its pre-tolkein fantasy

"This book really takes a jarring turn when he rescues his princess and then from that point on every single chapter is about the various reasons he finds it necessary to beat her ass with a stick"
-4chan.... why are you recommending this

Soooo... despite the reputation, I was told the 4chan lit board has some interestingly groovy titles. Once you avoid the racism. Welp, I'll try anything once.

It's full of monsters and eltrich abominations and all kinds of mysterious things left to the imagination. Also there is like a small community making fanfic about it is really good. A subgenere of "entrophic speculative fiction".
-4chan /lit/ section

Anyways the novel is a tale of a knight sent to rescue a damsel in distress written in this faux medieval prose which is absolutely wretched but you get used it to. It's also a lot of repetitious lines about drinking water out of a canteen and camping in the dust.

The idea is it's millions of years in the future and all of humanity lives in this giant metal pyramid in bottom of this enormous hole in the ground. It's beset on all sides by incomprehensible threats. It was based alot off Lord Kevin's idea that sun's burned hydrogen and oxygen to make heat and would burn out.
