Just finished reading The Wheel of Time. I’ve spent a year on it and now it feels empty without more to read. What now?

What a waste of time. A whole year dedicated to one shitty fantasy series. You could have read so much more...

I picked up all 15 books for a buck each in a book sale, read a few chapters of the first books, and then gave them all away and read a variety of good books for a year. Jordan's writing was just painful. No regrets.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a comfy journey. Now you read some stand alones or shorter series to take a break, and maybe branch out to more horror stories from pulp zines etc

hey op, im the notorious diversity poster on WoT related threads over on /tv/. i'll tell u something: post series melancholia is a powerful drug, but with time you'll realize that wheel of time is kinda shitty. rj very clearly lost control over his own creation, and started multiple storylines that ultimately amounted to nothing, or had unsatisfying conclusions, because he wasnt able to plan far enough ahead. the only character with a consistently interesting(ish) story, and development that made sense, was Rand. the worldbuilding was pretty weak, even horrible. the series has a few cool moments, a few interesting characters and themes, but its not a good series.

that aside, what you should do now is shitpost over on /tv/ before the amazon show comes out. these last few months before it is released are the last chance, after it comes the shitposts will have to adapt. and please remember:
>the Breaking happened only 3k years ago - NOT enough time for the populations of the Westlands to become racially homogenized
>the only groups in all of Wheel of Time that are ethnically segregated, and thus completely non-mixed, are the Aiel and the Sea Folk, both of whom left the mainland during the Breaking, and never settled or intermarried with mainlanders
>Ishara, the first queen (YAASS) of Andor, was a black woman (and all Andoran nobles take pride in being descended from her)
>Cenn Buie is canonically non-white
>Andor is canonically ethnically diverse
>the Two Rivers is canonically ethnically diverse
>Tuon is BLACK AF
also, ishy best boy
