If you were to write a book, what would it be about? What would you want to convey, if anything?

I would wanna convey the volatile nature of ethics and how good and bad are hard to justify when you talk about people, since it is just the actions and upbringing of the person and not the person themselves who are bad or good. This would be done by constantly comparing people of different circumstances and judging wether one or the other should be allowed to live.

I have several book ideas, but right now I'm writing about a business owner whose life goes to shit during the Lockdown. Here are a few:
>A secret service agent whose job primarily consists of hiding all the bad shit the president's son does, like getting rid of his cocaine and making sure his hookers keep silent (inspired by Hunter Biden)
>A central banker who goes to jail for fraud and tries to institute a fiat system in the prison economy
>A comedy mocking Zelensky (perhaps drawing parallels between him and Bernie Madoff)
>A book about a South Korean secretary who works for the boss of a chaebol in the aftermath of a failed coup

>> No.22811808

I thought about making books that are like mad libs. Almost like an informal version of writing where it constantly has twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. like it is so over the top. one second the main character is fighting aliens or some shit then he is eating a hot dog running from a tornado. stuff that people actually want to read.

I wrote one novel and I'm currently brainstorming ideas for a second
>completed a ya fantasy romance about a knight and a princess who fight an evil wizard who wants to take over the world
>brainstorming a ya scifi romance about space pilots who uncover a secret doomsday weapon and have to stop it before it kills 99.99% of life in their galaxy as they are hunted by mercenaries
I put my own enjoyment and the reader's first rather than some deeper meaning, but some common themes/elements between the two are
>getting over the death of loved ones, it's important to let go of grief and live your own life
>you are worthy of forgiveness and love, regardless of whatever scars/traumas have defined your life
>it's not the end of the world if your parents suck and treat you poorly

Amazon is already flooded with ai books. Techtards are destroying cultures at a rapid rate while midwits are too busy telling everyone most media are bad so it won't be that much of a difference. Meanwhile there are genuinely good works out there being buried in this age of participation trophies and empty achievements.

it would probably be something about the futility of pursuing uniqueness. Set in the future maybe, a bigger population can make the point easier to get across. Modern day adjacent setting could work too. Why try to be uniquely profound or leave a world defining legacy when the only thing that matters is that you're happy. Now that I write this down I just need an outlet to blow off steam I reckon.

I want to write a holy book that proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Catholic Church is in fact a polytheistic rebellion against the apocalyptic astro-Shamanism, that is cleverly disguised as 'monotheism', exposing the only actual conspiracy in the universe, namely that astrology is the actual origin of monotheism, and that the Egyptian Pharaos got brainwashed by the sun

I've always wanted to write a novel about free will and self-consciousness, but I must admit my understanding of the subject is still lackluster. I need to reflect on the matter, the idea is still there though (and if it ever comes to fruition, I will shill it on this board ofc)
