I have just finished Way of Kings.It was mid. I don't understand why this is so hyped. Will it get better?
>>24733026>I have just finished>Will it get better?anon, I...
>>24733026Yes, its extremely mid, I very recently got baited into reading it by booktubers who praised it like the second comingI find it infinitely funny that the book is so /autism/ coded, and the guy had such low expectations for his special-needs reader base that fucking "emotion sprites" (get it? sprites, like in your vidya xd) spawn and dance around characters where they are afraid / in pain like its some sort of fucking MOBA debuff.
>>24733034I obviously meant the series.
>>24733036>literal feeling fairies swirling around instead of writing emotional reactions Imagine trying to do it and a big naked fairy comes drifting to you and watches while you do the deed. Horrific stuff….Sanderson should have done something about this.
>>24733026I liked it when I read it more ham a decade ago. But back then I wasn't politically enlightened or redpilled. Don't know if it would still hold up. Jashna was my favorite character back then but now I realise she could be a feminist shoe in.
>>24733072It was just too American morality for me:>Dude the Good guys are actually evil and sell you as a slave>Women are super competent>The Church lied about history>Mystery box in a mystery box >Skin(eye) colour racism
>>24733026I got tricked into reading it too. I've heard it gets worse.As I understand it mistborn was fairly good and decently creative for young adult fiction, becoming especially popular in some online spaces into that sort of thing. Then the author was asked to finish the wheel of time and most fans appreciated what he did, making him as known as Jordan. Because of that this series got more popular than it deserves. Loud online fans and personalities also love quantity for more content and Sanderson definitely delivers on that part.I recall sort of liking the Shallan and Kaladin chapters. But the whole thing just felt so forced and uninspired, like he got the idea from a kid in 10th grade dreaming up their dream video game.
