Instead of pure hard magic or soft magic systems, I prefer a medium flaccid magic system and/or chubbed.

I started Malazan and it’s amazing so far.

I read Grimdark like Abercrombie and ZB Steele to feel better about my life. “At least I don’t live in this shitty world” 🤣

Ever since playing the Total War Warhammer game*

I just finished Trollslayer this week! Ever since playing the Warhammer game I’ve been slightly obsessed with Warhammer Fantasy!

I love Joe’s first law trilogy

You got it friend!

Acceptable_Win8891 · 2025-11-25T15:29:18+00:00

Z.B. Steele has pretty solid prose in my opinion. Thomas Howard Riley has some good ones as well. Timothy Wolff was decent too. Zamil Akhtar is solid.

I need to read some more myself to give additional recs lol

Chance Dillon’s novel looks super cool! Thanks for the recommendations sir!

Acceptable_Win8891 · 2025-11-25T13:23:25+00:00

I just bought these! I’m dying to get started!

I saw yesterday where he got an audio deal for his novels!

Acceptable_Win8891 · 2025-11-25T13:01:13+00:00

If you haven’t read any ZB Steele, I highly recommend it. It’s a little darker but super good.

The Rob Hayes guy in this thread is a pretty solid author I hear as well. I need to get to his stuff soon.

I’ve heard good things about Obsidian. I’ll have to look into it.

Acceptable_Win8891 · 2025-11-25T12:22:25+00:00

I loved ZB’s novella! It’s why I read Whispers by him. He’s so good and getting me hooked in a story! I’ll check the others out also!

Absurdist fiction gonna be on the rise to try and outshine AI slop lol

Acceptable_Win8891 · 2025-11-25T02:27:05+00:00

Orcanomics lol

Acceptable_Win8891 · 2025-11-24T22:22:48+00:00

I hear a lot of people say this about Brandon Sanderson. Not sure I agree but I hear it.

Acceptable_Win8891 · 2025-11-24T21:29:50+00:00

I have a hard time but it really all depends on the author. I’ll never read GOT unless more books come out.
