RCarr posted:I apologize if I offend anyone, as this is just my opinion, but I tried to read the Witcher books and I felt like I was listening to a 13 year old boy narrate himself playing a video game. It was painfully bad, and I couldn’t even finish the first book. It’s maybe one of 3 books in my life that I’ve started reading (out of hundreds) and didn’t finish. the books get significantly better with every entry and the last one is a masterpiece

YMMV but I found the Witcher short story collections to be better than the novels. It might worth reading a few of the short stories to see if you like them better.

The short story collections were both written and published (in Poland at least) before the novels, so this shouldn’t upset the chronologically impaired either. The Netflix show took most of its plots from the short stories.

It also doesn't help that some of the earlier books have not great translations. I don't mind any of the English translation work in general, but it certainly improves as they go along. I think the person localizing it may have changed to someone else partway through?

Do not joke about people dying in general and specifically during this pandemic. E: OK, to clarify, the posts about Kobe were in my opinion fine, but joking that someone might die is absolutely not. Safety Biscuits fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Mar 17, 2020 |

He's not writing anything we don't already know the answer to. The last great mystery is the fate of Strong Belwas.
