Shitty elitism is by far the worst part of this board. Mistborn is not high literature but who cares. Let people fricking enjoy things.
Everybody loves Sanderson except IQfy therefore he must be good. Whenever IQfy is alone in hating something it means they are just being contrarian channers. This is now a book on my to read list.
Brandon Sanderson is THE dominant figure in the modern fantasy literature genre!
He is a beacon and inspiring by being one of the most succesful writers in our age and while also having high functioning down syndrome
Honestly, I think that Mistborn is the weakest of his works. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, while could do it for any of his other books and novellas that I have read so far.
currently reading, why do you call it reddit? i wouldn't call it a bad book tbh
Frick you. Like people reading genre fiction are already the majority of readers, so it doesn't hurt to have places where its totally looked down upon. Doesn't mean you can read it and enjoy it. Just keep it in the close you frickwit.
Got about 500 pages into the first mistborn book. The concept is fun, but the language is atrocious. It's the fantasy novel version of a hallmark Christmas movie.

why is everyone seething at op? christ you’re all so sensitive. over the last decade reddit has formed a community that can be profiled by certain characteristics and some books will give off that vibe. stop seething just because you enjoy reddit shit and answer the question.
for me it was every time i tried anything by vonnegut. what a fricking clown that guy is.
it didn't make sense to me how the most badass fighters of their time could be so weak
they weren't even all that old
I know it was supposed to parallel washed up rock stars, but it just didn't work for warriors
I read both books and I intend on reading the third, because I generally like the premise of the setting and it reminds me of a setting I made to run TTRPGs based on heavy metal aesthetics and tropes.
That said, it really irked me how he couldn't commit to any moment having gravity to it. Like every time something got serious or heavy or emotional, he'd reflexively shoehorn in a gag or silly quip as if to reassure the reader "Haha just kidding! This is a silly story about adventuring parties acting like rock stars!"
Puts me in a weird place, where I say I generally like the books, but if somebody asked me if I recommend them, I'd go "Eh..."
>full of cucks and homosexuality >main character (Kellhus) is a walking self insert that never does anything wrong and is constantly the coolest dude ever that everyone always bows down to (until the last like 10 pages where he gets smoked because he forgot about his child while Ajoktli has taken control or whatever the FRICK happened in that golden room)
Read this a while back and while it was inoffensive I got the sense that Sanderson could never become a great writer. Too much of what happens in the book seems only to exist because Sanderson saw it happen in other fantasy stories, and so rather than progressing by genuine creativity the book develops almost as a matter of course. There isn't a single character or story beat in it that hasn't been pulled consciously or subconsciously from other fantasy books. Only the magic systems are interesting.

It’s worse than that. This board is complete shit yet the sense of elitism remains
Bait post.
>Let people fricking enjoy things.
Yes, and I enjoy being critical and a gatekeeper of the arts.

"Natural harvest" a book on eating cum.
It's the 2nd most linked read book of all time. Picrel.
>natural harvest
…that’s legitimately a cookbook for using your own cum. I expected nothing less
>redditors are literally eating cum
>Dungeons and Dragons
I mean, trpg is a good hobby, but calling it a book?
Old Ravenloft modules are pure gothic horror kino tho.

Infinite jest
>full of racism and sexism

Also the prose is far above that of the reading level of the average plebbitor

Nah it's full reddit bro, sorry.
Eldest. Even as a kid I thought having the wise elves be vegetarian atheists was pathetically heavy-handed.

This is the same type of neurotic liberal drivel as contemporary reddit, only written 80 years earlier
