This is the "drunken James Joyce" people were promised in my Furlites of Aroriel thread! And yeah, I'm not sure I have any plans to return to that book. It's just becoming so hard to read I can't even get entertainment out of it.quote:United Federation of Kingdom Nations Ah, the UFKN (pronounced "You-Fuckin").

A human heart posted:Except that the style here isn't very similar to Joyce at all. Yes please provide accurate literary criticism to my joke about a crazy person’s religious sci-fi book.

Whybird posted:There's a style of writing that I'm seeing here and that shows up a lot in other amateur works, and I don't know if there's a name for it. It's like the author has imagined a film and is transcribing what happens onto the page. Everything in this book is described in terms of a thing that could happen on a camera, either because the author originally had an idea for a film and couldn't finance it, or because the author has seen lots and lots of films and not read very many books. I think that’s exactly it. I wrote like that when I was 13. My brain is fighting against understanding this. All the words make sense, but it’s like he took LSD during a fever dream and transcribed the book over the course of a single night. Does he even remember writing this or did it appear fully formed in the morning like when Stephen King was on his cocaine benders?

Gonna form a death metal band called Seeds of Evil, and the first song will be "Intellectual Filth".

I wonder how long it took those dark gods to arrange 10,000 corpses into pentagrams. Were they big pentagrams or did they just use one body for each line? Also I think I found the soundtrack for evil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfXmy6YCnZc

The extremely detailed descriptions that defy any kind of logic makes it sound like he's actually describing something seen in a hallucination.

Proteus Jones posted:Yeah, take heart from the views. It really takes effort to parse this. Even without the spelling and grammatical mistakes, it's as dense as uranium and spilling over with superfluous and sometimes seemingly impossible detail. Trying to build a mental image of the scene in your mind is like sensory overload.

Tulul posted:Hyper-specific descriptions of everything is very Biblical, although it's hard to tell if that's intentional or the byproduct of bad writing. Has there been any indication of why the Bible got into such specific measurements?
