As a Bakker fanatic who's simmered in his own juices for a few years and not looked at these threads, I sure like seeing the thread start like this.

>>19865947

>>19865947

Has anyone pointed out the parallels between the fates of Conphas and Proyas?:

> Be a proud exalt-general
> Get buggered by a vessel of Ajokli
> Be driven mad by the experience, commit rash actions
> Later, get caught and killed by that vessel of Ajokli

A tasty double snack for the four-horned brother.

>>19866241
>>19866198
Sorry for being a retard with the duplicate post numbers.

>>19866241
A lot of inaccuracies there.
>> Be a proud exalt-general
Perhaps, but they were like night and day with regards to their personalities.
>> Get buggered by a vessel of Ajokli
Kellhus used Ajokli, not the other way around
>> Be driven mad by the experience, commit rash actions
Proyas didn't go insane because of the anal rape, though
>> Later, get caught and killed by that vessel of Ajokli
This is wrong.

A Practical Guide to Evil is finally ending what do you guys think of books 6 and 7?

>>19866252

> Kellhus used Ajokli, not the other way around
Regardless of who's using who in the end, I think Ajokli is possessing Kellhus and Cnaiur in the same manner, subtly puppeteering their actions at several points in a way that you're meant to notice on rereads.

Also it seems Kellhus is specifically nudged into committing the buggery by an Outside influence ("Then Heaven is not sane"). Just like Cnaiur roars "I am a demon!" before assaulting Conphas.

> Proyas didn't go insane because of the anal rape, though
Kellhus used other techniques as well, but the buggery It was clearly an essential part of the mindfuckery, the culmination of their sessions.

>> Later, get caught and killed by that vessel of Ajokli
> This is wrong.
Yeah this one is a stretch, he's finished off by Moenghus. But Kellhus is the one who condems him to death publicly, which should count for something.

>>19866265
>literature

>>19866316
Buggery kept Proyas sane from the meat.

>>19866316
>>19866349
>>19866241

Yeah it's not as neat as I initially though. (Also misremenbered that Cnaiur killed Conphas, it was actually Saubon.) I'll come back when I've got something good.

>>19865947
Bakkerchads back on top

>>19865947
Prove that you read books

>Xerius, Conphas, Maithanet, Kosoter
why do coolest characters always get the dumbest, most random deaths

>>19866198

Hails from Eärwa!! this is our general we just take breaks

What was even the point of the pilgrimage? whatever AI faction that sponsored the trip expected the pilgrims to achieve in the Tombs?

Why did Ummon reveal the secret of where the TechnoCore resided? I thought the Stables opposed the Ultimates because they didn't want to die to their UI. Apparently they were totally fine by dying to humans instead.

Is Moneta just a shameless time paradox?

Why did Ummon kill the first Keats?

So the whole thing about the Shrike granting a wish was complete BS? A dropped plot point?

The explanation for the Time Tombs goes from vague to ridiculous One of them is a tomb for the human champion Kassad, fine. The rest is just left in vague mystery.

>>19866874
Forgot the pic.

One of Bakker's creed
Never follow only lead
We of Bakker the one supreme
Once a tribe now a regime

>>19866874
Can someone recommend me something similar to Hyperion Cantos but that makes sense?

Any books dealing with alienation?

>>19866874
Nigga you know there are two more books right
Not that I can explain shit, I've read the whole Cantos twice and still have no idea what was happening most of the time

>>19866975

>>19866975
Search the fiction general.

>>19867025
>>>/tv/

>>19866978
Yeah, I know. But at this point I'm not sure I want to keep going, everyone tells me that Endymion and Rise of Endymion are pretty bad and retcon a lot from the first two books...

>>19867025
>>19867030
>Our faces when shill media and twitter brainlets can't connect we wuz hobbets to the books.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhckuhUxcgA

>>19867037
There are no retcons, the entire story was thought up by Simmons from the beginning

>>19867025
I can see it now, a movie "the day of the rope" where the black hobbitses get genocided and the event is swept under the rug by white wizards.

>>19867120
I can also see it now, a movie "the day of the cope" where white elves get BLACKED by bbc

>>19867104
Ok, but would you say the sequels provide satisfying answers to my questions?

>>19866777
Nice digits.

