IIRC this person is meant to be snobby and pretentious and like they are talking without saying much of substance. he is using dull, useless language to describe accepted standards.

Quit porn and excessive internet use. If you're american, go talk to a doctor about how you feel like you're dumb and you'll be prescribed some speed.

What are good books to go after him? I've read most of his stuff now and his pessimism is not doing anything to me anymore. I want to go deeper into the rabbit hole. Where's a good place to go after him?

/lit/ do you believe it is possible that the writings of CWC will be considered classic pieces of outsider art of the early internet age after his death?
or are sonichu and his other creations too derivative and amateurish to ever become a part of the canon?

Thank you for reminding me about CWC. I was sitting here thinking about how desolate my life is and how it's gonna have a bad ending, but man, at least I didn't shit the fucking bed like that guy.

So Chris-chan is a tranny now. I wonder when he's going to realise he made a terrible mistake? Autism is a hell of a drug.

What is the best description of a hangover in literature? I don't think I've ever seen a truly effective, accurate description of what it really feels like. For some reason, authors just can't seem to capture it.

when risen from my oily grave, vomitus plaguing the wind using me as a meat filter, i am a shambles. my now cavernous skull echoing with the clang of Sisyphus' stone as it rolls to the other end of the hill, hitting a wall of stone and jarring it to its fundaments. this, i realize, is my pulse. my mind a raisin, i beg for water, something to quench me, and only until i drown myself in the precious liquid, can the monochrome world return to the dimmest of hues.

>>10004803
in retrospect, "hitting a bone wall" might be better.
How do I get into reading?
How do I stop getting bored when it's more fun to browse the internet?
What books should I read if I haven't read a book finish in 24 years?
How do you enjoy books if you have no imagination?

Which gender makes for a more interesting protagonist, assuming gender itself isn't integral to the work?

The female condition is inherently more complex, so that.
>assuming gender itself isn't integral to the work
I can think of many male-led stories where gender isn't integral to the work, but do you know of any novels with a female protagonist where gender isn't a focal motif? Really boggles the nogggles.

How can the self be subservient or bellow itself?

What do you mean by this?
>>
>>10004645
Just read it dummy.

The ego is the conceptualization of the self.
I.E. Who I think I am. Persona etc
it's basically everything above the extremely basic "raw experience"
Why are "mindgames" anime so appealing and what is the literary equivalent for it. Stuff like Death Note, Kaiji, Log Horizon, etc.

I want to be a writer. I have for years, in fact, but it is slowly becoming a reality that I have no talent in writing. I am simply not good at writing. Is there any substitute for natural talent, or should I just give up on my aspirations?
