>What is /wng/ — Web Novel General?
A general for readers and authors involved or interested in the growing phenomenon of 'web novels', serialized English fiction posted to websites such as: Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribblehub, Wattpad, Archive of Our Own, Spacebattles, HFY, various personal author websites, and more

>Why read web novels?
Not for prose or tight editing or deep themes, frankly. As a whole, web novels are infamous for content sprawl and pacing issues. If you enjoy having millions of words to sink your teeth into to get to know the world and characters, though, you may be interested. Keeping up with other readers on a weekly basis to discuss the story's events unfolding is another perk, in the same way discussing an ongoing TV show might be.

>Why write web novels?
Ease of access & potential for Patreon earnings. Many successful authors gain an audience on their website of choice and funnel their readers into a Patreon. See graphtreon.com/top-patreon-creators/writing for an idea of what some are earning.
Also, once an author has earned a fanbase, transitioning into an Amazon self-publishing career is several orders of magnitude easier than starting 'dry'.

Anti-Oedipus.
To summarise, Dolce & Gabbana discard Freuds Oedipalised interpretation of desire, suggesting instead a "positive" model inspired by Nietzsche.
Probably will be one of the hardest things you'll read, and it also requires a lot of background knowledge. Regardless, it should be worth your time.

If that sounds like too much, just stick with Nietzsche (Zarathustra especially covers desire nicely)

i recommend their Kafka book to any anons who have read a decent bit of Kafka. it inspired an effortpost i made recently in a thread about The Castle.

something their Kafka book made me appreciate about d+g is that they're not obsessed with 'critique' in the same way a lot of contemporary online pop-leftists seem to be. Kafka's not complaining about early-20thC capitalist society, he's not comparing it against some happier ideal society. instead he's alert to the new creative possibilities and desires that early-20thC capitalist society has generated, and he takes them further than that society is able to itself. that's my rough reading of how d+g interpret him. constructing a machinic line of flight is very different from simply representing things as bad.
>>
>>24944457
>hardest thing evar!!!
Lol. D&G is pretty good. But pretty much entry level lefty pomo garbo. Ofc, if you don't know the continental philosophy milieu you may be somewhat filtered by references. But Capitalism and Schizophrenia are designed to be at least allegedly somewhat poppy. And Guattari is pretty clear in his wotks albeit crazy in ideas. Deleuze himself is a clear philosopher if you know philosophy. And perhaps less interesting than his fans claim. Unless you are committed to le science atheism metaphysics. Ultimately, you'd be better served reading Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Heidegger, Kojeve, Strauss, Bataille, Blanchot, Klossowski, Derrida, Agamben, etc.
>freud is bad mmmk
Have you read him yet? Or Saussure and Clastres? Levi-Strauss and Mauss? I guarantee you're missing out if you have only read Deleuze as critique and gone no further...

Love it but honestly can be deceptively filtering itself.

There is a fascinating, digressive chapter in Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris about how architecture was once the main form of expression of human thought and how the invention of the printing press put an end to this.
Are there any other books about this topic? The intersection of philosophy and architecture? And was Hugo even correct?

The whole cuck joke obsession is basically resentiment in meme form.
Nietzsche could have written an aphorism about guys who cope by imagining humiliations that are not even happening to them.

People who yell "cuck" at everything are not showing dominance.
They are showing they have none.
It is slave morality with Wojaks.

They never talk about what they build or want or create.
They fixate on scenarios where someone else gets humiliated, because that is the closest they ever get to a feeling of power.

How is transcendental logic related to (formal) logic? Kant says that in logic, reason considers only its form and abstracts away the matter and denies that there could be a special logic for a certain matter. But later in the antinimoies he wants to show that the most basic form of proof (reductio ad absurdum) doesn't apply in the context of the questions there, for the negation of tha absurd is equally absurd there.
so I am baffled.

BTW, we have currently a thread on "informal logic" (textbooks). We should go over there and harass them there.

>"They dance so languorously, the women of Syria. I knew then in Jerusalem a Jewess who, in a hovel, by the light of a small smoky lamp, on a bad carpet, danced raising her arms to clash her cymbals. Her back arched, her head thrown back and as if dragged down by her heavy auburn hair, her eyes drowned in voluptuousness, ardent and languishing, supple, she'd have made Cleopatra herself pale with envy. I loved her barbaric dances, her slightly husky and yet so sweet singing, the smell of her incense, the semi-sleeping state she seemed to live in. I followed her everywhere. I mixed in with the vile crowd of soldiers, boatmen and publicans she was surrounded with. One day she disappeared and I never saw her again. I looked for a long time for her in doubtful alleyways and taverns. She was harder for me to do without than Greek wine. A few months after I had lost track of her, I learned, quite by chance, that she had joined a small group of men and women who were followers of a young Galilean miracle worker. He was called Jesus, came from Nazareth, and was crucified, for what crime I don't know. Do you remember that man, Pontius?"
>Pontius Pilate frowned, bringing his hand to his forehead like someone who is trying to remember. Then, after a few moments of silence, he murmured:
>"Jesus. Jesus. From Nazareth? No. I can't bring him to mind."
