Patrick Rothfuss did a misconduct?
In his case it's just being a dick to his fans, looking down on "normies", acting like everyone is below him.
This includes acting disgusted when he needs to interact with fans, demanding people donate to his charity or else they are assholes, saying he can't write because he has a kid he wants to hang out with (working class people are bad parents, apparently), etc.
He is just up his own ass and a lazy, lying piece of shit.
I read Name of the Wind and thought it was awesome.
Aferwards, when I found out what a bullying, nasty manchild Rothfuss is, it left a very sour taste in my mouth.
And yeah, his "charity" -- Worldbuilders is a total scam. It pays large amounts of funds to rent a warehouse owned by Elodin LLC (aka, Patrick Rothfuss himself), and donates a very small amount of money to actual charity. Stay away.
I think I read The Wise Man's Fear, and that was one of the final sci-fi books I touched since my life was mostly wage-slaving and I took to other hobbies to burn steam.
Can't believe that was in 2011 and this fucker still hasn't released a sequel. Why's he trying to be GRRM? On the bright side, the sequel didn't really live up to The Name of the Wind, so maybe his fans won't feel too bad.
I think he knows deep down he's never gonna do better than Name of the Wind. His story setup is way too ambitious and he'll never pull it off right, and he's narcissistic enough that he'd much rather rest on his laurels than risk failure.
I agree, out of curiosity I looked up what Scott Lynch did since then and it's not better. He spat out The Republic of Thieves at the end of 2013 and has 4 novels listed on Wikipedia as "forthcoming", maybe with 1 title this year.
The Lies of Locke Lamora falls under the same trappings -- great book, requires an incredible amount of skill to retain that type of quality, and he fell short.
