Am I the only one?

[RepresentingWrath]

Am I the only one who ignores all the popular fantasy authors and series, yet reads the worst, f-tier crap written by authors from my country?

 

[SRB]

Nope. I read fanfics, that's gotta be worse.

I choose books at random and then comment on every single chapter.

A lot of people do but they keep quiet about it.

What about you, Paul?

Popular authors aren't going anywhere, I can always look at the trends of the past years. But the crappy books from Russia... They will get lost over time.

From my experience, popular books are rarely entertaining for me, though I may not have searched thoroughly enough. Most books that touch my favorite topics aren't exactly popular, at least not in mainstream media. Rare few of them are well-known on some writing sites (Vigor Mortis is quite popular with 6,5M views on RR, for example), but I don't think any of them reached a wide enough audience to be considered globally popular.

I have pretty high standards for stories though, so even when I find stories with themes I like, I often drop them if they're badly written.

I've been so focused on my own work that I haven't had the time to even consider reading someone else's.

Dino brother, you write! It is way cooler than reading. Take me for example, I've been on hiatus for how long, 3 years? Meanwhile you were writing all this time. You deserve, at the very least least, a chocolate medal for not giving up.

 

[Navillus]

No.

I read whatever I can get my hands on. Though I haven't read in a while.

I was talking about traditionally published books.

Don’t know what country your from, but in the US most published modern fantasy novels are either horny smut for teenage girls, or cookie cutter Brandon Sanderson wannabes so I don’t blame you
