I enjoyed it when the author was in charge of the TV series. I watched until the end of the initial series, but after that I never looked back.
Spoilers/explanation below:
Too many things didn’t make sense, like how the dragon queen suddenly became a completely different person. How the Lannister siblings made up after hating each others guts, only for the tower to collapse on top of them the same instant. That everyone met their nemesis at the very end. Why anyone would vote for Bran to become the new king when he barely spoke to anyone since he was like 13 years old, and many other inconsistencies like that. The last couple of seasons barely had any story at all, it was mostly about fighting… It was bad.
Nobody needs your instance to sell anything. The AI companies can access the data for free, just like the rest of us do through the web.
