What will his legacy be? Also why the hush up about his death?

the most based brainlet of all time

>work as a carpenter and later a luthier i think (i'm not googling this shit)
>never read a book until middle age
>it's fucking ayn rand
>decide she's epic and 100% correct even though he's never read anything to challenge her ideas
>proceeds to write a series of fantasy(why?) novels filled with BDSM smut promoting his new randian worldview
>they actually become bestsellers and make him a millionaire
>goes to a bunch of interviews and screeches about how fantasy novels are faggot shit and his books are not technically fantasy, and that he has never read a fantasy novel
>dies

But yes he's just more grist for the mill and will be replaced within a decade by one of the next 1,000,000 crop of fantasy author brainlets who seem to grow on trees.

>Goodkind had no trouble selling his first book to a publisher. "I'm sort of the exception that proves the rule," he says. "I wanted to be represented by the best agent in the country and I wrote him a letter. He asked to see the book and he liked it. He showed it to a number of publishers. Three of them had an auction. Ten weeks after I'd written 'The End' it sold for a record price ($275,000),"[2] the most money ever paid for a fantasy novel by a first time author.[3]
How the FUCK did he did it?

Stumbled upon this author by some fat weak nerd while in basic training last year. Some of the better fantasy novels I’ve ever read. I stopped on book 8 after I finished OSUT.

I was the fat nerd’s only friend, and he gave me all of his books which included the chain fire series. I should get back in to it

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 19 19:00:45 2022 No.21013516 >>21013449 I skipped 5, 7 and 8 when i reread the series desu. Some would probably add 6 to that list but I liked it
