Masters of rome is genuinely the best historical fiction I've ever read, not even the op OR the shill anon. But he should really take it elsewhere, if he's looking to get a reaction by spamming off topic he'd get a bigger reaction on /his/ anyways

[Anonymous No.12491517]

Today I executed better than ever, for the first time I breathed through my bose from the start, and I kept calm and did it throughout. But I guess nervousness from it being a bit bigger than any before was too much cause I gagged worse than ever before, even if objectively it wasn't harder on my uvula than previous ones. It goes to show that just as much as expertise, confidence and mind over matter is important to get a job done.

The worst part about his shilling is that he can't or won't answer when you ask him what's so great about the book. I was genuinely interested and asked him a few times to describe what the book does well without using too many adjectives but all I got was *crickets*. That convinced me that he either hasn't read it or he has and is just memeing something terrible like the maas fag.

I believe BRANDON SANDERSON has a foot fetish. My reason for believing this is because I have a foot fetish so I pick up on things most humans do not. Take for instance the ever shitty House of Cards. Now, I do not like this show (House of Cards) but I did sit through 4 seasons of that crap hoping it would get better, and in that time I noticed numerous examples of blatant foot fan service. It is a good fetish to pander to because it occupies a gray area due to the lack of nudity, which is why its perfect for a guy like BRANDON SANDERSON. Reading Mistborn, I can't help but notice how many times we are reminded of Vin's cute bare footedness. She's barefoot on the roof, toes clutching the edge. She's barefoot on cobblestone, only to walk on marble. Vin walked to his bed BAREFOOT, making no sound. Of course the obvious explanation (for the mundane majority of men) is that Vin is a Mistborn -- a thief -- and strives to remain quiet. She has to make lots of sacrifices due to the magneto magic of BRANDON SANDERSON'S world, such as never wearing toe rings or anklets (unless they are wooden or something) but I do not believe this is the sole reason for the foot prose on display in these books. The author (BRANDON SANDERSON) has fueled my spirit with his depiction of Vin. I have a hard time getting through the pages when I keep seeing examples of her beautiful foot-based dexterity, yet its these very passages that push me further on. I see visions of Vin toying with Elend, giving her man a royal footjob that any king would crave with her expertly trained toes. I think about Vin embarrassed, painting her toe nails to match her dress while Zane watches from the window. I think about her wearing glass slippers to show off her new feminine toes at the balls! Oh what a sight to behold! I am not even on the third book so I can't begin to imagine how much footy goodness is still to come. Anyway, these are my reasons for suspecting BRANDON SANDERSON has a foot fetish.

I understood that. They were isolated, ignorant and superstitious, that messes with a people. I mean in this day and age asians believe that near extinct animals raises there virility, and that eating the fins of sharks cure cancer. Then there are people in Klapistan that believe that if you pull out before ejaculation you can't get pregnant, and that going directly from an anus to a vagina doesn't cause serious infections. If people today with access to so much information is ignorant, what you expect from an isolated tribe that focuses on better the body and not rhe mind?

The protagonist focusing on a literal whore is what also rubbed me the wrong way. And now that I literally read hundreds of books after wise man's fear, I don't know if I want to read doors of stone.

If a story started with the main character falling through a crack in the earth and landing in the land of the dead, would it feel like a cop-out or betrayal of concept if it was revealed midway through that it wasn't actually the afterlife, but one of many previous worlds, each of which was built over the ruins of the previous one and then destroyed by a different cataclysm?

Because despite being part of the House of Chains, he's the character that's consistently the most unchained and unbound. Really idk.

I think it's a trophy since he beheaded some hounds of darkness at the end of HoC.

I think this is still a mystery, but closely tied to the Azath houses.

Why do you hate rothfuss and scream to everyone that he is a hack? If I can't hate kvothe for specific reasons, you can't hate rothfuss for writing a book.

[Anonymous No.12497140]

I think you guys are greatly underestimating how many books you need to have read in order to make an accurate recommendation. If someone loves book x it might take years to find a book y that's similar. Even the perfect book chart might take years to curate and I don't know about you anons but book characters are like seasonal waifu/husbando to me (in fact moreso because sometimes I will watch anime with a cast of characters who I am not particularly attached to but I will not read a book if I am not rooting for at least one of them).

You find a great book, shill it for a month or a week and then feel really shit that you might never find a book as good as it ever again and so you pick up another book. Immediately, the main villain is so much more deserving of headpats, the main character is the creme de la creme, the supporting cast have motivations that are unmatched, the worldbuilding is superb and you don't even notice the prose because you're seeing it in your head. Then you get to the end of the book, feel miserable that you'll never read another as good as it and then you pick up another good one.

And so the shill cycle begins again and so you get this funny thing called recency bias and you think to yourself, woe is me, anon might like that other book more but don't forget book x is the one I'm currently married to, friendship with book y ended a year back and so anon never gets the best recommendation ever. Other people are faithful as a fuck or don't read much and will do it for free. They find it in themselves to shovel the same series to everyone no matter what they ask for. Other people will fuck whatever hand that feeds unlimited free ARCs comes in their radius and others are paid shills/LITERALLY the author. Also people have different tastes.

