The Wheel of Time

Since Game of Thrones is super popular do you think we will ever have a tv adaptation? Would it work?

We have enough shows based on fantasy novels written by hacks who don't know how to end a story and die before finishing. Besides if you think the grrrl power nonsense in GoT is insufferable, wait until they get ahold of the sniffing, ball busting, ungrateful megacunts of WoT. Just thinking of what they would do with a character like Nynaeve gives me cancer.

The book acknowledges them as megacunts though. and the main theme of the book is both genders working together. Of course they could fuck it up and twist the story, in fact they probably would.

I'm amazed he managed to fit so many mary sues in one book

Shit would make the Khaleesi look like a warm 50's housewife ready to take your shoes and rub your shoulders.

episode 1 is already out

Fuck adaptations. They ruin everything. Best thing they could do is adapt shitty things and try and make them better. At least there's no disappointment there.

The books really paints women in a bad light, either it'll never get made or it'll get "fixed"

...

more like The Wheel of Filler

TV series confirmed

TV execs would probably love it, since they can keep the story going for ever if show becomes successful. Even if story and world are retarded, show would be entertaining to watch if they included constant sniffing, smoothing skirts, and braid tugging just like books did.

Don't forget "dandling on the knee"

Jordan didn't know how to write women (or just knew a lot of feminists in real life). The women in the WoT series number in the hundreds and are, with possibly one or two exceptions, horrible, arrogant, incompetent, fist-on-hip, nagging cunts.


She isn't even the worst. Egwene, Cadsuane and other all trump her for cuntishness.

It's a ruse though, because Jordan secretly loved nothing more than male characters showing female characters their place. Min (arguably only non cunt woman in the story), Aviendha and Elayne all agree to be Rand's bitches together. The strongest woman in the setting, Lanfear, gets turned into a little waifu and along with Moghedian becomes Mordin's little pet. The leashed female channelers are practically broken little pets. The Aes Sedai that abducted Rand are forced to kneel before him and beg for forgiveness. Mat basically exists to fix women's mistakes. Logain starts a depowered captive and ends up making his own harem out of the women that enslaved him by making them his own familiars with a kiss. Red Ajah are political lesbians, and considered bitches even by the cattiest of other Aes Sedai. There's tons of lesbian experimenting, but staying attracted to women into adulthood is considered a sign of arrested development.

The Whee of Time has always been the thinking man's fantasy series.

Oh you!

just like real life

Not every woman is incompetent man. Have you seen how well some women strip or whore?

now that's the kind of mime I can get behind

...

youtube.com/watch?v=606xRt9Yav8

that pilot was made just to keep the rights

an actual show is going to be made.

The series ends with the main dude having a harem of three hot wives, who all agreed to share him.

(((They))) won't allow these books to be adapted without cucking Rand first.

Egwene, I hate that character so much it was awesome she died however she should have died in an embarrassing way.

interesting and is probably what they play at shows, but i like the orchestra version more though and it would certainly fit for a show intro.

So, please correct me if I've been misinformed, but I was told WoT is really oddly feminist in that only women can use magic, because the kind of magic men uses is evil and drives them insane?

I always stayed away from the books after I was told this.

It's been a while since I read the series but the way remember it, it's like this:

There was some magical event that lead the part of magic that men use to be corrupted, this is bad. So men who use that magic can turn insane if they abuse the power, which it's hard not to because shit dude, you're all powerful.

Women's wing of magic isn't corrupted so they'll be just fine, but this also means that women who have the gift are dragged off to something like Xavier's school for mutants.

There's probably more details, but that's all I can remember.

yes because men saved the world before and women decided not to help the result was the tainting of men's magic.
Anyway the main character Rand (a guy) is a savior type that has to save the world, the women try in vain to control him. All attempts fail.
He eventually cleanses the magic so that men no longer go insane from using said magic.

was this written by Ron Paul or something?

Why can't more Western fiction end that way?

What if they make Rand a strong black man who pimps white sedai bitches?

(((because)))

MUH DICK

...

Cunts and kikes, like always. Fuck them both, my hatred of them is the only reason I look forward to Eurabia.

Because cuck writers don't want to piss off a non-existent feminist audience.

So, are the books worth reading? I'm kind of interested because of the polygamy aspects.


