There's also that Paolini grew up as the sheltered and home schooled, nerdy kid of rich parents. The idea of having a telepathic best friend that's always with you and super powerful might have been attractive to him. It apparently was to many of his young readers.
I think Paolini is a bit of a tragic figure actually. He grew up isolated and then at 19 was paraded around the media as a supposed prodigy where everyone heaped praise on him. I don't even think he means it with arrogance when he says of himself that he's as good as "Tolkien at his best". That's just what he's told, and he is too clueless to realize this could be a controversial statement.

Yes, it's seething jealousy. The first Epistle
>>96669455 spells it out pretty clearly, even if he denies it. That epistler guy is still around btw and hating on Paolini more than 20 years after the release of Eragon.

Yeah, it's tranny central over there. I had the flu this past week and spent my time lying in bed browsing on there for a bit. Paolini seems pretty cringe desu, but those guys are retards too.
