I just started reading this and does the "muh stronk womyn" crap infest the whole series or does it get better ?

I gave up reading this do they really say Trolloc that much or does it get better?

[Anonymous No.11640116]

By "better" do you mean entire books dedicated to femdom dungeons which eventually get expanded to lezdom dungeons, as well as entire armies of slave-men doing war against matriarchal witch-nations whose master plan is to castrate all magic-using males?

If so, yes.

Are you serious, is it really that bad

I still can't believe they got a fucking mormon to finish this series, man. How did he not know what he was inheriting?

It gets worse and worse for thousands of pages and then better at the very end.

this isn't equivalent and you know it faggot
Even Howard's warrior women are still women, not merely men with tits. Valeria is limited in her martial ability by her femaleness.

>Aes Sedai rape dungeon

>ok what when where
>crazy desperate men slowly going insane while at war with world-ending evil not being pretty cool also phallic imagery what when where (though i don't know if that's a bad thing exactly anyway)
>what when where again

maybe i'm just not remembering a ton of this stuff. mostly the books were OK except the filler chapters where nothing happened but a lot of skirt smoothing (~half the series i'd guess at least)

Yo why does the dude with armor in the center have two swords on his back like a witcher?

[Anonymous No.11640570]

Because the cover artists don't coordinate with each other or read the books. You have no idea how fucking long I stared at this one as a kid trying to figure out which one was Mat and which one was Rand.

Speaking of Conan, how are Jordan's Conan pastiche novels?

Dude, did you not read the books or skip multiple sections that you thought were boring? Different anon who hasn’t read the books but I remember back in the day we used to have Wheel of Time threads when GoT was first coming out and all the WoT fanboys had to complain about how their series was better and anons would literally post screenshots of the pages where that guy was chained up and some chick would come in and be fluttering around him calling him her “precious pretty” or some shit.

That and the whole “bed mate” thing at the witch school where the older witches spank the younger ones and then they cuddle and cry with their room mates all night.

Honestly sounded pretty hot but I tried reading that first prequel novel and couldn’t get 10 pages into it. It was a chore.

Still a pretty good series.
