Would it make a good MMO/ open-world WRPG?

Haven't read these. Most of the fantasy stuff I've read (which isn't a lot) liked to spend 3/4 of a page on overly detailed imagery, so I'd end up skipping several pages worth of text out of every chapter. Do these have that issue or they actually interesting to read with just enough detail to let your imagination fill in the blanks?

no, but they would make for a good background for an RPG.
your problem is a subjective one, and so is the answer.
the only person that can judge if there is "too much description" would be you.

These titles are pretty embarassing

I Imagine adhd would make it pretty hard to read them. Maybe audio books while you do something else if you're actually interested?

How so?

I still haven't read this series.
Is it more edgy like Prince of Nothing, more anime like Mistborn, more traditional like Black Company, etc? What is it like?

I wouldn't know. I'm sorry your imagination is so lacking that you need every single little detail listed out for you to picture what's going on and therefore don't find the flow of the story interrupted by a page's worth of monotonous and pleonastic fucking adjectives.

Very similar to Black Company. Gardens of the Moon is kinda just okay with a few standout moments and clearly written way before the rest, but it gets quite good.

Shit does get quite edgy at times, but usually the horrific violence serves a purpose.

It's more dark souls, filled with deepest lore and lots of background info only squeazed out in glimpses and pieces but very detailed when put together, and lots of characters that appear in various subplots creating interconnectedness throughout

>literally whose fantasy for children

I assume you've read the weal of time or lord of the rings.
Malazan isn't like that, though it's not guaranteed you will like it.
If you want a fantasy series that doesn't waste your time I'd recommend the Black Company. In it things happen without much theatrics.

Malazans appeal isn't that it's a detailed world, it's that it's a big world and that the characters are interesting and unique. And what is amazing is the scale of the world doesn't feel like an intentional thing, the action just eventually moves to new places and new people.

>I haven't heard of it so its not popular
Erikson is a pretty popular author, retard.

shit author

good author

can you repeat the question

He's a very literal, and probably autistic, writer. I would stay far the fuck away if you're not a fan of plain descriptions. Go give Gene Wolfe a look instead.

>inb4 someone brings up what Ericson said about the fantasy awards

Google what the hobbling is if you feel like killing yourself (or jacking off, I won't judge).

Erikson is a fucking madman.

For a self-published webnovel writer, yeah. It's a stretch to call the man an author, though.

Thanks, user. Sounds interesting based on what you described, though I'll check out Black Company too.

The Book of the New Sun has been on my to-read list for 5ever. I just keep getting caught up in vidya and books of a very different genre that I will go into no more detail about.

What a retarded thing to say.

I can find his books in any mall bookstore in the fantasy section.
Get over yourself.

You should get on that. Guy doesn't go out of his way to describe every little detail. Just whips out one of the five foreign dictionaries he's got stuffed up his ass and picks some archaic near-synonym to impart the right flavor and if you don't get it then fuck you, catch it on the next read. He does with careful word choice what another(especially fantasy authors, holy shit) would with a paragraph-long description.

Black Company is a completely different angle of the same. Still about as far as you can get from autistically detailed descriptions of the most mundane and irrelevant things, but it's not so much dense as it is just brief. Whole thing is written in a pretty much conversational manner.

Definitely. Both of those sound much more interesting to me than most of the fantasy (and sci-fi) stuff that I've read so far, albeit that's not a lot.

Dude, I'm not kidding when I say I'd be surprised to hear the man's never masturbated to a thesaurus before. You won't make it through the foreword without him bragging about never inventing a word for his weird-ass fantasy and scifi shit, instead dusting off some Greek, Latin, or English term that hasn't seen the light of day in a decade. He says it's for flavor, but I think it might just be his fetish. Probably only took up writing after he got hospitalized for papercuts.

>hospitalized for papercuts
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO WHY WOULD YOU MAKE ME PICTURE THIS? NOW I'M IMAGINING THE PAIN OF IT FUUUUUUUCK
