>What are you reading? Currently reading The Blue Star by Fletcher Pratt. The prologue where the two friends speculate about alternate histories is pretty thought provoking. I’m too early into the rest of the book to say if it’s good or not.
Hudson Howard
Any other introductory chinkshit that's any good besides cradle? I tried a few but most were boring or stupid. At least cradle had nice characters.
Henry Bailey
You are right. Just read a little Discworld and now I am not horny anymore.
You may want to try the demon accords. And since you don't mind forever unfinished series (contractor), you might also want to check the road to magic, by some russian dude.
Anthony Stewart
Same here. I blew through Cradle recently because it was fun, started looking at other chinkshit and only found very low quality stuff.
Ryder Martinez
>demon accords It's already there on the list. I read all except the new book with the worst girl who betrayed everyone. Fuck caoco
>road to magic, Is that book even in English?
Brayden Rodriguez
>Is that book even in English? The first one is. I read it before I knew there were more and they weren't translated. It's surprising how many people have read it despite that.
Swing Shift, by the way, is much better than the rest of the trash arand writes. You may try that, if you haven't yet. Rise of the shadow rogue is another degenerate trash that I liked. Stay away from his other book, though.

I'm reading rules free vrmmo, my dick is so hard from all this rape. Shit, it just doesn't go down anymore.
Xavier White
I guess we're doomed to wait until halloween. It's too bad, I really liked cradle's dynamic and the other chinkshit I tried just couldn't compare.
To exemplify, I just dropped one where none of the characters had any distinct personality traits. The narration dallied too much on irrelevant shit, like this one time the main character was traveling and needed to buy a sword, the narrator described the interior of the store to the last detail, commenting on how many swords there were and the good and bad points of each one, and in the end the main character just picked one and went away. This book was A Thousand Li. Then there was this other book, Darkening Skies, in which the characters were a bit more alive but had one fatal flaw: the main character was a fucking pacifist prophecised to die in the end, to which he agreeded.
>eric vall Is this that guy who got banned, that Earl guy's dummy account? This vall guy is shitting out books.
Anthony Myers
No there’s lots of people who do this. I just read Edmund Hughes stuff, since his smut is decent and he releases a new book every month. Plus he doesn’t tell neverending stories.
Owen Hill
If not Vall, then Logan Jacobs.
I don't think I've read anything by any of these two that was any good. Vall writes some of the most bland stuff out there. And jacobs isn't far behind. At least MSE wrote some (few) good stuff.
Jonathan Taylor
>Edmund Hughes I like his stuff. But for some reason I almost never finish his series. I think they may just not be exciting enough. I started all of them, but haven't finished any, usually I stop at the last book. It may just be me and my incapacity to finish stuff, though.
Josiah Taylor
His endings aren’t particularly exciting. What he’s good at is the setup. But Arcane Dropout is pretty good so far. I enjoyed book 3, even if it ends on a cliffhanger.
I'm new to the tread and was wondering if there was a quicker way to search through the books beside just downloading them all and going through after.
Angel Long
You want to search for a word? You'd have to download the entire book. If you want a preview, you can use amazon's.

The problem with >vrmmos, besides of course taking most of the conflict out of the books (hahaha how are mmos dangerous nigga just log off hahaha nigga just walk away), is that they are usually litrpg and instead of moving forward with a plot (if there's any), they get lost on levels and skills that are never used or mentioned again, etc. It's just not worth going through all the trash to find a hidden gem (if such a thing even exists).
Sebastian Peterson
It's filled with raping and cannibalism, it's entertaining.
Noah Ward
But I don't understand why it has to be a game. There's rape and cannibalism in the real world as well. There can be rape an cannibalism in a fantasy world. In fact, the story could remain the same even if the author didn't place it in a game. Why did he do it then? Obvious: it's a cheap device he used to more easily drawn in the reader and create a connection to his characters, as well as put in the possibility of using stupid pop-culture references so he can have the reddit audience. It's cheap, it does not add anything of value, and it removes all the weight from any conflicts.
Nicholas Garcia
>keep reading about books to download >keep downloading the books form any suggested author >end up having no time to read in between shitposts
Agreed. Every vr mmo would be done better if it was straight isekai shit. The numbers don’t mean anything anyways. There are better ways to do power levels than level scaling.
Ayden Morales
>isekai NO! YOU FUCKING FAGGOT! NO! THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL!
You are changing six of one for half a dozen of the other! That's EXACTLY the same thing! A cheap device to drawn in the reader instead of actually having to write a story and a character and an excuse to use stupid pop-culture references (and in this case is even worse, because he looks like a jackass talking stupid jokes to himself). And levels and power levels are just an easy way for the author to skip character development.
Now tell me your address so I can go hit you on the face.
Sounds like your real problem is references and not the actual system or execution. Do you think they won’t make reddit references if it’s a set world?
Joshua Martinez

