Unfortunately a lot of fantasy "authors" are just bad at creating a decent setting for their works, and as an autist I just can't enjoy their work if I can tell that they've cut corners in terms of worldbuilding.Other than the more well-known series like LOTR, ASOIAF, Wheel of Time and the Stormlight Archive, what can /lit/ recommend in this area? Any suggestions are appreciated
Romance of the Three Kingdoms
You have a general to use manchild. Kindly post there instead of shitting the board up with these threads.
>>25549955For worldbuilding, R. Scott Bakker's The Darkness That Comes Before. It is, overall, the best genre fiction of all time.
>>25550026Yeah, let's have more threads about philosphy and religion that are okay because someone wrote a book once, then another round of swedejeet posting, a complaint about troons and then ten thousand frogposts.
