>Ironically I think the "cynical nihilism" complaint is a response to the fan community's (edgy zoomers usually) tendency to over-praise the darker elements of the books,
Projecting.
> But actually it's always been a story with clear good guys and bad guys, it's always been fairly clear that some attitudes to life, leadership and rulership are better than others--it's a story where the good guys sometimes lose, and where well-intentioned actions can have bad consequences, but that isn't at all the same as being nihilistic.
But it is nihilistic. Because even though he wants his "heroes" to earn their victories so to speak, he is ultimately setting everything up so that this doesn't happen. He is actively working against the archetypes in a Fantasy setting. Which is ironic because the whole point of the world buidling is that Magic returns, so if none of his characters embodies any archetype then his work is a big nothing burger.

Bait, but it's a shame how many people unironically believe all that.

>Martin is in denial about his own health/morality
>Martin doesn't give a fuck about finishing the books
>Martin doesn't think he can live up to the hype and would rather it remain a mystery or be left to someone else
Which one?
