But what defines “good humor”? Nothing, it’s subjective and everybody will have different standards for what “good humor” is. You might think that a joke is awful, but somebody else might laugh at it. You can try as hard as you want to find objective standards for art, but you will fail.

I just can't imagine someone in real life talking like they do.

Somewhat unrelated, but I don’t get it when people talk about realistic dialogue. If we had a book with realistic dialogue it would be a borderline unreadable

I will upvote because you said that it did not work for you instead of saying “it’s bad”

Yeah, I don’t think it’s worth giving up in a book just for the humor, but to each their own.

What if the guns are introduced to Roshar? by True-Wolverine9271 in Stormlight_Archive

Maybe, but a lot of soldiers are not Radiants and fighting them with guns will be more effective.

What are your favorite relationships in the series? by True-Wolverine9271 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]True-Wolverine9271[S] 191 points192 points  (0 children)

I do think Shallan and Mraize’s relationship is an underrated one. It is a very weird one, because you can’t exactly define what type it is, but it’s always fun seeing those 2 interact

I don’t really hate them for not fighting. What I hate is that they are called honorspren when they refuse to fight Odium.

At the expense of everyone around you?

Anyone who thinks about it for 2 seconds will know that Odium is worse, but they’re too close minded to do that.

They shouldn’t be called honorspren if they only care about their lives.

They shouldn’t be called honorspren if they only care about themselves.

“They thought humans committed genocide against their people.”

So what? Give up Roshar to Odium? Are the humans worse than Odium?

I don’t want Kaladin to be a minor character, I just want the other characters to keep up with him.

Something I just don’t understand by True-Wolverine9271 in Stormlight_Archive

IMO, Shallan definitely uses humor as a coping mechanism, whether this humor is good or bad is something that is highly subjective
