Any other Brazilian here who also thinks fantasy is extremely

Have you read much Brazilian/Portuguese fantasy, or are you just reading translations? Também, eu estou aprendendo português, então você sabe alguns livros bons nessa língua?

I've had the opposite experience, though admittedly I've only read ASOIAF in Portuguese. I highly enjoyed GoT to FfC, and when Dance of Dragons finally came out I wasn't gonna wait, and boy was it terrible. I never understood all the complaints /lit/ had about GRRM's writing until I actually read it in English.

I have read only translations. Em português eu gosto muito do José Saramago, mas com sinceridade não tenho nenhum interesse em literatura brasileira.

I think sci-fi is just naturally suited for english
it benefits greatly from unnecessary verbosity

Yeah meriachis in space or whatever sounds like shit

I find it a problem to read anything in our native tongue because for whatever reason everything sounds corny to me. Never finished O Tempo e o Vento because of that.
Even if it's a Portuguese writer I've a hard time with it.

Actually I take some of that back. There's things I read as a kid I can only read translated. Don't remember what book it was but it said something like "Melhor. Cavalo. De todos!" and like, that sounds okay, but the original is "Best. Horse. Evar!" and that's as cringy as you get.

All of my friends love André Vianco's stuff but I tried to read it once and it was extremely cringy. Maybe I'll try again later.

Eu acredito que depende da editora. Algumas editoras, principalmente quando o livro fica muito famoso lá fora, pressionam os tradutores à traduzir 1000+ paginas em menos de 6 meses. Ai é só problema.

dom casmurro is a great book, possibly the best ever written in portuguese
