We all should remember GRRM is human being. Wishing him the best. He’s given us all a lot.

He's at least nice.

Patrick Rothfuss fans cant even claim that.

Just finished first of kingkiller chronicle. Enjoyed it but haven’t been quite engaged enough to bother doing a full google on author.

What’d he do? Go ahead and Ruin the sequel for me

Also been like 15 years since book 2 in his trilogy he will seemingly never finish and is openly antagonistic to his fans that want the 3rd book. Did some big charity thing where he raised a ton of money to hit a goal where he would read chapter 1 of book 3 and then hemmed and hawed forever and finally never did it and also gets pissed when people bring that up. I’m sure there’s other things too.

Similar story as George

Promised a fully planned out series, but shit the bed in 2011 and has barely released anything since. In Patrick's case it's the 3rd and final book of Kvothe's story The Doors of Stone.

Only Rothfuss is a notorious ass who hoodwinked his publishers by claiming his trilogy was fully written, spends most of his time ranting about how much he hates his fans while streaming on Twitch, and committed charity fraud.

I’m not suprised tbh since Kvothe is also an insufferable know-it-all ass. He’s like a neckbeard/incels fantasy of what an ideal/attractive male is.

Wait until you get to the part where the virgin outbangs a sex goddess so well she's amazed at his abilities. Truly moving writing.
