Do I approve of Theis being mocked and bullied to the point of never writing again? Not really, no. Can I at least understand why that happened anyways? Yeah, for sure.
Terrible writing, uninteresting characters, so many misspellings and typos, and for some reason, the writer seems to be lacking object permanence or may have alternatively had made a vow never to proof read any bit of his story, as he forgets what hand certain objects are held in or what characters have already died which makes reading and making sense of the everything quite the challenge.
Also, an author who writes “she queried breastily?” should probably just quit right then and there anyways.

A Work of ART. poor work of art, but as a 16 year old, it makes sense. between misspellings and the most Purple prose you've ever seen. A Plot that doesn't follow. Heavily inspired by its companions at the time.
This is marketed as the worst book ever written. It's essentially fanfiction written by a teenage boy about... actually what was it about. Rescuing some damsel in distress?
It was so bad that it was good. Is it the worst book ever written? Hard to say. But it's definitely in the running with a strong head start.

"The weather beaten trail wound ahead into the dust racked climes of the baren land which dominates large portions of the Norgolian empire..."
Thus begins The Eye of Argon. I don't know how I'd missed this one for so long, but poorly written... everything aside, I love seeing the influences of SFF authors in amateur works like these. A very thinly veiled Robert E. Howard knock-off, I'd highly recommend this as a curio, the backstory is just as fascinating. Long leave the king!!!

Absolutely phenomenal. My favorite book of 2022. Thank you, Péter :D
I read that the widespread mockery of this story led to the author never writing another word. I feel so damn bad about that! He was just a kid when he wrote this. And he had potential. It's a terrible story in every imaginable way, but his potential is plain to see. I read it to my life coach and she really enjoyed it.

The vile stench of the Shaman's hot fetid breath over came the nauseated female with a deep soul searing sickness, causing her to wrench her head backwards and regurgitate a slimy, orange- white stream of swelling gore over the richly woven purple robe of the enthused acolyte.
Majestic.
