Looking for book recommendations similar to Planescape Torment.

The setting of the game really interests me as a fantasy world that, instead of being wondrous, is filled with danger and disgust.

I know this is a /v/ styled request, but I was told people here, especially in this were knowledgable in this.

Oberon, Titania, and the Faery Court took a prank too far and now they're on the run through space and time. They find refugees from the rebellion of Taira no Masakado on a planet that's being reborn as a world of mankind and decide the best way to hide is to settle here and act like they're humans.

In late Heian Japan, an abbess and a pirate did something, betrayal probably, that's going to send their karma to pound town till they've spent a gazillion reincarnations as bugs. Oberon's creditors hire them as spies, on the promise they can trick karma and get their sins blotted out. They need to cross the underworld to the place where Oberon is, pose as nobles, and ingratiate their way to his inner court, so the creditors can get their sweet revenge.

They pick up the narrator, a literate shrine priestess, to pad out their fake family and hopefully marry her off to improve their position, and also because they'll need all the spiritual help they can get crossing the underworld. She gains status having poetry competitions with the fairy city's other inhabitants, some of whom are Romantic poets reincarnated as fantastical creatures, in a vast convoluted tournament that involves trading binding certificates for favors, with the goal of challenging Titania herself.

Hoping to bring up themes of the fake becoming real and of redemption acting on those who think themselves irredeemable. I want to write some really Romanticist-inspired scenes of being overcome by nature, I think it'll mix well with mono no aware, and also have space for cute girls doing cute things.

The connection I made was for the fake parents to be working for Oberon's enemies, before that they were a glorified plot device to take our narrator places. Working title is The Jewel That Smashes The Hammer.

>That looks pretty cool.
It had a cool premise, and did well for like the first book. But being written by a woman she let her cunny get in the way.

You have to wade through pages of erotica to get plot and characters. Merry's vagina is versatile she can fuck large red caps(the dip their caps on the blood of their fallen enemies) and walk away afterwards. She even fucked chutulu's bastard love child and like the literal bitch she is she was able to bear multiple children at once and they all have different fathers... sometimes 2 fathers made one child... and then she goes back to stuffing her vagina

I advise you not to read it, i read shit like these so you guys don't have to.

No man, Liandrin is Red Ajah, which means she fucking hates men and especially men who can channel so she wouldn't put the moves on Rand. I won't spoil it tho.

The only complaint I have is that Nynaeve and Elayne get progressively worse and worse, ever more bossy, bitchy and overall obnoxious.

Steinbeck did most of an Arthurian novel, but the absolute best modernism with Arthur is The Once and Future King. Also one of my all-time favorite novels of any kind.

It's touted as scifi but I see no scifi elements other than the fucking laser prisms and the double moon. It's just a book the author used to spread his nasty fetishes to the world. All they do in that book is fuck man/woman/animals, drink, do drugs and vandalize property. Everyone is worshipping a self admitted rapist, who wants to "give it to them gud", and everyone wants a "big buck" to work them over. It's just a clean version of Hogg.

Unless you are going to say it has parallels to society at the time, and seeing that you are a fucking e/lit/ist you probably go around asserting that everything written has meaning, and you look for and attribute meanings to things that don't deserve none.

Yeah I'm fine with the story being limited on the magic and "epic" nature, but it just feels so bipolar. Is it trying to be a adventure series with Wester, or is it trying to do politics with the bank girl and Lord Regent Autism of Neckbeardia?

I mean I like the basic ideas, low fantasy setting, multiple different races, hints of the stuff about the ancient dragon empire, etc, but it's all just so bipolar and boring. It's like somebody aping GoT for their D&D campaign.

Things slow down in 7 and 8, and 9 and 10 are just downright terrible, though 9 still has an excellent ending. 11 brings the series pretty damn close back to the quality of its peak, and 12-14 are fantastic. Stick with it, it's a phenomenal series if you're willing to put the time into it.

Rand and Mat quickly become the most interesting only to be surpassed by the occasional darkfriend chapters.

The only reason I listen to Egwene or Nyneave chapters is because I don't want to miss plot.

The author made them insufferable cunts on purpose (I assume, since his book tends to point out the strengths and weaknesses of the genders), so I can't fault him for achieving its desired effect.

However, there is likely a better way to do it.

Nigga, the name is as far as the hindu inspiration goes. Unless the spiders, crabs and shit are somehow hindu-based.

That being said, i'm close to finishing it, and after being worried that i won't like it because it's "Nothing Happens: The Book", i actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

I'm trying to plot a wizard community (amongest other things) and want it to be as believable as possible. I'm getting stuck trying to move away from Potter things though.