Maithanet was the biggest crime of all. I honestly think that one major problem of having all of these characters walking around makes it impossible for Bakker to deliver solid outcomes without months of planning each one's action. Especially the pure breed Dunyain.

>>19865947
>>19866004
recently started reading bakker. is kellhus some kind of buddhist superjew?

>>19867257
Not really, Endymion books take place after 200 years timeskip. As to your questions, a lot boils down to the main premise of AI God seeking Jesus God's part of the trinity which escaped in the past. The pilgrimage happens because of it, the faked ousters attack happens because of it, Tombs are a waystation for Shrike to impale people on his VR tree of pain, which were reclaimed in the future by Moneta and Kassad. Shrike obviously doesn't grant wishes unless you love buttsex in hell, his entire reason for being there is to cause as much suffering as possible in hopes of affronting God who just happens to not give a shit. The plot is meant to be vague and confusing because we follow a bunch of old retards through the 6D backgammon game played by unthinkably advanced warring entities whose motives cannot be fully grasped.

>>19867654
I see. I understand that the Shrike was a tool from the Core UI to fish out the Empathy Entity in the past, but everything surrounding it, the UI war and the time travel elements don't seem to add up. Like what is the deal with the underground labyrinths? It was just to lure a bunch of humans to bunk there in fear of the fake Ouster invasion so they can be zombified with cruciforms to serve the Core AI for...reasons? It all seems arbitrary and convoluted. Compared to other sci-fi series where I don't understand much of it, but get the feeling that I could with careful re-reads because the answers are all there, Hyperion feels hollow, like there is nothing solid to uncover. It's a bit underwhelming. The final confront of Brawne and the Shrike was VERY underwhelming.

>>19867746
>It was just to lure a bunch of humans to bunk there in fear of the fake Ouster invasion so they can be zombified with cruciforms to serve the Core AI for...reasons?
This gets elucidated in future novels, although Fall already gave a pretty obvious answer: farcaster technology works like a symbiote, humans use it to pass through space, and TC uses human minds to pass through the Void-Which-Binds. The purpose of labyrinth was to crowd a bunch of bikurized retards who would serve as eternal vessels for the TC computation. Sort of like Matrix

>>19867746
you’re still missing 2 books that’s why none of it makes complete sense.

The humans power the core

>>19867829
I thought the labyrinths were made by the Core AI (who already exists and moves freely in the plank zone or whatever), not The Core. Fair enough, I guess this is a reasonably satisfying explanation, specially compared to the other mysteries.

>>19867830
That has already been revealed in Fall, but I get your point. I should finish the series. Is it weird that in the end I enjoyed the Gladstone-Severn chapters a lot more than the chapters about the pilgrims fucking around in the desert?

>>19867861

I don’t think it’s weird, their part of the story was good, Severn ended up being my favorite character in the end.

any fantasy stories with yugoslavia tier ethnic tension?

>>19867868
Yeah, the first Keats is kind of a boring character. Severn is a lot more interesting, more human despite everything. I wasn't expecting the second book to be space opera war room kino, but I liked it. Duré was my second favorite character. Man, the premise, world building and most of the development of the first two books were top notch...

>>19867892
Simmons is my favorite.
Check out Ilium and Olympos, top tier world building. Basically the Iliad taking place on Mars combined with Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
People don’t like olympos as much but I loved them both personally.

>>19867938
Will I be able to enjoy it with no knowledge of the Iliad or Shakespeare? I already downloaded The Terror and Carrion Comfort from Simmons to put in the list.

When does Malazan get good.

>>19867957
Books 2 to 5.

>>19867955
I didn’t know shit about either but I had a good time reading analysis of both works as I read the novels if you’re into that kind of thing.
I think if you do have prior knowledge you’d pick up on a lot more but I still had a good time regardless.
Summer of Night is very fun also

>>19867983
I see. Thank you, anon. I will add them to my list right now.

>>19867996
Simmons is extremely based and un-pozzed. I remember seeing redditors cry about those 2 when I was searching up analysis’.

Enjoy, I hope you like them.

>>19868009
Fuck, now I'm liking him even more.

>>19867972
I will never read this.

>>19867195
You're supposed to say something more ridiculous then what they are actually doing with the franchise.
>white elves fucking black elves
That's the amazon show, that's actually happening.

