That means jealous literary snobs need to attack him, like a certain Yale professor.
God forbid anything exists merely to enjoy, or is accessible by the unwashed masses.

I find literary snobs really delightful to encounter. They are like that rich guy that buys a shit stain claiming it to be the epitome of art, but poor.
King is the greatest and most diverse writer of the Television age. He is popularist and ground breaking, he is so good in fact that books he didn't write under his own name made the best seller lists worldwide and did it again when he released them under his real name.
He also wrote the srory for the greatest movie of all time. The Shawshank Redemption.
He is certainly the greatest living writer. Practically everybody on the planet has heard of him and most of the ones who haven't have still seen The Running Man. I do find he rushes the endings of so many of his books, it's like he goes; Screw it, only another 85 pages and I get paid, I'm finishing this tonight!

King is okay. The vitriol some throw at him is overblown as there are far inferior writers of "popular" genre literature and he has written some very good work, but he's also penned some real garbage and even some of his better stories can be internally inconsistent and corny.
He puts out a lot of books and I think a not so small amount are crappy. However, I think when he's good he is really good. He's like a baseball player who either strikes out or hits a home run every time he is at bat.

You are not of course. Have you ever tried to write something big at all? I think 98% of people will say no. It's hard work and only talented people like Stephen King can handle it. I recently tried to write a dissertation myself. As a result, I asked for help on the platform, so that they would write my dissertation for me, I used https://edubirdie.com/write-my-thesis for this. Just try to write something yourself .... And King does it with incredible stories from which you cannot recover for a long time.

The Dark Tower is like his career in brief. Starts off super strong, until about the fourth book or so, and becomes a rambling mess where with far too many pages devoted to his literal self insert character.
I don't really like how the Tower lore affects his better stories either. It turned the "god" of The Stand into, what, just the god of that level of the tower? Not Gan?
And Randall Flagg went out like a chump. Featured as a main antagonist in two stories, and gets taken out by a pointless spider baby.

But they did establish multiple variations of characters, so I can hold onto my theory that a version of Roland didn't get royally screwed over by Gan.
Just saved the multiverse, but no lets punish him for minor and arguably necessary to the big picture hubris.

I think that he is an amazing writer. I've read a lot of his books, and his writing style, plots, everything is genius. I've also read books of another author in such a genre, but for me, it wasn't the same.
We were talking about Steven King a literature course, and I even wrote a paper dedicated to his books and biography. It was an analytical paper, and uk.edubirdie was the resource with helped me with it because it's not that easy to write such papers, based on so many books.
But I can say that he is one of the best writers, and it's worth reading his books
