If a book doesn't get an ending it is not a good book. This shit is literally blue balls the series I gave my books away 10 years ago.

I dropped halfway through 4. This was mostly because I figured he wasn't going to finish the series and I was just reading the setup for something that wouldn't conclude. The first 3 books were fun and work as their own thing though.

It was never good to begin with, it's cheap shock value and shlock.

I started writing my own autismal worldbuilding fantasy novel out of spite and it tickles me that my casual hobby project has a better chance of getting published and hitting the shelves than Winds of Winter.

I still have that summer where I first read them, the dreams I've had inspired by them, the moments I shared with my friends and family who got into reading them at the same time as me.

Obsessing over endings is low IQ. There’s still plenty of things to enjoy about these books and I’ve considered rereading lately. There’s too many good scenes and writing in general, I think I’ve seen the first 4 seasons more than I’ve seen the entire series. Who cares honestly endings are overrated.

It's not just about what happens but how those things are presented, and Gurm is a hack who definitely does things for shock value.

but there is no catharsis in the end, anon.
that stuff eats you from the inside. since there is no conclusion, you re still filled with all those emotions, which the story arose in you.
i know that right now more then ever before. since i rewatched part of attack on titan, only the first season because i know how much more hollow i would feel if i watch all of it
an dumb conclusion is just as bad as no conclusion, the only saving grace of snk are those last supplementary pages, which are better than the whole marley arc
i guess both snk and asoiaf have the same problem: the sudden inflation of the space and time that the action takes place in
snk went from an island to a geopolitical aberration while george has to go from an action spanning about three years in five books to suddenly accelerating the pace
i think george could pull this off because he isn t a hack like isayama, who caught lightning in a bottle and managed to turn a beautiful story into a stereotypical informational paradox causal loop, which georgie boy thinks are extremely stupid and he s right, unfortunately he has no more time and doubt he works good under pressure, especially under the inevitability of death
