Sapkowski is an absolute r-slur and I say this as someone who has enjoyed the games and the books.
Dude thought video games would be a fad and not actually catch on (this is early-mid 2000s) and basically only wanted a flat sum of a cash for letting CDPR to do the witcher series. Realizing the games were selling like hotcakes, especially 3, he basically fummed and demanded he wants % and like backpay n shit.
The fact he likes the netflix adaptation is why everyone thinks poles are big r-slurs only good for being a meatshield against russian aggression.

The books aren't good, and they focus WAY WAY WAY too much on how everyone wants to r*pe Ciri.
I never would have gone past book 1 without the the zeitgeist, and I never would have heard of them at all without the games.

I really enjoyed the books and I love the game. Hated the show. This has been my contribution.

It took a lot of therapy (writing fanfiction) but I was finally ready to share my truth.

As someone who hasn't read the books or played the game, I gave up on the show after two episodes
Had no clue what was going on
