All Waldunchads go to heaven

when will this fat sexy beast release his review bros?

Should we say Waldunesque or Waldunian?

>>18903881
Forgot his head

>>18903922
I've been wondering this as well.
I'm more partial to Waldunian personally, but I think Waldunesque is more popular. We should probably just commit to one.

>>18903881

>>18903891
In his latest livestream on reading critically, he says he prefers making his reviews within a week of finishing a book (He filmed his LD review 15 minutes after), and doesn't script anything. Editing is also minimal. Considering it's a very short book and he's fully aware of the demand, I expect we won't have to wait much more than 2-3 days.

if there were a book so bad it could induce suicide, this would be it

>notices your bulge
>owo what's this?

>>18903881
Can we gather all the information we have on Waldun's homosexuality?

It's really imporant in order in interpret L'Académie & ofcourse The Learned Disguise.

ACTION IS COMING

>>18904203
how do we stop him, bros?

>>18904203
I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

I'm new to the waldunverse. Is l'academie a good place to start? Anything that I should read before hand?

>>18904203
I would be somewhat surprised if his review video came out before the "official" release date of 1 September

>>18904224
You need to be well versed in Dark Academia before diving into Waldun body of work
>>18903935
Waldunian is easier to pronounce

>>18904056
The whole double rods thing didn't amount to much. It's just an awkward way of saying things that cause chaos for no real reason. When he beats down the prefect, he should have at least used two rods.

>>18904056
>her eyes landed on the bulge
oh yes, yesssss

>>18904266
Woah man no spoilers I haven't gotten to that part yet. In the dream sequence in Barnes and Noble the text subtly mentioned that he had an erection

I fail to understand why you retards are giving this talentless hack with the self-awareness of a rock any more attention, and then end up seething when the trash he publishes ends up garnering attention

>>18904224
It's about the movement. Jaidyn is the beating heart. Jay is the body. Waldun is the mind.

It all runs painfully deep.

Getting to know Waldun (MIND):
The lack of self-awareness. The repressed homosexuality His early masterpiece, The Learned Disguise, is the only way in. However, you can start your journey into this young man via his fashion advice as inspired by his daddy issues (trying to please him but realizing he must make his own path to self-discovery): https://youtu.be/TyTh_F0rc-A

>>18903927
Unironically filtered by Waldun.

>>18904326
For funsies
>>18904372
Isn´t the sirs from a paki character or something like that.

Literally a shill thread.

>>18904388
Good. Waldun should be shilled.

>>18904203
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>18903881
a little early budi

>>18904203

>>18904382
Surely you wouldn't just post in this thread without having finished reading Waldun's stunning new entry in the young adult dystopia genre?

>>18903881
>that image
Kek. Only true Waldunians will understand the reference

>>18904119
Those who've recognized the repressed homosexuality in his work are few and far between (more people post about Ila Rose than they do about the gay subtext in his books). It's a shame because that area of his work is as unintentional as it is interesting (the autobiographical LARPing of the Beats having unintended ironic consequences). >>18897581


>daddy issues (centred around a strong/discerning father figure)
>preoccupation with aesthetics (notably fashion)
>refering to himself as "closeted"
>calling himself/Jay a "couple"
>falling out with the lesbo-archetype that is Saskia
>his inoffensive, almost asexual, sexual aura attracting the type of females easily associated with fag-haggary.
>refering to himself as "voluntarily celibate" before erasing that label in favor of an obvious beard (Ila Rose)

On top of all that you have the writing itself. This was meant as a joke (>>18897588) but there are plenty of other examples of it.

You can argue that it's all circumstantial but the evidence is in no way superficial. As said, it makes his writing genuinely interesting (so bad it's good usually has to have a level of sincerity to work--Waldun's is just unintentional and comes out via his repressed homosexuality).

>That's when he realized, Academia was rather dark here in L'adademie.
He can't be fucking serious.

>>18904119
>>18904594
Work in progress.

bros... i love the waldunian ellipsis...

>>18904765
Waldun's comma usage in this book still utterly amazes me
>How do you write and, make the sceneries so, real?
What the fuck is the point of those two commas?

>>18904795
it denotes a pause in speech
clearly his radical style was too much for you to handle

>>18904795
those are most likely some misused parenthetical commas. he probably wanted to write something like "how do you write, and make the sceneries, so real", but that doesn't make much sense either.

What if Waldun was a girl.
Who would still like her?

