you should be in sales

LMAO, thank you comrade.

where do you suggest i start?

Just pick Eye of the world and don't look back, the one prequel new spring is best read after the series, or like after book 7, since there are a lot of things that you will piece together from info from the main series.

but yeah, just pick Eye of the world and the next 13 books are just the sequels. It's not a revolutionary piece of work but it's damn well one of the most enjoyable reads I've ever had, helped me through tough times on multiple occasions.

I genuinely cannot recommend the series enough, the first book is heavy on the fellowship of the ring inspiration and is more or less a homage, but unique enough and very fun to read through, the second and third books are unique enough and more or less set the basic plotlines for all the characters for the rest of the series. The prose is honestly one of the better parts, it isn't overtly flowery (I personally prefer more flowery prose but wot is an exception) but it just flows, there are flowery and verbose bits and he uses them really well throughout, makes the scenes hit harder when the prose gets flowery.

The world is heavily gendered and imo, there are parts that anyone can point out and say that's misogynistic and they would be fair but i think that is just because of how gendered the world is and some cultures are going to be misogynistic, and i always felt that its just a reflection of jordan being really thorough. Though it does feel needlessly sexualizing at times, but might just be me nitpicking. The character work is genuinely the best in any piece of media i have seen, especially for most of the main cast.

The pacing from Books 1-3 is excellent, books 4-6 just fly while 7 and 8 are good, 9 and 10 are undeniably a slog, a problem with an author getting too enamoured with the world they created imo. one thing i cannot stress enough is how well jordan researched the cultures he is inspired by, the world building is just amazing and also the story itself is very realistic in the way how the politics revolve around everyone's material interests.

Don't think the troglodytes who usually read it will care either way.

Reading brain dead fantasy is a guilty pleasure of mine, so i have been reading this series called sun eater for the last week, but omg had to put it down because the author (fuck me for being into shit predominantly populated by white men) legit wrote about this society of socialists who dont have names and only use state approved phrases and where the communist government's evil plan to replace the entire population with hermophrodite clones to remove gender inequality from society is discovered and spoiled by the hero. pretty fucking shite.

If i am not wrong Facebook's current model does the opposite of this (so did most of the other LLMs) convert images to text to feed them to the model.

Got banned from a supposedly safe space ahem r/fantasy ahem for calling out that recommending a mormon and Zionist author Sanderson to an east asian looking for hope is ironic.

Fuck the American crackdown on student protestors or the Zionist militia that's arresting and killing journalists or anyone speaking against them
