any one read this? is it really as good, as reviews say it is?
Carson Parker
Any litrpg where a guy becomes a sexy girl and hates it? Asking for a friend.
Xavier Bennett
yes
Jaxson Davis
>he doesn't use goodreads
Angel Rodriguez
I've heard of people who read it and didn't enjoy it much, but most people come out of it loving it. It's very, very weird and incredibly Chinese-y but it's worth it for the beefy excellent Liu puts out. This guy is a nutjob he grabs any bit of science by the balls and wrings the fuck out of it until it's literal anime but still somehow believable. Also I think it's worth saying that 3Body is a a bit of a slower start but my god Dark Forest blows your socks off (plus DF and the final book are much better translated IMO).
Cooper Peterson
May I see it?
Jason Martinez
>and incredibly Chinese-y What does this mean?
Matthew Evans
I'm not being racist lol It's just very Sino-centric, most of the main cast are Chinese and seems to follow a general Chinese viewpoint. Doesn't subtract form it's excellence.
My eternal gratitude and as many (you)s as I can spare.
Grayson Mitchell
>buy a really nice, large edition of first book in series >they never made the rest in the same format
John Russell
What else?
David Stewart
Name it.
Josiah Gomez
Forgive me for lying about knowing about any litrpg where a guy becomes a sexy girl and hates it?
Brandon Allen
Deal.
Luis Ward
A book-recommendation?
Camden Lopez
yes
Christopher Sanders
Project Alpha
Sebastian Evans
The summary is nothing special. What sets it apart?
Gabriel Parker
Why does Sword & Sorcery trigger the soyboys so much?
Anthony Gonzalez
If you have nothing of value to post, simply don't post.
Isaiah Morales
You too fampai
Xavier Bell
bump
Joshua Johnson
Why do the so-named soyboys trigger the self proclaimed defenders of all that is true and wholesome so much?
Benjamin Powell
Every Sword & Sorcery I've read recently has a female warrior, and that triggers me.
Jordan James
the Red Sonja archetype is a staple of pulp fantasy.
Jackson Ortiz
this is a bit long isn't it? this is the Midwitch Cuckoos rip off yes?
Alexander Green
And I'm not too fond of it
Jackson Butler
What's the next big thing so I can write it and get a movie deal?
Alexander Reed
> >Is all that you've read of sci-fi Blindsight? jeez.
This was an excellent post
Jose Foster
It's a FANTASY. Get over it. It's like complaining about FTL in sci-fi, or humans on fantasy land that somehow evolved to be just like us in a world that is completely different.
Owen Anderson
Rothfuss triggered me and destroyed all of suspension of disbelief in his second book when mercenary character uses his sword to cut food for his dinner while having knives. casting spells and dragons are more believable than a swordsman using sword to cut potatoes
Carter Green
are you gay?
Landon Anderson
Translate Blindsight into a watchable script
Dominic Allen
>this is a bit long isn't it? Yeah, highest page count yet. But ~225 pages is not that long desu.
>this is the Midwitch Cuckoos rip off yes? Childhood's End was published 4 years earlier, so would not think so.
Hunter Myers
No. No.
Camden Morris
Then you must be a woman, because there's no other reason you wouldn't like heaving bosoms in bikini armor.
Joseph Stewart
>all this bitching Tell me what you're currently reading instead! Is it good? Would you recommend it to /sffg/?
Aaron Ortiz
Because it's a dumb as a woman using a sword effectively is dumb.
Blake Edwards
Dumb yet sexy, and justifiable with magic. Sword and Sorcery is a dumb subgenre, and frequently revels in it. Why does this one aspect bother you so much?
Matthew Sanders
what book tho?
Ryder Wood
>Why does this one aspect bother you so much? I donno. It's a curse I'd enjoy a lot more stories if I jut let it slide.
Samuel Young
I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about the Inda series before in my life, but I see it on the flowchart. Does it have good characters and dialogue?
Cooper Williams
Thanks m7. Nice dubs too!
Nolan Cook
Fire Upon the Deep
Leo Collins
This. Yes. Sure.
Grayson Ortiz
Touble And Her Friends, some lesbian cyberpunk. It's ok, kinda dull. Wouldn't recommend because you all hate women.
