Sorry but "the show ruined the perfect books" is a fanboy cope.
Not sure who would say that. Certainly not me. I posted elsewhere in this thread that I do, or did, legitimately really like the first 3 books. Books 4 and 5 I've only read once. I'm not sure I'll ever finish the series.
My point was not that the books were perfect, but that the accusations of GRRM being all about porn and murderporn etc come more from the TV show than the books.
As for whether he knows where things are ending up? I doubt it. Especially the popular reaction to whatever happened in the TV series. I stopped watching that after season 3, so I'm in the dark.