The problem is that the female/feminist audience exists. Women make up 70% of all purchases (despite not making a fraction of the money that they spend) and have generally shit taste, so corporations naturally cater to them, since you can just keep shitting out Twilight rehashes and they'll keep buying them.

Sorry, I realize I wasn't being clear.

When I say "feminist", I am of course referring to the man-hating, ball-busting breed.

Twilight and similar fiction are not quite feminist in that respect, considering there's a whole lot of male idolization going on with Edward and Jacob and Christian Grey. They may be shit books, but man-hating they are not.

When I think of a non-existent feminist audience, I'm thinking of how Twilight and 50 Shades are wildly successful while Cisbusters flops harder than Melissa McCarthy off the diving board.

books are cuck anti-white shit

Absofuckenlutely not
The stupid turbo cunts constantly getting themselves captured and then digging themselves in deeper and deeper through their own colossal retardation and when a man or two braves all odds and rescues their dumb cunts they reach the mega ultra cunt singularity just to bitch at them
That is just the first couple of books

Women have ruined sci-fi and fantasy literature. It has little to do with feminism (albeit every woman is a feminist and wants her "equal" representation), it's how they drag leftist ideology everywhere they go, along with their godawful standards and selling points.

Doesn't help that the vast majority of writers are numale cucks that will do anything to be graced with female approval.

So now we live in the day and age where aboriginal astronauts are a thing in science fiction, where stories are all about morals and pushing agenda instead of exciting adventure and exploration, and where racial and gender quotas are strictly maintained.

It's gotten to the point the only kind of sci-fi literature I can stomach is 40k, and even there you can see the rot take hold.


Well, fuck that shit then.

Fucking where?

Ever notice a "curvy" redhead in the Abnett books doing outlandish acrobatics? Ever wonder how she got there? Or why his latest Inquisition book features an uninteresting cunt as the protagonist? Turns out Abnett is now a henpecked husband to a feminist, and it shows in his writing.

Then you have Mechanicum by Graham McNeill, again featuring a completely boring female protagonist that happens to be a Mary Sue psyker with this awesome power to figure out how any machines works.

Also this:
>‘Typical,’ said Severine. ‘You never read of a maiden rescuing a man from a dragon.’
>‘I guess not,’ agreed Dalia. ‘I suppose it didn’t fit with the times when they were written.’

And here is the written blowjob the cuck writer gives about his other female Mary Sue.

The next book, Nemesis, has a goddamn "I'm going to my bunk" line in there. The book was released in 2010.

And this is all ignoring the more and more prevalent presence of subhumans and cunts throughout.

The curvy redhead doesn't sound so bad (when I think curvy I think pic related) maybe that was written as his fetish or something like that…..

But the rest however yeah its pretty cucked. I am glad I didn't read any of this shit because Horus Heresy interests me more.

The last two books I mentioned are from the Horus Heresy.

But 40k is done for. With the higher profile its getting due to vidya and all the good writers becoming good goy cuckmales the setting will be ruined in another 5 years.

"Love can bloom on the battlefield" won't be a meme anymore.

This guy knows what the fucks up.

Nynaeve is Robert Jordan in Mary Sue form. A stupid village healer who can only make poultices but suddenly knows how to fix a fucking saidar severence? Can track over miles even though she hadn't been out of her fucking village EVER? Marries the last king of Malkier? I wanted Nynaeve to get gutted by a spear maiden for the longest fucking time. Maybe Bain or Chaid. Fuck me, I hate all of them.

WoT will be fucking boring not to mention really fucking stupid. If I have to read about Aviendha being bipolar or Rand getting punked out by a crazy ghost in his head or oiled mustaches and dice throwing, I'll set fire to a Jew.

Even better; the author is dead so there's not limit to how they can fuck it up!

i liked sin city.
that's about it.

...

Wow, she died? I stopped reading when Crossroads of Twilight was released and I couldn't get past the mindnumbing 200 page prologue. Hearing that the megacunt died (she was worse than Nynaeve or Elayne) makes me maybe pick it up again. Even though I'll have no clue who 95% of the characters are.

I reread over and over the chapter in one of the later books where a couple of the cunts are forced to apologise to one of the the guys by some ancient heroine brought back to life. Was a series highlight.

the only thing awesome was balefire and the ability to rewrite time.

everything else in it is shit

Wow what a fucking shitlord.

