Reminder.
I love how the guy being lifted in the back doesn't even look annoyed, he just looks impressed that the other dude can lift him so easily.
Seems to me it's literally one guy who gets triggered and any kind of Sword and Sorcery. Just ignore him instead of shitting up threads with your autistic back and forth shitposting.
Pic reminded me of the ending shot of Tarsem's Immortals.
I've read We!

Stop that
Why the fuck do so many modern fantasy books feel like YA novels with a couple handfuls of middle school edgelord-tier things thrown in so they don't just get sold in the YA section?
because fantasy is a YA genre
Is there any Sci-fi or Fantasy about strong family values?
The Bible
>he's trying to be funny
Many, probably. There is christian fantasy, but there are also probably many less known indie works around. Many mil-sf writers are also conservative, but to find one where this message is more than a subtle sub-text you would need to find someone who's read a lot of them.

>Monthly Reading for April: We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
Actually it's Wolfblade by Jennifer Fallon,go read it anons!
On a scale from 1 to Chinkshit, how chinkshit are the Cradle books? I can tolerate mild doses of chinkshit but I would say I draw the line at kowtowing arrogant nobles.
Also, anybody have a link for Dungeon Deposed 2 handy? Shit got nuked off the internet and amazon for some reason.
All the monthly reading books so far
/#F!HppjiQDT!02X5rRCwevdrrz9wzdE0NA
Add this mega to the next OP
Make me, nerd.
if you want to meme something, meme something that is actually good like masters of rome
it is worse than quality chinkshit
It’s about a solid four. Less killing intent and bowing, and more pill popping and desperate grinding.
humor is a good thing user. The only time it isn't is when the jokes are bad, but not bad enough to wrap back around to hilarious.
If I ever write another novel, I pray it can be hilarious
no
Disappointing.
Do you happen to know any that are subtle sub-text at least?
The Vorkosigan series, especially the books about the main character's clone.
Children of Time worth a read?
Yes
Cyberpunk, too. Half of fantasy and sci fi ends up as beta wish fulfillment.
And the best fantasy and scifi is where the character fucks up so bad he can never recover or dies
Any sci-fi or fantasy where members of the female race get oiled up and wrestle each other?
incomprehensibly based and marspilled
In Rogues in the House Conan throws a prostitute out of a window and into a cesspit.
Then fights a man-ape with kitchen cutlery. Which is the best part of the story
I think it's the only story where Conan straight up murders a guy. Not kill him in self-defense or because the guy previously wronged him (like the prostitute); just an innocent man who happened to bump into Conan at the wrong place and the wrong time.
Unless there is a rival prostitute to battle in the d
Cesspit I'm not interested
Conan kills a guy in a barfight in Tower of the Elephant, and in another assassinates a ship's captain to steal his ship and crew. Unless he's in charge of protecting something he acts like a complete murder hobo.
There is so read it, you little faggot.
No thanks, Conan is for neckbeards only.
If you're lying to me I will find you.
The bar fight was exactly that; a bar fight. So not murder. Conan definitely wanted to kill that pirate captain to take over his ship and crew, but Conan at least DUELED him instead of outright murdering him. The guy he murdered in Rogues in the House was simply walking down the stairs after doing business with the prostitute Conan was after. He was completely innocent and Conan killed him purely out of anger. And then ironically enough Conan DOESN'T kill the prostitute who definitely deserves to die because Conan doesn't kill women.
Nice try, neckbeard.
>because Conan doesn't kill women.
Cuck
Conan spends most of his time as a pirate or bandit. He will have killed lots of people just to steak their shit.
If they fought back; sure. But that was cold-blooded murder.
Conan would rather fuck women than kill them, incel.
Conan. They are high T girls(male) though.
Do both like a real man
He does you illiterate twat - but how would you know when you haven't read anything Howard wrote?
How would you know about other books you shitpost on when you only reread Howard and Wagner?
>Conan doesn't kill women
> Conan does kill women
Stop seething and choose one
I'm the same guy - you're still illiterate.
Who the fuck is Wagner you fag?
I'm the usual threadmaker, I'll add the books user. I cleaned them up a bit, added metadata, covers, months and converted everything to epub where needed. I uploaded them to gdrive as it's easier for me to manage and edit every month.

