(Good) books with protagonists who would be sorted into Slytherin but who are still good people?

I hate reading fantasy books with young people as characters because it reminds me I wasted my youth.

>>22571793
Shill me your favorite animal fantasy books.

>>22571801
And books with older people suck because they're schizos (Black Company)

>>22571801
I just hate it because 99% of the time it's just a YA novel or an "adult fantasy" that's basically written like a YA novel but they threw the word "fuck" in a couple times to keep it out of the YA section.

Reading Dune for the first time today. It's pretty good.

ASOIAF Book 1 spoilers ahead

Half way through, and I'm starting to get that feeling. Catelyn taking Tyrion captive is the most egregiously retarded thing that's happened so far. Who the hell would give a one of a kind blade that could be traced back to them to an assassin to kill the son of the king's hand? For someone not wanting to get caught there is zero reason to do such a thing other than them being utterly retarded, and the Lannisters have shown to be anything but that so far.

And yes, I know that's not the case, and Littlefinger lied, but nonetheless it's what Catelyn believes in the story. And even IF that's what actually happened the decision to take Tyrion is still stupid. You're risking war and putting your husband and daughters in danger for what? A rumor and a knife? What an absolute moron. Worst of all every consequence following this action of hers will be based on a foundation that is not sound. No matter what happens the feeling that none of this should even be happening will not go away. I'm seething, I'm malding, and I'm tired of reading about fucking food and heraldry.

>>22571785
Does it get better or worse?

>>22571822
I was incredibly disappointed by the movie. Good source material + good director but DUNC was pretty bad

>>22571807
that's based thoughever

>>22571830
DUNC wasn't as good as BR2049 but I think the second film will pick things up.

>>22571807

Redwall.

I was going to read ASOIAF but I'm afraid that I'll get a few books in, get super invested, and then Martin will die leaving the books unfinished. That would be devastating. I'm just gonna wait and see if he finishes them. I'll outlive him (unless I get hit by a bus or something).

>>22571829
>Does it get better or worse?
That Catelyn moment is the biggest individual fuckup in the series and the catalyst for the ensuing conflict.
Book 1 is my least favorite ASOIAF book while 3 is my favorite

>>22571800

Are there any books that do Lovecraftian horror well outside of Lovecraft?
Seems like every modern attempt at Lovecraft is just made out of spite for the man rather than love for the ideas he created.

>>22569638
>Kids are cruel, Jack. Seriously, read about some IRL cases of bullying, especially when it comes to female students bullying other female students.
The extent that the bullying went to crossed over from realism and went straight into cartoon tier.
You're telling me the girls literally assaulted Taylor, mugged her, destroyed her shit, and verbally bullied her EVERYDAY in front of the entire school -- teachers included sometimes, and no one cared to stop it? For fucksake, they fucking sexually assaulted her when they threw her in a locker with used tampons. That shitshow was so bad that Taylor had a mental breakdown which led to the TEACHERS being forced to take her to hospital. And yet the story expects me to believe that the bullying is still ongoing after this? Nigga, that's a shitshow that would've been in the news. The school would've been pulling out all of the stops to give Taylor a warm welcome after she came back, because failure to do so, could lead to the entire fucking staff being fired and blacklisted from the education industry if a local news article got wind of it.
And yet NOTHING happens. Even when Taylor comes back to the principal a few months later, with a mountain of evidence, and one of the girl's parents basically admitting it.
When the adults are so hilariously incompetent, and the students are so cartoonishly evil, it's hard to take the plot seriously.
The author wants a "gritty" story where the lead suffers, but he's unwilling to take into account the ACTIONS that would occur from the protagonist suffering. And that's bad writing.
>But there are almost no fights vs fodder in Worm?
I'm talking about all of the adds in every fight who's sole purpose is to job and hype up either the antagonist that Taylor is going against or Taylor's team.
>Wildbows prose in notoriously lacking in descriptions
Give me one second and I'll quote a chapter that's pure fucking description.
>, and he doesn't mention a character's look beyond once or maybe twice
That doesn't change the fact that he overdoes it on the descriptions
>Still, I found his prose better than some mainstream authors', like Sanderson and G. R. R. Martin.
lol

