>bought Will of the Many paperback last year during Black Friday deal>started it only two days ago>Strength of the Few paperback to be released in June 2027what the heck
>>25651749I bought a Will of the Many hardback for the sole reason that my autism would be set off if I had to buy SotF and whatever book 3 is called as hardbacked on release without waiting or repurchasing. I only buy the paperbacks of a fully released series.
>>25651749I love that picture.
Should I read The Little Prince?
>>25651838Do whatever your heart tells you to
First for lolixianxia
>>25651691I recently decided to get into fantasy. I haven't really read anything in the genre apart from The Hobbit and Harry Potter.I started with ASOIAF. AGOT was okay, probably a 7/10, but ACOK really sucked.A Wizard of Earthsea was just okay too. I liked the beginning and a few moments, like the fight against the dragons and summoning the shadow at the academy. I also enjoyed the worldbuilding, but I didn't particularly like the world itself. Too much sea and too many boats. I'm not sure I'll continue the series, but I can definitely appreciate it.I read a few pages of The Wheel of Time, but I'm not sure I'll continue with that either.I tried reading Mistborn too. I actually really liked the first chapter, but dropped it pretty early because the dialogue was so bad.Wolfe will probably be next, followed by The Buried Giant by Ishiguro.
>>25651957You could try Abercrombie. Don't start with The Devils though, I have never DNF'd a book so bad but my friends are insisting I still give First Law a chance.If you liked The Hobbit, read LotR
>>25651691The absolute state of science fiction and fantasy on Goodreads.
>>25652029Is this for 2026? I am surprised to see even one male author listed in the fantasy genre.
>>25651957>A Wizard of EarthseaNever read these.
>>25652029>readers'yeah
>>25652033There's 6.
>>25652029what did you honestly expect?
I want books to be good
most good writers don't write in the sff genre because of reasons like that post. Most sff fans have shit taste and couldn't even tell you who Gene Wolfe is let alone read one of his stories.
>>25652033Yes. Everyone with a GR should vote for the books by the white men. Enough of the fem slop.
>>25652124There was a time when Goodreads was good, before Redditors, foids, and fags took it over.
>>25652149When was 4chan good?
Placed a hold for this at my library and was #247 in line, then found it while walking through the richest neighbourhood in the city at a little library.
>>25652186Damn, what library system could possibly be that broke?Happy for you though.
>25652197kys
>>25652199>so mad he can't quoteLOL
Is it recommended by /sffg/?
>>25652207Normalfags in /lit/ like this newfag loser >>25652199 LOVE The Expanse. Search the archives, faggot.
>>25652207Yes. It's one of the best adult sci-fi series out there, and you should disregard pagespammer's impotent ramblings about his inability to finish anything.
You SHOULD read this masterpiece.
>>25652210I'm just tired of schizos like (You)rself.
>>25652214>I'm new to 4chan ANDwhat a surprise
>>25652219Every accusation is a confession, newfagfag. You still insecure about coming here in '16?
>>25652213Sell me on it.
>>25652221>no unewfagGPT script
>>25652223Imagine Victorian-era Sherlock Holmes meets Bloodborne meets cosmic horror meets an RPG progression system, except the author somehow combines all four into one of the most intricately constructed fantasy worlds in modern web fiction.That's Lord of the Mysteries by Cuttlefish That Loves Diving.And here's the thing: it's not just good because of its worldbuilding, power system, or mysteries.It's good because everything connects.
>>25652224>newfagGPT script>scriptAs if you haven't said that dozens of times by now. Ironic.
>>25652228>RPG progression "system">worldbuilding>power systemI'm good, thanks.
The best fantasy series I've read this year, what's yours?
>>25652207Pagespammer already exposed it for being bad
>>25652234>random archive screencapWhy do you continue to make such a big deal about being new to 4chan?
>>25652228My guilty pleasure is to experience some shonen anime slop one day that is just genuinely good and deep, so I might take a chance on this one day
>>25652228Tried this before. Hard pass and your fanbase is insufferable. Plus this was turned into an animated series that skipped SEVENTY-FIVE (75) CHAPTERS lol
>>25652228Reverend Insanity > Lord of Mysteries
>>25652228you made the RIspamming newfag mad LOL
>>25651838Yes
>>25652193Toronto. They've got 42 copies but guess everyone wants it now
>>25652255>Plus this was turned into an animated series that skipped SEVENTY-FIVE (75) CHAPTERS lol...what?
>>25652237Definitely A Practical Guide to Evil.
>>25652273Lurk moar
>25652228>5 genuine responses to gptslopgetting secondhand embarrassment from this thread
>>25651746>Needing the thread subjectYou don't deserve culture
>>25652228None of that sounds appealing.
>>25652228>Victorian-era Sherlock Holmes meets Bloodborne meets cosmic horrorummm