>>18904765
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWe4xi5jsQM
Now read Timur in Dobby's voice

>>18904203
He's made it further than I managed.

>>18904809
It would need to be rewritten. Something like:

"...How? How do you write these scenes, these sequences of words, so that they seem so...so real?" I can almost-- It's as if I can see it all in front of me! Your words, Waldun-sama...I kneel!"

>>18904952
and who are you?

>>18904968
Why, I'm anon.

>>18904961
Sir, why are we still here? Just to read? The scenes you've written... the sequences of words... they seem so real. It's like they're all still in front of me. You feel it too, don't you sir?

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>18905070

>>18905076
is it really that small?

>>18905070
he's more enamoured by this book than ilya rose herself, waldun's muse

I feel nervous for Waldun. That mean fatso better not be overly unkind. Give him a 7/10 at least.

>>18905106
I want KD to tear him a new bussy

why would i respect this fat fucks opinion when he prefers 3DPD?

>>18905106
it'll be interesting to see if he agrees with /lit/'s view that l'académie is, for all its chintzy sheen, a worse work of art than the cringeworthy but candid learned disguise, or if he falls for the sleekness and gives it a higher rating because waldun recruited an army of editors to make sure he didn't spell van gogh wrong this time

it's all a bit pinkerton/green album if you know what i mean

>>18905151
yeah this is like the ultimate pseud test
what if waldun planned this all along as an artistic trap with which to ensnare KDBooks and out him as the poseur he really is?

Holy fuck.
I cannot describe how small this fucking looks when I'm currently reading Anna Karenina.

It's amazing that Waldun managed to put such an incredible story in such little space.

Generational.

>>18905190
I know that feel. Everything i saw after I read Infinite Jest seemed like it was for the short sighted

>>18905168
turning the page takes longer than reading it...

>>18905168
waldun amateurishly typesetting the book in the blandest of serifs, times new roman, is not only a sly meta-comment on the stifling conformity of the real-life education system he is kicking against, but also invites the reader to experience firsthand the crushing drabness of l'académie

>>18904355
Just watched all these. Where do I go next? Are there any QT femoids in the waldunosphere?

>>18905274

Deep dive into their instas and twitters. Jaidyn released his first video on YouTube yesterday (That copypasta was made before that and I didn't include it because it isn't as entertaining as what's already there).

Here's a link to Waldun's short stories: https://rcwaldun.com/blog

He's a podcast they did with some unemployed guy they met: https://youtu.be/KjFCVxaQeus

yo has this guy really been writing for 2 years already?
like serious?

Waldunbros, has there been any confirmation regarding this >>>18866936 post?
Allegedly she was in Melbourne a few months ago, so the timeline adds up.

Just made an insta and booked a plane to melburn. See you later losers, I'm getting in on this movement early

Wally is finally getting the respect he deserves. Good work comfy anon, here's to you

>>18903922
Waldunese

>>18903922
-esque is french and, therefore, more waldunesque

>>18905583
Not the same anon. The narrative around his "partner" is unironically extremely compelling to me. There are two possibilities here- either this is an old relationship or a new one.
>evidence for it being more long term
L'Acadamie is dedicated to Ila, and the character of Ada plus certain plot points are too integral to him having a gf now for him to have made them up. Wu simply doesn't have the imagination for these things.
>evidence for it being a newer relationship
If the relationship had started over a year ago, since before writing of L'Acadamie began, there's no way Robin wouldn't have mentioned it in some capacity in his short story writing, essaying, or videos. Something just doesn't add up. Which leads me to believe...
>she isn't his gf
My fellow Waldun scholars, thank you for gathering here with me today as I posit this new theory, which lines up quite well with the HH >>18905579. Ila Rose is a patsy, not really his "gf" in any sense of the term that we know. He refers to her as his "partner" in the video, they live in different cities, maybe they haven't even consummated their relationship. Maybe, I think, she's more of a "female friend" a la Saskia, but the relationship is more nebulous. He might be mining her for romantic inspiration, but that's the extent. Which is why, I think, the anon claiming to have fucked her actually has some credibility. Robin is gay, she visits Robin, they don't have sex, she takes to tinder, and our friend in the other thread... well. The issue is proof, damned proof! All evidence so far is completely circumstantial.

People in Waldun's inner circle, I know you're lurking. Please, give us a sign.

