TierMaker Discworld Community Tier List
Apologies for not being able to upload an image at the moment.
Obviously TierMaker isn’t the be all end all of community opinion, but I stumbled upon this tier list recently and found it strange. I have a handful of friends who have read some of the books, and they were surprised by some of the tierings too. Some trends I noticed:
- “Entry” books seem to be tiered high, and books occuring later in the Discworld timeline get tiered lower
- Tiffany Aching books are tiered very low
- I believe the earlier books are generally getting tiered higher than the later books, but I haven’t actually verified that.
I guess my biggest question is is the opinions of the community actually so diverse? Maybe many folks haven’t read all the books so it gets skewed like that? The site says it compiles 32 tier lists which sounds like a decent amount of data to me.
I’m currently in the final stretch of finishing all the novels. I think I’m reading my 32nd book now? Can’t wait to get to some of the Industrial Revolution stuff.
Yeah it’s fun. Raising steam was really fun as an engineer because it was one of the few times that I felt seen by an author in that side of myself. Not as some stuffy jackass or some brilliant hero of an age of progress but as a mad scientist who uses math to create things that cause change in all sorts of unexpected ways and revels in the sheer joy of creation.
And Moist is a great foil to Vetinari and Vimes. He’s chaos harnessed
Oh great shout, I studied engineering.
Ah well then you’ll be appreciating how the protagonist has the knowing of the sines and the cosines and the tangents.