I think I like Robert Jordan


wew

Not really, the female Aes Sedai managed to lose power, knowledge and prestige over time. They came across as stupidly childish and were only respected due to their diminishing magic, politicking and long lives.

Rand pretty much curb stomped the bitches throughout the books.

Remember that they were more scared of a saviour usurping their ill-gotten power than of Lucifer destroying the world.

THE DARK ONE DID NOTHING WRONG

Except being really shit and recruiting only the most retarded people to follow, then setting them a bunch of tasks to complete which accomplished nothing. Then when he gave orders to not harm the one thing he was going to use as his vessel they harmed it and he still lost.

The whole story of WoT is that the dark one was fucking trying to lose.

Sniffs.

Seemed more like the point was that the Dark One was fundamentally the same kind of stupid evil as the followers he recruited. He got a grand total of two, maybe three, truly competent Forsaken and even those were undermined by stark raving lunacy, monomaniacal obsession with revenge, and complexity addiction respectively. He recruited these kind of broken people because he saw himself in them and thought it good.

Actually, self defeating evil would be a better way to put it now that I think about it.

maybe he won in the end?

...

It would have been interesting to read more about that universe.

Wew, I don't even want to think about how badly some TV execs would fuck up everything with balefire.

Theres actually a fair bit of it on the kindle store, it's almost like not needing the support of a (((Publisher))) makes them freer to explore possibilities hell one i read was about a guy building a harem of 12 year old girls (that one was a little too fucked up for me and i spend my time hanging out with you degenerates)

I'd recommend the Daniel Black series (first book is called Fimbulwinter), It's your pretty stock standard normie gets transported to fantasy realm story but dude becomes a bad ass sorcerer, pretty much gary sue tier but fuck it it's not shakesphere your reading this cheap shit its for mindless fun not for great literature. Through out dude builds a harem and an arcology to survive ragnarok.
Ratings : 7 / 10 (it's shit but it's entertaining shit also each entry in the series is like $3 what the fuck do you expect)
Quality of writing: 5 / 10 (not the best self published work i've read but hardly the worst)
Boner factor: 3 / 10 (it's meh but hey harems is what you asked for isnt it)

dont listen to that moron,
the first 3 books & the last three are great

it's the middle books that suck.

Overall, its a good read. the cuntiness is there & its realistic, like the poster above said, they get put in their place eventually..

pretending woman arent cunty would be a bigger mistake imo

No, he lost. He wants to win, nothing would make him happier than to turn Creation into his own shadow but he can't. The Dark One's achilles heel is that he is bound outside of the Wheel and only able to exert the barest fraction of his power into the world when the binding inevitably weakens every few Ages or so. This forces him to rely on mortal followers to do the bulk of the work for him and crate the conditions necessary to bring him fully through. Since he is the embodiment of spite, jealousy, betrayal, and everything negative, this makes him a rather poor at picking followers that won't betray each other, try to betray him, run off the deep end, powertrip, and other classic villain idiocies that ruin any sort of large organization. He can't change this or even see it as a huge glaring flaw in his gameplan because he can't change in any real way. If he could then he wouldn't be the Dark One. So he tries endless variations of the same doomed scheme with the same brand of powerful yet worthless psychos working for him. Time without end.

I doubt they have any interest in the thinking man's fantasy series

The middle books are the best. It's where he hit his stride. the first two/three books are the most generic "ye olde fantasie" backdrop and events possible. Books 4, 5, and esepcially 6 are the peak of the series. The next few dragged, then book nine was good, and then it all went to shit with book ten.

N-name?

Women are not good enough to rape.

all this shitty artwork is making me not want to read the books, despite the constant praise my sister and her bf give it.

should i give it a read? i'm more interested in picking up dune atm.

Pick up Dune.

I read his books. All the heroines are whores and used good, and the hero is too much of a Gary Stu that doesn't have to struggle for anything.

I had more fun reading the translation of Sevens because it is an interesting spin of the usual "fantasy RPG as story" trope, the Ancestors are great.

Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? is likely the best work in that regard, even though it eschews any mention of lewds. It just works because the author takes his time to focus and build on character interactions.

Western writers either go full porn, which is boring anyway, or some mangled numale cuck shit (Good Intentions) featuring complete harlots and unlikeable "strong womyn" there to appease the feminists that will never read his works.


