The Cartographer
World-building is king. With a streak of The Omnivore.
6% of Buds. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
A world with its own rules, history, and weather. They read the appendix. They want to know what is over the next hill.
Where it goes wrong: Lore is not story. You can spend a hundred hours somewhere and not notice nothing happened.
More about the Cartographer
- Avoids
- Thin settings and stories that could happen anywhere. If the place is a backdrop, you drift.
- How they rate
- You reward density and scale. A middling story in a rich world gets a pass; a sharp story in a cardboard one does not.
- Good company
- Genre Devotees and Thrill Chasers share your appetite for the big; Formalists share your patience for detail.
- Against the crowd
- You are generous with sprawling, uneven epics the crowd found long, and impatient with tidy chamber pieces the crowd loved.