>Captcha: 8NTRD

Speaking of french, does he speak any other language? I remember seeing a passage in french in The Learned Disguise and, in classic Waldun fashion, it was grammatically incorrect.

kek the only ones to have finished the book are anons
I sure hope he appreciates us!

>>18905809
>and, in classic Waldun fashion, it was grammatically incorrect.

based

>>18905809
Based on his accent he probably speaks Mandarin or Cantonese, although he's never shown it on camera

>>18905897
cantonese since he's a hong kong chink

the innuendos are endless here. as far as im concerned the HH is proven

>>18905809
he botched his german too and it was literally a 4-word sentence

>>18904056

>>18905933

>>18905955
If it's not intentional I don't know how he can survive daily life. Ghets to gehts is gonig to going.

>>18905913
how do we know he's from Hong Kong

>>18905974
Doing two dudes at the same time.

>>18905897
He really seems to avoid acknowledging that. Whole video on learning a second language (French) and he never mentions learning English. At one point he talks about accent in a second language, how that's relevant for him, then follows it with
>Quand je parle français, j'ai juste un petit peu accent américain
Conceivably he could have grown up bilingual or gone to an English language school, but people who do that usually have a much more native sounding accent.

>>18906016
You can see here at ~1:25 where he admits that English is his second language. He has since deleted this video from the internet

>>18905974
In a physics experiment double rods conform to a nonuniform range of motion

>>18906091
isn't the correct term non-periodic? I suppose it's Waldunesque to get that wrong

>>18906114
Waldun didn't get it wrong, the physicist got it wrong as double rods mess with their knowledge

>>18906140
fuck, that actually makes sense. How would he know the correct term? It's in books, and he learned by headphones. I kneel at Waldun's genius

Can we expect this retard to read L'adadémie?

>>18906059
You wouldn't happen to have a link to your entire collection of his deleted videos would you?

>>18906059
I don't understand why he doesn't play this up more instead of trying to hide it

>>18906169
I do happen to have such a link. I wonder if I should dump my entire Waldun video collection into the folder? or just keep it as his rare videos folder

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XyFx3dnWOd6nTh0wb4hYTS0RV5OSSLNI

How to read this scene? Does it disprove or support the homosexuality theory?
Is Eddington's attention due to her suggesting that she would hold his rod in her hand? Or does he simply wish that he too could grasp a rod firmly in his hands?
Does the rod going into her pocket insinuate sexual intercourse? Or subtly reveal that she's an MtF packing a rod?

>>18906172
all his literary heroes are white
would YOU want to be a bugman?

>>18906193
>Or subtly reveal that she's an MtF packing a rod?
god i wish

>>18906189
Thanks mate, greatly appreciated.
I still notice him deleting videos, so your folder might keep growing if you keep it just for the rare ones.

>>18906200
Yes but he could explore Cantonese classics in a way westerners could appreciate. Stuff we have no chance of reading, won't be translated, etc.

>>18906200
I wouldn't go as far as I want to be Asian, but if I already were Asian, I would accept it, I wouldn't cosplay as a white person for my entire life. I do understand why Waldun struggles with it though, Asian literature and culture in the west is a sad lot
> Joy Luck Club
> Madame Butterfly
> ....?

>>18906213
j...Jin Yong?

>>18906189
Do you youtube-dl all his vids?

>>18906217
I said Asian literature in the west, Jin Yong was straight up Asian and wrote in Asia. Otherwise I would've include Red Sorghum, Journey to the West, Water Margin, Dream in the Red Chambers

>>18906193
The crux of this passage is actually the end where Eddington twirls his spoon in the hot chocolate. It is very subtly indicative of him wanting to twirl HIS spoon in another man's hot chocolate (being, of course, innuendo for the filled anus of another male)

>>18906213
There's a rather big one you're missing.

>>18906230
mwaaaaaaah the cringe

>>18906218
not all of them sadly. I first started when I randomly tested out my Youtube downloader on his Learned Disguise video on a /lit/ thread and later found out that he deleted the entire video out of embarrassment. After that, I tried to regularly download videos in case he deleted them, which turned out to be the case

>>18906301
Don't throw pearls before swine. Such knowledge must only be given to initiates in Waldunism.

