Now everything has to be funny in some modern way, and it's really tiring, considering mythology main appeal it the unreal feeling of something in a forgotten and old world, and you are making it almost like a bad drama. Oh, that's what you meant by it, personally I have problmes with his newer work but eh, to each their own.
Channelknight Fadran Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 I'm glad that Riordan's trying to represent a lot of cultures and archetypes, though I will admit that his writing's gone a little stale.

No, that's what I mean. His older work had found a good balance with what he was doing, and his newer work threw that out because he doesn't know how to keep it interesting. And, I just need to see if I'm the only one that noticed this, but he has a very recent trend with adding a character with either disabilities or LGBTQ into his newer books. Literally everyone, and he didn't have any in his old books. I was fine at first, I am down for those characters, but he has been having them in every book, and some of them fall very flat. It great to be inclusive, but forcing your representation can be jarring. Like, of his 8 newest books, 6 have new characters with the traits I mentioned above (And the other two I haven't read in a long time.), and again, his early work had none of it. There's a part of me that likes it because we now have more of those characters, but there's the other part that feels he has gone way off base in an attempt to include more and more. Also, I swear, I don't know how he writes books so small.

I have no idea how he contains his idea into such small packages. then again, he seems to be running out of ideas, so maybe not a surprise.

Well, they're written for younger children like harry potter. Wait... Never mind. They are short.
Condensation she/her Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Okay, I've got a lesson for everyone. Always spend so much time worldbuilding that the story is drowned out! No one wants to hear that, they want to hear about all of the random towns on the face of the planet!
Bearer of all agonies he/him Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Yeah, also, instead of using spaces, use random letters and numbers.

Last one works for Mull and whoever wrote those Warrior cat books too. Interestingly, the Warrior cat books are written by multiple authors. "Erin Hunter" is a collective pseudonym for Victoria Holmes, Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Inbali Iserles, Tui T. Sutherland, Kasey Widhalm, and Rosie Best.

There are so many books and only Sanderson can write that fast.
Shard of Reading he/him Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 @Frustration I just watched some of that youtube channel. It's awesome.

Condensation she/her Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I like to write upside down. It feels impressive.