Bakker Bakker rules supreme
Sandy Sandy seethe and scream
Bakker Bakker hey hey hey
Bakker rules is what I say

>>19868081
Black elves are cute, I mean blacked by big orc cocks but instead of a green cock its black and smelly

>>19868065
Why?

>>19868107
Only if you mean Drow = Caucasian elf features with obsidian (not shit coloured) skin and pure white hair.

>>19868023
Yea I'm a huge fan. I got all the first edition first prints signed and almost complete set of the Subterranean Press Cantos. Cryptonomicon 1st/1st and also the Blindsight/Echopraxia special prints

>>19868156
Probably because of the homo eroticism.

>>19868175
>Probably because of the lack of homo eroticism
ftfy

>>19868203
No, not really.

>>19868206
Reverend insanity has no homo, hetero or any other kind eroticism.
If that is a problem for you then continue reading gay sex stories.

>>19868233
>Reverend insanity has no homo, hetero or any other kind eroticism.
The problem is that, given the author, such a clear beforehand warning is even required in the first place.
There are plenty of books I don't need someone to pre read in order to avoid descriptions of butt-fucking.

>>19868233
Not my problem.

Recommend books where blacks reign supreme?

>>19868233
Still not reading.

>>19868172
That's a really nice collection, anon. Those first cover arts were peak SOVL.

>>19868254
Real life

>>19868254
But LTG despises blacks.
Mods, ban this poseur from my thread...

>>19868262
No, that's jews, the blacks are sock-puppets who will go back to being uneducated slave labour once the whites have been sufficiently bred out.

>>19868245
you are not making sense

>>19868278
>Bakker writes gay shit
>Doesn't put a big warning on the front of the book: "HERE LIES GAY SHIT"
>Solution?
>Don't read Bakker.

>>19868254

>>19868233
Instead it has a tranny.

>>19868323
So the faggot lied to us! That is Homosexual.
Reason #298 not to read Bakker: His fans will lie about the homo eroticism.

>>19868233
Yes it does. Why are you lying?

>>19868287
Not him, but why do you require a solution for a non-existing problem?

Would you read the book if it had a warning sign? You're not making any sense.

>>19868323
it is probably the one and only time in history of literature where a tranny character was done right.

>>19868358
>Would you read the book if it had a warning sign
No, but if he did that I might be willing to read his books that didn't have the sign.
Instead I must assume they all require that warning.

>>19868365
Did they get hung to death in their introductory moments?

How hard is the gay sex in this series?

>>19868371
>a tranny
>hung

>>19868343
Where?

>>19868366
You should probably read woke authors for trigger warnings.

>>19868373
Damn, I was going to read this soon, but I guess I won't anymore.

>>19868381
Woke authors require them
Normal authors do not.

>>19868386
Cringe.

I've heard amazing things about it. I literally cannot contain myself from the amount of hard gay sex and homo eroticism that's available on that series.

Women and trannies have overtook /printSF.

>>19868373
That image is simpy not right. Fang Yuan is described as barely above the average in looks.

>>19868373
He is so fucking hot.

>>19868398
Didn't you know? According to women 80+% of men are below average, you need to be 9/10 to be a 5/10.

Which one is more gay? Bakker or Reverend Insanity? Asking for a friend.

>>19868406
RI, and it's not even close.

>>19868404
It is according to mc (or the author himself), both are males, if mc thinks he is average then he is probably not even 3/10

>>19868406
Bakker has a lot of gay sex in it, but Reverend Insanity is just crazy.

>>19868414
>or the author himself
judging from those haggard whores clinging onto him in that picture the faggot keeps posting, yeah, I can believe this.

>>19866765
Not my problem.

Discuss

>>19868366
I go to good reads and check for the LGTB tag to know not to read a book

Why do you faggots always derail this general?

>>19868432
Bakker hardly qualifies as LGBT. If it did, so would the greeks.

>>19867585
No, he's what you would get if a superintelligent AI got stuffed into a human body.

>>19868440
Now that you arrived, there truly is no coming back.

>>19867585
It’s his self-insert.

>>19867585
Warning: He rapes men in the ass and you get a detailed description.

