/lit/ - Literature

How do I hype myself up and prepare myself for a book series as massive as this one? I’ve been putting off starting it because it’s just so huge, but I do a lot of driving for work and have been burning though audiobooks and I think being able to listen to this series while working would be kind of cool.

So I've read the wheel of time and I really like books where the mc tries to shoulder all the problems by himself. Do you guys have any recommendations where the mc does that ?

i’m pretty reactionary, racist anti progressive etc. Is it going to just be a political pamphlet with a shitty story like 99% of books written past like 1950-60 or is it actually decent? in the mood for fantasy but already read all grrm and tolkien. i usually just read the classics/western canon, philosophy and theology but i need something not so mentally exhausting.

Im currently at book 4 of the wheel of times series and oooh boy, i dont know if i can finish it. I dont know how to best describe reading this, but its exhausting. I usually read fiction 1 or 2 hours before i got to bed, and usually im looking forward to this. But since i started the series i actually lost interest in reading at all.
Does it get better or should i just stop?

Also, wtf is wrong with the women in these books?
main character hast litteraly the weight of the world on his shoulders, yet this girl is bitching about him not showing enough affectioon
Every woman in the books seems to be fucking insane...

What went wrong?

Ive read 2 chapters of this shit. Does it ever become anything more than a Tolkien knock off? Its like he is writing the fucking shire and replacing names in MWord with his own fanfic characters

Opinion on a wheel of time? Just finished the first book

Fucking tsundere harem.

So are these actually worth the read?

God Damn i hate this series. I hate the women in this book, and i hate the men in this book. I hope the shadow wins and everyone gets continually ass raped until the end of time, holy shit.

What's up with these? Any good? I hear a lot of mixed opinions.

This book is fucking amazing. Why the hell is LOTR shoved down people’s throats.

Do you know how many people were probably pushed away from reading because people memed LOTR on them?

Is it worth the commitment /lit/? I'm just getting into mainstream fantasy and have been hearing good things about this. Despite that i'm hesitant to begin since there are 20+ books in the series. Are any of those optional or do they form a coherent/complete story?

Is this series any good Lit? I read like 1/2 the first book in middle school 15 years ago but I couldn't pronounce 3/4 of the words so I stopped.

I never really read but I'm going to try reading this with music on.
Reading is hard

>chuuni shit
>shitty harem
>Female characters shipped poorly done romance
>big worldbuilding
>has Japan/china country
It fits in anime perfectly.

Do the male characters stop being so pathetic later on?

Bought this.
Scared to read it.

So I just wanted to ask if all the feminazi bullshit in this series ever stops, I enjoy it mostly and have no intention to stop, but I'm getting pretty sick and tired of all the "women are the true rulers" bullshit.
