I really appreciate you replying to me in such detail.

Jaime is not going to SA cersei, undo all of his character growth and then die lovingly in Cersei's arms, no. This is a ridiculous and stupid undoing of his character arc. He may actually murder Cersei himself to fulfill the Valonqar prophecy (the prophecy Cersei had about being strangled by her little brother, she always assumed it to be Tyrion but she's the elder twin).

Dany will also not go mad and burn the smallfolk and be murderered by Jon. That is also ridiculous.

Jon's story will also be much different

This is enough for me. I just quickly glazed over the rest of your reply without paying too much attention to it but only because I don't wanna be too spoiled for the books 😭.

Man, this takes me back to when I was so locked in on the show when s6 aired that I was looking up fan theories and just consuming all of that kind of content. Azor Ahai, TPTWP, Night King.... fun times. Nothing has come close to that for me ever since, except maybe wheel of time a little bit. But WoT has it's flaws.

You just convinced a jaded GoT fanboi to get into the books, incompleteness notwithstanding. Thanks!

PS. Would love any recommendations for stories that are of the same quality as ASOIAF in your opinion.
