how does /lit/ deal with being this much assblasted on a daily basis? Why haven't you all committed group suicide yet? does the soylent help soothe your mental (and ass) wound?

Good or bad writing aside, he will never be a legend if he doesn't finish the series, which he won;t

Because worse has happened and worse will come to pass. Rupi exists, for one example, and she's considered to be a poetic voice of anyone born after 85. That's worse than an old fart who writes slowly but puts a lot of thought into how he can subvert or use well-known cliches to his advantage, and bases his fantasy in historical fiction.

Hell, anon, Tao Lin is a thing. Infinite Jest was a thing. There are people who marry fucking cartoons, for fuck's sake. This ain't shit. I'm actually kind of happy for him, but a little sad since I've seen the video of him playing with bubbles. Seems like he has it all, but all he seems to want is to finish his legacy and be with a qt. Especially after working in Hollywood so long, on scripts no less, I can respect that.

>Why haven't you all committed group suicide yet?
Not all of us allow a place we visit for shits, giggles, and information to define us. I visited /b/ for a while with a girlfriend, but there's no fucking way I'm going to define myself as part of that cancer.

>does the soylent help soothe your mental (and ass) wound?
My mental scars are caused and soothed by introspection and taking a long and hard damn look at myself for a lot of the shit I do, think, and say.

And it's popular because of the focus on adventure and discovery that it usually entails. Back then people didn't know everything and there was still mystery to the world

Not even that great in comparisons to other fantasy out there. My main gripe is they're very overrated.