>Who the fuck is Wagner you fag?
kinda off-topic but is there a good alternative to calibre?
i use calibre on my server along with calibre-web so i can read my shit wherever i want to. i really havent bothered to fix the metadata and my ebook library is over 20k books right now with many duplicates or different formats. so i figured its time i started organizing it and get rid of all the duplicates. issue is calibre craps itself everytime i try to do anything other than just adding new books to the library. it just cant handle all them books.
>20k books
Did you by any chance get that 600gb dump floating around? If yes can you link it, I've been meaning to dl it.
> 20k books
wtf!?
plenty of tools out there that find duplicates.
No ebook software is designed to handle that many books. Best thing to do in Calibre is to split that into separate libraries so it's more manageable.
nah i accumolated it over time however i recently found a mega folder with pretty much anything people could want. which includes a lot of classics and shit. the western authors folder seems to have pretty much anything from PKD to Wagner.

My favorite story is when Conan white knights the grieving, enslaved woman, chases her down, then apologizes and vows that he doesn't rape women. Then for all his trouble he has to fight the Moon Presence from Bloodborne.
Is that Vale of Lost Women? If so then yea that's definitely one of REH's weaker Conans.
If you've read and enjoyed Wagner's Kane (specifically the book Night Winds) then you owe it to yourself to watch this because it's probably going to be the closest thing we'll ever get to a Kane movie. Like most of the stories in Night Winds this film is a straight up horror story in a Sword & Sorcery setting.
What are some books that revolve around a father and daughter?
Any book featuring Lazarus Long.
Brandon is the best fantasy author alive because he actually bothers to finish his books.
>goes back in time to fuck his mother
How can one man be more based?
While this is getting old, I AM glad that you've moved on from Sarah J Fatass.
Is 'Best Served Cold' a good book if I enjoyed normie fantasy like the First Law trilogy and the usual Lynch/Rothfuss/GRRM shit? It has a female protagonist so I just wanna know if it's full of poorly written badass grrl power shit or if it's actually good.
Red Sister sucks, and I like Senlin Ascends. Suggest me something.
There is no quality chinkshit. A western take is the only way to make it good
Are you 12?
Gormenghast series by Mervyn Peake for a similar atmosphere.
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, the author has stated that this is one of the books that inspired him to write the Books of Babel.
Tigana or anything else by Guy Gavriel Kay if you're looking for similar prose.
>enjoying Lynch and First Law
I guess you enjoy eating shit
>I enjoyed normie fantasy like the First Law trilogy and the usual Lynch/Rothfuss
>rothfuss
If you liked that, I can't think of a single thing you wouldn't like.
Kek
Recommend me B and C grade cyberpunk from the 80s. Real pulpy bandwagon jumping shit no one remembers anymore.
Is cradle the only western xianxia?
thoughts on him? in my op, he's pretty damn good
of course if you enjoyed first law you'll like it.
theres also William D arands thing, but its not anywhere close to as good as cradle. He falls into the trap of developing his protag too quickly. Thats probably one of cradle's biggest strengths.
who? If his update on Kingkiller is anything other than "It's still shit." he's a hack whose opinion is worthless.
I agree. Personally I already feel it goes a bit too fast, I don't think it has to be so hectic and "adventurey". I wouldn't mind if he made it to jade all just while being in sacred valley, focusing on actually existing in the system.
there is painting the mists, and recently tao wong wrote "a thousend li step". dont know if its any good.
Suggest me something a book, or whatever to read. Here's what I read so far: Winternight, Lirael, 12 Kingdoms, Deerskin, Books of Babel
What about you look at the sticky, you fucking newfag.
Massive faggot
yeah I like him, only dinofags who only read shit like Conan don't like him
What's wrong with Abercrombie? Everyone seems to hate his work but I can't tell if it's a meme or not.
>remnant released tomorrow
>cradle 7 released August
My body is ready.
I don't hate him, but reading his books is very unsatisfying. He writes some good characters (mainly Glokta), but his stories don't really go anywhere and the details of the world he created are a complete mess that don't make sense. Maybe if you're the kind of reader who only cares about "cool" scenes and never sits back and tries to take in the bigger picture, you'll enjoy him. But from the perspective of somebody who reads a lot of epic fantasy Abercrombie is definitely a hack writer half-assing his way into the genre.
see
I recognize that list. You're the same autistic user that got banned from the discord aren't you?
I particularly enjoyed the part when you claimed you were raped when you were 12(?) in a heated argument about rape in fantasy.
how has tolkien still not been bested
He was bested before he even began.
Both of you Conan fags need to stop shitting up every thread with your homoerotic debauchery and go back to where you belong.
>not even man enough to look other posters in the face and respond directly to them
Seethe harder Tolkienbabby.
In terms of influence? He can't be. He's basically the patron god of fantasy now. No other author has been able to rise above the march of time to join him at the table and form a new pantheon of fantasy writer gods, Tolkien reigns alone. Despite being dead for decades new writers are forced to grapple with his legacy, with his name, which is known everywhere.
GRRM could have the potential to join Tolkien at the table, he's certainly famous enough, but the real issue is staying power. Can he sustain this level of fame and influence after the HBO series ends? If not he'll just be another popular author that failed to leave his mark and fade into history while Tolkien continues on into the future, alone and brilliant, forever.
I like GRRM. Will I like Abercrombie?
contrarian shitposting stopped being funny a while back
just like Yea Forums wanks off to Tarkovsky and Fellini and other old cunts, so you do Yea Forumsfaggots. Man up and enjoy reading whatever you like.
>GRRM could have the potential to join Tolkien at the table
not happening, no one in the Tolkienverse is half as annoying or badly written as Daenerys 'I can do no wrong, I deserve it all' Targaryen. The only way he can redeem himself is by making her go crazy like her Targ forbearers and ruin everything, that would be kino.
>'I can do no wrong, I deserve it all'
But she does a lot of things wrong, basically dragging a whole continent into war. Being entitled is part of her character, and the last chapter of ADWD suggests she may be going Targ mad.
It's been half a decade since I read the books, maybe I mixed up too much of her show character with her book one. I really hope GRRM has the books ready to be published when the show ends. The crazy Targ angle and the Victarion/Euron chapters are all I care about.
Yeah I understand that, it's been years since I read them too and the show fucks up with my memory sometimes. I've been re-reading the books and they're a lot better than I remembered, with the exception of book 4. Personally, I think book 6 will come out next year and book 7... 2025 if we're extremely lucky.

