Modern prose is fucking abysmal. Guenon was right. Peasants shouldn't be allowed to read
just read your "good prose" authors and let the plebs read and write whatever the fuck they want.
>>24679403It's your fault for reading what is visibly bookslop.
>>24679403Is this a best selling famous book or is this a cherrypicking fallacy from AO3 smutslop?
>>24679403Read some pulps from the 30s and you get similar quality.
>>24680202>>24680212>>24680265mfs always get defensive when they find an anon who writes better than them. the excerpt shows issues, sure, but it's not "smutslop"
>>24680288>an anonOP is implying this is from a published modern book….otherwise I’m not sure why he would think this is representative of “modern prose.” Do you know something we don’t?And this is pretty poor writing. Technically sound for the most part, but the overwrought descriptions of the gargoyle’s armor and axe are hilarious given its chopping up a character to death. Shouldn’t the seriousness of that death take focus? And then the gargoyle gives a little retarded quip at the end too. Lots of conflicting tonal shifts that make it seem more incoherent than anything else.
>>24680378>Do you know something we don’tmaybe the adam sandler poster made a slip? sometimes if i browse the board too much i use lexicon here in other places where it's not appropriate, especially if im sleep deprived.>overwrought descriptions of the gargoyle’s armor and axe are hilarious...little retarded quip at the end too. Lots of conflicting tonal shiftsthe author might be attempting something like absurdism. nihilistic humour parroted by a villain that increases the horror? it doesn't work that well here, but that's the vision i get.honestly, though, the excerpt is too short to make anything of it, especially if it's from a novel. it's technically well made and it has interesting flavour so, using a bit of imagination to imagine the rest, i'd give it a 7/10.
>>24679403Proof Goonanfags need to be shot
>>24680636>cultural marxist seethes of guenon>also enjoys slopmany such cases
I write like this
>>24679403can you show us any more of this anon? im intrigued
>>24679403waht's wrong with it? it's clear, concise, and vividly tells and shows the readers of the scene. it's a great excerpt
>>24679403Is it just me or does this reads as if someone was making a summary of a movie script?
>>24681756>concise
>>24681756It doesn't feel as if the author was writing a novel, it feels as if he was telling a director how he wanted the movie adaption to be.
>>24681768>>24681758maybe the author is just weak on interiority? or might just not have the budget to make a film and so opted to write a book instead (which is valid)
>>24681660
Honest question: how many works of Guénon have you read?I feel that most people who say something like "Guénon said" "Guénon was right" etc. have little to no grasp of what he was actually saying
>>24681944so you're defending this slop?
>>24681945No, but caring about what some random peasant is writing betrays a care about something totally inferior. This is turn makes me think you have only superficially interacted with Guénon's work, maybe through Evola?
>>24681953NTA, but Guenon is a faggot and so are you. The excerpts posted are great.
>>24681939Lel what is this from?
>>24681934It would be valid if he actually wrotr it as a book, not as his attempt at a script.
>>24681988how do you know this is an attempt at a movie script?
>>24681958no, no they are not
>>24681939There's really a few words to describe this, none of them good. Sterile, inoffensive, bland and boring, horrifically boring.
>>24680727Not everyone who thinks lowly of Guenon is a "cultural Marxist"
>>24679403>>24681939>>24681960Seems like nigger OP must've written it himself, as i can't find anything online. Probably just trying to bait us into giving free criticism and tips. Nigger op tongues nigger anus and deserves prison rape.And his writing fucking sucks
Is it possible to have urban fantasy prose that isn't snarkslop?
