At this point Sanderson has found his audience, his books used to be described as "anime" because people were saying he was all about the spectacle rather than the quality, but for his past books he's definitely pivoted to appeal to the kind of readers who will scour the community wiki to see how his fifth magic system interact with his second magic system to produce this result, which in fifty years in-universe will lead to magic computers being invented.

This guy writes some of the worst dialogue ever and THE worst dialogue in a fantasy book that I've ever read. Why does /lit/ like him?

Podcast-tier books, you won't get much out of them but they're great to absentmindedly listen to while driving or doing some kind of manual labour since you're not missing out on much if you stop paying attention for a minute or so. If something is important it will be repeated 4 or 5 times so a child could follow along. The marvel of books.

Author seems like a nice guy, shame about him being part of a cult though, you know for a fact that by buying his books at least 11% of the money goes to it through his tithes.

No idea how he got THIS popular since he writes slop to listen to while moving boxes but it serves that purpose really well, as far as entertainment goes i'd say it's 1 notch above listening to your coworker tell you stories about his visits to the grocery store or what he had for dinner.

Are we all in an agreeement on this one?

Brandon Sanderson said that when you're writing your first book that you should look at a book or a movie that you like and use what you like about that movie as the basis of your story, basically copying your favourite shit. My favourite movie is Fight Club, surely that type of plot twist can't be easy to replicate for a new writer. Thoughts?