That, my friends are why all recommendations suck and why needle in the haystack searching bare feet, socks in sandals etcetera etcetera abracadabra technobabble good luck rolling those 1% 5 star books, anon-sama!

Not that anon but you don't see Brandon deciding to make entire filler about elf sex and then cease publishing books for a decade to avoid having to write any plot. That Rick and Morty D&D book isn't even going to be a story, it will be nothing more a glorified wikipedia summary.

Brandon has the work ethic to write his own books, puts a meter on his website, has enough time to read other people's books AND to write reviews that aren't one liners and gives his fans updates on other social media. I'm sure that it wouldn't be a lot of effort on Brandon's part to drizzle his works pretentiously in thesaurus output to reduce the required density of plot to fill the pages. For some authors, you can sense when there is a rhythm to their prose and for others it's just a page stuffer. Rothfuss is not talentless but I think he isn't an ideas man and struggles to string together a workable plot that will deliver upon the vision that he promises. If you've been following this general for a long time, well it will not come as a surprise to you that a lot of these new and apparently promising authors cannot write followup books as they simply do not have the requisite ideas for the pages. A lot of the classical authors wrote standalone books, but modern publishers seem to demand trilogies and the authors respond by ensuring that the plot is stretched as thinly as possible and welded together by filler.

That's how you get less talented authors that fill their books with tea drinking, spontaneous sentient ships that didn't previously exist, characters that still distrust each other after a ridiculous number of books because they are mentally retarded and dragons turning people into reptilians and letting a character get tortured to mental retardation, killing them and then the rest of the cast jump into an inferno for reasons, a book full of wild elf sex filler and a book of tight vaginas (but luckily this wasn't the entire fucking book).

Which is a great segment. It having elf sex is a juvenile and arbitrary reason to dismiss it.
Rothfuss not releasing books AT BEST makes him a terrible person; it has no bearing on the quality of the books, it shouldn't bother anyone if the books are bad. Honestly elf sex part is one of the best in the books because it is the best segment for illustrating the functions of the fay world in the book, which is one of the better parts.

Nice!
Gollancz has all the ones you need in print
The series was not released chronologically, but Moorcock and everyone who's read them recommends that you forego the rule of publication order and read in chronological order for Elric
The series starts with Elric of Melnibone and other stories, and overall goes like this
>Elric of Melnibone
>Fortress of the Pearl
>The Sailor on the Seas of Fate
>Weird of the White Wolf (Contains three short stories: The Dreaming City, While the Gods Laugh, The Singing Citadel)
>The Sleeping Sorceress (also called Vanishing Tower)
>The Revenge of the Rose
>Bane of the Black Sword (Contains The stealer of Souls, Kings in Darkness, The Caravan of Forgotten Dreams)
>Stormbringer
You need to end on Stormbringer, it's so fucking satisfying now that everything Elric is out in chronological order and you can go through from start to finish and end on Stormbringer. Originally Stormbringer was released as one of the earlier Elric novels, but it bangs hard as fuck when you finish on it.
You can also instead choose to seek out "Tale of the Eternal Champion Vol 8" and "Tale of the Eternal Champion Vol 12" which collects all Elric stories "Main story" (All the books above) in chronological order. These are really easy to find online and pretty cheap depending on cover.

You don't need to read the whole series but if you don't read at least the first two Revelation Space books you'll probably get a bit confused by the Prefect. And Ely Fire is the second Prefect book.

So:

The Prefect references the first Rev space book and Chasm City (but you don't need to read the whole revelation space series to get it, but it's like trying to read the Foundation prequels before having read the Robot series both by Asimov, you won't understand what happens at the end or why it matters and it undermines the reveal).

Elysium Fire references the Prefect and the cast is largely the same between books.

Reynolds is a rare author. His books are creative and don't seem to run out of steam at all ever and they don't really have filler content. He does love worldbuilding though. Also Revelation Space (the book, not the series) is a bit shoddy in places but the second book is much better (in my opinion, the series gets better not worse).

>>12501121
>>12501796
Okay this is something I learned from writing fanfiction: try to avoid writing multiple stories at once and try and work on just the ONE STORY or else you'll never finish it. Also writing later at night works better for me as the words and the scenes just flow straight out of my brain. Also every time I run out of ideas I just read a new book which of course results in reading a ridiculous amount and having a ridiculous amount of ideas and then the writing output drops precipitously towards zero.

If you are easily distracted, try finding a short story collection with quality stories that you like and analysing what you liked out of them and writing your own short stories after reading them. A lot of them tend to have tweest endings.

For example, some of the short stories that I enjoy include "Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman, the Nine Billion Names of God and Liane the Wayfarer.

I'm sure that writing is something you get better by doing, analysing other people's works for flaws and comparing the difference between your own work and your favourite author's work will make you better.

long story short it's a cluttered, shallow isekkai series that I'm really only writing because I wanted to write it a while ago and now people expect me to finish it.

I have about three other ideas that are honestly better, but I'm not satisfied with any of them. One beats a thematic dead horse, one has an unlikable main character, and one should honestly be epic fantasy but I want it to be a retro scifi

You can still write it. Just treat it like a practice exercise or something. Also the magicians sucks the gayest, most AIDS ridden of cocks so... you can't do anything but improve upon it. Maybe write it as a fanfiction while you think of something else for your magnum opus.