How else could magic folk keep in contact?

Also, read Sabriel, can't say I really expected to enjoy it as much as I did, here's hoping the other two books I have (Lirael and Abhorsen) are just as good or better.

Yes there are a lot of good criticisms there but as usual Keely needs to wank over his honourable, virtuous leftism. One of the redeeming qualities of WoT is its realistic portrayal of women and what would happen in a world largely ruled by women. Technology stagnates and nothing gets done while the women bicker amongst themselves, until Rand comes along and sorts everything out.

Well maybe I'm just not as familiar with reddit as the rest of my pals here on /lit/ :^D

They are all frothing at the mouth about Brexit, and Bernie was enormously popular there. The mods on r/europe were so banhappy about "islamophobes" that users had to create r/european if they wanted to discuss news involving muslims. Yes I know it turned into r/pol but that's not the point. A lot of r/worldnews threads get locked when people break speech codes. I don't know about the donald subreddit, probably an inevitable reaction to the overwhelming liberalism of the other subs.

>>8211272

It's just an observable fact that reddit leans left. 4chan leans right but that doesn't mean there aren't socialists and sjws on here. I don't know why people are giving me grief over this.

Reddit attracts that kind of people.

Western culture is objectively superior because it produces nations with the most equality, freedom, and tolerance. That's not a rightwing point of view. Islam, on the other hand, is completely antithetical to leftist values. It's not just a religion but a political system. It has no place in the West.

It was only 2, I just made one last week, and thinking of making another one this week.

>trite unfunny pictures
Someone/others seem to like it, I saw someone call your ass a dinosaur and it wasn't me.

Only dinosaurs have a problem with being called dinosaurs, maybe you should go back to >>>/r/grandpa and discuss all the things you did in your youth, and why young people are stupid because they don't like what you like.

Enjoy the latest pic

We all anonymous cosmerefag, and no, I don't shitpost, if I see a dinosaur getting uppity i put him in his place. It's the same shit you guys do to me when I post my list, you would only have a problem with this if you were a hypocrite.

Also I know you are a filthy dinosaur cosmerefag. I saw you dinosaur posting, without your pics.

I don't always speak about it idiot. I had many fruitful arguments about books with anons and you didn't even know it was me. It's only when these grandpa start trolling ppl into their meme series I post dino mode.

You recommended conan and lankhmar for EVERYTHING when people asked for suggestions, that is how the whole dinosaur shit started. People asked for modern books with killing you tell them conan... wtf. Look in the archives if you don't believe me....

I bet you are either Aramfag, or the Gray Faggot masturbator, if my shit hitting so close to home that you went out of your way to "silence" me.

What amazes me is that you can't wrap your head around the simplest of concepts, that books should not be judged along lines of new/old but of good/bad instead.

In your demented world, Conan is bad because it's old.

I recommend getting back to r/plebs/, where they will be more than happy to discuss your ebin Malazan and Sanderson anime swordfights.

on your logically unsound "Aramfag" supposition: There are only one or two discourses which will involve me here for now - the denigration of Wolfe, and false accusations of others being me. Personal attacks beyond "your weak and febrile intellect cannot begin to appreciate what you have actually read" do not fall in my purview. Self aggrandizement and sound Wolfe analysis are my hallmarks - all others are mere eidolons. I hope this clears up a few things. I have no interest in this dinosaur discourse. I can be triggered by mention of Borski, however.

Unfortunately my reading of the last 4 years has been research oriented but I don't mind Malazan and Vandermeer's ambergris stuff. Nothing as profound as the New Wave, as I do feel unrealistic ideology has replaced literary depth, as has already been said in this post. Kelly link's short stories are okay but I also feel those attempting for artistic effect (the lady who wrote Jagganeth, for example, or the orange eats creeps) are simply spinning the wheels of a watered down surrealism. I intend to catch up after finishing the project. I found the lynch mediocre and bakker has some genuinely ugly prose due to his proclivity for bizarre names without linguistic sensibility, which leads to hideous sentences. Opening at random makes me want to shake my head. I prefer earlier crowley, zelazny, vance and the true origin of modern fantasy, pre 19th century myth and romance before realism took over. Spenser, shakespeare, marlowe, etc. I don't have a good answer as at this point Wolfe, the new wave, and classic lit are my areas of strong knowledge.

Thanks it is qued on my kindle ... I was very disappointed by the limp wristed inutility of the characters in Never Let Me Go. Low test in that book even with the adolescent sex. A real man would not let himself be transplanted to death by an uncaring aristocracy without at least considering how to take someone with him, regardless of education.
