/lit/ - Literature

I don't mind it, as long as it doesn't become tedious, which it almost always does. I prefer it when the focus is on the people beneath the politics, like the king's bodyguard who has to make sure his asshole liege doesn't get his head cut off because he's cavorted with the wrong princess or signed a pact with slightly unfavourable terms.

On an unrelated note, are there any good examples of a powerful protagonist or antagonist who became (or becomes over the course of the story) powerful by breaking the rules of the setting? Say, for instance, a world in which magic-users rule, but the protagonist is useless with magic, so he goes about bending every single magical rule he can to artificially boost his own abilities, either by re-purposing existing magical items or concepts, or by essentially cheesing his way into power. Ideally in a setting where magic is a slightly more nebulous concept and not strictly quantified like in all these "I woke up in an RPG with a big titty follower, and also I'm Japanese"-genre stories.

Expressing yourself is so pointless, right guises? Especially when it align with political and social views.
All that architecture and /lit/ is so useless, all those paintings and sculptures that sometimes are the only thing left portraying an era.


Don't know if bait or just 1.000 edges
