I am a fan of King's work but the more I read him the more I dislike the novels. The majority of them have really bad endings that I would say ruin the stories, a lot of wall of text to say something irrelevant or that you could have say with less words. Characters are often very, very similar between stories to the point that they have the same job, wear the same shirts and talk similar. The worst part is that most of these stories are absolutely irrelevant or unbelivable. His dark tower series has very three books (2-3-4) but after that is just fanfiction level and he just re-uses characters and situations we already read while also putting himself into the saga which is the most egocentrical shit i have ever read. I read Joyland a while ago and I literally can't remember almost anything. King has some wonderful books and stories that are part of my life and are some of my favorites ever like IT or Misery, but the dude writes a lot and most of it is the equivalent of a McDonald, I really belive you can't put quality when you release a book or more a year for this long.
