Why the fuck are these threads always so white? Seriously, this shit is nearly unreadable because of how unwelcoming it is
It's been many years since I last read Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion but would it be worth starting History of Middle Earth books if I enjoyed them?

If you are interested in more, go for it.
Why the fuck are modern fantasy novels always so black? Seriously, this shit is nearly unreadable because of how niggardly it is
Waht are very good Epic Fantasy series that stood the test of time? I've already read LotR, ASOIAF, and tried Malazan.
The Wandering Inn is fun, you should give it a read
It features my wife Erin (as well as my other wives Ryoka, Ceria, Ylvon, Geneva, Lyonette, Magnolia and Ressa and my husband Pisces)
LotR, ASOIAF, and tried Malazan.
Any cultivation novel will blow that shit out of the water
warhammer 40k novels
kill yourself
boring shit read

heckin sign me up please
I started reading this and I hate it. It has first person POV for three different characters and it doesn't tell you when the perspective changes. I'm about a third of the way in and I know none of the main characters names or what their personality is because they are all blurred together in my mind.
Am I just a brainlet or what?
the problem is that book is simply too hard for you and thats why you're blanking out
try audio book version and easing your way up to harder books. You need to use your imagination more to make it more vivid
Gaunts Ghosts in a pretty good place to start with 40k.
>tfw you shill for Sanderson
You know guys, if you like Warhammer, then you may unironically like The Wandering Inn. The author, Pirateaba, is a passionate strategy games fan and plays Total War: Warhammer a lot. TWI might appear to be Slice of Life, but it is also called Slice of Warcrime for good reasons. It's obvious that the author took a lot of inspiration from Warhammer, especially battles and conflicts among numerous races of the world. You may have some slice of life where people talk and drink in one chapter, but some juicy genocide is always behind the corner. That's one of the things that make TWI so great. If you want to read an Epic Fantasy in a world similar to Warhammer, then look no further than TWI.
little do you guys know
unlike you, I actually got my nose planttd deep in a bookorino
Thats right. I am actually already currently reading and began so just yesterday.
I shall do so again momentarily, but before that a coffee
The book I am reading is a grimdark thriller that takes place in a medieval era and yes it has fantastical elements. I cant elaborate further or else you'd know what I'm reading and spoil it
Is this why you guys are stuck talking about the same books for like 15 years? Agents that list "LGBTQ" and "BIPOC" rather than any indication of quality, or asking for a "unique hook" to "pitch." I've been reading this dog shit my entire life and I don't think I ever cared about originality for a second. Is it even a big deal in fantasy? I just want to be immersed. The genre where originally matters a lot is SF and none of these trannies will even look at it because their brains are as smooth as eggs.
What are some SF/F books that do romance well?
thats so heckin wholesome my guy
i wanna read alice in wonderland and see what i might visualize
you know its like when reading books you develop your own idea of what characters and settings look like
its illustrated
>heckin
>rino
>wholesome
What The Fuck is happening to my general, I can't believe my eyes.
The spammers ban ended and he's throwing a tanty.
I've seen some illustrated and some aren't
example of one that isn't
gutenberg.org
also:
>Tenniel's illustrations of Alice do not portray the real Alice Liddell, who had dark hair and a short fringe. Alice has provided a challenge for other illustrators,
en.m.wikipedia.org
so it is safe to assume before reading it that the book can be read without illustration and that they aren't imperative to understanding what characters or settings would look like because the alice illustrations are incorrect to begin with.

some versions with images and some without
You will NEVER rule supreme, you only have a chance because the jannies don't ban you, if it was true free speech Bakker will rule supreme and you will rage and scream.
Who comes up with the best names in fantasy?
What is the dark souls of fantasy?
Any sci-fi or fantasy series about soul crushing loneliness?
If you are not gay, or a woman, or appeal to gays and women, then you may as well give up ever achieving anything in this genre.
I've read some of the manga... doesn't give me the same vibes honestly, but thanks for the suggestion.
But I also like bakker and hate janny
who hurt you

