The man promised a seven book series and has failed to finish it. Why are fans not "entitled" to what they were promised?

We're "entitled" to have opinions about people, and if people think he's being lazy or poor work we're "entitled" to think that.
Just how like you're "entitled" to also have an opinion about such people.

IDC about GRRM, just to be clear. I also don't care about his books. I have no stake in this.

Youre arguing with a 7 day old alt with almost 150 posts.

Hes just trolling, just ignore him and move on.

Same to above post.

To be a king

Robert Baratheon was his self insert character.

Dude achieved his success and now just sits around being fat and going to conventions and festivals to bask in his fame and glory.

They're entitled to what he releases. That's it. He has every right to stop writing it if and when he chooses.

Calling him lazy is even dumber, he does tons of work, just not on what YOU want him to work on.

I don't follow this series but it makes me think of what happened with Berserk.
A long wait and hostility is usually enough to make me walk off and go find another series to focus on though.

It sadly happens with a lot of franchises, this one is just one of the few where the people aren't shouted down because of the length of time.

Pretty sure Kentaro Miura said the same thing
I think Miura legit wrote himself into a corner, and made Griffith way too powerful to believably have Guts beat him

Plus the art was incredibly detailed and he refused to compromise on it, and to be fair I'd prefer the series not have an ending to it going down the shitter

Who do you think'll finish the series after Grr dies? I hope they don't let the writers from that awful HBO adaptation anywhere near it.

Nobody will, and nobody should. The incomplete series should stand as a testament to Martin's laziness. Let that be his legacy.

Yes, the guy so lazy he's got maybe a dozen projects going at any given time.

Then I'm sure he won't mind if we all just collectively remember that his main project remained forever incomplete because he was off doing other things.

EDIT: plus, you know, for someone "not lazy" it's awfully suspicious that he had to ask Stephen King how he manages to finish projects and when faced with the advice to treat his writing like an actual job he remained shocked that anyone could have the rigor to work EVERY day.

He's not entitled to finish it on any timeframe, or at all.

Possible. Or he's lost interest after the toxic fanbase drained him. Probably a mixture of both, tbqh.

It sounds like it's less "can't be finished" and more that he's lost interest in writing it, which is honestly fair. I do wish he would be honest with it, but doesn't change that he isn't obligated to write anything he doesn't want to.


Maybe general "can't" is the wrong word but I do think he's expanded things way too much to finish the series in another two books like he'd wanted to.

Plot knots were what took book 5 so long to come out and those situations only got worse after that. I do think he wants to finish them just its harder and harder for him to fit all the pieces into place
