>coming of age

I don't fucking see the appeal of this whole genre. Who wants to read a story about a kid being a dumbass and at the end of the novel becoming slightly less of a dumbass? Who wants to read about dumbasses at all?

>>	Anonymous Thu May 20 20:15:57 2010 No.693999 >>693986 You're in denial, young dumbass.

If you want to read stories about dumbasses in a fantasy setting, look no further than The Book of Three.

The main character is a dumbass pig farmer who tries to forge a horseshoe into a sword in 10 seconds, and the dumbass sidekick is a girl who bitches and moans about her bauble and fails at magic.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 20 21:09:57 2010 No.694198 I'd rather play a JRPG.
