Perhaps someone can turn it upside down. Imagine a book where a stronk wymyn goes out in the world with her sword only to lose fights and get raped all the time!
The nips know what's up.
Noah Adams
The two after Annihilation don't really add anything worthwhile to the first and I'd recommend skipping both.
Nolan Carter
It's pretty good depending on the translation. Starts fantastic, has a good but hit or miss middle, but just trails off at the end because Sapkowski got angry and drunk like he always does.
Bakker's way ahead of you.
Jace Reed
Both are complete shit.
Austin Powell
You people are lightweights. There has yet to be a novel written in any genre with women worse than the ones in Wheel of Time.

Mimara had a hard life.
Jacob Clark
Dont forget
>getting knocked up by a guy you think might be your father
SHIT! how the fuck does this keep sneaking up on me? every one of my suggested reading books have been picked so far and im always late to the discussion.
Jacob Price
This is a surprisingly accurate list, I've read about half of the books and agree on how you placed every one of them.
Grayson Reyes
>late to the discussion The deadline and main discussion is still 1,5 weeks away my dude.
Josiah Thompson
Generally agree although I didn't enjoy Starship Troopers
Yeah, I found that out the hard way. Although I did like the tense moments in Authority and the gay moments in Acceptance.
Mason Stewart
I’m reading The lady of the lake right now. All the god damn flashback bullshit is super annoying he is a much better as a short story writer than a novelist
Xavier Jones
Time of Contempt and Baptism of Fire were really good. The later books are a big drop in quality because he had a spat with his publisher and he got tired of doing them, so just sorta shat them out.
Mason Smith
True I really enjoyed those Tower of Swallows was pretty alright also after it got going about 100 pages in this thing is a slog so far though
Jose Campbell
It all went to shit after the mage coup, the Battle of Brenna was great though.
Jace Cooper
Too much Ciri tbqh. I mean I like her well enough unlike some people but Geralt and Yennefer needed more time than they got later on. Especially when a lot of the later Ciri stuff comes to nothing because Sapkowski stopped giving a fuck.
Brayden Bennett
Really enjoyed the parts where fisheye man kicked her shit in.
Brayden Moore
>doesn't even rape her, tells her she's too flat savage
Jaxson Lee
Tried to rape Yeniffer though the dude has good taste
Jordan Miller
She deserved it
Sebastian Thompson
Reading Cugel's Saga. Is it just me or is it a lot weaker than the first two Dying Earth books? Feels like a retread of The Eyes of the Overworld.
Cameron Brown
Yennefer isn't particularly well endowed herself though. I guess that was just for the sport.
t. gamefag
Charles James
>cuck Geralt >get away with it Not on Fisheye's watch
Liam Nguyen
Yennefer does seem like she'd be more fun to rape than Ciri for some reason. Maybe because Ciri seems like she'd start enjoying it halfway through like some slut in a Japanese porn comic
Ayden Miller
Geralt had it coming, unironically.
>get away with it Geralt has cucked her himself by then so they're even.
Dylan Gomez
Men can't cuck women, that's just the natural state of things.
Zachary Nelson
>Act like a beta cuck for years >surprised to be cucked Geralt would have been one of those guys that would agree to an "open" relationship where his gf is constantly having threesomes that he doesn't get to participate in but always tells everyone how great and fulfilling it is. Yennefer just wanted a good spanking not a soyboy that would meekly let her do whatever she wanted. Bitch wanted discipline and Geralt couldn't provide that in the short stories.
Of course the definition of cuck has shifted so much from internet memery that the original definition doesn't really match this one.
Dylan Bell
cuckqueen is just a meme m8
if you are a high value male then girls will share you, as long as you are discreet about it and don't compromise theirs or their children's inheritance they don't care
Xavier Cooper
They won't like it though. Instinctively, they know the concept endangers their lineage.
Juan Garcia
>if you are a high value male so how did you find out about it?
Charles Reyes
Yennefers not a Queen, she's a dirty scheming Witch and Radovid will send her to the pyre.
