if you think about it they kind of are the good guys. Basically if all the other made up races didn't abandon their own when they get ugly there'd be no orc problems. Basically what I am saying is elves look all cool and stuff but they're kind of snobs.
Of course not. I mean why would I ever do something like that.....Yes but.......have you seen the Yellow Sign?
You might like the works of Haruki Murakami, and I especially love his short stories and The Wind Up Bird Chronicles. They all don't follow a hierarchy of demons, but the novels all have a melancholy feel with super natural stuff just threaded through the stories, and everyone ok with this... as if it were perfectly natural to read someone's mind or someone call themselves a psychic detective.
Read 1984 but I think that’s it. That was a great read.
The Wing Up Bird Chroncs is his best novel, IMO. It tickles all the right places and gives just enough of everything to keep you enthralled till the end. His short stories are his masterpieces though. He can do in just a few pages what most novelists can't do in 500. Plus, when he is funny, he is hilarious. When he is creepy, your skin will crawl. I've started reading a bunch of Japanese authors now, and it is amazing how that style is just not found in English speaking writers.
Mostly by older readers. In today's PC culture many consider him a villain.
He is getting more popular among younger people too. I'm 24 myself.
Played them both.? I do like Bloodborne though.
Sadly, those are the ones listened to the most.
My favorite author in the genre is Algernon Blackwood. Among my favorite short stories of his are:
Where’s that list feature...guess I’ll just bookmark the thread and add it to my list of bookmarks ?
If you like comics I highly recommend Hellboy. It has gods, witches, legends and all kinds of weird stuff going on. Lots of mythological references.
Not what you're saying but it reminds me of one of the dumbest writing tropes. The allegory for racism in a fantasy setting. Like mutants in comic books. If gay people could kill you with their laser eyes homophobia would make sense.
I don't think he's really considered a villain as much as problematic. You know you have to mention his problems you know kind of like that one uncle. Oh which happened during his lifetime even with his friends. The dude had problems and also was a really good writer and those two things overlap with him. The difference is now we can read so much about people and it's harder to seperate the work from the man. But I haven't seen a lot of he's a villain as much as he had some problems and fucked up views.
Yeah, that kind of thing is all over the place with artists of various disciplines. It can be difficult to unsee things once you’ve seen them about people which may lead to challenges enjoying their work.
