Why didn't you tell me Achamian is a literal faggot ahead of time, and saved me 17 bucks. Into the trash it goes.

literally who in what by who, if we knew we would have told you but honestly that cover looks boring and the title generic, i can only assume its some sort of genre fiction skirting by being that bland

My disappointment is immeasurable. I saw that post, and was told the guy getting ass raped by the gay demon thingamabob was nobody of importance, and that it was only that page (which might still be true, I'll never know). However, it's heavily implied the main character is fucking some other guy, and you don't find out about it until you're almost 70 pages in. Nigga are you serious

Achamian and Esmenet were such unbelievably repulsive characters that I almost didn’t want to move on to The Aspect Emperor. I enjoyed the entire series and I’ll likely read it again but those two are unreal, especially Esmenet. Thankfully they get better in the second series and Achamian becomes an actually likable character.

>> No.21322967

These are pretty shit descriptions of the book. Fixating one thing that triggers you every 80 pages of a book because "X = bad an unacceptable!!!" is literally peak SJW. You're no different from the people trashing it because the female MCs aren't all gender transcending heros.

I liked the books. None of the characters are particularly likeable, that is sort of the point.

I liked the kaleidoscopic battle scenes but other parts of the prose were weak. Still, 10/10 unique world. Basically a mashup of Dune, LOTR, and Berserk with some Hegel thrown in; right up my alley. I get why some people don't like it though.

>> No.21322975

Moreso than Cnauir or Conphas? Those two seem far more awful.

And then Kellhus stands above as the absolute worst. He's basically the mirror image of the skin spies in many ways, just better at it.

It's amusing seeing these seetheposts obviously meant to provoke Bakkerchads, but to no effect. Bakkerchads have no doubt of TSA's sublimity. We are secure in our superiority. To brag about dropping a masterpiece of fiction because a single page was icky to you provokes no response but pity from the Bakkerchad. Pity at the lowly worms ardently throwing away the opportunity to experience perfection in literary form.

I absolutely loved Cnaiur up until he raped a certain man. Conphas was also one of my favorite characters until the end. Kellhus is quite difficult because I have a hard time even seeing him as an actual character. He is really more like an AI and not human at all.

Bakker has mainly drawn from both Dune and LotR. He himself said that these two were his main inspiration. I don’t know how Berserk is supposed to fit though. Aside from that I think I remember that Bakker said he would always have a copy of the Bible and Blood Meridian laying on his table while writing. Though I am not fully sure if I remember that correctly