Justin Brooks
reading about powerful men and how their wives pretty much always accept them being unfaithful
Jeremiah Russell
>so how did you find out about it? Knowing about pretty much any nobleman in history.
>Radovid's super minor in the books His one paragraph was great though
Nicholas Rodriguez
Yes it sounds like it would have made an interesting subject for further stories in the setting. Unfortunately it was done by video game writers so you get Mad Rad the Sad Lad dying pointlessly to a quip.
Hunter Torres
Why do you read sci-fi/fantasy?
Asher Brooks
Nothing better to do
Oliver Gray
I like hard sf because it presents mindbending ideas in a digestible manner by relating them to people and an immediate conflict. No idea why anyone would ever read fantasy though.
Bentley Mitchell
Noob here, I'm a little surprised you guys count graphic novels in lists like this. I'd guess people here would be snobs and exclude anything other than pure novels
Jordan Hughes
I like them. They make me feel good.
Thomas Gonzalez
Yen and Geralt are both infertile so this is irrelevant.
Ethan Hall
Their instincts were still crafted by millions of years of evolution regardless of what their conscious minds think or want. Plus Yennefer at least strongly wishes she wasn't sterile.
Jaxson Carter
Why did no one tell me Terra Ignota was unfinished... this is worse than asoiaf or notw :(
Tyler Cruz
Any fantasy that that doesn't skimp on the wonder and/or action?
Nathan Cox
it doesn't change the biological urges
Jace Powell
Library at mount char
Joseph Morales
I'm going to be honest. The description of the book I saw immediately turned me off since I despise that sort of dreary middle-american trailer park/suburb anti-aesthetic with every aching bone in my body but the first page brought my attention back. I think I'll give this a go
John Rogers
On the evidence of the first hundred pages it's brilliant. A book about a human spy's asymmetrical warfare against an alien empire, with subversive sloganeering, paper wars, phony bombs, and mob hitmen
Got memed into reading Altered Carbon. First book was OK, not great. Second book wasn't as good, pretty boring. Third book was actual garbage. Don't waste your time.
Cooper Roberts
You probably won't be surprised to learn that the author shows up in the comments section to yell at random bloggers about how THE SEX I WRITE IS THE SEX I HAVE and that they can't understand how he crafted a perfect caricature of black masculinity.
Jacob Bailey
Any more writers like Dick? I really like the themes he repetitively keeps writing about in his books.
He halted some twenty paces from the pair. 'Jon Shannow, the King of Kings has spoken the words of your death. I am Rhodaeul the Hunter. Do you have anything to say before you die?' 'No,' said Shannow, palming his gun and blasting Rhodaeul from the saddle. The Atlantean hit the ground hard, a hammering pain in his chest; he tried to draw his pistol, but Shannow rode forward and fired a second shot that smashed his skull. 'Sweet Chronos!' exclaimed Nu. 'I cannot believe it.' 'Neither could he,' said Shannow. 'Let us move on.' 'But... what of the body?' 'That's why God made vultures,' answered Shannow, touching heels to his stallion.
Evan Gray
This is weird and I'm sure the author is sneaking trough many of his fetishes, but I love it.
why is geralt such a gloomy bitch in the short stories?
>bawww i have to slay monsters for a living with my badass swords and potions >bawww i'm so horrifying to look upon (except to all these women who want my witcher dick) >bawww no one likes me (except for all my funny and colorful companions) >bawww muh lesser evil
i guess what i'm saying is lambert best witcher
David Rogers
>Reading anything by The Race Traitor Seth Dickinson
Avoid amerikwan sjw fiction. This is something that Nazis and Communists can actually agree on btw.
Samuel Carter
Ist it really that many? The main bunch of women protags are bound to urban-fantasy YA novels with questionable quality, and those shouldn't be read by anyone here anyways.
Have there been good Fantasy novels with girl/woman protags? I've read Sabriel which was not bad.
Adam Stewart
