>>25651749
I 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.

I 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.

You 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

The absolute state of science fiction and fantasy on Goodreads.

>>25652029
Is this for 2026? I am surprised to see even one male author listed in the fantasy genre.

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.
>>
>>25652033
Yes. Everyone with a GR should vote for the books by the white men. Enough of the fem slop.

There was a time when Goodreads was good, before Redditors, foids, and fags took it over.

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.
>>
>>25652186
Damn, what library system could possibly be that broke?
Happy for you though.

Normalfags in /lit/ like this newfag loser >>25652199 LOVE The Expanse. Search the archives, faggot.
>>
>>25652207
Yes. 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.

>>25652223
Imagine 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.

Why do you continue to make such a big deal about being new to 4chan?

>>25652228
My 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

>>25652228
Tried this before. Hard pass and your fanbase is insufferable. Plus this was turned into an animated series that skipped SEVENTY-FIVE (75) CHAPTERS lol
