I think it is great that you were able to gain so much from reading his books. I personally did not. That is not to say the values you drew from them are invalid in any way. It's not an assault on you personally. You liked his books, I didn't. Both of those things are ok. So no, I am not joking. While I have read other works that impress me to the level that you describe, Game of Thrones did not do so for me.
I think I'm bad at communicating the usual wink I have in my tone when I disagree with people: https://lemmy.ml/post/21428751/14330685