What, sffg has a discord now?
Rothfuss and Lynch are garbage but I'm in too deep to back out now. It really is amazing how both of their protagonists are badass problem solvers and adventurers but they both fall for childhood crushes and get literally cuckolded
Brandon is the best of the lot.
Metrophage
Hardwired
Streetlethal
I don't even remember Lynch, to be honest. I only remember the ending of the first book because how memorable it was for my 17yo self. The second book was even worse, from what I remember, and I dropped it in the middle.
Lord Dunsany already did
Give me a book that has "The Academy" and a smart protagonist studying there. Bonus points for contemporary or space opera shit.
I just got this craving, don't judge me please.
You are right. Tolkien is shit. Consult Dunsany/Peake/Moorcock.
The first book was a fun read, the second one shit the bed with the naval gargabe, the third one had some decent moments with politics and all but then the protagonist's childhood friend comes back and she acts like some dominatrix, always teasing and cucking him and half the book is him pining for her. It was absolutely revolting
>that part where Locke and Sabetha are dining at some floating restaurant and she literally rappels out of the place mid conversation
I imagine Lynch wrote that scene with one hand while he fiddled his micropenis with the other.
If he did that everyone he loved would have died.

Red rising for scifi
Codex Alera for fantasy

Reads like a edgy 14-year-old Asimov on braindead hollywood action movies. You are around 50 years too late to write this stuff.
That's an apt description honestly, it was supposed to be more about creating a believable world than anything, that's why the plot is like right out of a popcorn flick.
You don't have to log in, if someone is already logged in and worried about their privacy they can always open it incognito. In short is a stupid fucking nigger.
If you want to make it interesting you can add a different concept altogether. Lose the "humans left this shitty rock" trope and replace it with a more action focused conflict. Maybe make it a class war between genetically modified humans (just super smart pure-bloods) and the androids. It's cliche as fuck but a lot better than what you have currently.
What makes it edgy?

Saga of Frost by Robin Bailey (female mc)
Medalon by Jennifer Fallon
I swear that i had a list about evil moms but i can't find it anywhere i can only remember these two
It's Abercrombie. Just go suck your gums in your mom's basement.
They are literally nothing alike. Although Joe at least finishes what he starts....even though his plots never go anywhere and just slowly meander along accomplishing nothing.
>plots
Is Nora Roberts "Year One" worth a read? Or only read it as a big "Fuck You!" to Tomi Adeyemi?
I have all 32 of my teeth, unlike Glokta.
you spelled plods wrong faggot
>Maybe make it a class war between genetically modified humans (just super smart pure-bloods) and the androids
This is what I had planned besides the genetically modified part.
funny how no one ever mentions his "Shattered Seas" trilogy. now THAT was a clusterfuck
Well then you can't self-insert with Abercrombie.. Glokta was literally the only thing worth reading in that entire series.
Any quality fantasy works that have a lot of well done art associated with it, official or not? Spoiler free examples appreciated.
I'm very empathetic so I can relate to almost anyone. I don't need to be a cripple or an ugly incel to like Glokta's character.
They really should have made a movie with John Malkovich hamming it up as Bayaz, it would be unadulterated fun.
fuck /sffg/ I had another story idea.
ive got too many and my worst and most time consuming is at the top of the queue

Damn he does look like he wants to punch someone and start a fight. Even though he is kind.
>evil moms
You mean this cluster fuck?
