Its not so much that he got paid as it is that he genuinely has no idea how to tie it all up.

Did he at least tell the show runners how it'll end?

I feel empty watching it thinking it's a fan fiction (sorry, but everyone who isn't the author is just a fan).

Just gotta realize the fact that the show is canon and the book is a half finished novelization of it.

Yeah, I think they discussed with him on how general the ending will be but they will have some freedom to fill in the blanks.

He creates new threads rather than tying up old ones. It's probably near impossible to make progress at this point

It's less of writing himself into a corner and more writing himself into the void.

Is the series more confusing than say, Harry Potter when it comes to a large number of characters? Everything that I've heard about the show and the books have made them sound overhyped and not worth reading.

They aren't overhyped. I thought the same thing until I read the books

book 4 is genuinely not worth reading, except for cersei's chapters

the rest are great

The books are not overhyped

While AFFC can be a little slow. The rest are amazing

I can't remember if it's a clash or a storm that is just amazing. Like one of the best books I ever read. The one that covers the most of the war of the five kings

It does some characters actual justice, like stannis, Jamie, and Tyrion

There's so much detail put into every page, so much foreshadowing I wouldn't be surprised if he told the ending already and we just haven't put it together

Eh, when I read it it was easy to keep up with the characters, just that years after the fact I forgot some of them.

As a reader of the books I firmly believe this is true but I can't confirm.

I've heard multiple times it has the largest cast of characters ever though.

I believe it myself. There's at least 10,000 named characters who all feel unique bar a few no name soldiers.

I think we'll see Winds of Winter at the very least. The last book seems more and more unlikely given we can expect it to take him 6-7 years to write them now.
