Drawing of a furry faced, spindly creature with big ears and sack like clothing and in a tool/book belt. Because everyone should have a book belt for emergency books :)

Another older review, and I have to say I agree, what's better than "some good old cynicism and humour

The Last Philosopher, an epic fantasy has mastered all of the essentials of the genre. The worldbuilding is incredible. And might I say I was very excited to see maps included in the chapters. Our world is important as it shapes not only the plot but the characters as well. I get the sense that in this first installment we are getting the tip of the massive iceberg behind the world of Huom. Something that you did incredibly well with was your characterization. Your characterization in this story was absolutely incredible. You showed us stellar characterization through actions and the inner thoughts of the characters themselves. Overall, this was a refreshing unique take on fantasy! A very engaging read. The pacing is a little slow but the pay-off and reward is so worth it in the end. And the plot has so much potential going forward. There is so much clever wit in this story as well which | thoroughly enjoyed! Nothing like some good old cynicism and humor!

One of these is better than the others

by
Meme compairing three Fantasy writers worldbuilding: J.K Rowling: Only start creating a lore after you already finished half of the series and keep adding stuff a decade after finishing it G.R.R Martin: Steal 90% of your deep lore from real life history and other authors to fill out your world map J.R.R Tolkien: Create an entire universe with a bloody, theological history with of hundreds of characters and dozens of devastating wars, then write a childrens book in it

One of these is better than the others... you know the one I mean 😁

It's almost like publishers don't know the Spice of Life when they see it 😜😂

Two panel meme of a person being uplifted by an angel. Panel one: Frank Herbert getting rejected by every credible publisher. Panel two: A company that specializes in car repair manuals thinking his story about giant worms and space drugs is kinda neat.

A nice older review of my fantasy story The Last Philosopher from a non-fantasy reader 😊

by
My overall impression of "The Last Philosopher" was not what I had expected it to be. As previously mentioned, Fantasy is not my go-to genre. So, going into this story, I was not entirely sure what to expect. Was this story going to be as painfully slow as what "The Hobbit" was? Or was this one of those rare times where I actually found myself enjoying a story of the Fantasy genre? I even enjoyed looking at the pictures that were added to each chapter. "The Last Philosopher" is a story I would recommend to other readers on here to go read and share with their friends, relatives, frenemies, or anyone that could use a good read. Even if you are like me and have a specific genre you are drawn to, I would recommend you give "The Last Philosopher" a try. I found myself to be progressively more interested as the chapters continued. East really does do well with descriptions of chapters without there being much dialogue included.

Completly misunderstanding how society works is what tech bros do best!

Drawing of a tech bro being interviewed by the standard tech bro sychophant. Tech bro: “Philip K. Dick. Ray Bradbury. Like so many others in tech, I draw inspiration from completely misunderstanding those authors.”