>>22572145
>>22569638
>Give me one second and I'll quote a chapter that's pure fucking description
Alright, let's get this started. Hive 5.1:
>Kaiser came through the door with a girl on each arm, blondes with measurements like Playboy models. Kaiser wore armor head to toe, elaborately worked and topped with a crown of blades. The leader of Empire Eighty Eight. The twins went by the names Fenja and Menja, and were decked out in Valkyrie-style armor featuring countless little steel wings, along with closed-face helms. Had to admit, Kaiser liked his heavy hitters. These two could grow to be three stories tall, and they were a hundred times more durable when they were.
>Purity entered a few steps behind him with several others following her. She was dressed in a white costume without any markings or symbols on it, but the fabric glowed softly. Her white hair and eyes glowed too, but it was more like they were made of heated magnesium than anything else. I couldn’t look in her direction without getting spots in my eyes, and my mask had tinted lenses designed to reduce glare.
>Coil entered after Empire Eighty Eight, all the more conspicuous because he was alone. No backup, no show of force. He was taller than Grue, but he was thin to the point of being skeletal. His skintight costume covered him head to toe, lacking even eyeholes or openings for his nose and mouth, and the way it clung to his skin let you see his individual ribs and joints. The costume was black, and the only design on it was a white snake, with its head starting at Coil’s forehead, the tail extending down the back of his head, looping and winding over his entire body before finally ending at one of his ankles. He sat at the end of the table opposite Kaiser.
>Faultline. I knew of her from my research. She was twenty-something, and her straight black hair was in a long bristling ponytail. Her costume was weird, approximating something like a blend of riot gear, a martial arts uniform and a dress. Four people entered the room with her, and the two guys in the group were instantly the weirdest people in the room. I knew them by name too. Newter wasn’t wearing a shirt, shoes or gloves, which made it all the more apparent that his skin was neon orange from head to toe. He had light blue eyes, dark red hair that looked wet and a five foot long prehensile tail. Gregor the Snail was morbidly obese, average height, with no hair on his entire body. His skin was milky white and slightly translucent, so you could see shadows beneath it where his organs were. Like someone else might have bad acne, he had bits of shell or scales crusting his skin. They looked almost like barnacles, but there was a spiral shape to them.
1/? Bear in mind, this is all the same chapter. And the plot has been put on literal hold for this bullshit as the author feels the need to describe everyone -- even the people irrelevant to the scene in minute detail

>>22572156
>You wouldn’t have thought they were close by their body language, silence and the sheer difference in appearance, but both had matching tattoos. Newter’s was just above his heart, while Gregor’s was on his upper arm. It looked like the greek ‘Omega’ symbol, but upside down. Maybe a stylized ‘u’.
>The other two girls in Faultline’s group were very normal by contrast; Labyrinth wore a dark green robe and mask with lines all over them. Spitfire wore in a red and black costume with a gasmask.
>Skidmark, Moist, Squealer. Two guys and a girl, the lot of them proving that capes weren’t necessarily attractive, successful or immune to the influences of substance abuse. Hardcore addicts and dealers who happened to have superpowers.
>Skidmark wore a mask that covered the top half of his face. The lower half was dark skinned, with badly chapped lips and teeth that looked more like shelled pistachio nuts than anything else.
>I’ll be taking a chair, I think,” someone spoke from the door. Most heads turned to check out a male figure in a black costume with a red mask and tophat. It gave me sort of a Baron Samedi vibe. His teammates followed him into the room, all in matching costumes of red and black, differing only in design. A girl with a sun motif, a guy with bulky armor and a square mask, and a creature so large it had to crawl on its hands and knees to get through the door. It was hard to describe, approximating something like a four armed hairless gorilla, with a vest, mask and leggings in the red and black style its team was wearing, six-inch claws tipping each of its fingers and toes.


All that fucking bullshit, and half of the people the author described don't even fucking participate in the scene. So why the fuck did he waste time on them? Can you fucking imagine if GRR Martin wasted a chapter just describing characters? He knows that shit doesn't matter. He'll tell you the body build, the hair, and maybe the house colors + style of the key people in the room. He doesn't need to describe people who are irrelevant to the scene. Look at Bran's first color for fucksake, anon. Only Jon, Ned, Robb, and Theon are described, and George is very loose with the descriptions. We are given their general age + their hair color + the fact that they're wearing warm clothes because it's snowing outside. George doesn't go Jon had silver eyes, and brown hair, and a fur cloak, and a shimmering blue belt, and a bright yellow shirt that says badass. You know why? Because it's irrelevant. It doesn't matter.

I don't see how you can think Wildbow's a better writer than GRR Martin. I simply can't comprehend it.

Who is the artist for these pics? Their artstyle is breathtaking.

>>22572197
Clearly AI. You can tell from the smooth bright faces.

>>22572199
For AI, it's really nice imo. Not even baiting when I say that I prefer it over a lot of natural artists.
It's unironically pretty close to the style I envision when I'm reading fantasy books.