Okay.

if you're out there user, no homo but i-i miss you.
maybe a little homo

Anybody ever tell you to stop your stories one line earlier?

So how many of the megacunts get killed or otherwise sufer a fate they deserve

Ive read the first and second books and im halfway through the third book. First book was great second was passable and the third is hot trash I barely read a page a day because I just don't care about any of it. What the fuck happened, am I the only one who feels this way?

I got a problem, i`m reading the first books a few hundred pages in and read this thread and i realized i am fucked, i have all the Wheel of time books! Fuck me and compulsive desire to have a series after i read a book or parts of it and like it.
same thing with dune and dritzz books.
I hope the malazan books and black company books are better.

Come on!

As many times as your grandma told your mom to swallow.

Bump

The Black Company books in fantasy India are kinda iffy

anyone have any suggestions for "redpilled" ( ie non-leftist trash) fantasy novels then?

A handful get extremely unpleasant endings, like Elaida but the vast majority suffer no real comeuppance other than grudgingly apologizing to men who save them or gritted teeth acceptance that they aren't the obvious superior sex. At least Egwene got turned into a collar slave for awhile. That was fun but it only made her more cunty and arrogant in the end.

Nigger, what could have possibly made you think that anything pas the second Dune book was a good idea? Do you live under a rock or something?

The second book is actually Part 4 of the first book, Herbert just ran out of space/time to throw it in the OG release.

Children is alright though in comparison to the NEXT book. But it gets better again with the last two.

I tried reading the Malazan books, they are a complete clusterfuck of shit flying whichever way. I didn't understand half of what was going on because the author seems to have had no editorial oversight whatsoever and typed whatever came to his mind.

The only book in the series I remotely enjoyed was the one with the not-Mongols.

Fantasy and sci-fi are pretty much dead genres killed by the left. Have been for 20+ years now.

She was legitimately insufferable after that. That was the point where any affection I had for some of the good (i.e. male) characters was overtaken by hatred of the cunt (i.e. cunt) characters.

Sword of Truth basically says fascism, with the right man in charge, is the way to go.

Anons I'm curious, what are your opinions on The Black Company?

Sorry it's just the book boards here are deader than dead

...

Prince of Thorns and the sequels maybe? The book opens up with Jorg, the little shit protagonist, killing a peasant after having raped his two daughters.

Other highlights include him stabbing a priest in the head because he found him irritating, trying to murder his pregnant stepmother, chocking an old servant lady to death…


Too bad the writer is insane.

So, never then? Well, let me be the first then. You should end your stories one line shorter.

Not under a rock but sheltered and i kept hearing Dune was good so i fucked up by not looking on the internet to inform myself

Except it's not what i would call well-written

...

kek, that comeback was lame as fuck. go work on your bantz.

I only read up to Water Sleeps but I liked it well enough. Something about it made me lose interest in it over time though. Hard to put my finger on exactly what it was but I just got bored with it.

...

i don't get it

was she in that dune miniseries?

I'm guessing it's just because her eyes are blue.

In Dune the most important substance is this drug called Spice which expands your consciousness for a variety of possible effects. Using it makes your eyes glow blue. The planet the story chiefly takes place on is so concentrated your eyes change color naturally just from living there before long.

Herbert confirmed that "Kwisatz Haderach" has the same amount of syllables as "Knickknack Paddywhack."

Basically spice is important because…

1. Makes you live longer
2. Can give you bullshit psychic powers rarely
3. If you take enough of it you turn into a future-sensing space slug that can navigate FTL spacetime which is important because computers are banned

Jordan's wife is pretty protective of his books so hopefully she won't let them fuck it up.

How is any of that edginess redpilled?

She was fake she only cared about power first it was being in the women's circle, then the wisdom's apprentice then Aes Sedai.
She abandoned Rand when he was mortally wounded after he tried to save her because….. It not an Aes Sedai to do to be involved with a man who can channel. She was learning to be Aes Sedai for a few weeks and she turned against Rand despite growing up with him and supposedly loving him.
She is a cold bitch. The worst and most irradiating character that never learned from her mistakes. She got power handed to her by other morons rather than earning it and she quickly abused it at every opportunity and has the audacity to lecture Rand about half-truths and rumors about what he supposedly did later.
There are other irrataing women characters but egwene is the worst. Maybe a troll on how shallow feminists are.
Nynaeve starts out terrible (there is good in there she sets out to find the boys out of loyalty) and matures into a fairly tolerable character she becomes pretty loyal to Rand. I dislike that Egwene gets the better of her it was cheap and not necessary.

