Bunch of Redditors maybe. Not the original readers, not mainstream audience, and certainly not the author himself.

I’m not ashamed at all, I enjoy comfy fantasy and I want more of it.

I want this, and I want Pat “how can I write knowing trump is in office” Rothfuss to finish the Kovothe books

But it won’t happen. GRRM is rich from
The show and no longer has motivation, and Rothfuss flat out said that he only wrote books so he could do what he really wants, which is write for nerd pop culture stuff like comics and video games.

It’s over

Serves those fat old fucks right, they'll both die and be forgotten within five years of their deaths.

>b-but they're rich

You can't take it with you. Money is left behind the instant you die, but if you create a great work of art, your name will still be remembered a thousand years from now, or even longer. There is no price too great to pay for immortality.

Honestly at this point the memes about it never coming out provide me with far more entertainment than the actual books. I love the idea of him being perpetually stuck because the TV show ruined all his ideas and he's not creative enough to come up with new ones, on top of being fat and lazy and addicted to jerking off. He is the ultimate endpoint of modern sci-fi and fantasy fiction, he is what happens when you degenerate from the heights of Tolkien and Asimov and Bradbury and Dunsany.

He's been stuck since the end of book 3. That's when the plot grinded to a halt. Books 4 and 5 were mostly just filler.

People think that's bad? David Gerrold has been at this game for almost 30 years by now. Although in his case I think it truly is for the better Cthorr stays memoryholed, because that literal faggot kike managed to ruin a perfectly fascinating sci-fi premise by inserting his faggotry at every opportunity. And that was back in the 90's. I shudder to think how emboldened he feels by today's climate.
