I myself am not offended by your opinion or the opposing opinions presented. I like reading the blogposts / reddit comments of others’ thoughts/theories about the direction PB has gone. It makes sense. While I like AtV, I thought the pacing was horrible in the pre-hiatus chapters and rushed in the post-hiatus ones and they could’ve done better; but as it is, I understand it bombed and was expensive to make. I keep staring at the characters, trying to see if any of them are “reused” (except for the Celd) which might’ve cut down on costs (like “let’s give Daniel blue skin and call him an ocampa!” but nope). I know many players on the wiki don’t like RoD, but it has a following on other platforms (like Facebook) and it must’ve done well to warrant a 2nd book.

I know it’s all a numbers game to them (just as it is to most companies) but I hope they realize for every X number of such-and-such books, they should release Y number of better-quality books to keep the older (in terms of how long they’ve been playing; as well as the ones with more disposable income) users who are not playing for just sex/romance.
