Please explain the appeal. I tried reading it. The sentences

I think Littlefinger and Varys are genuinely interesting characters, but honestly, yeah, the rest of it's a waste. I'd prefer just one very long novel about those two.

No one faggot? go as r/books they like they shit no one here will defend except some faggy memesters that do it just to shitpost

>stephen king
oh my god you are serious

ASoIaF is unironically better than shit-tier literature like Of Mice and Men and To Kill a Mocking Bird.

If you can't see the appeal you are literally autistic. It's like asking what the appeal of Fifty Shades is -- what do you think it is?

I hated To Kill a Mockingbird so much that I almost wholeheartedly agree with this post.

>>9172979
This is one of the series big problems. Shit characters like Bran and Sansa are given chapter upon chapter while interesting characters like little finger, stannis and the hound are pushed to the wayside.

You'd have to have been into the books before the TV show did damage to the fanbase, really I hate how HBO's GOT has brought in the Harry Potter fanbase but I remember the discussions being a lot better and more civil before the first episode premiered.

All I really want to know now is what the Maesters end game is, is Varys allied with them, his full back story and what he and Little Finger's end game are and what is up with The Others.

It's a TV show novelization, that then got corrupted even more with a even worse TV show.

It's cheap entertainment for people who actually get entertained by these types of stories. There is nothing to understand.

lmao gl with that. the fat bastard will die soon, and an HBO shill will finish off the books quickly with dany chapters.

i like ariana chapters though, and her big brown areolas on her big tits

Lol, I remember the times when this was one of the most recommended fantasy series on lit, before it became mainstream. Why does 4chan assume that anything that gets popular is automatically shit?

RAPE

LOOK AT 50 SHADES HOW HARD CAN IT BE

But fantasy books in general were still a despised ghetto, right? I can't believe this place has changed -that- much.

>>9172974

The first two books are fantastic. I don't know what the fuck you're on about.

4chan is the hivemind of counter counter-culture. the second something gets traction in counter-culture circles it's shit. there are some cool people but generally 4chan is a gathering of autistic special snowflakes who can't think for themselves and maintain that image by finding as many obscure and/or edgy entities to make themselves feel special.
