Ha, he can't even make up believable bullshit answers about a "completed" story.

He used his fallback statement from when he first published "I had it all wrote up already, but since it was split into multiple books blah blah" I wrote parts of a thesis on the changes in social media around Rothfuss as an authors two years ago. And this same poo poo is still going on haha.

Yeah, BotL’s critiques of the writing in these books from the previous thread are very insightful. I read them as I was working on a fantasy novel and there were some “oh poo poo” moments that caused me to go back and change things.

I read them as I was working on a fantasy novel and there were some “oh poo poo” moments that caused me to go back and change things. The biggest ones for me were where he pointed out all the female characters only exist to make Kvothe look better. They have 0 agency or important to the story other then serving as a set-piece for Kvothe to dunk on someone or swoon as he looks cool. I don't think BotL ever even covered the atrocity that was book 2 where Kvothe saves two women who were being held and likely gangraped by a fake Ruh gang and 2 pages later they're begging him to have sex because he's such a heroic figure. I can't remember and I'm not digging it out to check but I also thought there was some incredibly gross line about how the captives being sex abuse victims meant they wouldn't be able to get good husbands back in their village and that's bad but oh well it happens in poor backwater villages and Kvothe can't do anything about it.

Yeah there’s a bunch of absolute garbage in Wise Mans Fear. It’s such an aimless, baggy book filled with objectionable stuff. This is a great review of it: https://www.pornokitsch.com/2011/06/new-releases-the-wise-mans-fear-by-patrick-rothfuss.html

Kvothe thinks about how the child sex slave looks really hot and just like the girl he wants to bang, then caresses her while she fails to resist because he drugged her posted:In fifteen minutes she was asleep. I covered the two of them with a blanket and watched their faces.

Somewhat unrelated but images of jack from twitter are circulating now that he banned trump and his beard is possibly even worse than Rothfuss’.

The idea that the book is completed is laughable as he showed his outline of the third book not long after WMF came out and all he had written was "Ambrose does something here." in one of the chapters. My poo poo is more complete than that. I'll point out that this entire arc with the fake Ruh is a copy and paste of the short story he wrote that got him published in the first place.

Just saw this in a Wheel of Time review blog, badass grandpa Thom Merrilin is a king killing bard (he killed king Galldrian), and he had a girlfriend named Dena... The book where Dena turned up (before being killed) was released 1990, so long before Rothfuss published anything.

Taking a side plot from a 13 book series and expanding it into a trilogy is not a bad idea. Though it only makes it funnier that it’s taken 1600 pages to get hardly anywhere in that plot.

Replace the fae monsters with Nazghul or Shades or whatever Robert Jordan called them and yup. The structural similarities are disguised by the frame story, but the Chandarian are basically the Forsaken..

Listening to the podcast of "372 Pages We'll Never Get Back" from back when they were covering Ernest Cline's "Armada." Unsurprised to hear the hack called one of his characters Kvothe, or one of the character's game characters was named Kvothe at least.

Armada posted:When I pulled up my friends list, I saw that Cruz and Diehl were both already logged in, their player rankings listed beside their call signs. Cruz (whose call sign was “Kvothe”) was currently in 6791st place, and Diehl (aka “Dealio”) was ranked 7445th. Their Terra Firma player rankings were much higher, but they were both still a long way from making it into the Thirty Dozen like Ray.

Remember, the guiding principle of nerd media is not quality, it's how many times you can repeat the same limited concepts the nerd recognizes so he can stand up and clap like a trained seal. It's literally how in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame they play a musical sting when a character does something heroic so you can cheer.

Ah, I never read Wheel of Time but the fact that it actually concludes is a big plus, especially with multiple side plots. Kingkiller has no side plots and doesn't get anywhere in anything. Or perhaps Kingkiller is all side plots, but since they all involve Kvothe it fools us into thinking its part of the main plot.

I mean work. Maybe like 5 years ago he could've claimed he had a contract and writer's block and the publisher was forcing him or something but not it'll require him to die to run out of money, and sadly I think we know which of those will happen first.

Just came across this new article which seems based on the Twitch stream the thread has already commented on, but I hadn't seen this before:quote:Rothfuss also answered a few other, more frivolous questions. For examples, what would he do if he were immortal and indestructible? “I would write books forever,” he said. “I could get so much done on an infinite timeline. I would feel free to put some things off, I could so so much revision.”

It concluded because the original author died because it spent five hundred years on side plots and descriptions of sniffing and braid tugging and so the author's wife hired a guy to finish the books. I'd say the Kingkiller Chronicles are well on their way to having the same ending.

Well it is sort of a book about academia so it would be fitting if he gave someone second author billing for finishing the manuscript.

"Write what you know" is an age old advice for a reason, and if you wanted to write with an infinite timeline go out and experience the world so you can write more than trite hairy potter knockoffs. "I'd sit and write" is such a bullshit answer that all it tells the audience is no, you wouldn't.
