I hate this sub; it’s so PRETENTIOUS and ARROGANT when it comes to animanga and Brandito Sandoso like, bruhhhhh, stop laughing at the fans! It’s just their opinion.

Reading manga is like reading literature didn’t you know that, you pretentious assholes? You’re hurting the feelings of the whole r/writingscaling and Mediatok community!

You go on about Hamlet and Captain Ahab, but Subaru’s scene on the stairs beats them both it’s not even close! You only like that old crap to make yourselves seem """""interesting""""" and """""different""""" when in reality, you’re just pretentious snobs.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to play Subahibi so I can larp it and brag to my friends on Mediatok which, by the way, neg-diffs Moby Dick. I mean, Moby Dick is just some bum trying to hunt a whale bruhhhhh, I bet the message of that garbage is just "don’t kill whales, because fish are friends, not food," or some other woke nonsense like that.

What books will will save the west from degeneracy?

"Mom, dad, I like men," the Malethi lighteyes said, holding the hand of his Parmesandi beau. Manspren--like huge, throbbing cocks with various color pubic hairs ejaculating in a loop like a gif--floated around his head.

"Are you sure?" asked his mother, raising her safeleg across her mustache, which was slathered in crem.

His father, also a Malethi lighteyes raised an eyebrow, question spren--like little black question marks in the question position, not like the weird Spanish ones--floated about.

"Well son, I might have some war stories myself." Manspren--like huge, throbbing cocks with various color pubic hairs ejaculating in a loop like a gif--floated around his head. "But stories are for women." Womenspren--like pink huge throbbing clitorii swinging around in a circle--also began to swirl around his head.

I swear to god im gonna do it

Just heard about unreliable narrators and this one might be fucking with me.

Man, I hate comments like this.

DCC is crude and gorey. 100% Like, really crude and really gorey.

But it's critics act like it has no redeeming qualities.

The depth of the relationship between Carl and Donut is fantastic.

Donut's growth is great to watch.

The morally grey situations are phenomenal. How many books have you read where you feel bad for someone that murdered their own child? And it was something the protagonist did that caused it?

And the themes about slavery/body autonomy and compliance are interesting.

And that's all ignoring the really good solutions to problems that Carl comes up with.

Plus there's a lot of depth to what happens. There are so many layers to "We don't risk our lives for our pets." I'm still thinking about a couple years later.

I can totally understand not liking it. It's crass as fuck. But that's part of the charm for me.

And just to set the stage, I really really liked the Broken Earth books. But I like DCC more, and part of that is probably the humor. I'm a 51 year old father with 2 adult daughters that has probably read 500 books in the last 10 years and DCC is my second favorite, right up there with First Law, Seveneves, Murderbot, Revelation Space, etc. Only thing I like better is Malazan.