A knife is a scary thing right enough, held to your throat, sharp and cool. The fire too, and the rack. And an old ghost on the Lichway. All of them might give you pause. Until you realize what they are. They’re just ways to lose the game. You lose the game, and what have you lost? You’ve lost the game.

That’s the secret, and it amazes me that it’s mine and mine alone. I saw the game for what it was the night when Count Renar’s men caught our carriage. There was a storm that night too, I remember the din of rain on the carriage roof and the thunder beneath it.

Big Jan had fair hauled the door off its hinges to get us out. He only had time for me though. He threw me clear; into a briar patch so thick that the Count’s men persuaded themselves I’d run into the night. They didn’t want to search it. But I hadn’t run. I’d hung there in the thorns, and I saw them kill Big Jan. I saw it in the frozen moments the lightning gave me.

I saw what they did to Mother, and how long it took. They broke little William’s head against a milestone. Golden curls and blood. And I’ll admit that William was the first of my brothers, and he did have his hooks in me, with his chubby hands and laughing. Since then I’ve taken on many a brother, and evil ones at that, so I’d not miss one or three. But at the time, it did hurt to see little William broken like that, like a toy. Like something worthless.

When they killed him, Mother wouldn’t hold her peace, so they slit her throat. I was stupid then, being only nine, and I fought to save them both. But the thorns held me tight. I’ve learned to appreciate thorns since.

The thorns taught me the game. They let me understand what all those grim and serious men who’ve fought the Hundred War have yet to learn. You can only win the game when you understand that it is a game. Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

lol ok

try going back & asking reddit

Never read past book ten. Please tell me that didn't happen. Nynaeve is the strongest female modern channeler. Don't tell me she closes to that cunt.

She just wanted to be consistent with what was already there.

Ehh, I think he did a pretty decent job, only gripe i have is that the ending is kind of a confusing mess.

That pilot is pretty shitty, glad someone else has the right.

How is Sanderson shit? I never read anything by him

I'm curious too, from the couple novels of his I've read he's a pretty good author.

Men are also way more powerful too.

The Stormlight archive is pretty good so far.
I did not care for the mistborn series.

I wastold multiple time it was worth reading, anything in particular you didn't like?

Good grasp of world-building, shit everything else. Prose in particular is atrocious. His characters are already archetypes that bleed between books.

I suggest R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series? Basically this super-intellect from a completely secluded cult seizes control of the fantasy world's version of Christians during a Holy War against fantasy Muslims.Also, every magician is irredeemably damned.

It's a lot deeper than that, but the real fun is in the way it's layered as a story. It's not shallow like most fantasy is. It's not, "Man is peasant, finds magic item, saves the world and fucks bitches." Plus it's been decried by feminists for it's treatment of female characters.

basically this.

I could only stomach the first book and half of the second. It is basically what happens when a thirty beta male tries to rewrite LotR.


wut.. why?


That was the best part of it. Most was just Jorth the Hedgehog

That's what I thought when my friends recommended it.


pic related

i liked wheel of time well enough but that shit would be awful

Yeah thats my take away from it too still it's better than Elliot Kay read his other works like poor mans fight it's pretty much his ideal future (no white people)

Wut why? thats like banning hammers

I tried reading his shit once he and Jordan both do this make up words shit that just pisses me off.

you dont need to make a title just call em witches for fucks sake

wow I can't believe these fucking idiots that go to school and just make up words like 'psychologist' or 'engineer'. You don't need to make a title just call yourself educated for fucks sake

You can't post something like that and not give us the sauce.

Short answer is more than 10000 ago before the first dune robots enslaved humanity and were so much a bunch of assholes that human revolted and destroyed them, computers were banned because human don`t want another AI to redo that stuff

Yeah it is dumb but that`s Kevin J. Anderson for you

The original Black Company books by Glen are awesome. The first three that is. Malazan on thee other hand is straight up trash. It is lefty trash 101 and very fucking boring. Even the "epic" battles are a joke.

