Just so you all know, I haven't managed to read everything by Robert E. Howard yet, I have currently finished Kull, Conan, Bran Brak Morn and Solomon Kane in the Robert E. Howard Ultimate Collection that I purchased on Kindle, alongside some of his other short stories.
I think it's more or less confirmed that a lot or most of his stories are set within the same universe, possibly connected with that of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos even.
Admittedly, the stories REH's got are pretty racist, believing in shit the Nazi's believed in, so kinda cringe and WTF at times. Though, can also be very respectable and humanising as shown with the African Tribesmen who were eaten alive by the Harpies and N'Longa, Solomon Kane's Witch Doctor friend who's far older than even his old age may show.
That said, if anybody wants to see Borderline-Badass Normals who have tremendous direct-fighting skills(CQC for both Armed&Unarmed and even Long-Ranged) and the ability to use their wits to see possible weaknesses and improvise when fighting directly doesn't work, whom I suspect were inspirations for Guts from Berserk.
Funnily, I think they're a show that you can be both a Berserker AND still be a smart fighter at the same time.
So, for you guys who may have read his works, some or most or all, which was your favourite stories?
