look that would be fine if he hadnt strung readers along and berated anyone who asked for an update for nearly a decade

Yea give me a slew of average cookie cutter fantasy with albeit good magic systems instead of a once in life series.

​@@iandevine3063you think kingkiller is a once in a life series? Its not that good

@@JDog_Unchained I mean each book has sold more than double the amount of books the stormlight archives has, it was the late 2000s early 2010s most successful fantasy book(s), it has probably the best prose maybe second only to Tolkien in fantasy. While they may get a little bogged down with day to day activities, the overarching plot as well as the love story between kvoth and Denna is compelling. Yea I would say that a book that can totally blot out the view of fantasy readers across the world for as many years as it did is considered a once in a lifetime book ali a song of ice and fire, Harry Potter, tolkien, wheel of time and there's more. I think its numbers speak for itself, its a technical masterpiece and still very likely to be finished considering the authors age and how long the previous books have taken.

​@@iandevine3063On my second read through of king killer and just completed my second of Asoiaf and honestly, i didn't think this 8 years ago buuut George is just better in all aspects that Pat. The storylines are more compelling i think the prose is better the anxiety and anticipation for whats next are above. King killer is great and it is a once in a lifetime story but this dude is a hack as a human. George has way more reaons to not be done with his book, Pat has zero other than he doesnt have a good enough ending to live up. Hes kind of a douche honestly.

@@nicktesta20 yea I agree with pretty much all that, I like rothfuss pros more but thats it. Storm isn't just one of the best fantasy books, its one of the best books. As well as a game of thrones especially on a re read.

He has the right ideologies so its ok

​@@brasilogiatrivial8656huh?

​@@brasilogiatrivial8656this is the answer

​@@brasilogiatrivial8656Still not okay. 💀

@@xXLunatikxXlulsarcasm

It involved money is is scamming even if is charity

Well a scam would mean he knew what he was doing and meant to do it the whole time. In this case it seems he promised voice actors, but he is having problems getting the voice actors to do their part. But even then he should just say screw it ,I'll read it myself

all he had to do was read it, nobody cares about voice actors@@JustinHight-py2sw

@@JustinHight-py2swno one asked for any of it minus the chapter. Everyone just wanted the chapter nothing crazy and he still hasn’t given it to us

@@daygenhall6126 but he promised it or planned voice actors.

He’s no celebrity

@@briankregg6329Not an A-list celeb, but a smaller one

It's literally the opposite. Going from being a nobody to suddenly becoming a celebrity author fucked with his mental health.

​@@clairetellkamp6253too true.

Remember how much kvothe wanted fame and notoriety

He will never complete the story. Forget about it, there are many other great books out there, finished series. The probability of him completing it is exactly 0%

​@@ahojahojishi mean to be fair back in 2012, he said the book would release in 2023. Essentially this is still on schedule lol. Just a long schedule and i think most people forgot he said that

I'll never support this guy.

You should still read the first two books, they're very good even without the ending.

The first one is soooo good that it deserves to be read, either buying it or sailing under a black sail wink wink. But for real, that book is up there with the goats

Never thought I'd see a goggins name drop but I'm here for it

And what is that?

Eye contact? Hes on camera

He's looking at the screen. But also, eye contact and body language is not the end all be all, considering loads of people have difficulty communicating properly through body language, and loads of people are uncomfortable with eye contact

I don’t think that’s true. He’s just stuck and doesn’t know how to finish the story.

It just seems like he is very depressed and he has two young children so…

Anyone who gets published is a professional

​@@ladyvimto5546still no excuse tbh.

He's an author. Well, I am not very sure myself, but I think he has a series called the name of the wind, of which he has only written two? books and claimed (I guess) seven years ago that the third book is coming. And now he's doing everything except that.

He took a page out of Yami's How to Abridge. Gettin' lazy part is where he proceeds to publish his work at a slow pace@@gardeningwithhamzaandmuaz9385

⁠@@gardeningwithhamzaandmuaz9385 you got some of that, but not enough. His name is Patrick Rothfuss. The first book is called Name of the Wind, but the series is called the Kingkiller chronicles. He is having trouble writing/finishing the third book, because well he just is… but the scam thing isn’t really about that. It’s more about him setting a monetary goal for a charity and if the backers went past it he promised to do certain things, release a chapter etc, which when they passed the goal, he at the time didn’t deliver on all the things he promised. Possibly had mental health issues and family events. That’s not it exactly either but it closer.

A personal tragedy? Perfectly understandable that he would delay things. But has he come out and explained that to the public? If not, then he has acted incredibly irresponsible. This is a situation involving other peoples' money. He has a responsibility to be as transparent as possible. As for depression and anxiety keeping him from writing? Again, understandable. But he shouldn't have made a promise when there was even the slightest known possibility he couldn't keep it. ESPECIALLY if other peoples' money is involved. In the end, a skeptical would say he's scamming people out of money and giving a poor excuse. And with how things can be with charity scams, would you blame them?

@heyheyhey33351 Oh, I agree. There's just no sense in thinking that people have sense. Like our unreliable Rothfuss here. My guess is that he's ashamed of his damn self and can't face any of the music he's made. I was trying for another angle, is all. It sucks though. I want that 3rd book so damn bad.

Gtfo. Surely you're not this naive

the term is "naive"

Naive is an understatement he's just one of the last of Pats sycophants who still denies the blatantly obvious

@@joeryan231 yes showing some amount of compassion for another person clearly makes me a sycophant. I even said that he shouldn't have offered something he wasn't sure he could deliver but I guess some people will read/hear what they want not take things in the spirit in which they were mean. not sure why I'm wasting my time replying to someone who clearly lacks the mental capacity to understand what the previous statement was meant to convey but here we are.

compassion was for the first 5 years not a decade later@@maxsinclair787

Or maybe you didn't lose hundreds of dollars donating specifically for that chapter.....

Give up man. Rothfuss is a total scammer that'll never deliver

​@@MrNH718truth. he's like the villains in his books..

Yes

It takes 2 and a half years to copy/paste a chapter on his blog? 😂

Grand Maester Pycelle vibes

No, the first two were separate when written. He had the first two rough drafted before he published the first one, which is why he said that Wise Man's Fear would be out in 2009 and the third would follow shortly after. However, he'd underestimated how rough the rough drafts were, since he was still a novice writer, and when he started speaking with editors and publishers, he ended up going back and forth with them on book 2 until 2012. After that, everything he'd had drafted for book 3 didn't mesh with the final draft of book 2, and so he had to take the whole thing apart and try to figure out a way to finish the story, despite having accidentally written himself into a couple corners.

Derp.

Derp.

Ahhhh you must be part of that alphabet group. Did you need a towel for those tears?

Lol I gave up years ago. Sometimes I just laugh when something pops up. A shame for us readers