it's the same shit, it even has the numbers attached in most of them. level 1 - 10 = qi formation rank 1-x, level 11 - 20 = foundation realm rank 1-x, and so on.
Easton Bailey
No it’s not, because they don’t have the pointless interruption every time they rank up from 3 to 4. It focuses more on milestones which makes for a cleaner reading experience.
Jordan Scott
Can you impregnate a ghost?
Connor Foster
depends on the setting, but generally speaking no. The only real maybes are banshees, yuki onna and night hags who are kind of a grey area between ghost and fey (and demons in the case of night hags). Of those, the only ones with named offspring are night hags, but their potential children (incubi, succubi and cambions) all seem contingent on a fiendish nature.
That said, there are a few sorta cases. impregnating someone possessed by a ghost, pregnant women who were murdered horrifically and bound to the mortal plane, or girls who were just 14 when their parents built a very strange machine
>Book I glanced through had the gimmick of the mc impregnating anything, even undead zombies.

>I think it is because they want their wives to play with their toys. Possibly. I just think it's all the propaganda that's been going on since the 60s. Some people just can't see through it.
Anything with a sympathetic, relatable antagonist?

Lucas Perry
What are you faglets reading? Is anyone getting burnt out on books?
"In this retelling of THE WIZARD OF OZ, the original fantasy is shown to be the result of a virtual reality experiment gone wrong. Though still a poignant fable, this story has the bite of future science."
Also reading this, but kinda stalled out on it halfway through. Not that it's bad, but I wish the protag was a bit more of a bad ass considering he's a half viking/half Japanese samurai wandering through a historical Europe full of monsters and sorcerers.
Is there any connection between the two except for the cover art?

No.

Nolan Carter
I don't understand why people make recommendation charts with shit like that in it. Do you seriously think people need to be recommended books that old? Are there people who actually don't know what they are? Are there people asking for recommendations that haven't read, or at least heard of those books? It's like recommending water to someone who's thirsty. No shit, I totally never would have thought of that without your stupid chart. It's like recommending people to read Lord of the Rings as if there's even a remote possibility they haven't already.
I just finished with the first three Black Company books. Audiobooks, though. Very good stuff. Any other Military Fantasy to be recommended?
Isaac Brown
That's some corny-sounding grimdark line
Ryder Brooks
>OLD = BAD >NEW = GOOD
Christopher Howard
It's got nothing to do with quality. It's about wasting time making a recommendation chart composed entirely of things literally everyone, and their parents too, and their grandparents most likely, has already read. It completely defeats the purpose of a recommendation chart. You aren't actually recommending anything, you're just jerking your ego off because you read some classics.

Yea I know there have been a handful of instances of warriors, maybe even some generals. But I mean stories were a considerable chunk of the army is female. Even in the World Wars when some countries ran completely out of manpower they didnt do it on a large scale, and they used firearms which is considerably easier than battering a guy with a pole axe. I dont mind itself its something goofy like Malazan, but when these larpers like Miles Cameron go into 200 pages of detail about sword stances and types of armour it triggers me.

Looking to read The Chronicles of Amber, The Elric Saga and my first Gene Wolfe novel by the end of 2019. Can it be done?
Logan Hernandez
25 books in 4 months, where about half of the books (Elric books) are quite short. Sounds like a reasonable goal.
Christian Harris
Black Company question:
Is Croaker important/high up in the company when the series starts? I know he's the main doctor and the annalist but I'm not sure/can't remember how much that translates to status within the group.
unless they get way longer you can read an amber book a day if you have a decent pace, elric is also easy to read and a single wolfe book wouldn't take that long
Also 25 in that long is way under the pace I read it so you should have wiggle room

Yeah, the second novella (called 'A story') is dazzling. You can read it any of three ways and it still leaves questions unanswered but you'll figure it out on second reading.
and had a look at the "Customers who bought this item also bought" section, Jesus Christ what is this shit? who the fuck reads these fantasy novels? they all look the fucking same, I've tried reading some samples and they read the same, the characters talk with this sense of smugness and "sound" the same...

