what did he do to even be noticed in the first place?

>> No.12969155

Simple writing style
Sex
Light pedo
He benefited from the success of fantasy after the lotr films
Cliffhanger style plot

>> No.12969160

He writes simple enough for plebs to understand with enough sex and gratuitous violence to keep them interested.

Same stuff that made people watch Game of Thrones. Marketing, sex appeal, violence, and drama that appeals to a wide range of people. If you want heroic nobility, see Ned or Jon Snow. If you want strong womyn, see Dany or Arya. If you want wit, see Tyrion.

I was also interested in how "visual" the novel was. I only read half of the first book, but it really focused on a description of the world, rather than a focus on internal emotions, or other non-visual senses.

Being a pedo and rapist amps up your portfolio in the field of media consumerism. So many of them fail and serve time , only few are lucky enough to earn eminence

He's no worse than most other contemporary fantasy genreshit and I'd argue better than a lot of it which is why

He's actually much better than his contemporaries. But this is not saying much. Fantasy is absolute crap now.

Marketing, 100% marketing. Your success or failure as a writer depends 100% on whether some whore at a publishing office decides she can make a buck off your shit or not. Daily reminder that thousands of masterpieces will never see the light of day because publishing whores don't think they'll sell to the average shitfaced NPC. What a planet.

>> No.12970379

He marked the end of fantasy as a genre. No writer can break that mould any longer. The modern world fantastical underground society-type novels are what you should keep an eye on.

>> No.12970390

Don't forget that he clearly has a scat fetish that he can't resist inserting into his books.

>> No.12970860

he's not even shitty, just a degenerate propagandist

Which explains why your character descriptions are of those on the show and not from the books.