>>19868440
Huh? You must be mistaken, honey.

This is the No-God waiting room.

>>19868440
I'm not going to stop going on about Bakker and the fact that he writes homosexuality until the bakker faggot fucks off, and if he doesn't at least no newfags will get tricked into reading queer sex scenes without fair warning.
If I can scroll through the thread and not see that queer, then and only then, will my work be done.

>>19868476
Thank for assuring the survival of /sffg/.

Until you, or every single Bakker chad dies.

Until then: Does it trouble you?

>>19868476
>I'm not going to stop going on about Bakker

>>19868507

>>19868476
So, you're gping to keep derailing the general because a few autist who keep repeating the same bullshit? Either report them or ignore them.

>>19868447
greeks were heterosexual though

You want woke faggotry in fantasy, you got it. Main character becomes bisexual and in a three-way relationship. His parents are both opposite trannies. His girlfriend has two faggot fathers. Two other characters are bisexuals. One is also a masochist. Another is completely asexual.

I still don't know how I made it through the trilogy, the propaganda was Tumblr-tier. Probably because caught me by pandering to pipesmokers, with gratuitous descriptions of pipe carving and tobacco blends.

>>19868523
I accept your surrender.

>>19868539
If anal sex between men is heterosexual, then what the fuck is your problem?

>>19868551
He's still in the closet. Give it time.

>>19868538
>Either report them or ignore them.
Follow your own advice.
Either report and ignore bakker fag or report and ignore me, either way you writing this comment right here is hypocritical and/or stupid.

>>19868641

>>19868678
Does it trouble you?

>Imagine being the ESL newfag retard being this mad

Where to start with 40k? Are the books even worth reading?

>>19868705
You have to wait for the next thread. This thread is a lost cause.

Daily reminder to start with "The Darkness that Comes Before" by R. Scott Bakker.

You will only understand the memes on /sffg/ if you read the canon.

>>19868686
The entire point of the troll is to get (You)s, you're giving me what I want.
You're pissing off the rest of the thread by continuing this interaction, you're giving me what I want.
The bakker fag posting bakker faggot shit all day wasn't pissing the thread off ENOUGH to deal with him, so now I will step it up a notch, the bakker fags presence will now summon the anti-bakker fags presence.
The thread will suffer until bakker fag is no more, either the jannies can automod any mention of him or stalk the thread and ban him regularly, I got a dynamic IP and am autistically stubborn.
I am that fucking sick of it, so either cease to tolerate his gay presence or learn to also tolerate mine.

Last thread was great. Shame we couldn’t repeat it with this thread.

>>19868705
Ask this question in the next thread.

>>19868721
Still not my problem.

>>19868725
>in the next thread.
It's not going to be any different adding a delay.

>He's so mad he even replies to his own posts to prove a point.

>>19868758
>It's not going to be any different adding a delay.
It will be different if you stop being an autistic fuck and replying and just report them or ignore them

Because that has resulted in a single bakker faggot post EVER being removed? It has resulted in a single thread EVER being pruned for the derailing? It has given you ANYTHING AT ALL beyond the dopamine rush of thinking you had an iota of power when you click "submit"?

Thank you OP.

>>19868792
Maybe if you actually report them instead of replying to them, mods will do something. But they have been bakkerposts recently.

>>19868792
Yes. Bakker has been around since /sffg/ was even a thing. And wildly popular too. Check the archives, again.

>>19868788
I would have you know that /sffg/ is unironically full of homosexuals, myself included. So you'll just have to cope, I guess.

>>19868798
>>19868792
Your English water-mark is so visible that your attempt to have other anons report posts you don't like is unironically pathetic and cringe.

>It's you against the world, and you will never win.
I'm still standing.
I have tried to talk about too many fucking books by other authors only to have the mere mention of bakker faggot completely derail and take the entire threads attention too many fucking times.
If I can't discuss any books except bakker then the whole fucking thread is going to discuss this cocksucking queer until each and every one of you is as sick as I am of it.
FUCKING FIX IT OR FUCKING SUCK IT.

I did enjoy the cowboy-esque character of Anson, but for me the jewel of the series was the Lunarian peoples, Anderson wrote a very inspiring race of wild spacebound humans, from the first modified children defining an emerging society to a wide flung peoples storied with their own heroes that you get to know as characters before they are spoken of as legend.
Rindalirs death was a very well done future take on "I am going for a walk, I may be some time

The fact that you know this is already cringe. Sorry.

