Ok so im definitely a huge faggot because one of my favorite stories is A Song of Ice and Fire. Everyone gives the writing a ton of shit for being bad apparently, but i still feel like its a good story regardless of the writing, like the show. Why is it so heavily shit upon?

What is specifically bad about it?There has to be a reason
Thomas Parker
it isn't 'literary'
Samuel Richardson
Memes aside the writing is usually nothing special, but even among people who like the series those with a modicum of taste will admit that plot, pacing and so on went to shit past the first couple books
Me, I just think it's boring
James Campbell
So, the language isnt poetic enough? What about the pages and pages literally just describing the feasts theyre having?
Josiah Ward
I mean, it is kind of dry, but the story unfolds later on just enough to make up for that
