Seriously.

Everyone should just read Malazan if you want to read a gritty fantasy series. I'm about to reread it for a third time to feel better.
I started that, the first one was kind of confusing to me so I need to re-read it, but right now I'm reading uh, something or other Alera. I just blanked on the name.

yes! Reread it! The first book is so confusing but the rest are so much better.
Even less confusing on second read lol.

Talking about it makes me want to go read. I'm not working so why not.

I've always thought Brelig/ScoutIt was the biggest trap that brand new turkers tend to fall into. I guess it was p9r all along.
I think p9r somehow convinces turklets that they are profitable. I remember doing them till I got a rejection they wouldn't reverse. Then I was like "wait this is shit."

I read through to make sure no one made my "my dad before I was born" joke.... but this is close enough.
(and actually I was two- so you saved me for half-lying for a shitpost...)

It can be difficult at first because there's not any real setup. He kinda just throws you into this vast and complicated world and expects you to figure everything out on your own. I struggled with the first book too, but I'd say about half way through it, when I really started to get a feel for the world and the mythology behind everything, it totally sucked me in. Then by the time you get to the 2nd and 3rd books everything is just "omg amazing!"

Now of course C to the J @C to the J basically said my answer before I could post it, therfore stealing my thunder, but that is because he enjoys making me cry at 6:30 in the afternoon, forcing me to quit turking for the day and start drinking early. Excellent strategy.
When did drinking at 6:30 become early?
