you guys had suggested me Throne of Bones as "dark fantasy" but it was quite boring.

Can you guys suggest some dark (or grimdark??) fantasy?

It's anime in book form. It's boring, would make a great anime series, though.

And if you read books for "magic systems" it's better to read RPG rulebooks.

what are you? 8?

>the Legion carried out assassinations of politicians it viewed as corrupt, including Prime Minister

>On 30 November, it was announced that Codreanu, the Nicadori and the Decemviri had been shot after trying to flee custody the previous night.

Good riddance.

okay fuckers, after learning English, studying English literature, working as a fantasy fiction translator for more than ten years, after getting my artsy-fartsy (((literary fiction))) novel published, after teaching translation at college, I'm ready to write my own old-school sword&sorcery stories.

Is web-publishing any good if a) it's not in English b) I hate socializing with people on-site and/or online?

There doesn't seem to be any other alternative, does it?

realistic speech patterns are stupid on paper.
Better to get the gist and A E S T H E T I S E it.

I checked the sticky on this board, and I assume #bookz is a channel on an IRC server? Though I couldn't find out which server to log on to.

>>15250793
it's not. I'm trying to download via torrent but there are no seeds.

Would you kindly share this book (or anything you have related to Kane by Karl Edward Wagner)?

Thanks. It's hard to find.

>he doesn't like to research things and generally only likes to write down thoughts if he remembers them,

that's called an 'essay', bro.

this keeps getting posted, and I have no idea what this is. Some said it's LitRPG (whatever that means).

Can you guys post THE prime example so that I can read? I want to know.

>>15237231

>>15226961
Conan the Barbarian in some aspects?

knowing why =/= knowing how.
This is academic knowledge on phatic speech.
This guy (us, you, me) need to know how to start a convo with a normie.

I guess marxists can't be helped...

>>15200692
He's a pastiche of marxist-leninist ideas with an addition of Murray Bookchin after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Go read Bookchin, if you're looking for ideas.

American ((leftist)) can't even get their "socialist" guy elected as the candidate in their own party.

>The only thing that makes this series interesting is the political intrigue in the style of Frank Herbert and the obvious real world historical similarities.
Isn't that heavily inspired by some French historical novel series?