he looks too small in that image. in the books its described that yaren barely comes up to his chest.
It doesn't look like he will be clapping the snake guy's sister anymore. yaren looks like her cunny bout to get stuffed.
Also. You think the turtle is gonna fuck Lindon's sister? Wtf happen that she got to steal food? Shits got preddy bad.
whats with your obsession with sex.
based on will wights previous stories its probably gonna be some drama that is resolved quickly. either some chick takes interest in lindon or some guy takes interest in yaren and they gotta fight it out together and only do the nasty after the distractions are gone.
In the last bit of infodump in unsouled, it mentions how after lidon betrays that mountain school(heavenly way?) to escape with yerin, they march down and destroy his clan.
>whats with your obsession with sex
>he doesn't think about sex 24/7
>they march down and destroy his clan
dont worry turtlebro is there to save the day
Definitely the seeker of truth, or anything by terry goodkind. Prepare yourself for an emotional tornado full of poignancy, pathos and sexual intimacy. The worldbuilding is phenomenal and far more in depth than anything else on this thread, it actually feels real. The characters are deeply fleshed out, but he warned, this is a VERY complex story so pay attention. If youre not exceptionally bright you will miss out on a lot. Goodkinds philosophies on everything from love to morality are so unapologetically real that many people might get turned off. Do not read the seeker if youre not ready, these books and characters will change your perspective on life. For the better? Maybe, maybe not.
Fffuuuucckkk.
Is that why charity was shocked when she heard lindon was from her territory. She connected his name to the wiped out clan?
Sex-havers get out
No she’s shocked that her nephew was that much of a little shit, and hated that she agreed with Lindon’s reasoning. That’s why she moves through all those different reactions so quickly.
You made a few mistakes
>reading anything by a terry author
>talking about "real" when it's a fucking fantasy book
>listening to a terry's philosophy
>using the words "fleshed out" when describing a book
You failed to intrigue me, and exposed yourself.
Ikr? If I could get some I would finally be able to leave this hell hole.
Uncrowned when?
Will just shitposting on his blog.
Are those supposed to be legit mechanical arms or more like spirit energy ghost shit? I need to re read unsouled but I think I might just wait until he finishes another and have 2 new ones to read.
August (tentatively).
>Are those supposed to be legit mechanical arms or more like spirit energy ghost shit?
legit mechanical. by the end of underlord she as 4 of them that she can retract.
This one looks more convincing to what I had in my head.
This one looks like some iron spider gender swap fanart.
At the end of underlord she had 6 of them.
>sadpanda and fantasy moms
reminds me of this
>exhentai.org
Sorceress mom gettin fucked by everyone including her son
Why does Unsouled get a pass but other YA gets shit on? Is it because Will makes the whole chi spirit thing super complex = mature?
>At the end of underlord she had 6 of them.
really? i didnt think it was that many.
>netorare
I hate when the son shares his mom.
>you get a milf all to yourself
>let me degrade her into a cocksleeve for my buddies
Yes,and other clusterfucks.
Which YA do you see people going about killing people, and not following the moralizing shit you see in todays books?
>oh it's a girl, let me have her live even though she tried to kill me
Wayfarer Redemption and Crown of Stars
Because it’s a comfy coming of age story about two young autists. It’s not preachy nor does it have crazy evil dark lord or we live in a society rebellions.
This is why I like Dawn of Wonder by Jonathan Renshaw. The coming of age part feels like it actually takes time.
Are we ever getting book two?
Don't worry,the son saves her at the end

