who cares
>>24981614I do. He called us(and you) retarded goons.
>>24981614I do. We lost Waldun's insanely schizophrenic and revolutionary third novel because of the L'Académie drama. Waldun was comparing his third novel to Finnegans Wake! Can you imagine what that masterpiece would have been like? Even KDbooks was saying Waldun's third novel (that he got a sneak peak of) was good. And now it's lost forever because Waldun is a cuck faggot chink.

>>24981641holy psued
>>24981607If you fags didn't post about him constantly I would never know who he is. I suspect at least half of the Waldun threads are made by Waldun himself.
rip in peace waldo
>>24981641>That .>is LITERARY.>DAMN.>BOOM.>Fk YOUi couldn't sound like a bigger faggot if i tried
>>24981765Kek, shame, he is trying and having fun.
>>24981765Kinda sounds like Grok a.i.
>Your daily reading routine will be hard, unless you do thismaybe you don't grow your self-flattering literary audience by talking down to their reading comprehension

How does he keep up the grift? He has thousands of paying customers enrolled in his courses. Legend.
>>24981794He is the type of guy that's much more concerned with appearances than substance, he reads old books that all the other pseuds say make someone smart then becomes a pseud himself, his prose style is repulsive but looks impressive to midwits, and then other midwits want to copy him to become seen as intellectual themselves. He is a superspreader of the meme of cringe, offering all low self esteem individuals a new identity as "person that reads books"
>>24981607>>24981794I feel like we're seeing the emergence of a new ethno-class of rootless, ultra-wealthy Asians that pride themselves on their allegiance to Western institutions (especially universities) and their idiosyncratic interpretations of Western culture. RF Kuang is another particularly odious example. I foresee this group being a deeply conservative and fundamentally boring fixture onto academia and industry moving forward.
>>24981794>How does he keep up the griftHe's Chinese. It's his natural environment. Lie. Cheat. Steal. Repeat. That is to be Chinese, especially a Chinese westerner transplant.
>>24981658>Editor of LITERARY. Publication>Editor of A Mug of InsightsDo people really try to claim to be "editors" of their own blogs???
>>24981862Gotta fluff your CV.
>>24981862Everything is artifice now. Everyone is lying all the time about every aspect of their lives. All culture is dead and grift is the fetid toadstool sticking up through the rotting carrion. Programmers, writers, engineers, it doesn't matter. Everyone is a lying piece of shit. Next time you get passed over for a job, remind yourself that it almost certainly went to someone who lied better than you.
>>24981862It gets funnier because in >>24981794 he claims to have helped a master's student rank at the top of her class—then went on to pose as a grad student himself for years.
>>24981607youtube imploded its been like this the last 5 months or more.
I wonder if he does the Dark Academia larp in the middle of summer too
>>24981892It's the peak of summer in Naarm right now. I bet he's wearing corduroys, wool button downs, wool ties, a wool jacket, and probably a wool scarf as well.
>>24981904>NaarmWonder when they'll officially change the name to this retarded shit
>>24981916I'm pretty sure they have. All the center and left of center businesses and institutions refer to Melbourne as Naarm.
>>24981607not surprised he's from Melbourne tbqh. worst city in Ausfailia.

>>24981641Congrats 4chan, you encouraged him to actually edit.
>>24982201This was after The Learned Disguise but before L'Académie. He didn't really do a good job of editing the second time around. Some might argue it was worse, given he was aware of how poorly written The Learned Disguise was, and the fact that there was no discernable difference in quality with L'Académie.
The dark academia aesthetic fits him about as well as it would fit most of this board to LARP as qing era confucian mandarins on youtube.
>>24982358ORRRRRHARRRROOOOME CHINEEEEEYUCK YUCK YUCK
>>24981637>KDbooks was saying Waldun's third novel (that he got a sneak peak of) was goodCitation needed.
>>24982602It was a comment he left on the L'Académie review video or on one of his videos around the time of L'Académie's release. I'll be arsed if I'm going to find it. You can trawl the /lit/ archives. I posted a screenshot of it a few times.
>>24982657It took me 5 seconds to find it, but I am after all /lit/'s leading Waldun scholar. The comment I left on this post>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k-i0c3onfY>Skip to 1:18:00 and read the chat to see KD's comments on Waldun.>So, what do we think about Waldun's supposed third novel? When will he announce it?Warosu linkhttps://warosu.org/lit/thread/20849189#p20849386
>>24982665Alright, newsflash pal! If some Welsh who from Welsh whoville easily rips some wannabe writer like Waldun a new asshole twice, saying his first two novels are utter dogshit, goes on to say the third one which is unpublished and unreviewed is "better", you cannot quote him, like, "that third novel is good". KD's comment simply means it's better than pure shite. it might be shite with chunks of chocolate now. not "good".
>>24981641>Downing a glass every night>feel like Oscar wildeHe is so cute, I want to cum in his butt every night and hold him in my arms
>>24981614I do. He's our man.