>>22572202
It looks like an anime/manga style. It'll make any woman look 10x better because it highlights women's most attractive features.

anyone /poe/ up in here?

>Some of them—the pioneers in this, I noticed with some surprise, were all females—began to disregard the injunction of decency, deliberately for the most part. Others even attempted public outrages upon the institution of monogamy. The tradition of the Law was clearly losing its force. I cannot pursue this disagreeable subject.
H-hot, Wells.

>>22572199
Not clear at all. All the strokes look natural. It looks like they're done by a real artist. The faces are bright and smooth? What does that even mean?

>>22572564
>The faces are bright and smooth?
It's the surest way to tell AI art with more 3d looking characters. Most of them can't do realistic skin, eg >>22571912 looks like every pixel has been photoshopped smooth.

But you're right, that one looks human drawn (or a very good AI prompt)

>tfw read all of the black company series before anyone stopped me

bros...I kept waiting for it to be like the first again...I kept waiting...why...

best thing out of the whole ordeal was looking for an ebook one night to tide me over until I borrowed the next book in the series and instead finding some shitty recording of a guy doing offensive indian impressions which I guess is the audiobook

https://youtu.be/phIM4q85-OM?si=-Axo1Yws5YgKnXok&t=4068

bros i am in desperate need of a good fantasy book, haven't read anything in over a year. currently considering Abraham's A Shadow in Summer (love ASOIAF, people say it's similar), Gwynne's Shadow of the Gods, or maybe something by Guy Gavriel Kay. thoughts?

>>22572617
Go with GGK, he's the best, beats the rest! Read Abraham's Long Price Quarter when you feel like committing to four books.

>>22572620
which GGK book would you recommend, Tigana or Al-Rassan? and how does Abraham compare to ASOIAF?

Finally finished with my fan casting.

>>22572292
Red the golden beetle and collected tales, but maybe start a horror general for this?

>>22572628
Honestly I'd recommed Sailing to Sarantium and Lord of Emperors (basically the same story split into two books)
>how does Abraham compare to ASOIAF
We finally find out what the tax policy was

>>22571801
The teenage romances kill me. At one point I actually went into a small depression after such a book. Luckily it made me find REH when I started actively avoiding plots with young love.

>>22572735
The most infuriating teenage romance shit was in Robin Hobb's Rainwilds Chronicles.
>novels are supposed to be about people taking a bunch of dragons to an ancient city filled with the wisdom of the ancients
>instead it's about love triangles
>when the books aren't about love triangles they're about how every gay man recognizes every other gay man as a homosexual at first glance and immediately wants to have sex right then and there
I hate it

>japanese webnovel writer kept writing extremely detailed tentacle rape erotica for 10 years straight
Why are the japanese like this

I made a post about a week ago saying I was halfway through book 1 of Wheel of Time. I can now say that I trudged through and finished it.

And I gotta say, it might legit be the worst book I ever read. I don't even know where to begin, I'm actually speechless about how bad it was.

I'm thinking fantasy might not be for me guys. All of the things that I want fantasy to be, none of the writers do. I guess I have to write something that resonates with me myself.

>>22572808
WOT is pure slogslop.

>>22572808
What do you want fantasy to be and where did that idea come from?

>>22571829

>Catelyn taking Tyrion captive is the most egregiously retarded thing that's happened so far.
Her husband isn't in charge anymore and it shows what happens when women are left to their own devices and try to play power games. Martin throws in redpilled stuff like this from time to time.

>Who the hell would give a one of a kind blade that could be traced back to them to an assassin to kill the son of the king's hand?
Hmmm, it's almost as if it's so stupid that it looks as if someone is trying to frame someone....

For all of its faults, ASOIAF is one of the most meticulously crafted epics and there's a reason why it's basically the modern blueprint of fantasy. There's almost no plot holes in it and everything has a logic to it.

>>22572617
>i am in desperate need of a good fantasy book
try Lord of Light

>>22572628
>how does Abraham compare to ASOIAF?
it's a fucking snoozefest
dropped it midway through the second book, because nothing was happening and I just didn't care anymore

the closest thing to ASOIAF I ever read is probably the witcher series, but even that is a big stretch. there's really nothing quite like it.
fuck your fat ass GRRM, where's my sixth book
TWELVE FUCKING YEARS

>>22572832
The closest thing to ASOIAF is Memory, Sorrow and Thorn because that's where GRRM took his ideas from.
Fact!

>>22572816
Where did what idea come from?

