I had an idea for a novel where all of the psychiatrists and therapists across a city or state just sort of make a pact to start playing headgames with their patients, and they start to horribly fuck people up to the escalation point of their patients committing huge crimes. It would be a kind of black comedy/thriller type thing.

A pathetic NEET is hit by a bolt of lightning one sunday afternoon and suddenly has superintelligence. One of his first realisations is that 'love does not exist' so he dumps his gf. Initially he wants to help the world: he cures cancer, gets rid of the smog so people can see the beautiful stars of the galaxies in cities again, and massively reduces pollution. But he becomes redpilled and sees that the world will only survive under a totalitarian regime, because otherwise we would eventually nuke ourselves. He also sees that overpopulation is killing the planet and he must stop that too.

He begins manufacturing deadly diseases and covertly inserting them into the world, a second Black Death wipes out 33% of the population. While this is going on he manufactures AI, and gets an AI gf who is perfect because she will always be loyal and her love is undying. He uses his AI to create a self-replicating robot army, and launches his invasion against the planet.

To win, he must conduct various surprise attacks to catch the countries of the world off-guard. He wipes out each nuclear missle silo, blows up California, destroys the eastern coast of China and sinks Britain into the water.

The governments of the world surrender. He becomes known as the 'Administrator' of mankind. He infects the water so that people can't have babies anymore unless they get the vaccine he has made. He decides to only let about 10,000,000 people have the vaccine, so the vast majority of mankind will depopulate from earth.

With billions killed and billions sterilised, and because he is hated by everyone, he becomes a recluse. He only talks with his AI gf, and after many cyborg modications to his enhance with body and grant him with eternal life, he wonders if he is really human anymore.

Also, what would legitimize the attempt of subverting such scrutinized practices?

A man's life is destroyed when his wife gets into a car accident rendering her a vegetable. In order to afford a medical procedure to allow her to regain motor functions, he agrees to be a subject in a radical experiment wherein the right half of his body will be cut off and replaced with a synthetic (yet extremely humanlike) body-half.

The surgery goes well, but he suffers amnesia as a symptom due to the brain surgery necessary to cut the whole right side of his body off. While not yet remembering his wife (who is recovering quickly) he finds himself smitten with his 24/7 nurse/physical trainer. She has mixed emotions concerning his advances but over the weeks he eventually begins to win her over. Deep down, she knows the truth concerning him though, and she would not have allowed a romance to blossom if things were different.

They are in love, but she must desperately hide the truth from him in order to preserve it. She can only hide it for so long though, and the truth eventually is let loose. He remembers that he has a wife, and he will try to go to her. But he will only find pain and suffering there as he realizes his right half wasn't just cut off. It too was given a synthetic humanlike half. It lives happily with its wife and now young baby on the way.

He is devastated, but even more so confused. Why is he conscious as this body and not that one? He remembers being conscious before, as one brain. And now he is conscious as one half-brain. But why this brain? Why this and not that? Why me and not you?

My novel idea is the story of an undercover man in the Templar order. Due to the murder of his parents by the Templar organisation 15 years ago he has developped over the years a deep hate for Templars and religion. His aim is to stop this organisation by killing it from the inside. He would make ennemis and friends during his adventure, he would reconsider himself, his actions and his point of view of good and evil and what the religion is.

Its like Eyes Wide Shut but from a female perspective

[Anonymous No.11573831]

Not a novel idea, but I want to do a short story about a shut-in who gets added by a female friend of a friend on Goodreads who proceeds to enter into what he thinks as an epic romance with her through what they read, what they shelve, how quickly they read, etc. He spends weeks sat alone in his room, reading books he doesn't like in a dark corner just so he can post it on Goodreads and continue their "dialogue," their "dance."

I haven't decided whether he discovers that she doesn't even know who he is, or if she's actually in love with him. I'm leaning towards a surrealist angle where it's only at the bottom of the rabbit hole that he meets her so his entire narration of the meeting is unreliable, so I can focus more on his experience of going off the deep end with her.

