Are all plot driven fiction novels inherently pleb tier?
Honestly reading harry potter or a Stephen King book is really no better than watching Game of Thrones, Family Guy, or listening to Linking Park

If you worry about being a pleb, you're probably a pleb.

Probably, but some are still enjoyable

Harry Potter > Stephen King

Ok, I'll give you that; all the same brand of pleb
>Family Guy,
Holy fuck, no. This is below pleb, if there is such a thing...

The desire to rise above being pleb is so pleb.
The patrician have no desire to prove their status.
Instead, they revel in the subtlety of recognizing the patrician in others.
A sly nod between two men of even standing.
A sly gesture of recognition and approval, these are the hallmarks of the Patrician.

No. Even the best of prose writers get into trouble if they don't follow at least a crude story arc before hand, and I wouldn't exactly call Game of Thrones or Family Guy plot driven.

Hey, uh, what the fuck is Linking Park?

Dickens is pretty plot driven, and I'd say he's a step above Harry Potter.
