+50 The Dark One from the Wheel of Time has to be pretty dumb, or incapable of learning if he keeps losing to humans with only a few thousand years of experience to draw upon, while he has tens of thousands. amirite?

Well, Shai'tan is opposed by the creator and the Wheel. Rand Al'Thor has so much plot armor it literally bends reality around him. Not to mention the Dragon has been battling the Dark One for forever. The body of Rand may only be a couple decades, the collective training and memory of humans may only be a couple thousand years old, but the innate drive to battle evil (and win) is as old as the the Dark one himself.

I would agree with you, but he and Ba'alzamon mention multiple times that they have been fighting "countless battles". For example, I'm not that good at chess, but if I play against 30 toddlers, I would win at least 1 time. Especially since I can learn from my previous games, while they have no recollection of them.

But what if those toddlers had that Magnus Carlson guy standing over their shoulders pushing their pieces into the correct spot? Mortals are not on their own vs the dark one.

Yup I don't think I can continue. So much fluff/filler and some completely unlikable characters. Nynaeve is the worst lol.

I am glad she turns it around. Just got sick of her being an asshole to everyone for no reason. I just don't think I have the time to keep working my way through the series with how my life is right now.
