Score

If I'm reading the criteria right you just want the same books listed in every other scifi book list. Boring :(

Not enough votes or books have yet been added for the list to properly work. The idea is to have the best books in one list. Anyway, i checked your shelf and I don't think you have read a single book on this list, so I beg you not condemn it.

The idea behind any list is to have a guide or recommendation tool for further reading. For example, a reader who have read and enjoyed books highly rated on the list can increase the probability to enjoy another highly rated book on the list.

Moreover, I could not find any fantasy&scifi list that has made specific inclusion criteria. While there are many exceptions, most everyone can agree that there is a distinction between what guys and girls prefer to read. This list is targeted to those who enjoyed fantasy written for a male audience. Excluding too slow pacing fantasy like Tigana or to simple minded fantasy like sword of shannara.

16. For the Empire's Throne by C.V. Nór (Self promotion & The person adding the book and up-voting it is the arc distributor of the book )

* It is understandable that lists like these are effective tools for self-promotion as self-published authors. However, self-promotion is not well tolerated on "best of" type lists. More info can be found at:

People are bloody well shameless for Christ sakes.

Thanks for the list. It's great to see a male based list and not some other junk book list littered with progressive garbage.

How is wheel of time on this list. There are 3x as many female charaters as male and its the very playbook for toxic modern feminism. Man bad women good. Man power must be removed and they must be emasculated , sorry gentled. Women must rule men. I am an avid reader and had to force myself to the end of this trash.