Eventually. I think I checked his blog after I finished book 1 which was years ago, but apparently he was working on his masters. I just checked and still not even a tentative date. If the quality is as good or better than book 1 I won't complain though

Just finished reading pic related + The Island and Giants short stories. I'm a little underwhelmed, to be honest. It was a good concept but it could have benefitted from a full novel length.
We barely get any glimpse about what's happening outside of the ship or what the things that come through the gates are. At one point, the ship is said to be off course not because of a navigation error but because the universe itself has shifted, but then its never mentioned again.
In the second half of the novel, all sense scale is thrown out of the window and the events may as well take place over a few weeks. It just felt like a waste of a good concept.
But at least the novel didn't suffer from the usual cringey, repetitive dialogue that plagues most of Watts' other novels.
Anyway, 6/10. Would recommend.
How come none of these "grimdark fantasy" meme authors never include interspecies rape/breeding? Hell it doesn't even have to involve sexual intercourse, you could have women get captured and turned into a monster breeding abomination like the Broodmother like Dragon Age had back when it was actually a decent dark fantasy world before BioWare went full retard.
Has anyone read this? The author has an amazing website, and if this book is anything like that or just follows that theme, it might be amazing.
>he never read Prince of nothing series
What classifies as "chinkshit" to you guys?

>the ending is unfulfilling garbage that makes the entire journey to get there feel utterly pointless
That pretty much sums up chinkshit.
a complete and utter lack of logic and coherence. Nothing works like it should, nothing is alive.
Any examples?
You are, quite unironically, a flaming faggot.
Look for his website. It was linked around that time and people were praising it.
>would read based on author name alone

three meme problem, all of wuxia (every single one)...
/sffg/, how many novel ideas do you have queued up?
I added a new one today, so now I'm up to 7.
This book is amazing and everyone should read it
Is that a pokemon? Haven't played or paid attention since ruby, sapphire, emerald.
So I finally made it through the Sword of Truth series, ands wew lad does aside from his Ayn Rand fetish does Goodkind just throw his fetishes in there. Dude even has a NTR fetish but never goes all the way with the female lead.
One instance was when Kalan fucks the protagonist's half brother for the sake of some ritual and starts to enjoy it only for the protagonist to turn on the lights and reveal it was him all along and in another instance some crazy bitch casts a spell on her that gives them a physical bond and then asks some guy to rape her in front of the protagonist so that Kalan is pretty much getting pounded by an invisible cock.
yeah, slurpuff, though that one's a shiny since the normal one is clearly strawberry flavored
It's actually ridiculously powerful because it can quadruple its attack and double its speed in a single turn thanks to its ability and moveset, but you never see it in competitions because it has trouble with steel types
>(((SHVARTS)))
you finished it? yikes lad
This.
>They are literally nothing alike.
They are exactly the same.
its ya totally unrelated to the series people care about, why would we talk about it here?
Sure but then don't set the story up like that, i don't think it's as interesting when every book is a new place.
Finally started some China Mieville the other day, damn this dude can WRITE.

