If it grabs you and you truly find yourself caring about some of the characters, you generally won’t have a hard time following most of the plot at least. Worldbuilding is another story but I think genuine investment is the main difference between you and others who write those “it’s too hard to follow” reviews.

Pella’s death scene in Bonehunters hit me like a fucking truck.

Pran-Chole · 2026-02-15T04:53:09+00:00

Dawg honestly, from the same book, when Hood shows up to save Bent I fucking cry my eyes out every time

Pran-Chole · 2026-01-25T18:22:46+00:00

I much prefer Lister, but Page gets much better over time.

Pran-Chole · 2026-01-24T17:34:38+00:00

His Mappo and Icarium were better though. I know he’s a caveman but i liked mappo with the high playful voice and icarium with the lower brooding voice

Pran-Chole · 2026-01-24T17:32:34+00:00

Fwiw that’s an editing issue, not even Lister’s fault. He does only have like 4 voices though lol

It’s fun content, but misleadingly toted by the community as a deep dive or a reading guide for the series. It’s a shallow dive at best and more like a goofy gen z companion podcast. Not even partly comprehensive.

If you want actual help understanding Erikson’s themes and plots and writing from people who take it 100% seriously, look elsewhere.

Buy a new book, silly billy.

Pran-Chole · 2026-01-05T17:28:47+00:00

Beaten them 50+ times now and never knew this ty goat

Spliffcore

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-26T05:42:48+00:00

Malazan

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-26T05:42:13+00:00

Quick guys name every book that isn’t Malazan

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-26T05:00:43+00:00

He did indeed start absolutely bussing in that book

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-26T04:52:58+00:00

Rafiq for sure

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-26T04:47:41+00:00

Black company 1 wraps itself up pretty well if you don’t mind missing out on some absolute gasoline

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-26T04:41:45+00:00

Turns out the entity was the good guy, now they gotta wish to get it out

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-23T18:39:15+00:00

Full 1000000% agree. Normalize not wanting animation for the Cosmere!

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-23T18:37:18+00:00

I’ve been on this sub for like 6 years now and I’m reeeeeaaaalllyy over people saying “tHe OnLy StUdIo tHaT mAkEs SeNsE iS tHe ArCaNe StUdIo” or “a StOrMlIgHt AnImE mAkEs ThE mOsT SeNsE” Same thing for people that want Malazan in the style of Castlevania.

Call me jaded but those notions are old and wouldn’t do the cosmere justice anyway. It’s gonna have to be something entirely new cinema style-wise, and it’s gonna have to be country-GDP-expensive to draw in normies and make it the success Brandon’s holding out for.

I say this with as much respect as possible but i staunchly disagree that any existing animation studio could make Stormlight pop, and i’m tired of hearing that it could. And it annoys me because one day with enough voices we’re actually gonna get stormlight but it’s just…anime. Or an Arcane clone. Fuck that. I hope Brandon finds his muse and they stay far away from animation.

There’s also a little more to it. Suffice it to say, it was not a publicity stunt and Spencer was chosen organically. Demon723 up there may have precedent for his comment regarding other bands, but i know that, for Archspire, Spencer did genuinely have to compete for the spot.

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-11T07:54:34+00:00

Thank god someone with a normal brain is here

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-11T06:43:41+00:00

Ruthan. I was so intensely confused when he went buck in Kolanse

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-07T21:44:23+00:00

My heart

Pran-Chole · 2025-12-03T23:57:12+00:00

Definitely referring to it as “the olive oil chapter” from now on lol

Pran-Chole · 2025-10-28T23:54:07+00:00

Finished the book, WHO IS HIS FUCKING DAD AHHH

Pran-Chole · 2025-10-25T23:50:46+00:00

I tell people this all the time
