/lit/ - Literature

>>20731768
I truly love lord of the rings, and I admire Tolkein for his passion for working in it, but I can’t help but think Tolkien ultimately killed Fantasy as a genre, despite being its founding father. On one hand, he really was a one-of-a-kind writer that attempted to weave mythological narratives, medieval philosophy, into Britain's new mythology. Yet, all I see is hacks and plagiarist turning his work into nothing more than DnD generic with elves and dwarves. I don’t know if it was inevitable due to the age of consumerism, but it’s It's really sad that no one can surpass Tolkien.

Why is /lit/ so hateful?
Thereotically, it should have a similar tone as /trv/ or /out/. Reading books is a largely comfy experience. Is it merely the short distance between /pol/ or is it just the american posters?

There’s no point in literature is there?

Every time there’s some big hubbub over a shooter in the media I get unironically triggered into thinking about all the people that would make weird nasty comments to me about being a future shooter in high school. Hoping this shit blows over soon. America is cursed.

Is there any hope for literature at this point m?

How do we get children interested in reading? It seems more and more kids aren’t reading no more.

Don’t know about him, but I do. Tired of seeing anons posting the same trite bullshit about Muh woke current books while ignoring self-publish books that don’t do that.

>mfw the side stories I’m writing are different in tone and theme than the main story
How fucked am I?

At what point did you guys realize reading books was a waste of time?

>We don't hate Asian literature.
>let’s restrict it to to just west Europe and America.
This thread was doing fine, the previous thread was alright and the one before that. Again, stop having such a victim complex and let people here discuss stories they want to discuss without it being reductive due to your autism.

Sorry for being political, but do you guys think modern day fantasy and science fiction novels will be purged of their political and social bias? I just want to read fun and light hearted stories and escape from modern life.