>>18906301
he's very sensitive about those sorts of things. He once got someone banned from Instagram for sending him a pic of his cum tribute

everyone says sir in L'Academie, but in Learned Disguise, it was only Timur. I'm unclear as to what race Timur is. Is he white but has a Turkish/central Asian name? He is hunchback, so is he modeled after Igor of the Universal monster movies? I don't think Waldun is aware of the servile Indian servant of colonial British literature so I don't know why Timur is so ingratiating and submissive and calls everyone sir

>>18906678
An example of how bad a book can be despite the authors background in literature. The pacing was terrible, the prose didn't flow, the characters were bland and the story was a copy of 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. Read it for the lit memes only or if you want to torcher yourself.

Other anons have analysed it more; I need to sleep on the book as it is 3am for me.

>the prose didn't flow

>>18905579
He refers to himself as "closeted" multiple times in that interview.
>>18905786
https://rcwaldun.com/blog/7-weird-things-i-noticed-lately (He talks about dating apps, asking for relationship advice, and comments on male profile pictures).

Ila is Waldun's beard. It's easy to pick up on and hardly anyone has noticed it yet (i.e. there's more attention given to making fun of his faulty masculinity along the line of 'haha he's an incel'). Anyone who has experience with someone who was closeted can easily pick up on the flavor of their relationship.

Anyway, I honestly think it makes his writing genuinely interesting. He's LARPing beat poets and doesn't realize the subtext of his writing says a lot about him that he hasn't even accepted within himself. It's speculation, but I think he'll probably come out by the time he reaches his mid-20s).

>>18906702
> Anyone who has experience with someone who was closeted can easily pick up on the flavor of their relationship.
What are the characteristics of a closeted homosexual relationship? I've only known of one closeted guy from ages 13-15 but he came out in high school

What does Walden care he has over 190k subs to this guy 3k and their only overlap is us and the sort of white woman who doesn’t care about the quality of books as long as she can “ Stan the author”.

>>18906818

Even in a military context, it is almost unheard of to use 'sir' as a form of address. It is a totally obsolete word in this country. The idea that one would call a teacher or peer 'sir' is absurd. If you were seen or heard to be doing such a kind of thing, you would be ridiculed as a lickspittle and a wimp.

>>18907023
you're not a writer.

>>18906818
Never. At least not since high school where this particularly anal teacher insisted on it.

Waldunian ... I see you've already adapted his proses

>>18907034
I am and I understand the absolute terror of putting your stuff out there (even to your own family).
But I also think that waldens fan base will eat up just about anything with the label dark academia on it and Walden could pretty easily just pass KDs review off with “haters gonna hate” to his brain dead viewers.

>>18906972
This fat welsh dork is obviously excited because his most viewed video is a Waldun vid and he finally has an excuse to do it again.

Also if you look in his comment section you will see that the vast majority of his viewers are teenagers.

>>18907288
his point was that waldun doesn't need to change his style if he doesn't want to, waldun already has a base of dedicated fans. you act like acknowledging the privilege of bigger creators is an ad hominem when the truth is that the meaning of his comment flew over your head and you're grasping at straws

>>18904355

Is he writing this way as a joke?

>>18907413
He's writing with purpose

He's pretentious. He lacks self awareness. But that's normal at his age.

He's got some talent though, he's got a fan base, he's got a book published.

I'd say even if these two books are trash, he may well write a very good book in the next few years.

>>18907429
Genuinely hope we'll see the day when "The Learned Disguise" first editions are a valuable collector's item.

>>18907429
1)hes more aware than you were at his age
2)hes got more talent than you had at his age
3)hes already written 2 successful novels; they are not trash

>>18907429
describe how you feel this man has talent?

>>18907449
not that anon, how old is he?

>>18907451
He managed to slur out 2 full books in his second language. That's genuinely not bad going despite their sub par quality.

>>18907451
Read two of his short stories, weren't too bad.

>>18907449
I wrote 'if'. Never claimed to have been more self aware.

>>18907490
weren't too bad.
anon, you know he's been writing for 7 years, right?

>>18907236
he is literally me

>>18907413
he is showing he can do it

>>18907515
No I actually discovered 4chan lit roughly 1 hour ago and with it this Asian Australian boy/man aspiring writer

I'm not going to say something bad about him. He's pretentious. He's cringe. But I was too not too long ago, and in a year I'll look back again and say something similar.

In short I give him the benefit of doubt.

And considering that at just 20 he's already got almost 200k subscribers on YouTube I'd say he's successful. He's certainly courageous for putting himself out there.

>>18907429
>He's pretentious. He lacks self awareness. But that's normal at his age.

