I also don’t like Martin’s writing style. But I love the lore. I just can’t do another series. What’s one book that has the kind of worldbuilding that made us all love (and then hate the unfinished state of) A Song of Ice and Fire?

    If you only want single book entries, you probably need to go back to classic literature.
    Anything that’s good will be the victim of its own success and get more installments.

        I know good classic ones. Not anything from this century, because: capitalism.

        Edit here is some amazing ones:
        The Count of Monte Cristo — Alexandre Dumas
        Anything not just: Las Miserables from Victor Hugo
        War and Peace — Leo Tolstoy (this technically was published as several books) it is really fun!
        The Brothers Karamazov — Fyodor Dostoevsky
        The Red and the Black — Stendhal I do love this tho it has a second one.
        The Master and Margarita — Mikhail Bulgakov
        Enjoy!
