Tramnedator Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hello everyone! New here after my long journey of exploring the Cosmere! I started reading at the beginning of the pandemic, and what an excellent way to spend the time! My introduction was with The Emperor's Soul, then really getting into it with Mistborn and beyond! Looking forward to my time here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tramnedator Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 I really enjoy fantasy, but science fiction really is close to my heart. I honestly feel Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere really fits both categories and is probably how I fell in love with the Cosmere. Some other authors I enjoy are Dennis E. Taylor, Andy Weir, and Craig Alanson. One of my favorite authors is Dennis E. Taylor, who wrote the Bobiverse Series. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves sci-fi and also a good laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many good characters, but any chapter with Wayne or The Lopen is a winner to me. I feel like if I had to choose my least favorite character, it would be the onscreen Lord Ruler. The offscreen Lord Ruler really did some crazy stuff, and I loved his whole lore, but the onscreen Lord Ruler, a full feruchemist/Mistborn who is a sliver who held the power with untold knowledge, just kinda went poof lol. The onscreen Lord Ruler is kinda a putz. You made me say it lmao! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to balance out least favorite from properly hated. Sure I hate Moash but in the way that you love a villain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The onscreen Lord Ruler is kinda a putz. You made me say it lmao! This is so true. TLR remains one of my favourite villains, but so much about what makes him compelling/interesting is implied but not shown directly. I find it really interesting how Brandon handled him. Spoilers for Mistborn Era 1: Spoiler First, we just hear about him. Then we feel his insane soothing but don't see him. Then we see him just murder Kelsier like its nothing. All of this is just building him up and up and up. In the fight with Vin we see his power somewhat (he's able to compel truth from her with the intensity of his soothing and rioting, and his pushes impact glass and internal metals), but not for long. This further complicated when we find out he isn't the author of the logbook - everything we thought we knew about his character is shown to be someone else. Really, we know VERY very little about him. Hope to see you around the forums and on discord! Probably should continue this conversation here in the introduction threads, but if you want to discuss further I know there's a lot of people interested in The Lord Ruler here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great points! I'm looking forward to getting more involved in the community. The Cosmere is crazy and I'm hoping to talk about these crazy things with people who are crazy about it! Any tips for a new person on the forum? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comatose Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 I think our rules and guidelines are a good place to start - as well as our spoiler policies (basically keep in mind which subsection you are posting in and what books are informing what you are writing about). Reading the introductory posts on threads carefully is useful to tell you what kind of discussion is intended (casual, venting, debate, gushing, etc) and might help you to stay on tone. Similarly, when you are starting your own threads, making it clear what kind of discussion you are hoping to have in the introductory post might be a good idea too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