>>19869203
Whatever will I do. It's the obvious thing to assume unless you're really computer illiterate, anyway.

I am looking for a dark fantasy series with intense battles, pitch black lore, highly intellectual themes that dovetail into real world philosophy, poignant character psychology, and just a hint of Lovecraftian horror. Is there anything out there like this?

>>19869191
>spoilers
That is definitely one of the better moments for me, but my personal favourite is Guthrie about to dogfight the cybercosm ships "We've got something they don't. See, I'm an old soul, I go way back: I have known WAR" sent chills down my spine! The lunarians were a great concept although I think he used the term "catlike" to describe them one time too many.

>>19869216
might I recommend this cult classic?

>>19869216
I have to say Black Company.

>>19869216
BotNS has all of those except intense battles.

>>19869216
Tolkien, Wolfe, Bakker. Any of these is probably what you're looking for. Although, due to your exquisite description, I would probably say that Bakker is what you're looking for.

You can't go wrong either way.

>>19869275

You literally can't make this shit up.

You're due for a reread, anon.

>>19869303
Funny that you say this, because there is in fact a scene in The Second Apocalypse where the exact same description, of feces being pushed in due to anal sex, exists.

Scene in pic related, as a matter of fact

>>19869316
You wouldn't know what a novel is if reddit hadn't told you who to worship.
Go pick the pubes out of your teeth.

>>19869114
The Broken Sword is the only thing I've read of his, but it was pretty great. Nice mythic, tragic quality to it.

>>19869371
I've never actually read any of his fantasy yet, I'm drawn in by his scifi given that he actually studied physics.
I'll have to give it a shot though, his fantasy is sure to be better than... Others.

>>19869216
By pitch black lore do you mean tonally dark or do you mean mysterious and lofty and vague? If you mean both then my book when it comes out some day. :^)

A lot of suggestions for Bakker but it's just one poster shitting up this board. He's an unheard of literally who. Don't go down that road.

>>19869486
Too late, already bought it.

>>19869216
The Chronicles of Narnia

For those Bakker haters in this thread, just give the guy a chance. I was hooked by the prologue. Bakker's prose is so dark and evocative. Just try it out.

>>19869523
Have you seen their English? It's hopeless, they are literally unable to read him, or Wolfe.

>>19869523
I will give it a try when we get an entire thread without Bakker based shitposting

>>19869531
That will surely make them stop.

>>19869529
Tbf wolfe is 100x harder to read than Bakker. His writing is just very complex.

>>19869486
>"He's an unheard of literally who"
>Using the argument that an author is unknown as a reason to not read him.
The absolute state of ESLs.

>>19869536
I have faith that it will happen eventually

>>19869546
100 times is starching it. Wolfe is difficult because he has a very exoteric cryptic style of writing.

This chart sums it up nicely in my opinion.

>>19869555
Keep taking your meds then.

>>19869550
You ever consider that Bakker is just not a good writer? Or are you too focused on sucking his cock? Fucking faggot.

Choke on a cheesy dick, faggots.

When will he post his review on bakker?

>>19869576
I've never read Bakker. But he is clearly living rent-free in your head.

>>19868460
so hes jewish then
>>19868449
am i supposed to like him?

>>19869576
>"He's an unheard of literally who"
He writes better than you, that's for sure.

>>19868460
No, he actually doesn't. You would know this if you read the series.

Lmao at the damage control as you see the board turning, they've finally had enough, one straw too many.

Reminder, if you like Pringles you have to read Wolfe. There is no excuse.

>>19869617
>Being so absolutely ass-blasted that you can't even reply properly.
I accept your defeat.

>>19869617
Not an argument.

Bakker is off limits for him.

His mom is a lesbian and he calls sandersnoy daddy smdh

>>19869729
Read and find out. Why would you want us to ruin the fun? He's one of the coolest concepts in the series.

>>19869729
kellhus is the author's self-insert. So, yes.

