I'm not going to touch Hamlet or War And Peace.
But I will extend the EXACT same criticism to LOTR as I do to ASOIAF. Harry Potter, meh. That's a weak criticsm when there is an entire world of muggles making food and Wizards with near incomprehensible wealth and power, but LOTR and ASOIAF have very similar issues, probably more pronounced in LOTR.
And Hunting and Fishing? Hunting and Fishing?!
This isn't Gary Paulsen's Hatchet here mate. This is epic high-fantasy. If you're gonna spend 2,000 words describing the differences in army standards and courses at a feast, gimme one chapter about the plight of the farmer, stressed beyond means by a demanding lord who is making money hand over fist. It's got to be more compelling than whatever bullcrap Bran is up to when he's turned into half a [dang]ed tree.
And Martin attempts to tackle the issue in part by multiple times describing the famine in the cities for all the refugees who have come for safety from those rampaging raping murdering armies.
And he goes to absurd lengths to describe how hard it is to get to the keep in the Eyrie, the nigh unassailable stronghold, but how the hell do they get eggs and crap up there? The same way? One basket at a time? Come on. It's dumb.
