What is an 'asmr faggot' and how did they make you read a book?

Dimitri, in one video he was tapping shit and one of the things he was tapping was the book and he mentioned how it was his favorite fantasy series ever
I've read the first 4 books but just could'nt be bothered wading through his writing style.
He spends WAY too long describing EVERYTHING in a scene. He'll describe the type of stitching in a dress for 3 paragraphs.
The overarching plot is interesting but it just gets pushed aside by all the details
>the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own...

I'm reading the first book right now, probably a third of a way through. Does it get more interesting. Everything you said so far seems true.

for a second I mistook the cover for runelords

expect more braid tugging and skirt smoothing and less and less happening until by book 9 nothing happens at all.
Post yfw Sanderson casually reveals Graendal killed Asmodean
Fuck you, dude. I spent so many hours of my childhood trying to solve that mystery

and he made you read the book by chaining you to a wall in the basement and you only got water if you'd finished a chapter? he held a fucking gun to your head?

That's about how far i got too. There were some interesting concepts but I found I just couldn't care enough to slog on

It wasn't even Sanderson. Jordan's fucking widow wanted to stick the tidbit in the glossary as a "lesson to always read the glossary."
No, fuck that. It was such a compelling mystery and Sanderson had a chance to take control of the spectacle and reveal the answer in the grand way. But he bungled the whole damned thing.
The series does get better
Literal boringest ever. Would rather read LOTR or ASOIAF or Shannara or Dark Tower.