>>19869736
im on the brink of putting it down, dont really care for him so far and some of the other characters, especially esmenet, are a chore to read

>>19869798
The book only picks up when the PoV switches back to Kellhus again, or Cnaiür depending on what you like. I've read the first book in one day, though.

>>19869798
>Another one gets filtered by Bakker
Many such cases.

I just finished The Darkness That Comes Before, about to start book 2. I enjoyed it, just curious if anyone thinks it gets better in the 2nd book

>>19869793
No, I have already stated I am going to contribute to this thread being pissed off until you all lose it with me. You have all been too tolerant and have allowed this scum to shit in the thread for far too long, you want nice things? Fucking keep them nice!

>>19869826
The Second Book is the best book of the trilogy and arguably the best one in the entire series.

>>19869812
ok. ill give it a bit more tho. btw i keep imagining him looking like picrel

God damn, you’re a once in a lifetime retard.

>>19869844
You have two choices: either tolerate me and shut the fuck up like a good little bitch kneeling for that faggot, or you can cease to tolerate him.
Bakkerfag makes a post? call him a faggot as a reflex.
You all keep letting this thread be his personal cumbucket? Then I see no reason not to dump my shit off here too.
I see you are all very tolerant of being shat on, so I'm going to join in.

>>19869878

After reading up on this series, I had really high hopes going into it - looking for something that would really revolutionize the fantasy genre. Boy, was I ever disappointed...and I mean really disappointed.

The book started off great, which lead me to believe that it was truly going to live up to the reviews I've read. Well, as soon as the introduction came to a close, this thing just began to droll on and on at such a tediously slow pace. This book just bored the hell out of me. It seemed to fall into a predictable pattern of long, drawn out conversations which inevitably would lead to a pivotal climax, only to break right before said climax; suddenly jumping to other matters which would only restart the cyclic dribble.

Now, it wasn't all boring, it did have its scenes that drove me to exclaim "Finally!" thinking that I just needed to get through the languid marsh that was first presented before I actually got to the "real deal" that seems to be an unfortunate device used in so many other books (though not on purpose of course, or so I hope). Nope, as soon as it got good, it would quickly flip back into its usual slow-paced boredom.

About halfway through, I almost didn't even bother with finishing and let it sit for two or three weeks before I finally came back to it. I kept saying to myself, "It's gonna get better." Oh, if only it did. I really don't know if I'm going to bother with the rest of the series. I mean, I really wanted to like this book - I had read so many good things about it. I wish I could have liked this book, but in the end, I really didn't care for it.

Despite it all, the scenes that perked my interest perked it enough that this book could have squeaked by with a 3 star rating, but...then we come to my biggest issue that I have with Bakker: his writing style. Good God!! Now I'm all for against-the-grain writing styles but with what appears to be a 10 to 1 ratio of fragments to sentences, this book was driving me nuts. If he could have just turned half of those periods into commas or semi-colons, maybe I could have given this book 3 stars.

In the end: I deem it yet another fantasy book to steer clear of. But then, perhaps the other two books in the series are better and pick up the pace - at least, that's what I've read to be the case. But I don't know, the way this book was, if I do choose to continue this series, it's going to be a long long time before I ever bother picking up anything by this author again.

>>19869913
Is it GRI?

>>19869891
And it's going to continue, days, weeks, months, years, however fucking long it takes.
This autist has nowhere else to be and the reddit tier faggot can go the fuck back.
the last few months of this thread could make a man swear that you all only know of three fucking authors, that's it, that's the discussion that goes on here: "Bakkerfag, bakkerfag bakkerfag, bakkerfag, wolfe, bakkerfag, bakkerfag, sanderson, bakkerfag, bakkerfag!"
You all call me retarded for losing it this thread but you're the real fuckin retards! do any of you even actually read books anymore or just jerk off to the author photos?

>>19869913
But that's Arthur C Clarke's weakest book.

I did ask and enjoyed the review. He also over does ellipsis.

Success really does bring jealousy.

>>19870102
Oh yeah, real jealous of him getting his shit pushed in so he could write authentic scenes.

>>19870092
Then what's the fucking point of making 2 posts one minute apart, retard?

>>19870111
Yes, you sound jelly.

ok bakkerchads, I kneel. I still the mention of shit and piss and saying the word "fuck" has no place in fantasy and the books would be better with it omitted.
