>what's some happy fantasy? like lotr, but just the shire and no evil shit?
I'm struggling to think of any. Not being mean, but maybe a children's fantasy or something. It's sort of hard to tell a story without some outside force or negativity to make you happier when the protagonists prevail. Pic related or Discworld make me happiest, but only because I was a kid when I first read them.

>they find themselves in
They specifically choose and put more effort than anything else in life to validate and make sure such systems operate as harmfully as possible.
Compare rockstars to speedrunners. Both are men putting in alot of effort to get good at something, but because women a long time ago decided that rockstars are "hot" or "cool" they will throw themselves at them with reckless abandon so their "mothers" can cry to the world about abuse. When the same eventually happens to speedrunners we will have to deal with "the long history of sexism in speedrunning" despite sexual abuse never being a problem before women started throwing themselves at speedrunners.
>insert meme of what happens when a casual joins your hobby
You can't watch women sexualize and idolize men in a space for years and year than act like men did something wrong and the women were helpless. There is no powerstructure beyond what power YOU give them. If you think rockstars are lame you than you won't be raped by one.

Because leftists love using fictional characters as their own personal soapboxes or straw-men so they assume everyone else does the exact same thing. They can't comprehend that a villainous character is simply villainous and not the writer projecting themselves or their politics into the character.

Carter
>His touch both consoles and devastates me; I feel my heart pulse, then wither, naked as a stone on the roaring mattress while the lovely, moony night slides through the window to dapple the flanks of this innocent who makes cages to keep the sweet birds in. Eat me, drink me; thirsty, cankered, goblin-ridden, I go back and back to him to have his fingers strip the tattered skin away and clothe me in his dress of water, this garment that drenches me, its slithering odour, its capacity for drowning.

Calder
>The stretch limousine turned amphibious at the Ploenchit Road. Conscious but immobile, my eyes like fused gas, I stared, unblinking, through the spray-fueled windscreen at the cleft black water of the Klong.
>Awakened by a thousand dogs, a passing truck, the tailspin of a poisoned mosquito (or, perhaps, merely the silence of my dreams), I had, before remembering who and where I was, seen only that green sun suspended in the firmament of my room (her uterus bottled in preserving fluids) and, through seconds that became millennia, millennia aeons, felt the steadfastness of my orbit around that cold glow of love, a marvelous fatal steadfastness, before my pupils dilated and shadows and unease once more defined reality, the steel box naked but for a mattress and insomnious bugs where I had lived, in a coma of heartbreak and drunkenness, the six months since Primavera's death.

It is kinda weird that aoc isn't determined by first period. I mean it's literally a biological sign that you are ready for sex, why do laws ignore it and focus on politics and junk science? The only "power" 18-24 year old adult men have over young women is that they make their cunts gush harder than the tiny dicked nerds in their class.

At the time, it annoyed me to read the word "Hhrghn" because I thought it was amateurish. It reminded me of my own shitty writing when I was in my 20s.

But I'll concede that I enjoyed Dune series, Riverworld, and some William Gibson recently.

Maybe Hyperion is like those: not written very well, but conceptually interesting and worth finishing.

Slow Bullets - Alastair Reynolds (2015)

Scurelya Timuk Shunde is a conscripted soldier who is being tortured to death, though that's interrupted. Whatever else else that happens is skipped over and she's awakened from a hibernation pod knowing nothing of her circumstances. She, and others, still have their slow bullets to remind of them their identity. A slow bullet is similar to a military dog tag, except it's stored internally and contains extensive biographical data about the soldier. Their prior identities may no longer be relevant, but in the absence of any other source of meaning, will it drive all of their behavior?

Slow Bullets is explicitly a message fiction novella about what knowledge is worth preserving and how what we know is related to our personal identity. Extreme measures are taken to conserve what little can be of what's known. It puts forth that maintaining cultural knowledge may be more important than literally anything else. The story doesn't start that way, but eventually it becomes more and more reductive to that's what it's only about. I suppose then that it's fitting that the reader's experience is similar to that of the characters. When the story begins it could be about anything, and when the characters awaken knowing nothing about their situation, anything could've happened. As they and the readers learn more, the possibilities steadily decrease until there's only a single one that remains.

This novella had a strong start and could've explored many interesting and exciting ideas, but instead it became increasingly insular and fixated upon a few ideas that I found dull. It's a bait and switch in that many readers would be expecting an epic space opera or at least a character study in the nature of identity, but instead find themselves with a lecture on knowledge preservation. The characters become less complex and developed as the narrative progresses because their actions are restricted both by their situation and by the message being delivered. The message that cultural knowledge, science especially, must be spread to as many people as possible, even in the face of extreme despair and adversity until your dying breath was overly much. If that seems like an obsessive, if not religious impulse, then I wouldn't disagree. Whether religion ought to be preserved is a major point of contention.

