There's this evil wizard that has conquer all the neighboring towns and cities. He starts to rebuilt them to his liking, but there are still people that oppose him, so he mind rapes them using his awesome magic. But that creates a town full of zombies, which he doesn't like since he wants to be worship. The story is him basically coming up with ideas to get the town people to like him, as well as defending his spoils from heroes out to make a name for themselves.

I wrote this novel for a school assignment when i was 15. It was about two guys who were broke and had to acquire a large sum of money quickly. They decided to rob a bank but the risk was too high so they stole a bunch of monkeys and trained them to rob the bank for them. They eventually got caught and sentenced to prison, including the monkeys. Well in the prison they came up with the idea of selling sexual services from the monkeys to other inmates and guards and eventually got rich as fuck and got released and lived happily ever after.

Lets begin from this. The plot sounds like that of a cheap action film for schoolboys. Maybe it will become popular among average people (rednecks), but if you wants your book to be iconic among the elite society you should remake your plot.

A novel consisting of gruesome short stories from a madman. That's it. Would probably go along the thoughts of experiences he's had or just ordinary situations he's observed but horrendously twisted to a violent degree for no other reason. Sounds shit when I type it out now.

Haven't seen the SoA but yes, that's the general concept. Do you think it makes sense to work on this concept? I'm not confident I could pull of the "creating believable story without prematurely revealing the time and place" thing and also I'm not sure if the readers wouldn't find the Nazi protagonists too evil to identify with even if I give them sympathetic backstories and futile redemption.

Yes, its sounds like a very good concept.

Nah, you can get away with it. The 1978 miniseries Holocaust had a somewhat similar premise, an unemployed German lawyer played by Michael Moriarty gets pressured into joining the Nazi Party by his wife and begins a rapid ascent through the SS in part through her nagging him on.
