just because a female character has sexual characteristics, and a character notices that, does not mean that the character is a raping misogynist

>>25583474
I don't care about the raping misogynist part, but it is undeniable that every time Severian even sees Jolenta he goes on a "Holy shit. Look at the obscene curvature on that braphog. The tasteful thickness of her. A vulgar body built for breeding and nothing else. My immaculate training has conditioned me to resist temptations of the flesh, but that succulent meat tempts even me" spiel with a 50% chance of being followed by a sex scene

Annihilation was the best book in the series it was all downhill from there

>>25583501
I liked the second book more than the first.

Why wouldn't he? She was literally made to be like that. Nothing natural remained of her. She was a supernormal stimulus.

I don't know what your intent was by this, but trying to say that about Quiet was coping just as much. Should've used the image that compared his response to Yoko Taro's about 2B.

>>25583547
Learning there's a 'good reason' after the fact, doesn't change the fact that before you find out there's a good reason, its still just perverted. Like its not going to shame someone into retroactively thinking 'wow, I was in the wrong for having impure thoughts after all!'. No matter how he justifies it, Jolenta was the author's fetish and an excuse for Severian to get freaky.

And there's nothing wrong with freaky Severian, I just wanted to point out that Severian DOES go "Holy SHIT this girl's tits makes me cum" since you said he doesn't do that

For world:
Morrowind
Look up lore videos for a bunch of fantasy series,
Try something sci fi and make it fantasy, like the matrix human battery farm.
Star wars planets are great sources as well.

For stories:
Read old dnd dungeon books for gameplay inspiration
Story wise, try to give every quest/dungeon its own little story with a setup and payoff. Any adventure serial/short story will do. Most of my dungeon stories were inspired by old Belgian adventure comics I used to read when I visited my grandma.

Come to think of it, doctor who is also a perfect example for inspiration (provided you can stomach the woke shit). Old star trek as well.

>>25583772
oh ya consuming episodic media is a good idea

I don't know what book you guys are talking about, but something can become extremly annoying if it feels like the writer is beating you over the head with it.

I don't know which poster anons are talking about, but anything will become extremly annoying when it feels like the poster is beating you over the head with it.

Severian wrote about their sexual encounter as rape as a way of respecting both Jolenta and Dorcas. They were friends and lovers, which made Severian jealous, and the day he fucked the brakes off Jolenta he was trying to make Dorcas jealous back. It takes the responsibility away from Jolenta and puts it all on himself. He knows he's an asshole anyway who did way worse things, but he loved Dorcas, and by consequence had respect for Jolenta, considered her a friend.

> compared his response to Yoko Taro's about 2B.
It really is hilarious. One tries to retcon a pathetic reason why a chick in his game is near-naked. The other simply goes, "I like attractive women."

>>25583518
Ok it was fucking terrible

>>25583646
Yeah but he got it all out of his system. They were away from the encampment for hours, to the point Dorcas was distraught, and returned reeking of sex.

How? It was all eerie build-up that went nowhere and made zero sense.

>>25584100
Sorry chud. You need to read to the end of all 3 books and get to know the girlboss negress and gay lighthouse keeper, before you get any explanation of the alien presence.

>>25584115
I did read book 3. Book 1 was great. The next two books were not, and they certainly weren't ploughing through for that payoff.
