>>25159395there's a stark literary difference between fantasy that used to be the authors dnd campaign and fantasy imparting the application of moral wisdom
>>25159405No fiction should be didactic. I'd rather have the D&D campaign.
>>25159408actually gross man I'm sorry meaning is more important than the specifications of the house lorganthians circumcision traditions
>>25159410Meaning, yes. But the author should not ram their values down your throat.
>>25159441Such a midwit gamer statement, /v/immigrants fucking suck. No shit. Don’t have to be so chud about it.
bakkerschizo wont like the fact another fantasy series is being talked about
I forced my way through Gardens of the Moon because you faggots said it got better later, then I started Deadhouse Gates and it was the same shit.
>>25159405What sort of moral wisdom can come out of our immoral generation?
>>25159410Can you give an example of a book you found meaningful
>>25159395Love how there are so many garbage books out there
>any moral more complicated than thinly-veiled globohomo ideology is le didacticism
I liked them but when one book by McCarthy or Tolstoy has better morals and prose than 10,000 pages of fantasy slop, maybe that's a sign most genre fiction is stretched unfathomably thin when it comes to their shining moments. Even "deep and complex" popcorn flicks in book form still mainly feel like popcorn flicks. I do like him more than Bakker thoughbeit.
>>25161637You are probably from a Protestant culture, so you confuse correctness with morality, just as you confuse didacticism with a moral message.By the way, the "edgy" attitude is a consequence of Protestant correctness; if someone has no moral backbone, because one will not develop one in a world of correctness, when they reject this correctness, only emptiness remains.
>>25161731>ad hoc appeals and baseless assumptionsgo back to /tv/
>>25159395The series is not bad, but his obsession with flashbacks made me quit the series.
>>25159395I read the first volume. It was incredibly poor literary-wise, to the point where the descriptions are nonexistent beyond the perspective of the main character in the chapter (who lacks a psychological edge anyway) and the lore-dump in the second half of the book. Beyond that, everything is very contrived and formulaic, and based on typical North American stereotypes. There's not much necessary information about the world, and what we do get is, as is typical in slop, tied solely to the main plot, so it lacks context. Furthermore, it all culminates in a boss fight whose sole function is to be a boss.I know fantasy readers have low standards, but you should have some limits on lowering them, otherwise you'll soon be crawling on all fours.

>>25162675I'm white, proud, European and I have great line! However, I greatly appreciate the Latin American countries. They are very vibrant because they are Catholic. The price for this vitality is occasional chaos, but all of them, with the possible exception of Haiti, are developing very quickly. This is because their culture is based on sound foundations. That's why they are flooding the US with population and culture, and unlike the Indians, they are able to create the foundations of a new, functional culture.

>>25162748Accusing me of being Latino now, when I've just mentioned it as a potential retort, doesn't work, you idiot. Instead of posting pictures someone else made and repeating my statements, act like a first-worlder for once and come up with something cool.