All of the things I like about fantasy seems to be the things that no one likes about fantasy, the more I dig deep into what fans like.
I want an epic world, but the world building should be organic and not done just solely for the sake of world building.
I want a healthy amount of characters. Focusing on a hero is boring as hell, but focusing on thousands of D&D cutouts is boring too.
I hate action and battles. It bores me to tears and I fall asleep when they happen. It feels like I'm reading anime or Marvel movies or some shit.
I want something that is a fantastical world, introspective, philosophical, basically like if Proust wrote fantasy. Which I don't think exists yet.

Basically I want something like ASOIAF, but minus the Machiavellian political intrigue bullshit.

>>22572836
I have no idea why do people keep repeating this meme.
1. Memory, Sorrow and Thorn feels NOTHING like ASOIAF. It is much closer in style and structure to LOTR if anything.
2. Memory, Sorrow and Thorn is SHIT. Boring preachy pointless garbage.

>>22572840

>>22572846
Yeah I asked someone else about what I want to get out of fantasy and they recommended this series as well.
But I heard it has cuck shit and that might be a no from me dawg.

>>22572761
Sounds great. Where do I find it?

>>22572851

>>22572868
https://novel18.syosetu.com/n8383bs/

>>22572843
They repeat the meme because to them superficial details matter more than substance. ASoIaF shares many superficial similarities to MST, do even though they're otherwise completely different dimwits think they're the same.

>>22572851
I'd recommend you try Le Guin's Earthsea stuff but sadly those books are probably too woke for you since they're all about genderbending

>>22572832
>TWELVE FUCKING YEARS

>>22572832
GRRM will keep working on Wildcards until you like it.

>>22572887
>genderbending
Name a worse tag, I'll wait

>>22572832
>there's really nothing quite like it.
/lit/ likes to shit on Martin because he's popular (fat pink mast, the more she drank, etc.), but i feel the same way you do. i don't think any series has ever engrossed me as ASOIAF did when i was reading it the first time and it unironically kills me that it's not getting finished. i just hope he puts out at least one more Dunk&Egg story
seriously, wtf do i read to alleviate this craving?

>>22572909
Have you considered reading his other books and short stories?

>>22572887
Why does literally every series have some bullshit like this though? Like, why can't there be one series not written by a complete degenerate?

>>22572914
not really, since i'm not particularly interested in scifi (which i understand is what he was mostly known for before ASOIAF), although i might try it at some point to combat the withdrawal. i once came across a description of picrel and it sounded interesting, is it any good?

>>22572904
better a faggot than a furry, no homo

>>22572746
Are dragons involved in the love triangle or gay sex?

>>22572909
ASOIAF got me back into reading and I too feel that it is unironically a masterpiece. There is stuff going on in it that other fantasy writers don't touch with a 40 foot pole, or if they do, fuck up royally. Martin is the only writer that truly understood character's inner monologues and to this day, Martin is the only fantasy writer that actually knows how to write dialogue. He understood that world building is important, but also that world building should not be the story. I can go on.
ASOIAF is basically a perfect storm of everything coming together flawlessly, and even in its unfinished state it shits on everything else. AI will finish it in a few years so don't worry.

As for similar things, I recommend non-fantasy. Not trolling. ASOIAF caused me to get super into experimental prose, poetry, literature that played around with language and where the story took a back seat. The POV aspect of ASOIAF is what triggered this.
I mentioned it in another post, but you should read Proust. It's basically the "serious literature" version of ASOIAF. Also maybe The Fairie Queene by Edmund Spenser or The Prelude by Wordsworth.

>>22572923
It's ok. Not anywhere near as good as ASOIAF or Dunk&Egg, but passable.
Armageddon Rag is shit.
I remember Dying of the Light being pretty good, if you can ignore typical first-novel issues.
Some of his short stories are also quite good. A Song for Lya is my favorite

>>22572940
No, the love triangles are just boring teenagers arguing over who gets to fuck the girl and the girl fucking everyone she feels like because she is le empowered womyn

>>22572919
I know, right? Why is it called A Wizard of Earthsea when its just about a tranny dilating for 50 pages and then having sex with two black men while pontificating on the evils of the patriarchy?

>>22572583
Soulcatcher...

>>22572909
>wtf do i read to alleviate this craving?
Wish I knew. I'm not particularly picky about the genre, it could be scifi or historical or whatever, but I'd love to get my hands on a giant epic story that has some depth to it and actually makes me care about the characters.
Maybe I should try some of those classical French doorstoppers.