As I was writing this I found myself becoming more and more disappointed in what I had read. Not angry, simply disappointed that a premise I liked and that the fun possibilities and mystery it represented turned out to be so narrowly focused on a singular dogmatic ideal. There's initially more to it than that, and that's worth reading, but I don't know whether it's worth reading overall. That makes rating much more difficult. For me, it's core ideal wasn't nearly enough relative to what else could've been written about instead. I'm clearly bitter about this, but you may not be.

Rating: 2.5/5 (3)

12 Miles Below

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/42367/12-miles-below

The world is in ruins.

Extreme sub-zero temperatures suffocate the surface, making even simple survival an ordeal. Frozen derelicts of bygone eras span across massive ice wastes. And the survivors closely guard any technology rediscovered within.

The only escape from the deadly climate is beneath the surface. But it’s another disaster underground. Monstrous machines lurk in the depths. Unhinged demigods war against them, dying over and over, treating it all like a game. The land itself shifts over time, more contraption than rock. And an ominous prophecy states that the key to everything waits on four heroes - but nobody knows who or where they are.

When an expedition into the far uncharted north goes terribly wrong, Keith Winterscar and his father get trapped together in a desperate fight for survival. Stumbling upon an ancient war of titanic scale; the two will need to set their differences aside while they struggle against Gods, legends, and the grand secrets of the realm that lies below.

Now we interrupt your regularly scheduled newfag screeching and babbling at one another, in order to present some choice uncensored and raw excerpts from the popular classic title Martian Time Slip by Philip K. Dick.

>"But," Arnie said, "I got more on my mind than melons. We had one of those UN boys visiting us the other day protesting our regulations concerning the niggers. Or maybe I shouldn't say that; maybe I should talk like the UN boys and say 'indigenous population remnants,' or just Bleekmen.

>Now they were above the desert, moving at good speed toward the intersect which the UN announcer had given. Bleekmen niggers, Arnie thought. We have to drop everything we're doing to bail them out, the damn fools--can't they trot across their own desert? Haven't they been doing it without our help for five thousand years?

>Walking over to the ship, Jack called up to the big baldheaded man seated within, "Doesn't it make you feel good to know you saved the lives of five people?"
>The bald-headed man looked down at him and said, "Five niggers, you mean. I don't call that saving five people. Do you?"

And my personal favorite:
>With resentment and aversion he loosened her fingers from his arm and pushed her aside. "And that nutty nigger in the kitchen; Christ! Is he baking some witch-doctor brew in there? He's been going for hours!"

I just finished The Judging Eye. My favourite character was the non-retard twin. Loved the chapter where he murders his twin. I feel like writing a short story with a truly psychopathic protag. Any other decent fantasy with a really evil MC? I've heard there's tons of good CAS stories like this, but I've not got round to reading him yet.

I want to start to read in english. I only read in spanish because it's my first language, I know I'm capable of reading classics in english if I put the enough effort, but I'd like to start with something easy to read just to get myself comfortable. Fantasy is usually easy to read or at least that's what people say.

Recommend me fantasy books that are not too hard to read. I was thinking in Mistborn because I heard a lot of good things about it or Hyperion because I got a second-hand copy of its sequel.
The only fantasy author I've ever read was Tolkien, if that helps.

I wouldn't say that's the case. I've been reading fantasy for over 20 years and I still love it. There's series that I have reread several times, and still love to read as a comfort. I still pick up brand new series and occasionally find things I love, by authors I've never read. The only real difference is that I'm no longer indiscriminate about what I like. That is the key difference between a young person's enthusiasm for genre fiction, and an older fan's abiding love for it.

Evil, scheming characters are common in xianxia, but usually the writing and translation are very poor. RI is actually good, certainly better than most fantasy (not a high bar).

I gave up completely this year. I've been waiting for Winds of Winter since 2016. If we didn't get WoW in 2020 during the pandemic, it's more than likely we will get it in a decade more (and that's hoping that old Georgie, God bless him, doesn't croak).

I am also curious about Sam's storyline. Here's a few more I'm interested in:
>Davos's quest to find Rickon
>Jaime and Lady Stoneheart
>Jon and the mutiny
>Bran and the weirwood network

There's still a debate about whether Heinlein was being sincere or not. Some people thought the satire of militarism and fascism was already in the book, but that his detractors took it way too seriously. And the "humour" of the movies is far too postmodern, closer to watching Simpsons or Family Guy than the dryness of 50s prose that Heinlein used.

We can just call "rape" the nicer term of "consensual non-consensual" which is already quite prevalent. "Rape" is just a socially and culturally loaded term, but women do want to have rough sex where they at least roleplay as being powerless. It's because they give up responsibility and get to enjoy themselves without stigma or guilt.

Probably because it isn't that great overall.
I don't recall much of Malazan really justifying the length of the books. A bit of cool imagery with a few of the warrens like Dragnipur but overall the books grated on me with all the pov shifts and how he liked to introduce ancient races and new conflicts without resolving most of them.

Because plebs only read the surface level top Goodreads fantasy, fantasyonly reader's complain about how hard is malazan because they never read a real book in their lives.
And no, malazan isn't that good but it also isn't as bad as the chuddies Say either.
