I see this getting recommended, but the description on wikipedia looks like some commie, hurr ebil oppressor shit.Maybe it's good besides that, but will I find it insufferable?
>>24990179It's not commie per se, it's "authoritarianism bad," rebel extremists are frowned upon from book oneThen the sequels show a democratic republic getting easily subverted and eating itself, and the attitude is more "you can't make the world you want, only the world you deserve"It's not a deeply philosophical series but the characters have enough convictions to morally ground the duels and space battles
Anything like pic rel?
>>24990179it's about as anti-commie as it gets. it takes an extremely libertarian view of things, and goes on at length about the evils of authority, any system that depresses natural meritocracy, democracy in specific and in general, and even rebellion itselfthe oppressors are evil, but their real crime is that they're evil for backward, irrational reasons that are detrimental to themselves as the lower castes
>>24990179he breaks POV rules and it pisses me off. shit tier writer who found the normie market.
>>24982576Is there a sex scene with the cute femboy in the middle and the cute tomboy on the right?
Is dune good? Is dune unique? Is there something similar?
>>24990179It feels like more a critique of democracy at times in the series>>24990344What are the POV rules?
>Hey guize!>Guize!>Hey I have this super original idea about a fantasy world.>But get this - it has magic AND a Victorian sociopolitical system with honour dueal and nobility!Please make them stop.
>>24990411Somebody post the pasta
Finished Dune 4. Entertaining books and there is some interesting themeing and thought provoking ideas but 70% of the philosophy in this book is just garbage pseudo philosophy, there are entire chapters of Leto discussing how females are better warriors and how it is related to rape and homosexuality. Frank Herbert is more of a shrooms junkey and a sex pervert than a philosopher. Anyways, my favorite 2 characters are Moneo and Hwi. Money acts all subservient with Leto, all weak and dumb "I dont understand Lord" then he is alone with Duncan and the dynamic totally shifts, he is the smart strong one in that relationship, kinda dickish though, Leto did it out of love when Moneo seems to do it out of spite. Leto does love Moneo the most, last chapters Leto really did try to warm him "Moneo you really need to start thinking for yourself and being independent" Poor dude was just an old model not designed for the new times.Hwi seems like a subversion of the whore of babylon, so empathic and pure, she will comfort and fuck anything that she looks at. Are we sure she is not a chinese room just designed to say whatever the person in front needs to hear the most?
>>24990452I remember a cool rebellion plotline that goes nowhere
>>24990465Leto calls the rebellion dumb and pointless chapter 2. But yeah, Frank doesnt do action, I think he had a concept and idea with the first half of dune but the shroom side of it overtook the plot.

>>24990171>Evil Boss Bitch Falling in Love with Me Because I Wrote the Hottest Fanficsurely this light novel exists
>>24990418>>What are the POV rules?The first trilogy is from the perspective of one character, Darrow. The next trilogy is from the perspectives of Darrow and other characters, many of whom are shit.
>>24990263Between Two Fires
How well has the wheel of time aged? Is it still worth reading after going through shit like Malazan, Elderlings, or Bakker’s books
>>24990718it's hard to say because wheel of time basically had no impact on fantasy at large. nothing else is as padded, I guess?
>>24990695What sort of autistic rule is that? Plenty of POV books have multiple POV characters. I also found the sequel POVs more interesting than Darrow as well
>science fiction>fantasywhy are these bundled together again? two totally different (diametrically opposed even) genres-smashed together with no regard for the readers well being. fucking ridiculous really.
>>24990729It generates productive tension between the two sects of autists
>>24990729Overlap of old school nerds before fantasy was claimed by white women
>>24989761Hard to Be a God. Also check the movie.
>>24990729the talamud told jews to do it
>>24990729Both are considered juvenile trash by people who prefer to read about the masturbation habits of neurotic Jewish men (i.e. literary fiction)
Is it me, or do 90% of intimidation scenes fall completely flat?
>>24990735Most things by the bros are worth a look at. Although I'd suggest not checking the movie.
>>24990780How can you possibly dislike German's hilarious romp?
Finished this and didn't much care for it. First Niven novel I've read. I can appreciate that it may have been treading new ground in 1975, but I think it's aged quite poorly. I like the overall concept of a more advanced alien race, but they are stuck in their system, but ultimately my problem is just that the aliens don't really feel that alien. When the visit the alien homeworld and it has cars, planes, etc. I kind of mentally checked out.
>mistborn AAA game It’s going to be a dishonored clone isn’t it?https://www.vice.com/en/article/brandon-sanderson-is-close-to-adapting-mistborn-into-a-video-game/
i would love a malazan geimu
>>24990718It's significantly better than everything you listed.
>>24990866*Slides my tentacle slowly up the base of your throbbing cock *.You're such a good boy
>>24990865It’s basically a DnD setting so it’s perfect for a CRPG
>>24990863Dishonored would be a reasonable approach. I'd really want a character action game, but literally the only people capable of making a good character action game are japanese.
>>24990718First book will feel a bit generic.Finds its stride from then on out until you get to Winters Heart-Crossroads which are so ball busting meandering and bad it can barely be believed.Then the Sanderson books dip in quality but at least end the series.
>>24990729Fantasy is a ridiculously broad and loosely defined genre that arguably includes both SF and horror as sub-categories.Anything can be 'fantasy' if it has enough 'fantastic elements' in it. And any element can be 'fantastic' if you can argue it doesn't exist in real life.And a lot of sci-fi is basically indistinguishable from stereotypical fantasy anyway, aside from including some token futuristic 'science' elements like lasers and spaceships. Case in point, Dune.Only small segments of both horror and SF can be argued to be outside the fantasy sphere. Horror, for example, can be about serial killers, which are realistic and not fantastic. Some of the hardest SF doesn't really deal with futuristic technology or aliens. But these are minority subgenres. Most horror is supernatural, most sci-fi is more technobabble than real science.
>>24990873GURPS.
>>24989934thanks
>>24991007Since you liked the guy, why the fuck is Guy Gavriel Kay so overlooked? He's proven himself to not be a one-trick pony and that he's consistent.
>have to live in a hotel room for a while>be at a book shop with a friend>fuck it, just pick a book based on feelhow bad did i fuck up?
>>24990863That would be favorable but I'm willing to bet they go with the ubisoft asscreed open world but with some magic. Fewer instances of handcrafted cool moments and opportunities and more rock bottom sandbox.
>>24991018historical fiction is generally less popular than typical fiction
>>24991022Open it up and tell us
>>24991018fap fap fap
Any SFF with this kind of FFX Tropical bright blue water and white beaches vibe?
>>24991092These are all fantasy novels though
>“A better compliment, there is none.” He begins rattling off his catalogue of weapons. “For close work, the R-34 Widowmaker with ion pellets. Of if you’re feeing like something discreet, a wrist-mounted Eradicator. Or…”>R-34 WidowmakerWhat did Pierce Brown mean by this?
This was a very bland book and a disappointing cap to this arc.Spent a good chunk of my year starting this series and this book did not make it seem worth.