Sword of Truth is commie shit, even the writers main inspirations is some commie cunt feminist bitch.


Scott Bakker is a narcasstic fuck who thinks that all humans are idiots and they should just self loaf. Fuck off.

Lord Of The Rings.
Chronicles Of Narnia.
Lovecraft.
The Squires Tale.
Horus Heresy up to book 8, STOP THERE, OH GOD STOP THERE.
Starship Troopers.
Daniel Abraham.
David Gemmell.
Dave Duncan.
David Gemmell.
Tad Williams.

Just some series and arthurs to check out.

Fair enough. And yeah, I dislike Bakker's philosophy, but I enjoy his novels. He did write a hit piece on Trump supporter's today which left a bad taste in my mouth.

The thing about fantasy is by its very nature, 99% of it is shit, with the occasional diamond in the pile. Leftists flock to it in droves, and use it as a medium to act out their silly ideas in an Utopian setting. Terry Goodkind with his Ayn Rand/Objectivism worship is the funniest. No funnier moment in fantasy than when Richard kills a bunch of anti-war protesters.

Apparently Malazan Book of the Fallen is going to be the next big Hollywood attempt after GOT. I think Erikson optioned it out for a tv show. I'd love to see The Black Company on the big screen or television, but let's face it, they would poz it to hell.

How about Joe Abercrombie?
.

All of this.

Sword of Truth is actually Holla Forums in book format. In book five, a minority group that keeps itself in power by controlling the schools and teaching everyone in their society that they were the victim of a horrible injustice in the past and are therefore owed a great debt by the "evil" majority (and the horrible injustice may not have actually happened in the first place). They used this (along with being moneylenders who control the economy) to take control of the entire country during a crisis. Also communists are consistently depicted as pure evil and Ayn Rand was anti-feminist.
Series is still trash however

It's Prince of Thorns, not Prince of Nothing you illiterate cretin. And yes, Bakker is a hack with a fixation on feces.

I remember that book. The retarded country packed the military full of feminists. At the end of the book, they are all easily raped and slaughtered by the commies. I remember thinking that this was the most red pilled book of all time.

Kay is a bonafide cuck.

And the real kicker is that it's not even particularly good military sci-fi, since it feels like they're still using 20th century warfare, but have spaceships to get them to the next battlefield.


I didn't stop, I deeply regret it.

Past that point it's basically a bunch of leftists cucks ruining everything cool about 40k and vomiting their female Mary Sues and pickers of cotton all over the place.

Every famous fantasy/sci-fi author of today is a Marxist parasite. Just look at what they did to Simmons for daring to release Flashback (which I recommend everyone reading, pretty redpilled).

How in the fuck do they plan to untangle that clusterfuck of stupid?

Tryhard, edgy shit, but without any of the humor of Prince of Thorns.

Everyone is a shit character, the world is shit, the ending is shit, it's all shit no matter where you look. If you want to read a boring book about awful people going on an awful adventure, he's your guy, just don't expect to get emotionally invested in any of the characters. And one of the guys ends up as a willing cuckold.

That's why the Sad Puppies writers group was started.

breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2016/04/26/sci-fis-hugo-awards-swept-anti-sjw-authors/

I like the Monster Hunter series. It's written by a gun store owner. Imagine modern day Witchers using shotguns loaded with silver buckshot.

Seriously? Sick of this ebic meme.

If you can overlook the tides of ridiculous "Capitalism is bad, and capitalists should feel bad" bullshit in Midnight Tides, Rhulad's personal story and the Tiste Edur's story line is pretty good, IMO. How a tribal people are conquered by the people they conquered unfolds in Reaper's Gale. Ok, but not great. Potentially an unintentional redpill about debt slavery.

I had forgotten about Simmons, but I heard The Abominable was absolutely blue-pilled, and boring to boot. Flashback was damn good, though.

I actually met Joe Abercrombie and had a few beers at a hotel with him. I was living in Dubai and he was on a book tour for Best Served Cold. The guy is a total misanthrope, but pretty funny. Now that I think about it, I remember when I was living there, there was some big scandal on the Arab news about Mossad agents who had assassinated a Hamas commander who was staying there. Funny.

Are you retarded? Have you ever heard of SJWs?