Oliver Perry
Is there a better ship in all of sci-fi?
Josiah Ward
Not a nautical ship at least.
Evan Garcia
>finish date 30 march cant wait to start reading this on the 29th
Nathaniel Jenkins
>soon became clear that the proposition of attacking enemy ships in harbors was not a practical one. Because of this, torpedo rams were never particularly popular, and the design was largely abandoned by the end of the 19th century as other, more practical, classes of torpedo-carrying warships emerged. Only a handful were built. The best remembered examples of the type were the aforementioned Polyphemus and the United States Navy's USS Intrepid. Neither saw a great deal of active service and they were mostly used for torpedo trials, although Polyphemus did demonstrate the potential damage she could inflict when she was used to demolish a harbor defense boom via ramming. >While never popular with the naval services that created them, the torpedo ram can be said to have caught public attention in a manner which far exceeded its utility as a concept for a fighting ship. The heroic HMS Thunder Child in H. G. Wells's science-fiction classic The War of the Worlds was a torpedo ram,[6] and she destroyed two Martian Tripods. It has been suggested by some[who?] that, in view of the limited military value the torpedo ram demonstrated, Wells's immortalization of the type in what would become a literary classic was the torpedo ram's greatest achievement.
Connor Roberts
Scanners Live in Vain is his best story, although not the only good one. Worth getting into. Plus, I'm almost certain he introduced catgirls into Western culture.
>All-American Glurge wtf are you talking about
Luis Young
How does one write a novel?
Dominic Brooks
FUCK OFF.
Leo Bailey
Torpedo Rams would have been far more highly valued if Martians actually invaded.
Nicholas Long
With words
Jordan Gray
Tell yourself a story and write it down while you do.
Then edit.
Lincoln Sanders
Why are white women so delicious?
Christian Fisher
eating people is illegal in most countries, you should be careful about saying things like this
Which should I start next, A Fire Upon the Deep or Gateway?
Michael Rodriguez
A Fire Upon the Deep.
Justin Davis
>Indeed, every positive review I've read mentions that though the book has many flaws, its redeeming strengths are the 'depth of worldbuilding' and the 'meticulously designed magic system', two red flags which seem to be the fantasy book equivalent of saying that a blind date has a 'nice personality':
>"Well, the author isn't very good with character, plot, dialogue, structure, tone, or prose, but I was very impressed by the way his novel resembled a CIA Worldbook for yet another pseudo-medieval kingdom, occasionally interspersed with a list of house rules for Magic: The Gathering."
Ryan Smith
I'm like 15% of the way through Ship of Magic and god damn, nothing is happening.
I thought this was going to involve fighting sea monsters or pirate curses but instead everyone's just fighting depression
Noah Miller
such is life
Tyler Ramirez
I assumed the people recommending Robin Hobb were joking, do people actually like her? I've never made it more than 20% into the first book of any of her series, all the characters read like self-interested teenagers. They're so trite and ridiculous.
Gabriel Morris
Finishing the third book on the Altered Carbon trilogy. The main character being stalked by a younger copy of himself is a blast, especially when the two banter. Im gonna miss the word of digital human freight, but I'm also ok with it not overstaying it's welcome.
>Make it personal
Isaac Howard
Whom, and your goddamn father
Charles Howard
Blandman Sandybuns
Chase Gray
How loose do you think his boipucci is?
Jordan Cooper
Robin Hobb mainly writes misery porn from what I've heard.
Like I saw some people talking about the game Owlboy elsewhere and basically the plot has the character getting bullied and abused by everybody else, with no good ending, and somebody qupped "wow didn't know Robin Hobb was making games now."
Kevin Martin
Is there still a market for fun and fast paced space adventures?
Asher Rogers
Yes, they just have to actually be fast paced and include some sexually confusing fuck alien.
John Reyes
Yes; it's called the pulp revolution.
Jordan Nguyen
yep
Jack Price
Wow what a retard. How can one post fuck up this bad?
Jayden Jones
Can confirm - he's great!
Adrian Lopez
Writing about the printing press being invented in the stone age is still scifi, right?
Connor Perez
Like user said, it's on the longer side.You might not make it if you start the last day!
Carter Wood
Hey dawg, I heard you didn't want to be killed by the Blight, so I killed you with the Slowness.