>>18907749
It didn't click for me either untill I read The Learned Disguise. Then I understood. Waldun is truly the writer of late postmodernism, of the death of literature; when all that matters is appearance and empty aesthetic posturing. Intentionally or not, Waldun captures this like no one else. He will be studied as the writer of the beatnik generation.

>>18908071
I feel like that's unrealistic but I've never used a professional editor, I'll need someone who has more experience with that chime in

>>18908139
>It's unrealistic for a plumber to fix your toilet completely. His job is to mostly fix it, but if it still doesn't flush, that's understandable

>>18907554

embarrassingly retarded

>>18908139
if it's a professional then yeah, that is literally his job
we're talking about waldun though so all these "editors" are probably just jaydin and some of his other friends claiming that they're actual editors or something

>>18908211
Jaidyn is an editor and has credits. Also, spell his name correctly please--IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE BABY.

>>18908249
He mentions the murdered baby thing in hus "leaving home" video too. He thinks that it makes his tragic poet backstory more interesting.

I have a soft spot for Jaidyn desu. The purest of the lot.

I tried to shitpost on his latest video but it got deleted almost instantly. Waldun's definitely aware of us, and could even browsing this thread right now!

>>18908265
The cool thing to do would be to accept us "Waldunchads" into his fanbase and have a good laugh with us. The closeted homosexual thing would be to mostly ignore us save for a slight nod to our infatuation for the sake of personal credibility and a contrived idea of a life lesson.

>>18908265
Waldun here, yes I am, browsing this thread. Fk, you guys...

>>18903881
Looks like we're headed for a 6th thread OP!!!

>>18907208
Roll. You must do it on the book itself

>>18908390
Stop using Ila as a beard. Set her free; it's the right thing to do. Also, give up on Jay--other Jai will welcome you with open arms and it will be better for your friendship.

>>18908405
Someone already got trips...OP never delivers.

>>18908390
For some reason I feel like Waldun wouldn't understand the new captcha

I'm so upset that guy didn't deliver with the cum tribute

>>18907085
But that's the thing about criticism, it lingers, it could make you a better writer, but mostly it just hurts initially.
Why do you think he tried to remove 'The Learned Disguise'? because of too much fanfare resulting in a sudden lapse of self-doubt?
Nope, some people shat on it, (one of which is this fat Welsh kike)
The thing is, subjective criticism can be brushed asunder, because their are brainless masses gobbling your knob.
Yet this isn't the main point of critique. Sure, some of us thinks he should try to write about something else than his boring life, try that gay-scene I hear it's lucrative.
Nope, this fucker tried to pass of a badly written, strongly edited yet lacking in certain parts ripoff that doesn't make any narrative sense
when you think about all of the dystopian elements put together.
Muh vibes over any clarity of ideas, just mostly hanging around in the lounge areas of would be bookstores.

And yeah, he could just pass his review of my simply ignoring that fat kike, but for him it isn't about the money, it's about how he's perceived.
When his intellect is attacked, it must feel as you can imagine horribly.
There is also a screencap of his discord out their discussing his first book, and how some guys from 4chan wrote mean criticism.

>>18908704
>blah blah blah
Learn to use fewer words.

>>18908265
You got filtered because you included a link in your comment.
Regardless, he does know about us because he indrecitly responded to various /lit/ threads last year, and my comment acknowledging it is still there on his video.

>>18908265
>>18908834
yeah probably this. I have a youtube channel and Google automatically flags and removes comments with links. It also does the same for comments that it thinks are "bad" like if you say fuck or shit. It does this even if you put your channel on "allow all comments" setting, and Waldun probably put his channel on some sort of no-bad words in comments allowed setting

>>18908882
YouTube also shadowbans comments that mention anything about black crime statistics.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't "s'weet" simply wrong? Waldun isn't replacing anything in the word, just adding an apostrophe to make it look like the speaker is of a foreign accent.

>>18909044
My guess is that Waldun uses apostrophes the same way he uses commas, to indicate a pause in speech. S'weet is thus pronounced suh-weet, like that guy in How I Met Your Mother pauses when he says Legen -- wait for it -- DARY

>>18907554
this was hilarious. thank u

what a little maggot. i cant support people who do this shit.