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar novel section
fuck off retard
wrong fucking board
piece of shit picture book btw
#
no you fucking retard
pick up a thriller about pirates or something else interesting and thrilling and escape into the world of blissful imagination
What is this? Title sounds like a parody
I am enjoying this series. What makes it work is that it is first and foremost a set of stories about soldiers soldiering in that old fashioned war story style. The action is good, but its not gun porn either. Its men in the trenches trying to live out the day. The 40k stuff isn't the focus, but neither is it abandoned in shame, its there when it needs to be there without feeling like a advertisement for a toyline which all warhammer books are.
grimdark is super kino
my question is why would anyone want to read about an OP MC and his posse with retarded plot armor? seriously. happy endings are not only unrealistic but super boring to read about
yeah, it's an old book but it's had a movie made about it
"i am legend"
it's pretty good
Hey guys, does GRRM explain how House Valeryon, an ancient house with old valeria traits such as pale skin could all be black? They practiced incest to protect their valeria genes. So how do they all get cast as black people in an adaptation and say it works? Thanks in advance.
Villain transmigration comedy. The transmigrator is a long-time webnovel reader so his internal monologue jokes about the novel he's in being particularly cliche, but it isn't a parody.
After the last three xiaxias I started turned out to be danmei I've gotten incredibly paranoid. Does that guy end up fucking another man's asshole after 5000 chapters or is it safe to read?
>Thousands of writers contribute to a genre, but it is critically panned as it does not extol progressive politics
>Some jew/bipoc comes in and "satirizes" the genre blatently ripping off a few popular authors ideas while sanatizing anything offensive to progressives whilst adding shit that is offensive to conservatives/liberals
>praised by other jews as a work of high art
This is the formula for writing a "genre defining classic" It's a big club, and you ain't in it.
We have attracted about 3-5 additional shitposters and/or spammers over the last week.
Yes it’s danmei. Transmigrator tries to avoid the villain’s original fate by being nice to the novel MC, accidentally turns the novel MC yanhomo.. Only about 90 chapters though.
Tell me what you got suckered into reading.
There was a passage in the... last? short story from the Lerebus Shieldbreaker collection that hit me particularly hard.
Mo Dao Zu Shi. I watched the show first and didn't know the CCP censored all the hardcore gay sex. I just thought the MC was a little effeminate...
wtf I love ccp now
Uh ur on Yea Forums we know
Why are fantasy maps always a Pangea super continent?
Digits have spoken. And yes, just look at any awards in the last decade or so. Being a woman is basically a requirement, being black is highly recommended.
They're more often "the known world". Intercontinental travel is probably a lot harder on those worlds, either because the world is bigger or more dangerous. Cradle, for example, almost all takes place on one continent, but we know OF the existence of another continent.
>being black is highly recommended.
Based and true.
Holy fuck user I’m sorry for you but I can’t stop laughing, I don’t know how anyone can read past chapter four or so of MDZS without realizing that Lan Wangji is a total homo.
help, i can't stop reading this fucking garbage. i've read 5 volumes in 2 weeks. it's somehow both the worst thing i've read in a long time and the most fun i've had reading in ages.
Stormlight books have more illustrations than light novels but boy oh boy I bet fags would be mad if you discussed LNs here.
I'd like to help but I think you need a professional
>We have attracted about 3-5 additional shitposters and/or spammers over the last week.
This is why we need Bakkerchads, they were the sentinels that guards this land, you chose pozzedness over Bakkerchadery and now look at this thread, filth and pozz beyond human comprehension, you deserve it, and only when its too late, you will know that Bakker rules and sandi drools.
untrue
see Warhammer: AOS map
>I bet fags would be mad if you discussed LNs here
When are people in these threads not throwing a fit over what people are discussing?
Seems familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.
wrong board
also grow up you fucking manchild
stop reading picture books
When Bakker rules, the natural balance will return, and the pozz will retreat.
Yeah because there are literally several other boards for weebshit where other weebs will suck your dick clean off for namedropping copy paste isekai written by constipated businessmen in their morning cattle car using their phone
I like Bakker but i also like Cradle
I have no limitations, infinite power
This is the misery of /sffg/, this is the misery of not having Bakkerchads ruling supreme.