>>22572964
>I'd love to get my hands on a giant epic story that has some depth to it and actually makes me care about the characters
unironically War&Peace

>>22572909
Things got better for me when I stopped this idea of "I need to read something similar to X". Now I just try to enjoy different stories as much as I can

>>22572909
>>22572964
If historical fiction is sufficient, The Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon

>>22572983
i'm the first guy you replied to and i actually read and LOVED these books as a kid, maybe that's why ASOIAF clicked so well for me

I read the first couple of chapters of The Mech Touch. I can't fathom why

i remember reading a book called something like the nobody about a guy who lives an underachiever life with his loser girlfriend getting a job at an office, and then people at the office give him bullshit work like filing documents and number crunching, and the people with "real" jobs like the programmers and managers are just shitting on him for being such a loser even though he was never told what his job was


anyone know what book im talking about? its not really scifi or fantasy but i didnt wanna make a whole thread for it.

>>22574132
I didn't mind it at first but he randomly turns from a guy who likes building mechs to someone who wants to do space genocide after like 100 chapters
and that's before the 800 chapter war arc even starts

One is an ancient culture that has no bearing on the present day. The other is current day entertainment. It's not a categorical imperative. It's not an absolutist statement. Did you know that the 4chan rules differ based on the board? The context of which board you're posting on matters.

Have you ever read a fantasy novel with a good whodunnit/murder mystery element?
I've always found them really predictable. However that might just be the nature of mystery novels in general because they're often pretty obvious on how the killer is too and instead focus on making the method the mystery.

>>22574687
So no context, got it.

Books aren't meant to be puzzles.

>>22574699
You asked why it wasn't acceptable in the latter situation. The answer is the context is different. That doesn't mean it's how it ought to be. It's just why it is.

>>22574708
Not really though. It's just basic feminist hypocrisy.

A shame Faerie Queen is never discussed here. Despite its age, it's still one of the most kino fantasy stories ever told.

>Poetry
absolutely disgusting

>>22574654
book snobbery in my /lit/???? it's more likely than you think

>>22574770
Virtually all of fantasy originates from some form of poetry or myth. Maybe you can try finding a pop-up book version of the story. That seems more your speed.

>>22574788
It's well-known poetry is the lowest and most puerile form of creative expression. Stories having origins in them does not mean poetry is good, it merely means poetry was the twitching larvae that eventually evolved into the majestic butterfly - a real story.

>>22574655
Part of the problem is that you can almost hear the sound of heavy breathing when most writers try to do National Geographic nudity; they're fooling no one. That doesn't give feminists the right to give such authors a hard time but it does make the average bystander feel ambivalent about who's in the wrong.

>>22574802
You should see what some women write

Read Bakker.

>It's well-known poetry is the lowest and most puerile form of creative expression.
Truth by consensus is for faggots and midwits. Which one are you?

>Stories having origins in them does not mean poetry is good
It's a good thing that wasn't the point being made.

>poetry was the twitching larvae that eventually evolved into the majestic butterfly- a real story

>>22574788
So what if it originates from poetry? All literature originates from crude pictures carved on some old rocks in some desert somewhere. Should I now regard that as a highest forms of literature? no, because it's garbage

Why do you think an asian wrote it?

Is it me, or does this become kinda boring in book 3?

>>22575115
Never heard of it. Tell me about this series of books.

>>22575111
Because, anon, asian writing tends to have a certain.. smelly smell.

>>22573750
Because Bakker is an irrelevant nobody you got memed into reading by a discord posse shitposting in this general.

>>22575122
It was recommended in a previous thread when someone asked for books taking place in a magic school. The anon who recommended this mentioned this was about a martial school. The first book is mostly about that, the second book is about pirates and a decent read imo, the third just bores me for various reasons and there's still two more books to go.The first book goes heavy into linguistic shit at the beginning but past that it's also a decent read.

>>22575134
I like school settings, so I think I'll give this a shot. I'm running out books to read anyhow since I'm waiting on the next installment for 4 different authors at the moment, not even counting you-know-who, who hasn't released a certain book for over a decade.

>>22575128
>appealing to popularity

>>22575128
>you got memed
The same person is behind most of the spam for that author.

>>22575115
I think I actually lost interest a bit halfway through book 2
Did go back to it later and carry on reading though.

Also Sherwood Smith is a female! I guess I was wrong about the cover but that doesn't change much lol
I like how it took two fucking paragraphs for them to mention her gender.

Reading Faerie Tale by Feist at the moment. It's cool

I have read it, and I did very much enjoy it. I've also read Black Magician trilogy, another good magic school series, or at least I think of it as one, though only the second book really fits the description.

Just dropped
>The First Law book 2
I don't think I've ever read something with a popularity:quality ratio this wide.