I've read a few of his things, and I honestly have to say, he's not great.
The Last Days of New Paris was interesting, but in retrospect pretty unmemorable with a cast of characters who were so uninteresting I can't remember a thing about them besides the fact that one of them was a dude wearing a bulletproof dress
Un Lun Dun was way better, and I honestly felt disappointed Hemi didn't get the girl in the end, but after reading it for research purposes it made me realize that I didn't want my writing to be anything like it.
Kraken I never finished. that thing was a fucking slog
stop using my memes wrong you fucktard
>my memes
>made these memes myself and someone else is taking credit
Books are taboo for some reason now. I walked into a library and the owner ran up to me and said that I was the first customer in a week.
...
>Eithan had to go to another continent so his whatever relative the monarch was to him, possibly even dad also doesn't know he's fapping
Finally we know why he came to the Blackflame empire.
Or people prefer downloading or buying their books online.
It's the story and characters that suffer from the constant scenechange, not the lore and worldbuilding. It's like no character relations matter becayse they're excessively short lived before theyre obsolete or just plain gone.
>library
>customer
>library
>owner ran up to me
Where do you live that you can walk off the street into a privately owned library?
Or does the state supplement the owner if he opened to the public?
I see you didn't deny that you're a faggot from tg.
Ok then I'll deny it now, I'm not from tg, you need friends for tabletop ganes.
It's a shame Cradle will eventually become shit once Lindon ascends just like how Chinkshit usually becomes shit once the MC ascends to a higher realm. The fights become really bad at that point. We also already know the fights are going to become abstract. Abstract fights are usually terrible. The Suriel/Ozriel shit is one of the worst parts of Cradle. Oh well at least it'll be fun until Lindon ascends
>It doesn't look like he will be clapping the snake guy's sister anymore.
He still could. Will gave his sister some bullshit Path so she's obviously going to be relevant in the future.
How's your weekend going /sffg/?
I got dragged to a mini comic convention by a friend and after leafing through a bunch of Hilda comics for inspiration I had a story idea involving a girl who can control birds and uses them to steal from people
I generally skip large parts of the fights already. Cultivation and politics is the best part
>comic conventions
Grow up.
The author will hopefully end it when he does.
>Cultivation and politics is the best part
These will suffer too.
Yes. But miss slicey will not let some upcoming weak legs thot grab her man. Not after he spilled all his spaghetti in front of her in that medical tent.
He wasn't confessing though. He was just being an autist.
user, we're on an anime image board talking talking about a genre of fiction whose most famous classics were universally intended as children's bedtime stories. If you seriously think you can put on a dignified facade here then you're the one who has a whole lot of growing the fuck up ahead of them.
cope.
What are some books where the typical young hero protagonist gets shit on nonstop by the universe until he becomes an utter shitlord himself as an adult?
I wish there wasn't a 30 year time limit. One of the biggest mistakes Will made. Looking back Unsouled really was terrible
There's tons of edgy shlock out there for you
I agree. It doesn't help that wills idea of a higher realm is actually LESS appealing than other xianxia
>Not after he spilled all his spaghetti in front of her in that medical tent.
Wtf does that even mean?
What are your thoughts on Discworld? I've read about 22-25 of them following the main storylines and quite enjoy them, but I'm a really easy to please guy so I'm worried I'm not looking at them critically enough. For example, with the exception of The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic (mostly due to them being very early works) I love Rincewind, but apparently he has the least enjoyable books to both Pratchett and readers held up only because Rincewind is the main character, and he's really fun.
>universe turning back into chaos
>Some new type of monsters are born and they accelerate the process
>The leaders of the universe are fighting among themselves
This is so fucking boring
If I wanted "edgy shlock" I'd just read Meme Lawrence's books. I want a well told story about a well-meaning protagonist who ends up becoming a villain. Despite how well known the trope is its surprisingly sparse in the genre and the greatest example I can think of isn't even a fantasy novel.
Honestly Lindon not knowing what his realization was makes no sense.
Is Foundryside any good?
