Explain why the novel is amateurish. Challenge: no mention to plagiarism.
A alot of the hate came from the fact Paolini's parents had a publishing company and he got in purely through nepotism. Remove that and he wouldn't be as well known as he is today for his Star Wars/LOTR fanfic
I read it when I was like 16, back when the movie was coming out. It was very derivative but entertaining nontheless, maybe I found it interesting because I too was a big Star Wars and Lord of the Rings fan and around the age the author was when he wrote it. It's "okay" all things consider.
I recently read Murtagh and am currently preparing to write my first letter to Paolini. I started this series in third grade and it was fricking awesome, I had no clue who Tolkein was or about the plagarism- just that I wanted to be a dragon rider like Eragon. I also couldn't pronounce either of the main characters' names and was stuck putting the wrong emphasis on Eragon (e-RAH-gun) and butchering Saphira (sah-FIRE-uh) until my friend corrected me. To this day the series is my guilty pleasure, I don't care if it's a load of hot garbage.
What are everyone's thoughts on Oromis?
i'm not a mind reader
ha ha very funny
I'm still mad he didn't get with the cute elf girl at the end.
complaints about novels or about the author who wrote it?
should've published under a female or neutral sounding pen name
thought it was readable compared to hp which is what share it would've taken from also displacing the female less lotr
in other words the distinctions are political and the philosophy of it all relates to a less relevant crowd and so it would've generated more backlash and less mojo to do anything but let it pop and fizzle
look to today though and hp is for millenial female equivalent of grouchy lonely old male boomers
and kids these days just learn to emulate both of those and become cold and dead inside before they're even physically matured
bad examples, but also should say necessary or academic at least
honestly think it'll resurface later after say gen x are ... they're kind of like the silent generation of the culture war and it'll come back as the sort of propaganda to replace war flicks of stupid political memes nobody wants anyone to remember
I was miffed he didn't explain how sorcerers used spirit magic in the cycle. He also had a tendency to go into too much detail describing visuals. He'd say something like the main character glanced around a corner and then spend like two paragraphs describing all the details of some guards clothing. I want to say he got better about it, but I can't recall for sure.
However I will say he did a good job at selling the main character as the illiterate farm boy from a small isolated settlement. Even at the end he managed to balance that initial ignorance with the slap dash unorthodox education Eragon got. I also enjoyed the psychic banter between Eragon and Saphira. While some elements of humor didn't always work for they always felt earnest.
Anyway what color was your oc dragon partner? Don't deny, we all did it. Mine was white because I was hyper fixated on animal albinism at that time in my childhood.
>,but
its a good litmus test for whether you actually like slop or just tolerate it. there are no redeeming qualities, it has nothing to offer you.
>just tolerate it
books or otherwise if you get used to too high of a quality the lack of new or the drive to find more may as well find pandoras panties squared under a trolls outhouse
IQ/10
same as other
double speaking in circles is something only a moron would-whether you actually like slop or just tolerate it.
Why do you type like you've had a stroke? Also what color was your dragon?
grammar is for people with too much patience
I used to like the color white because clouds fly idk
14 is the goldilocks range for almost everything and only the unclean fail to realize this truth as for actually liking it well it's dumber to actually like anything more
>this is the type of person who likes eragon
I read it to avoid dying of boredom in school which was essentially a mandatory prison sentence
like is definitely too strong of a word, but every other fan base and every other genre is nonetheless dumber in a wisdom sense
perfection or whatever they're talking about is ... unwise stupid flappery fappery flippantry idk stupid
the absolute state
there is getting too used to high quality literature, and then there is actively liking literature written by a 14 year old.
are you fricking moronic?
>books or otherwise if you get used to too high of a quality the lack of new or the drive to find more may as well
if you weren't trying to make my point for me you did and if you were you shouldn't have but ty
you had a test called the life exam the perfect score would be to get a lot of the technical questions dead ass wrong because knowing that s just isn't fun
and yeah the whole story is about eragon's blue balls
when was this written?
I got that gay ass book as a birthday present
It was a book for kids written by a teenager, how can anyone seriously get upset at it?
This. It was a fun read as a kid, and I enjoyed the world and characters back then. I have no desire to reread it now, since it’s very much written for pre-teens as it’s audience.

You also probably enjoyed eating glue.
strawman
people get mad at its fans not the book itself
For me it was the fedora atheist elves
The movie sure as frick was. And yes the book was too.
I read it when I was ten after being drawn to the cool dragon on the cover in the library. I enjoyed it very much. I didn’t even realize the heavy similarities to things like star wars and lotr then, I was just happy to read about more dragons. It is very much a book for young kids but it is also a fun one.
