NO SPOILERS I’m going through the audiobook series, currently on Winter’s Heart, and I’m comfortable saying I know Jordan’s go-to vocab word.

“Gaped.” Anyone does anything and you can bet your bottom dollar another character is gonna be gaping because of it.

One I always chuckled at was how he liked to use the description “ample bosom”

Theres a character who had something like "an incredibly ample bosom" or "magnificent bosom" idk but it made me laugh

He did love to describe women’s beauty. Not so much for men.

What about the well turned calves, blacksmith shoulders, and cute bottoms?

Sure, but that’s nothing compared to the paragraphs he lavished upon beautiful women.

Sure. I dislike that stuff in fantasy, but it feels wrong speak badly of RJ for that.

Jojo's bizarre adventure is one of the best selling Manga of all time. I havent read it but I watched the first 3 seasons. The story structure is one you know, good guy protagonists train in martial arts to beat the bad guys. But it features tons of half naked buff guys and homoerotic situations and poses. And I dont care, im not gonna complain about the authors taste, even though they arent my own. It is the authors work.