This is like a 3/5 series, maybe a light 4 if you like the characters. How the fuck is this one of the most popular series among fantasy fans? I don't understand.

>>22575228
I found it bizarre. I picked it up as a teenager after reading Magician and a bunch of his other Midkemia stuff, and was surprised at the raw amount of sexual content in it, like he was letting out all the pent up lust he kept in check writing his pretty tame fantasy stuff.

>>22575282
I had the same reaction years ago when I first tried reading Abercrombie. His popularity continues to baffle me.

>>22575219
Could've just checked goodreads, literally has a picture of her on her page there.

>>22575291
I don't like that website.

>>22575278
I think it's one tops. 4chan generals have a 10+ year history of consistent hyper-spergs who camp out for years at a time and try to dominate any and all discourse.

>>22575302
Neither do I, but authors love it so it's often the best way to quickly check their personal details since they post their life story on it most of the time.

there's no humility in the writing or characters, everybody is overly confident and ruthless
you can tell by the way gu master or whatever speaks so highly of himself like he is some sort of a god and the character that interacts with him just easily impresses him without any struggle and everything is done for a shitty female

So I finally got around to getting Hyperion, what am I in for?

>>22575849
a good story
the later books are good too but not as good as the first novel

How's this read?

>>22576341
1st one would've ended on a horrible cliff that way. 2nd was weak but should've just wrapped the story up - and frankly, it kinda does. I don't feel like I'm missing anything crucial after finishing it.

>>22572617
Book of the new sun is good, but I guess its sci-fi

>>22576539
It's not a cliffhanger, it's an open end. The reader could imagine they got happy endings or maybe the Shrike killed them all, and there' be no need to dilute anything.

>>22576184
This question gets asked and answered in every thread.

that's it, im starting to read books released in 2020's, maybe I can find a few gemmies to shill here with my superior taste

>>22576585
so we agree its just malazan fags wanting to talk about malazan but maybe not knowing what exactly to talk about so pretend to be someone interested in the malazan series.

>>22576801
No, I think it's people parroting something for attention. If I wanted to talk about Malazan I'd say something like Mallick the Merciful did nothing wrong.

Needs to be edited, and formatted, but the core of it is not bad (especially if it's a first draft). I highlighted some things you can change, but not all is necessary. I don't think I did the best job of it, but try and clean up that top-middle part. You say Velest back to back four times.

Recommend me good cyberpunk from the last few years, more dystopia the better.

>>22571793
Red Rising, #1 - Pierce Brown (2014)

Red Rising is a wish fulfillment revenge fantasy. The Hunger Games is a common comparison, which to me is only valid in that they're both dystopias with youths vs youths. Why this is a such a common comparison is a different discussion. The Will of the Many is compared to Red Rising, which also has many differences, but it's closer.

Darrow, the protagonist, is truly amazing in how much he's able to accomplish. This isn't competency porn though, because his successes aren't primarily because of his own actions. Darrow considers himself to be self-made man, which is ironic. He's one of the least interesting characters and it's only told from his perspective. I would hope this would make it easier to see that the protagonist's perspective needn't be the dominant narrative, others have their own stories, but it only hints at that. It could be argued this is all to show Darrow's steady growth, but to me it was more a series of discrete transformations. There's a lot of dissonance, but that's mostly left unexplored.

What I found most strange was whether its style was intentional or by coincidence. There are flashes of being more meaningful and providing a worthwhile discussion, but that's all there ever is. I don't know if that was me reading too much into it, or if there was anything there. I kept thinking there would be something more to it, some greater reveal, some deeper level of complexity, but in this first book at least it's played entirely straightforward at the surface level. That's my fault for expecting otherwise. Regardless, I can't argue with its commercial success. If the author had pursued anything more substantial it probably wouldn't have been anywhere as successful.

This is a science fiction book, but for most of the time I felt that it may as well have been a description of some war campaign from the middle ages or even older. I thought there would be a bit more academic stuff, but it turned out that aside from a single exam it wasn't present at all. There's a lot that doesn't really follow science fiction, fantasy, or speculative fiction in general. It presents itself as such, but that's mostly decorative. The ideal audience for this may be young adults who are only casually interested in SFF, and who are put off by having too much of either. That's certainly a much wider audience. That being said there's also a strange amount of neologisms that seem reminded me of Golden Age pulp SF, which was confusing. Maybe he intended to go after all audiences. He was successful regardless.

Despite all that, I found this to be rather amusing in its absurdity. It definitely goes for the dramatics. I would've enjoyed it much less if I hadn't quickly given up on taking it seriously in any way. I don't dislike the content so much as how it's presented. I'll be reading the second book because supposedly it changes a lot. Maybe I'll be surprised.

