The "cultivation" element that made me gag on Malazan is that
EVERY
FUCKING
CHARACTER
seems to have a Cultivation webnovel amount of insane Anime bullshit for a backstory.

It's fucking impossible to relate or give a shit about anything happening in the story when there are literally no significant characters who don't have shonen protagonist amount of tragic motivation, mysterious dark mysteries, ebin convoluted drama, le schemes within schemes within schemes (that generally don't go anywhere) and layers upon layers of informed attributes and bullshit powers. The entire cast looks like a lineup of different LitRPG or cultivation protagonists: Whiskeyjack, Tattersail, Paran, Lorn, Qiuck Ben, Kalam, Sorry - Erikson the fucking graphomaniac began writing them and never fucking stopped.

I don't care about the story of how Whiskeyjack fell from grace or the source of Quick Ben's OP fuckery or what's the deal with Fiddler or what Sorry is up to because I don't care about any of these people - they are not real, not even for a moment, because real people don't have five D&D adventure modules dripping out of their nipples from the moment you see them. Consequently, I don't care one bit about le great and beautiful world they live in. Not that there's much flavour to it anyway - every fucking empire is great and imperial and decadent, every fucking city is ancient and exotic and full of secrets, every fucking valley is cursed or ran-through by Warrens or whatever, and every fucking pickpocketing hobo fingered the Goddes of thievery or luck or shadow or whatever holy fuck.

It's fucking anti-fantasy, because there's nothing to fantasy about it - it makes all the magic, the adventure, he tragedy, the exotic and the history itself so fucking trite it's unbearable.

Fuck this series, it's straight shit, I can see why it's cultural influence is limited to a handful of blowjobs from a handful of other tryhards and literally nothing else. Nothing of value would be lost if it drowned in the sea of webnovel diarrhea.

that asks: "What are the best novels in the second person?" [pic unrelated]

>Women are psychologically weak with a vague sense of self. That’s why they need men to tell them what to do. Just be the opposite of that and you’re golden. Also dress nice.
Anon, most posters on this board are psychologically weak with a vague sense of self and are perpetually upset that they can't be the opposites of themselves.

How do I read 400 pages in 2 days?

>I'm tired of how faith is looked down upon and the smug satisfaction that overcomes people by dismissing religion without even understanding it.

If you're in it for the social status yngmi. Esteem will not save you.

"To be a human being among human beings, and remain one forever, no matter what misfortunes befall, not to become depressed, and not to falter--this is what life is, herein lies its task."

Post the worst interpretation of a philosopher that you ever read. This shit makes cringe really hard and I thought it was satire for a moment.

Is this /pol/ 2.0?

How do I take the first step? I know what I want to write, and I have no problem writing out scenes, but I can never puzzle out how to get started on the first few paragraphs.
