any scifi/fantasy novel/series recommendations?

"Sten" cycle by Bunch and Cole, even if just for the based afterword, but it's a good reading and its one of the most fun dunks on monarchists, it shows literally perfect immortal enlightened ruler straight from the wet dreams of r/monarchism and how horrible he fucked it up anyway. Also a lot of bashing of capitalism dystopias, american imperialism and it even have WW2 Pacific theatre in space for some reason.

Plus there is the two Scots joke being dragged over entire volume, that is significant achievement in itself.

What's your poison? Hard sci-fi? Lighter stuff?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

hard sci-fi with complex details. and i also like comedy fantasy series as well like discworld. brandon sanderson stuff is also fine with me.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Alistair Reynolds for hard sci fi. He spins a good yarn.

The Orville is good, though its a show

For books, I liked The Martian

Westworld season 1 (dont bother with the rest), if you haven't watched it.

Mushoku tensei, best fantasy worldbuilding i've seen on anime. It also started the infamous isekai genre.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

fair warning: Mushoku Tensei has a mentally-40-years-old-but-physically-13 MC in a very questionable relationship with a minor

While true, the point of the series is about an resentful incel growing as a person through the second chance he was given in the other world.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

sure, it's just a warning for those who are very uncomfortable with things like that
