Are these books legitimately good, or are they only popular because of the games?
They are good in original . Translation to english is terrible - as its loosing its climate and style . not the fault of the translator - i would say , but rather the language . Apparently spanish and Russian translations are good .
in polish 10/10
in english 6-7 /10
The short story collections are pretty clever and interesting.
The main novels on the other hand are so damn bad I can't believe they're by the same writer.
Yes, nobody would've cared without the games.
It's genre fiction. Go to your containment thread, little boy.

As a Pole I am obligated to say yes
It is a postmodern take on fantasy ala Wolfe. I dont love it, but at least he tried.

are they even popular outside of poland?

As a Pole I have to say that at the beginning it was the other way around, at least in my case.

In the field of Kurwa fantasy Robert M. Wegner with his Meekhan seriesbeats the shit out of the Bitcher in every aspect. But it has no foreign translation exept Russian, so you suck cocks anglosaxon plebs.