Does anyone read his other series besides cradle? I read the valinhall series and it was pretty decent. I think the ending was not very fullfilling. I haven't looked into that other dual series though
I think one of the best things about xianxia is that there's always a higher step, the mystique is never gone, cradle lacks that
Super Sales on Super heroes
*yawn*
Read the first two books in that.
YA drivel with all the pandering.
Protagonist doesn't take dick.
Is Cradle a good book though? I've seen people compare it to Anime, and we all know anime is shit.
Silmarillion- Feanor, Numenoreans, etc.
Children of Hurin too I guess but he doesn't really become a villain but the universe does go out of its way to shit on him. I have a last recommendation and you may think I'm fucking with you but read Darth Plagueis, Labyrinth of Evil, Revenge of the Sith, and Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader. It may be Star Wars but James Luceno is a pretty good writer.
Traveller's Gate sucks. Not a single satisfying resolution
I think he wrote in his blog he doesn't like writing romance because it's so easy to fuck up but he still puts in a bunch of hints so the reader is just left feeling blue balled
Anime is the gateway to hell.
>I think one of the best things about xianxia is that there's always a higher step
This is one of the worst things. I mean I get what you're saying but that's not how it usually works. It usually is the protagonist is one area and there's this highest realm in that area where only old men reach it and once the protagonist leaves the area and goes on the next one even servants are at that previously high level. In the case of ascension it usually involves the protagonist repeating his journey in the lower realm but this time with a higher power level
Holy SHIT ekeri got cucked. How will she EVER recover?
I'm not talking about romance. The way everything ended was just terrible.
?
He's writing a sequel trilogy but it won't be until after his whatever Empire series
fucking bullshit
I never said they executed it well, xianxia novels generally execute none of their nice concepts well, which cradle at least does partially
>which cradle at least does partially
Name one. Other than Will not having to bother about word count
?
For example he can make a xianxia society without everyone being fucking megararted about face.
Man it feels like every ending I've read in the past few years have been utter garbage. I'm not asking for some fairy tale type ending where everyone lives happily ever after, but some actual fucking resolution would be nice instead of sequel baiting or bittersweet/tragic endings that exist for the sole purpose of being bittersweet/tragic.
It’s a fun series. Nothing revolutionary but it’s nice and the characters are enjoyable.
Give me 3 reasons why I shouldn't read this book. goodreads.com
I'm not going to give you any reasons in fact I'm going to tell you to read it so you can give me a recommendation on it later.
Because the author's last book had a lot of problems and ended like shit. So I'm waiting until he finishes this one to see if he learned form his mistakes before I commit to reading it.
>I'm waiting until he finishes
He's going to write at least 15 books, he's on no. 6 now. Enjoy waiting.
i like him. but i can see why people don't
He's a pedophile.
I trust amazon reviews over the tryhard pretentious lesbian faggots on goodreads. Make you're own decision. If you like power level advancement underdog type stuff then the series will probably interest you.
I like it, but I don't like the way anime does it. Because in Anime they're not really underdogs, they're the favorites like Naruto, or whatever.
>check out a book I'm interested in on goodreads
>first review for it is some tumblr-looking cunt talking about how she killed a bug
And that's why I no longer use goodreads reviews.
Is it any good? The premise sounds like it could be really interesting or ungodly boring depending on how well it's written.
Anyone sincerely watching the girly shit is already gender confused.
Yes, I want to be a girl.
With today's technology, you can.
What would you consider to be the good stuff, at least of what's translated?
None and I've read quite a few of them. Reading them will turn your brain into mush and you'll turn into a literal reading zombie mindlessly consuming shit. It's wish fulfilment and power fantasy in it's crudest form and if you've read one you've pretty much read all of them.
If you don't want to listen and want to see for yourself, try Desolate Era, it's passable. If you want a good translation that doesn't have broken English you can try Warlock of the Magus World.
Whats some classic sci fi like logans run and make room make room that still holds up?
Please fellas, at least TRY to not shit this one up as well.
You already have the book, user. Read it and see for yourself.