Rating: 3/5

Book #1/10 of my ratings contest

Do you think we are getting more books set in Westeros after Ice and Fire is over or do you think GRRM is done with that universe while putting out a prequel here and there every now and then I think we will get a sequel at some point but I don't know what could the conflict be if nobility/power structure in ASOIAF is going to fall apart

>>22577069
Anon he's going to die without finishing another ASOIAF book

For the court intrigue aspect of ASOIAF you should look into historical fiction.

What I don't understand is the exact nature of the bait. Sanderson and Cuckfuss are clearly there to elicit a response, but why GGK and Tad Williams?

>>22577075
>are the witcher books any good?
I like the one where it's just a compilation of shorter stories and adventures.
>Any books like LOTR??
No, if by "like LOTR" you mean that they have the spirit and soul of Tolkien.
>will slob Martin ever finish winds of winter???
probably not
>Any books like fallout/metro?

>Any books where the mc gets cucked?
Well, Witcher, for one. Don't remember more.
>is the Eisenhorn trilogy a good place to start with W40k???
Codices are. But Eisenhorn is probably fine. I found it ok even before knowing what 40K really was. Not that Warhammer is that interesting.
>Soulcatcher or Lady who is the better waifu?
Soulcatcher, unless you are Glen Cook.

>>22577106
Couldn't say, few that would fit a bill that I have read likely don't even have English translations. You will just have to look for that on your own. I prefer to read about history itself, over reading historical fiction.

Can I read The Silmarillion first without harming the reading experience of the other books? Every faggot I see outside of this board says you should read the original trilogy first because it's not as difficult to understand, but what if you're not a complete retard?

>>22577158
Why would you ever read a series outside of publication order? Don't read Silmarillion first moron.

>>22577158
>Hey guys, I want to read a bunch of unfinished notes compiled by the author's son after his death instead of the actually edited prose novel

You added the Hobbit. That was never part of my question.

The Lord of The Rings = Fellowship of The Ring (1), Two Towers (2), and Return of The King (3). How fucking retarded are you?

>>22577258
Actually, it's
The Fellowship of the Ring: Book One
The Fellowship of the Ring: Book Two
The Two Towers: Book Three
The Two Towers: Book Four
Return of the King: Book Five
Return of the King: Book Six
+ appendices
But of course you couldn't know this since you never read the book (The Lord of the Rings I mean)
At any rate there is no trilogy

>>22577332
Tolkien treated it as one book though.

>>22577341
And the publisher rightly told him to fuck off.

The publisher had no paper to print it as one book.

I looked through the recommended in the meganz and couldn't really find anything related. Can I get some recommendations for Dark Fantasy? To give an idea of what I've tried:

First Law Series + Standalones: actually really liked it toward the end but it's very low on the Fantasy part, and not really any horror elements or anything that I originally associate with 'Dark'

Manifest Delusions: Pretty good but teeters on being over-the-top comical grimdark, luckily avoided going there though

Black Company: hard to keep up with sometimes but very enjoyable especially the military-related interactions are very believable

Witcher series: lol

Elric of Melnibone: got half way through and couldn't continue, has no builds up, pay offs, development, anything. It seems like a giant series of "and then this happens" over and over

The King in Yellow: I feel like this doesn't even count but people told me to anyway. It was alright, wish it wasn't a bunch of somewhat unrelated short stories

The Dark Tower: After book 4 I started to not like it, but I don't think this even counts for this genre.

It would be nice to read something that leans slightly into a horror element, but maybe my idea of dark fantasy is just wrong. I apologize in advance for being genre retarded. I have had people recommend Lies of Locke Lamora, Blackwing series, stuff by Cormac McCarthy, continuining Black Company because there's al ot more for it, Malazan, etc. I'd also take recommendations for anything "dark", I just like the edginess and grittyness of those types of books. Not over-the-top shit like 40K though, that does nothing for me.

I read 'The Belonging Kind' earlier, enjoyed it. Anything else by John Shirley that's worth reading?

>>22577762
Throne of Bones. NOT the vox day one.

>>22577762
War for the Rose Throne

>>22577775
I see two that aren't Vox Day. One by Brian McNaughton and one by a bunch of people as part of the Frostborn series. Is it pic related? Also what's your particular reason for liking it?

>>22577786
Oh, I forgot to mention that one as well but I also had it recommended to me. What's your particular reason for liking it?

>>22577788
McNaughton.
>reason for liking it?
Lovecraft meets Tolkien.