>Jesus Christ what is this shit Looks like standard self-published titles. mostly female-author stuff, some mil-sf, a few degenerate shit, a couple litrpgs. Pretty average. If you don't read self-published often, there are some tricks to avoid wasting a lot of time: -If it's written by a female, don't read it unless someone you trust recommended it to you. -If the author is some initials and a surname, suspect it's a female. -Have in mind the genre you want (i.e. mil-sf, sword and sorcery, etc) -Check the goodreads page for reviews mentioning grammatical errors (if you mind them) or the need of an editor -Read the blurb and the preview before purchase Even after minding all of that (there's probably a couple tips I forgot, though), you will still find mostly shit you'll have to drop half-way through. But sometimes you'll stumble upon some good things. Remember, authors don't need skill to be famous, they need luck. So there's plenty of skilled authors that just never had any luck finding fame.

>Read Cold Iron >the baddies are social conservatives >look at author name I should have listened
Absolute closest analogues would be the Powder Mage series by Brian McClellan or the Shadow Empire series by Django Wexler. Both are "The Napoleonic War but in Fantasy Land", McClellan is a Sanderson disciple but can actually write characters while Wexler's stuff is less overtly fantastic until the last couple books IIRC.
For historical fiction you should read the Aubrey-Maturin series.
Benjamin Gomez
I feel like a brainlet. I didn't like this one at all. It's considered as such a classic and got a great movie adaptation but I just could get into it. It began pretty great and the writing style was very fresh and engaging but as the story continued on I was less and less interested.
Also the story-time with the old man and his son wasn't particularly interesting.
I'm not, but you don't care either way. At this point it's become a catch-all insult, same as calling someone gay used to be. Whatever the next insult trend may be, you'll follow it as well.

More La Guin if you haven't already (The Dispossession and Left Hand of Darkness are my favs). Lathe of Heaven felt a bit like PKD to me (Ubik-esc). Roadside Picnic is a quite unlike anything else hence why it's so influential. For the actual Setting Metro 2033 really survived the translation in my opinion and I thought was a great book. Gateway is equally unlike a lot else I've read, maybe Tau Zero by Anderson or Light by M. John Harrison?

Why does Yea Forums have this stuck up mentality towards genre fiction, in this case sci-fi/fantasy stuff? It's not like most of kiddos that browse Yea Forums nowadays read that much or know stuff past the classics. Seems like this general genuinely enjoys reading what they do, so why give them hell for it or am I thinking about it too much and is just some sort of Yea Forums banter?
Aiden Stewart
Who the fuck cares? It's not like we take a look outside. My link to lit literally ends with #s=sffg.

Which Erickson is that?

You're not missing anything, and this seems like a good general because people, at least from what I've seen so far, look capable of handling a conversation and know their shit. Do y'all have some kind of discord server or is this general it?
Josiah Cooper
We had a discord years back and it died from disuse or something.
Hudson Torres
Because it's inherited from the literary world, which is desperate to separate itself from genre (ie popular) fiction. Like the guy a few months back that wrote a book about robots but insisted it wasn't science fiction because of reasons.
Blake Flores
So I'm good occasionally dropping here and typing blogs about what I've read? Great.
Yeah, literary theory professor was the same, although he wasn't a stuck up cunt about it.
Isaiah Evans
That's a lovely cover.
Jeremiah Roberts
The Malazan one I'd bet
Ethan Carter
Zelazny? he's so woke he pops out the other side and reads like a weird pseudo-reactionary.
I read Elantris and it was fun. I hadn't read a fantasy book in years.

Dara's Merlin's mum isn't she? I think she's an antagonist in the Merlin novels but doesn't appear until the end.
Henry Murphy
We deserve it, genre fiction has constantly attempted to infringe on literary fiction often forcibly to the detriment of both.
>Seems like this general genuinely enjoys reading what they do I don't know, at least half of the people in theses threads seem to be so alienated from popular taste they've given up on reading anything written in the last 50 years.

>Dara's Merlin's mum isn't she? Yes. Why is she an antagonist?
Blake Lewis
Can't remember properly, I think she's trying to get him to join chaos.
Noah Jenkins
He should have had sex with her instead.
Jayden Wilson
>genre fiction has constantly attempted to infringe on literary fiction What is this supposed to mean?
Based mommy. Need more books where queens, noblewomen, sorceresses seduce their own sons to rule together.
Josiah Lee
Just read about Ancient Egypt.
Charles Hill
What in specific?
Adrian Howard
It means stop liking what he doesn’t like
Caleb Perry
History. Pharaohs married everyone in their family.
Dominic Adams
Well, that was mostly sister/brother marriages. Both in Ptolemaic Egypt and earlier dynasties, as far as I know. I'm more into mom x son or aunt x son thing.
