i liked the manga more.

Why are you morons spamming this garbage so hard?

This particular one I like, for the interesting mc (though it's a rip-off of Alex in Clockwork Orange).
Abercrombie is passable too. The rest tends to be shit.
This belongs in the SFF thread tho

I genuinely can't see why anyone would read fantasy, even if it's great by its standards.

Care to explain? Also keep in mind that I'm actually autist, and that I don't get most form of entertainment.

Escapism?

Becase certain people favor stories abot fantastical universes and events detached from reality, like other tend towards philosophy to satisfy their inner autist, or jst about any other genre really .

Reality blows

People have been obsessed with magic for thousands of years. It's this idea that we can have control over the uncontrollable.

Fantasy brings together that and the idea of the heroic adventure, which, you know, is also thousands of years old. And the more people feel like mysticism is lost, the more people long for adventure. It's the same reason people say shit like, I was born in the wrong time!
