TierMaker Discworld Community Tier List

Apologies for not being able to upload an image at the moment.

Obviously TierMaker isn't the be all end all of community opinion, but I stumbled upon this tier list recently and found it strange. I have a handful of friends who have read some of the books, and they were surprised by some of the tierings too. Some trends I noticed:

  • "Entry" books seem to be tiered high, and books occuring later in the Discworld timeline get tiered lower
  • Tiffany Aching books are tiered very low
  • I believe the earlier books are generally getting tiered higher than the later books, but I haven't actually verified that.

I guess my biggest question is is the opinions of the community actually so diverse? Maybe many folks haven't read all the books so it gets skewed like that? The site says it compiles 32 tier lists which sounds like a decent amount of data to me.

Ah well then you’ll be appreciating how the protagonist has the knowing of the sines and the cosines and the tangents.
