check some reviews to see if it is something you would like (obviously).

That was just a suggestion chart. This is the V2 of modern fantasy I was talking about. It has been a few years since this was updated, and a lot of stuff needs to be changed / added.

That chart was made years ago before peter brett fucked up his series so bad, and Prince of thorns was okayish-maybe. What about the rest of the books?

Neal Asher and Bv Larson both have books about being in space while people / things attack you.