How do people do it? How do they get up every single day and write and think to themselves, "yes, I'm going to upload/publish this" and believe that their writing alone is going to matter to other people, that other people will actually care about reading it? I'm so scared to start. I have no online presence, no social clout, it would be highly unlikely anyone would find what I write, let alone want to read what I have to offer. I'm so focused on the goal of success that I've lost the passion for telling stories inside of me. I just don't see myself making it anymore.

>I'm too nervous to shill it to friends and family because IMO they'd make fun of me for the subject matter

Plot centers around a mentally ill teenage girl. Her boyfriend is about to be recruited to play hockey professionally and she is hoping to mooch off the spoils of his career because she knows isn't stable enough to go to university or get a job.

Just as things get serious with his career (scouts, team reps. offering contracts), she starts having mental breakdowns and has to try her best to keep the relationship afloat to secure her future with him.

It obviously doesn't go well. She progressively gets worse and hits rock bottom. While she finally commits to therapy, the boyfriend dumps her anyway. She is devastated, but in therapy learns her plan was extremely selfish, and by the end of the book gathers up enough courage to apply for a part-time job and somewhat get her shit together. She is handed her first paycheck as the TV in the background of the coffee shop shows highlights of her ex-boyfriend playing in his first game.

my problem is I have multiple paths to go about this. One of the things I thought of was that these people in these institutions of mental health are collectively passing moral judgment on a society that they feel they have to take care of, coddle, and reshape to fit the world around them. The idea is they're sick and tired of people being broken and this is how they fix them, by turning them into the most depraved version of themselves, a kind of twisted logic if you will.

I'm thinking about how to create a superfluous man story that has not been done yet.

[Anonymous No.11575581]

The protagonist is an average dude. He lives in an utopia, where women does not exist and human get created out of artificial wombs. In this world, everybody has a special power that they can use without limit, but nobody abuses it. They all use it for the good. The protagonist can heal people, regardless of how severe the wound is. He works as a doctor and lives his life peacefully until one day, he gets 'isekaied' into a strange world: the gender ratio of the world is 100 female to 1 male; women rule the world, since their magic abilities are a lot stronger than men's.

Lots of reverse rape and romance since the protagonist's healing ability is addicting and women are thirsty for it.

I think I will finish it because I am an ugly and lonely guy in real life. My job gives me lots of free time to spend.

Shitty World: There is an alternate world where human being poop only once in their lives. When they eat food, after it is digested it is transported to a pocket dimension which exists outside of time. At a random point in their life they will have their Poo Moment, which is when they expel all the poo they ever have and ever will create.

If you had your Poo Moment when you were 2, you might realize you are more likely to die young than someone who has their Poo Moment when they are 16. Also if you had a relatively brief Poo Moment you might realize you are probably going to die young because you ate less total food throughout your entire life. However, these realization doesn't occur to people, maybe because the government knows and is blocking them out.

The Poo Moment is somewhat of a religious thing in this world. When people begin to realize they can use their Poo Moment to get an idea of how long they will live, society falls into chaos. Concepts such as the nature of life and death and what it means to be human are explored.

If a five-year old has his Poo Moment and poos an amount equal to a sixty-year lifespan, can you chop his head off, killing him then and causing a paradox? If you have your Poo Moment when you're twenty and it's equal to thirty years of poo, can you change your habits and live longer? Do we truly have free will, or is the Universe bound by determinism?

One very old scientist, who has not had his Poo Moment yet, is working on creating artificial babies. These would be useful for sterile couples, or if humanity were affected by a virus. However the test-tube babies don't have random Poo Moments, you have to choose one an encode it into the baby's DNA.

This sparks an outrage because the whole point of the Poo Moment is it's your personal thing and nobody chose it for you, so people consider these babies inhuman. When it's discovered the scientist hasn't had his Poo Moment yet, and people now realize such a thing is improbable, they riot and declare him inhuman.

At the end of the novel, the scientist would be in a hospital bed, dying. The riot breaks into the hospital and people pour into his room, holding picket signs and throwing rocks and shouting that he's over a hundred years old and still hasn't had his Poo Moment, so he must be inhumane. In his last moments of life his stomach makes a deafening roar, he grins, and expels a hundred years worth of poo upon the crowd.
