lot of trolls bombarding /lit/ today.

These days its more in fashion to simply display the different races in action rather than front-loading a huge tutorial.

No one likes infodumps, unless they're amazingly written.

Don't think in terms of originality. If you're writing fantasy there's going to be an assumed degree of derivativeness, so tell your story and present it however way you best see fit. You're not writing experimental literature here, I don't think.

If you want the reader to feel they are reading an academic history of a fictional world an introduction like that might help, if you want them to feel at first alienated by the fantastical world and slowly come to an understanding maybe not.

You're a pleb for using TV Tropes so much it has saturated your vocabulary. Execrable.

Is this it?

What the hell.

Start by reading some introductory stuff about Freud.

Man and His Symbols is a great start seeing how it's basically Jung himself describing the fundamentals of his analytical psychology to the layman reader.

You need a pretty strong philosophic background in general, but if it's just Nietzsche we are talking about, Just reac chronologically. You can skip Birth of a Tragedy (it's a great read but not essential).

>>7788289
Noted, I think I'll manage that. But then I have only really read Notes from the Underground as far as strictly philosophy is concerned.

>>7788000

Dostoyevsky had a big influence on Nietzsche from what I understand - so that's good. But try getting a feel for Kant and Schopenhauer - they should come before Nietzsche too.

>>7788289
I disagree, skipping birth of tragedy is not a good idea, introducing Apollonian and Dionysian ...concepts(?)... especially important to reading beyond good and evil

I read eeeeeeeee eeee eeeeeeeeee or whatever its called last year and it was kind of cool, just an extreme deadpan surreal story.

taipei or shoplifting or eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

it's funny that he was pretty much the best writer that was in the 'alt-lit' group and then got booted out, or something. is it even still a thing anymore?

Taipei is ok. He seems like a fad, but I guess everyone important did at one point. Whatever.

Cause they're into edgy shit. Don't get too into it. They'll grow out of it. It's just like the "emo" phase of 2006.

if you enjoy his work then you should support him so he can keep writing. otherwise you're just a freeloader.

both volumes are on gen.lib.rus.ec

I live in a third world country and I can't afford 50 dollars for two books. I certainly would have if I could.

Wasn't it written to try and get the author's son into reading? From memory it's a very simple fantasy story. Like a Zelda for boys.

>>7787805
That's what the Wikepedia entry says, so it's probably true. I saw the first couple books on the shelf of the local bookstore I sometimes stop by, but I've never read them, so I can't give an opinion about them.

I was about to make a post about this. My brother (total plebeian) read the Mage's Apprentice books, and from the looks of it they were garbage.

Once I peered over to look at him reading these books, and I was surprised at how decently written they were. From what I saw, Ranger's Apprentice actually seems to be one of the higher tier fantasy series in terms of actually having some thought put into it and not being complete garbage, but then I've never bothered to read them properly.
