I like The Wheel of Time a LOT more than the Cosmere.

I don't know how to explain it, i like Brandon Sanderson and his cosmere, i loved Mistborn and the finale of era 1 trilogy is still my favorite ending of any series/trilogy ever, i like the Stormlight Archive. But, it's characters, plot and world building feels a little short compared to The Wheel of time or other books (Like Malazan, A Song of Ice and fire..)

If me reading only The Cosmere while ignoring other book series, sure, i would probably have the cosmere as my favorite book universe, since is the only series im reading (?

Im currently reading The Great Hunt (Wheel of time book 2) and Words of Radiance (Stormlight Archive book 2), im reading them simultaneously, what i do is read a couple of chapters of The Great Hunt and then i read a couple others of Words Of Radiance and so on.

And by doing this i felt like comparing both series, because i actually found myself enjoying my time with The Wheel of Time a lot more than with Stormlight Archive.

Why?

Well... I like the prose (writing style), plot, characters and world building in The Wheel of Time more than the other. The funny thing is that The Great Hunt isn't even the best work in the wheel of time (That's what i was told, it is book 4 for some) , and Words of Radiance is the favorite of a lot of Cosmere fans.

Robert Jordan prose is probably my type of prose because reading him and then switching to Brandon Sanderson feels a little weird. While Jordan likes to put you in the world with details (like what clothes is that person wearing, how is the room we are at, what words and accent the other character is using.. etc) and insane world building, Brandon Sanderson prose feels... to basic(? Not that is a bad thing, is just that i feel like i need more details of what im reading for me to actually lay down and feel locked in that story, entranced and like in a trance of sorts, im in the zone when im reading The Wheel of Time lmfao

With Brandon (specifically the Stormlight archive) i don't feel this, and those moments are when i enjoy a book the most, and i feel sad for this because i actually like The Cosmere and i find it fascinating.

Another point, the characters in The Wheel of time, i like them a lot more than the ones in Stormlight Archive, I actually (im not joking) don't feel anything for Kaladin, Dalinar or Shallan, or any other character in that series. They feel.. idk how to explain it.. i guess is better for me to not say it lol.. i feel more engaged when reading any character that appears in The Wheel of Time even if it is a new whole character.

And another point, the plot for me is far more interesting in the wheel of time, i love the chosen one trope (like a lot) and so far Jordan is doing an excellent job with this, i want to know how will people react, and move around the chosen one and how he will convince people to follow him for the good of humankind. For me, that's exactly why i loved Red Rising, Dune and harry potter. I have a bias towards chosen one stories, and Stormlight Archive doesn't have that for me to actually pay attention to the story as much as i do with WOT.

Do you guys feel the same about Brandon Sanderson and the cosmere or the other way around?
