I had a coworker that retired in his 70s this year and he still read fantasy books. He was a man's man too, been married 50 years and enjoyed really basic stuff like grilling and fishing and fixing cars. He read Robert Jordan and plenty of other stuff.

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU RAT JEW. I’m so sorry your goddamned heeb culture couldn’t come up with such a great and truly sincere writer. And you’re mad he got rich in a way you filthy liars never could (save the Coen bros and Salinger) and even then they both pale in comparison to Tolkien chad. You fucking Jews do nothing but harass me all day with your BULLSHIT

You are never too old for fantasy. The day you lose your childlike wonder and imagination, is the day you stop being a human and turn into a degenerate NPC subhuman.

Depends on the fantasy
ASOIAF is ok for most adults
Harry Potter for YA so ~18
And childrens fantasy like LOTR ~14 is too old

Being an adult is reading whatever the fuck you want to without consideration or the approval of other faggots.

You niggers act like the whole point of maturity is to simply wallow in the mundane in totality for the rest of your life.

Shut the fuck up and read whatever you want to read you stupid little shit.

Depends on what you expect from it.
Genre by itself is not important much, it is the quality of a particular work that matters. And 99% of all the written books are shit.

Enjoying fantasy means you're unironically a sigma.

An alpha leads by force, a beta follows suite, however a sigma cares his own path. He literally says fuck you to normie shit so hard he fabricates stories out of pure imagination. A sigma also doesn't give a shit what other people think about him, a trait often found within other fellow fantasy enjoyers. That's why you're a sigma if you read someone else's fiction, you're reading it because you found common ground with another like yourself, since all fantasy writers are automatically sigmas. Finding common ground with another sigma means you're a sigma too. Take pride in that, King.
