How do I break out of those weird tropes but still write something with gnomes and shit? What does it look like when wizards control the means of production?

    The main thing I know about the Wheel of Time is that it's super gender essentialist in a way that's impossible to ignore, which is enough to make me not want to read it.

      Good call. I got into them before I developed any sort of analytical capacity to recognize horseshit, but I dropped off in the middle of the series because damn they were not very good and Robert Jordan was a clearly a very trad-horny man.

        I still haven't haha and would love to know more of your thoughts on what makes the series bad if you don't mind.