I'm worried that KDBooks will not be kind to Waldun. He doesn't like him the way that we do

>>18909376
KDbooks is the Saturnian figure Waldun needs

>>18909376
>He doesn't like him the way that we do
I think most of his frustration with tld came from the fact he expected more from a guy who has a literature channel
I get a strong feeling he fell for the meme only to realize when reading the book that Waldun is just full of shit, talentless, and utterly lacking in self-awareness
Honestly this review is really a wild card. The new book clearly still isn't anywhere near passable, so he could really destroy waldun in a mean spirited way since he has not improved one bit, or just mock him relentlessly like we are doing here

What are the chances he doesnt completely shit on Waldun because he would feel bad about it?

Im afraid he will go too easy on him.

>>18909427
yeah and cos of the viewership bump
he's definitely no longer unbiased

>>18907888
OH SHIT

>>18909427
Pretty high I’m thinking he will spend loads of time talking about what waldun did well with some lukewarm criticism so as not to offend waldun and his fans so much.
He will probably give it a 3 or 4 out of ten and say something “a definite improvement”.

>>18909469
Little does he know that Learned Disguise was actually the superior Waldunian book

Tldr on why /lit/ is talking about this?

>>18909403
Did anyone who wasn't a larping dark academia zoomer take Waldun seriously? I think KD was just being nice to soften the blow.

>>18909427
>>18909469
Yeah, he does seem like he doesn't want to completely destroy any hope Waldun has but at the same time, his selfie with the book and his comments on goodreads make it seem like he can't wait to tear into it.

>>18909524
Because Waldun is /lit/'s little brother and we must protect him

>>18909524
We're at the start of a new literary movement

This group of neo beat young guns will be taking over the world, why should /lit/ not pay attention?

Need to hear thoughts on my review. Nothing but honestly please. 1/2


L’academie is a dystopian novel by the YouTube star R.C.Waldun. The story is about Eddington, a student at L’academie, who realises that not everything is as it seems. He lives in an authoritarian regime where students learn information passively through a device that resembles earbuds. All books are banned and the streets are patrolled by prefects. People are prohibited to do anything apart from commuting between the academy and their home, except to visit a cafe.

Further retelling of the story needn’t be done for it mostly copies that of Fahrenheit 451 with several references to 1984. What makes Waldun’s book stand out among them however, is that it raises many basic questions that go unanswered. Why is the walled off city of District-E a haven in a wasteland? What happened to the rest of the world? How did the Regime become so powerful in such a short time? Why can only so few people “really think” when they had been doing so for a long time? And finally, how does the Regime sustain itself financially? All of these questions suggest that not enough time was spent in the planning stage of the novel.

The characters are distinguished by the colour of blazer they were. However, there are rogues living in District-E who don’t wear a blazer and are successfully hiding from the prefects, despite the total surveillance. Each person speaks the same way and all that differentiates one character from another is some habit, for example, Ed’s right hand trembles when he is nervous, Fred speaks with an accent, the older rogues smoke cigarettes, the man of history is always talkative etc. While it may seem that the aforementioned differences establish a clear line between each person in the book, that unfortunately is not the case.

2/2

The pacing of the novel is simply bad. There are passages where four pages describe a short dream sequence and only one and a half describe leaving L’academie, meeting a rogue, following him, losing and finding him, climbing up on a rooftop, talking and then running from the prefects. It must be said that often times the jump in time between paragraphs following one another is quite large and makes the reader confused.

As the book is a dystopian novel with an aim to induce thought in the reader, it is not a light read. However, it doesn’t make up for it in any way. What you will consume are 298 unhappy pages, from which you will gain nothing.

The prose used in L’academie is subpar. The attention is not distributed equally between miscellaneous facts and key events. The building of the academy is described in one sentence, yet the burning of the cigarette coal is described in detail multiple time throughout the book. On the whole, the prose resembles that of a light novel.

Some words must be said about the author himself. One might find themselves surprised to find out that this isn’t Waldun’s first work. What is more, he is a literature student, avid reader and a booktuber posting guides on how to enjoy difficult books. L’academie was apparently in the works for two years, edited by a team of editors, and the final result of five drafts.

The best way I can conclude this review is by sketching the character of Waldun. His work was supposed to be released on September 1st but he messed up the amazon listing and put the paperback up for sale two weeks prior while the ebook will only be released on the original date. In his video about the book, he defended himself by saying that it was a special promotion for amazon members. He has also pulled his first book, The Learned Disguise, from amazon and his own website but not from the barnes and noble online store.

Big thanks to the anon who scanned the book shortly after the botched launch.
