honestly Nolan saying “Read my books!” caught me off guard and i burst out laughing

"Give them 5 stars on Goodreads Mark! Some people didn't really get it and started review bombing them! Admittedly, the whole massacre thing didn't help but still, pulp Sci fi deserves an audience!"

[u/Smash_Z → u/mmcintoshmerc_88]

I was wondering if some of Nolan's Viltrumite beliefs might have subtly seeped into his writings and led to certain tropes that modern critics might find distasteful.

One of them was called "Savage Planet, Savage Beasts" and I wonder what critics had to say about that lol.

"Amazing worldbuilding from Nolan Grayson, as always. The alien worlds and species he comes up with are always so creative and immersive. Once again, however, he struggles with his protagonist, another physically perfect specimen with little to root for. Also, the reoccurring rhetoric of the alien people as 'savages' and 'inferior' is almost problematic in places. 3/5"

Imagine Nolan getting canceled or something lol

I couldn’t find the author on the promo photos but who was the author of those books, Nolan (supposedly writing fiction books) or Omni-Man (meaning, books were more auto-biographical)?

[u/Standard_Original_85 → u/fschu_fosho]

Nolan IIRC.

I thought Nolan was a travel author since he could review cities and learn about culture while scoping out their strengths and weaknesses for Viltrum.
