Anyhow even that idea that there are there are writers who regurgitate words bugs me. Just read the first book and decide if you like it well enough to continue. That's 100x more efficient than asking for recommendations...
You may not like something, but to say you know writer's motivation for writing something in some particular way is silly.

A common criticism amongst all the writers mentioned is that these individual series go on....and on....and on, and that some should have been terminated earlier. Also, that they are unduly [unnecessarily?] complicated.
When I stop and think about it rationally, I can't help but laugh to think that some of these writers have 15 to 20 and more volumes in a series.
I Do find this somewhat funny.
If you wish to examine the height of diarrhea[ic] madness, look toward Kenneth Bulmer's series of Dray Prescott. Am I the only one who thinks 50+ volumes in a Fantasy series is a bit on the ludicrous side?