Theorical question: In wht order should someone read the Malazan series to not feel too much lost?

I keep seeing them in bookstores and i remembered someone i know that wanted to know the answer to that question

Start with the beginning of the main series, Gardens of the Moon. I was told to reserve judgement until I read Deadhouse Gates, and honestly, it was a big change in tone and content. Much less Wizards of the Coast type fare.

I wouldn't really recommend reading anything by Ian C. Esslemont unless you really like the Malazan world. You can read the Bauchelain and Korbal Broach novellas any time after Memories of Ice.

Or you could just tell your friend to read Glen Cook's The Black Company series, which is what Erikson tried to imitate, to limited success.

Yeah that series is pretty comfy
Government are a pack of cunts
Gives a pretty legit reason for why they keep this monster shit under wreaps

All the hot bitches that wanted Mat's dick and he gets stuck with an annoying little niggress.

All his books follow a cookiecutter recipe and come off same-ish after you read more than one.
He is the absolute worst at writing female characters, probably why they got him to finsh WoT.

Just read the chapters with the best character in the entire series. Scrap the rest.

Itkovian Otanthalian is a bad ass and I will never forget those paragraphs.

Have you tried Simon R Green, Larry Correia or Peter F Hamilton? (Last one can be hit and miss).

I'm currently reading through a fuckton of Fantasy and soon Sci-fi novels to find the best but there's a lot of them. Also my god the marxism is really strong in most of them.

I do however think Malazan is pretty well written and a great series, it just goes to shit towards the end as is so very common.

Nigger, please.

kill yourself pleb

Actually dead, or the postmodern horseshit?

I gave up finding anything worthwhile in that pile of Marxist horseshit and just read translated Asian novels. At least there men are men, women are cute girls, and harems end up in harems.

Even better, no white guilt, no muh tolerance, no subhumans.

Robert Jordan died for real

I was practicing my Holla Forums impression

Does reading Shakespeare and Time and Peace count?
Alright name some

The only thing I appreciated in the series was the potential of new ideas, having a golden age of magic utopia that fucked over the world is always fun. Having the good guys fighting the bad guys lead by ebil dark lord who is also opposed by third wheel man-made chaotic evil was an interesting dynamic

Horus say, "Heresy A-OK!"

I respect Malazan because it's essentially a group's custom GURPS campaign turned into a novel series.

Thing is despite Kay's cuckishness i like the first book it's just die hard on a spaceship which really says more about that movies formula than it does about kay's writing

I don't know, but I just couldn't force myself through knowing from friends that the book itself was the worst of the series.

It's just a pity the final book will never be released

Never understood virgins getting triggered that not every female character is a damsel in distress

Welp, I now know why this is called Holla Forums and not /lit/

why is that user?

Moral relativism is coming to 40k, they're already busy undermining the Emperor and casting him as a villain.

In 10 years Chaos will be the good goys.


That part was great, yes, but everything else is just fucking retarded. The setting is just America with spaceships, there is next to no proper understanding of military attitudes or how space combat works, it's guilty of every sin in military sci-fi history, from a multi racial cast to cunts in the military.

The whole reason for war is free college education. That's it. It's like Cuck Sanders wrote it. It was just sad to read.

Take your meds

Go in the oven first.

Both of you go back to whatever flavor of politics board you prefer.

Hillary is a confirmed Darkfriend

No she would be a forsaken, trump would be the darkfriend

Nah, Trump is this age's Dragon Reborn, Come to unite this divided land. All other oaths forsworn and bonds broken as the world gathers to make America great again.

huh?

WoTfags like to pretend the last book never came out.

Apparently it was that bad

Yeah lets not forget planet mexico where the protagonist comes from… that shit is reverse jetsons with no whites.


I started reading the books because of this thread just finished the Dragon reborn… how badly did i fuck myself on a scale of 1 - mass effect 3 with the ending quality?


Pic unrelated though that movie always makes me cry bitch tears in the hospital scene

I didn't think it was too bad, has like a 200 page battle that's pretty cool. The ending is a little confusing and things aren't really wrapped up enough for my liking but its definitely better than Mass Effect 3 by a long shot.

Ahh okay here i was afraid Brandon Sanderson was gonna take it in a weird direction once Jordan died I tried Mistborn i just cant like Sanderson as an author
