Books can immerse readers in a completely new universe; it's half the allure. Most readers love the escapism of their fantasy realms, guiding their wandering imaginations into chaotic tales of heroism, alchemy, mystery, and the ever-confusing world of minotaur milking. Alas, while the fans who have never picked up a book in their lives would never understand, finishing a book and following along with the story is one of the greatest feelings of micro accomplishment that a reader can experience. 

And after 14 books of a fantasy series, not only are you thoroughly invested, but oftentimes you're obsessed. So when this angry fantasy reader spoiled the ending of a particularly tumultuous 14-book series, you know they were looking for some well-deserved revenge. Perhaps their assailant should have thought twice before trusting the amicable nature of a stranger online. Because when you insult someone's intelligence and tackle their fandom, you're opening Pandora's box of passion and (in this case), the final, dramatic ending of your fledgeling series.
