Where do I go for GRI if I've read everything on that chart which always gets posted?

>>10539806
The main protagonist is a mary sue.
The prose is pretentious and sort of obnoxious.
The second book is cringeworthy as fuck.
The author is kind of a cunt and book 3 will never be released.
The fans of the series think it's a genius work of poetry and sophisticated because "muh unreliable narrator" (that goes to botnsfags too).
/sffg/ doesn't like it because it's popular.
It's better than anything Sanderson has ever written and will ever write.

I hate that fat piece of shit

I have done a complete 180 on this guy. I read his first book when it came out and found it enjoyable despite Denna being an awful character. The second book was mediocre, and the Felurian porn chapters were fucking weird, indulgent and awkward.

Now this fat, disgusting self-righteous piece of shit is holding the third book hostage despite saying YEARS ago that it's finished. He's just milking his sad success (or waiting for a movie deal) before releasing what will no doubt be a huge disappointment. I suspect he knows that he will fade into irrelevancy after it's published because b) he's not even that good an author, and b) he's too lazy, unproductive and slow as a writer.

Fucking Bonus Hate Round:
Have you seen his Goodreads profile? Jesus christ what a pile of shit. He gives almost EVERY SINGLE BOOK 5-stars. I wonder if it's because he knows the fucking author, or at least wants to suck their dicks and be "cool". When he does give a negative rating, it's always 1-star and he spouts the most insane abuse like a retarded child losing a game of Counter Strike. Seriously, read his 1-star reviews. It's pathetic.

Fuck Patrick Rothfuss.

Can we talk about Rothfuss for a moment please? I used to disregard the naysayers and actually enjoyed his first book a lot. The second book is significantly worse, but still readable. His most recent 2.5 book, "The Slow Regard of Silent Things", was just trash, and his personality is starting to annoy me.

I checked out his Goodreads profile, and it's stupid. He almost exclusively gives 5-star reviews, and mindlessly praises every book from famous/semi-famous/book-y people. He currently has 650 ratings and an average of 4.64. That's insane, and obviously ridiculous. Every single book he's read is significantly above average? What a fucking joke. When he doesn't like a book he swears and bitches like a, well, a bitch, and is entirely unpleasant and pretentious.

I'm getting more and more convinced that people were right: he's just riding this King Killer wave and milking it as hard as possible because he knows he will never publish anything worth reading afterwards. It's better to have fans screaming for a book three (that was supposed to be finished in TWO THOUSAND AND TWELVE) than no fans left at all.
