what the fuck Rusp
live a better life
I think he being put in a baby harness of the characters back though would be funny
Mistborn is definitely what got me into his writing style, I really enjoy it. The Stormlight Archive is a tall ask to get into, so much of the epic fantasy shit that's irritating like all these proper nouns and countries with their own politics and so on. For Mistborn, I like that it's just 1 town, 1 story.
Oklahoma Joe as a skin though
would go hard

Sanderson adds maps to the first few pages of his books and I greatly appreciate that, but yea having narrative jump between like 4-5 characters PoV every chapter can be a lot.

Yeah I started one chapter with nobles gossiping and they mentioned like 10 different names I was unfamiliar with and I had to stop for a second to process it all

Yeah, I just do not recommend the Stormlight Archive for an introduction to fantasy books, there's just so much going on! I personally enjoy it but, like, Mistborn is a solid fantasy series that is simple.
Clearly we should make an entire channel for book discussions so that Rusp can discuss his one book
(not on the table, no more channels)
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby I've been reading the Re:Zero light novels most recently. They're pretty enjoyable.
For the sake of discussion, jap shit does not count as reading

They're essentially just books. I don't understand the difference between books and "light novels"
The index LNs are fucking hefty as shit
but I don't count them as having read books
because that makes me seem gay and retarded if I said I read
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 I don't tell people I'm reading beamforming research papers either, yeah
research papers do not count
nor textbooks
otherwise I could say I read a ton
and I do NOT read a ton
I read one (ONE) piece of konosuba media assuming it would never get adapted
then it got a fucking anime
and I was livid
swore off reading things that were not 100% complete ever again
Replying to Wuvwand #loveland Idrk what differentiates them from regular books besides they’re based on manga?
its cringe to say you read and that is what you meant

This is ALWAYS the correct decision.