>>22577788
It's about a crime lord's ascent to power. Whenever magic is involved it tends to be horrific. There's a few other times where it could called a bit horror-ish. It's definitely dark.

>>22577762
Those are questionable for being dark fantasy, but here are some suggestions.

A Harvest of Ash and Blood
The Fifth Season
Gideon The Ninth
Priest of Bones

>>22577789
>>22577803
thank you both, I will add these to my list!

>>22577812
again sorry for being genre retarded. I'm new to it and it seems extremely hard to figure out what is and isn't dark fantasy. Like, some places online have vampire romance novels as dark fantasy. The way reviewers and youtube channels and whatever else describe the books I have tried have made them all SOUND really dark, but perhaps it is only dark in comparison to the marvel-esque stuff that they all eat up, like Sanderson stuff, which doesn't seem to be up my alley. You and the other anon both recommend Priest of Bones though so I will definitely try that one. I'll look into your other recommendations now. Any of these in particular you like, and why?

>>22572564
>strokes look natural
Retard. Style transfer was already solved in like 2017. AI still struggles with generating detail like fingers, frills on people in the background and random filler text from proompts but it will nail texture.

>>22572655
How will Idris Elba play a 7 year old blonde brat?

>>22577821
Not a problem. Throne of Bones is my favorite short horror collection. You may also enjoy The Bone Mother (russian folk-taley feel.)
>dark fantasy and definitions
Look, in any fanbase you're always going to get 12/yo girls talking about how "OMGeezers Naruto is a super serious anime" or "Harry Potter is high-tier fantasy." Learn to look past them. It's also a very loosely defined genre.

The elenium trilogy by david eddings, DarkOver has a lot of that but thats because Marion Zimmer Bradley was a pedo. it has some ss too

Here is how I see Ice and Fire ending :
Tyrion will murder Daenerys after finding out she intends to set off the fire underneath the keep mirroring Jaime/Aerys
Jorah becomes the 1000th Lord Commander after the wall is repaired
Daenerys goes mad after Aegon falls in love with Sansa seeing the public praise them while fearing she might never be able to fully restore the Targaryen dynasty causes her to snap she essentially becomes Robert
Jaime(Azor) will wind up killing Bran(The Great Other)
Jon if a Targaryen's real name is Aemon. Jon will make peace with The Others through a marriage pact and head deeper north with them as per the agreement never to return
Arya winds up stealing Sansa' face and lives out the rest of her life in her body

>>22578433
>I guess I'm just a sardonic sort of guy. I think it probably still is a word I over-use, but not quite as much as I did! Sardonic also implies an element of self-mockery, which is a quality Elric has and which to some extent you'll find in my style, too, though perhaps ironic is a better word there. If you can use it in your style it means you are in a sense telling more than one story in the same breath, or at least offering more than one interpretation of the same actions or statements. It suits Elric's character particularly well, since the poor bugger isn't always sure whether he's bowling or batting, as we say in cricket terminology.... :)

>With the Black Company I took advice from Fritz Leiber who was my mentor and who said “Don’t draw a map because if you draw a map, as soon as you start drawing the map, you start narrowing your possibilities”. As long as you don’t have a map you don’t have to conform to certain things. I have a vague map inside my head and I’ve seen many maps on the internet of what people thought the Black Company world might be like. They’re not too far off, but they’re not close either. It’s north and south with a pond in the middle.

Why does everyone from GRRM to Paolini hype this series up?

the what

>>22579195
Memory Sorrow and Thorn

It was the only game in town at the time it came out, Wheel of Time only started during the end of it

>Why does everyone from GRRM to Paolini hype this series up?
Because they love misery porn.

>>22579166
wholesome chungus faggots should keep themselves to anime

Lack of religious themes in stories makes me instantly want to drop the story. Same for religious themes that are too heavy or preachy.

What should I read?

>>22579421
You should write.

>>22579005
I get where he's coming from, but a detailed map after the series was finished would be cool
Then again he was too busy having orgies to worry about maps

>>22579426
No time.

Bros give me a new series to read. I'm burnt out on mordern grimdark shit. I'm in the mood to read something fun, with parties going into dungeons to get macguffins then getting drunk at the tavern afterwards. Bonus if it has giant amazon bodybuilder barbarians who can crush my skull with their thighs.

Anyone read this series? I've heard its good.

I find it strange when anons ask for very specific books as if they were porn and they needed an exact requirement of fetishes to enjoy them.

New!

lmao very based.. and checked. Gosling could unironically do a good Kellhus since Gosling plays "flat" pretty well. I don't know about Cruise as Achamian. What are using to generate these images?
