View submission: The Best Books of 2024 Winners!
Are you really that surprised? His fandom is almost on the level a cult. I swear he could write a book completely condemning their very choices in life, and they'd call it fantastic.
Go to any recommendation thread and you're sure to see Mistborn recommended. It could be a post along these lines:
I'm looking for a book which is not remotely fantasy, in fact I want it to have outright distain for fantasy as a genre, it must be written by a woman of colour, has lots of lesbian sex, swearing, smoking, completely condemn the Mormon religion, with such high end beautifully flowery prose, that Oscar Wilde would blush himself back to life. Any recommendations?
And sure as hell, you'll see at least one reply for Mistborn or Stormlight Archive. Pretty much:
I didn't read your post, but can I recommend Mistborn.
A while back, someone posted asking for recommendations for magical realism books. And sure enough, someone replied with Mistborn, because it has a hard magic system. In some quarters it's actually become a meme.

He *has* written books condemning his fans lol. Not intentionally, but the climax of Oathbringer is a main character taking responsibility for his horrible crimes by rejecting the idea that god's influence took away his free will, and I saw so many people insisting that 'he wasn't really a bad guy because he was being manipulated.' They literally take the side of the villains. But tbh I wouldn't say that makes them much different from any other reddit user.
