Tranny thread

No, FAG.

Had a few weeks of listening to someone do pretty decent readings of old pulp stories while at work.

Sadly their channel got hacked and now is spamming scams and valorant cheats.
Yet again it feels like you just can't have anything nice these days without some scammer coming in to ruin it.

Channel was called Golden Age Fiction.
Probably only a matter of time before even that is changed too. Wasn't a big channel so there is almost no hope of Google doing anything about it, since they rely on broken AI systems for everything.

Was chuckling at this being an overly specific ask, and there being no way there are many books like that. Then I got to thinking

Crazy how The Will of the Many, Suneater, Red Rising, Ironbound all kinda did this

It's because he keeps trying to ban authors from the discussion, despite having no authority to do so.

Oh, I didn't even notice.

OP of generals tend to be giga-faggots so I just ignore the copypaste at the top of generals by default.

I don't know why but they always end up using the first post in generals to fight some sort of petty imaginary feud.

this book sucks
despite being 'epic fantasy' there is nothing epic about it; darn it! there's barely any fantasy in it!
I'm over 1/3 through this and nothing has happened; the fmc, despite carrying the title of demon hunter, hasn't killed any demon in over 60k words!
most of the story is either the fmc dealing with no-sex depression or thinking about having sex at the same time she socializes with a crew of freaks and think about who suits better as mate to have sex with
she found one, but guess what, he has a terminal illness, and must likely dies within a few chapter just so she found another lover, most likely that guy's brother... or the other brother... of her friend's boyfriend
also, she has traume, was resurrected or something... what happened to her during childhood? well, take a fucking guess!
I swear, is like hearing following the story of a femsel who is about to have her womb run dry and is just desperate
it's hard to believe this was written by a man; actually, I think it's a foid who impersonated her (ex)husband and pasted his picture on GR's profile just so people would give her book a chance
this is not even a expuse to write smut for the sex scene are fade-to-black
authro tried me to convice me that, as a fan of Salvatore, this would be entertained, but it's just a snooze fest
DNF... I need my testosterone back... maybe Lords of Dûs can help me with that

it's a litmus test for redditors. regular 4chan poster isn't going to give a shit about "banned" topics or authors, he will probably purposefully talk about those things just to prove he doesn't care. a redditor will be like, ummm is it ok? gosh, why are they banned tho? ok, i don't have to talk about them fellow 4channelers... i follow the global and board-specific rules. i'm sure there is reason they are banned, i don't question authority :)

What author, besides self-pub slopsters, have a say in what cover the publisher will use? 99% of genre fiction novels have atrocious covers regardless of novel's quality. P.S. Even some of the special editions (eg. from Folio Society) have horrendous art work.

one thing that kept annoying me while reading Kane: Theres multiple mentions of him being left handed, but whenever he's described it says his scabbard peaks over his right shoulder. Even when the character is looking at Kane's back.

I am so confused

I think the "Bobiverse" series should have remained a trilogy. Every new book feels like filler, dragging the setting on and everything is convenient as fuck. "Oh, you know those cool technologies in all your favourite sci-fi? Well they're all real and Bob finds and implements every single one!" The original trilogy at least had limitations and a villain who had to be beaten with insane yet grounded physics. Now it's all convenient FTL ships they found drifting in the middle of nowhere, wormhole networks and one of the original trilogy villains showing up and being oddly tech savvy for being a military grunt.

>>25540920
>I hate editors
So does GRRM.

>>25540982
Agreed but I like the universe a lot. The beaver world is pretty cool, but definitely a filler episode. It stands as a trilogy just fine.

Wish they'd release the ebook same time as audio tho

Red God?

>>25541013
Yeah, I love the concept and it has some cool ideas, but the more books he writes the more stupid the world gets with aliens and their tech just being movie and show references. I miss when it was its own thing.

>>25540930
confused by what?

what are the best of the DnD novels?

>>25541022
At 200,000 words according to Pierce.

I am very concerned because he also said that a name he pulled out of a hat basically threw the entire book in disarray. He also accidentally slipped up and referred to Atalantia as Sovereign.

In short, I fear for my Sovereign Virginia.

>>25541247
Well, it just felt like the rules were deliberately unclear or changing all the times, and some characters were just removed entirely for the plot halfway through until the very end. Like
>Celcha just fucks off from the story to find the center, and then she does (ok)
>Arpix dies, but actually not, but actually yes, he did, but actually it doesn't matter, and it's never mentioned by anyone again
>Elvar completely absent from the climax
>That one friend who somehow ended up as a queen, why ? It ended up not mattering at all. The second friend too, why the hell was she here for?
>The entire thing turns out to be an allegory about how huuuuuh you shouldn't burn books
>the two brothers never existed, but then who created the library, and Yute?

Anyway, it was all very, very messy. The first book was definitely the best of the three.

>>25540394
That's a fucking bold choice for Deadhouse Gates.

>>25539887
>>creates a solar system populated with humans in order to lure out and genocide the zōtl
