>The main character who has no name and interactions between any other character than the love interest is found out to be the love interest's hallucinations of being lonely and the reason why everyone but her is dead
>he was actually just in a coma :(
>he teleported behind her with a katana
>The main character/protagonist/narrator was black all along.
>>7469783
>everything was just a dream
>the narrator is actually a roach
>>7469783
yo that twist is convoluted af
>it turns out that the drugs are transported by being injected into cats who are left to wander the streets and then picked up by the buyers, who then eat the cat meat to experience its effects
Turns out that the book is an anagram for the entirety of the original german editions of das kapital.
the first and last words of every book in the series actually make up a story.
>>7469783
>The alien turns out to be be human
>>7469850
nice
>>7469906
glad you think so
its not even the main twist, more like a premise of the text
>>7469918
but how do they find the cats?
>>7469856
kek'd uncontrollably at this
>the book itself is the narrator
>>7469923
im not entirely sure, its either going to be they entirely degrade themselves by hunting the streets/sewers/garbage to find the cats (Burroughs style) or the dealers drop the cats off in at a certain cattery and the buyers collect it, where the owner would get curious and become wrapped up in the plot somehow
leaning towards the second but writing both at the moment
>>7469940
what if the cats have a microchip and buyers have a detector? Different cats have different quantity of drugs that match to the buyer. At one point a druggie breaks down and starts to eat everything on four legs because it might have drugs.
Unreliable narrator / The Narrator is the killer.
>>7469961
that's another possible avenue yeah! considering having elements of both, like the privileged who can afford it can have them dropped off at the cattery, the poorer addicts with a more serious problem can't afford that and have to find them. the detector idea is decent, was considering ever so slightly it in the back of my head but definitely going to give it more thought
the scene you describe would be fun to write, i'll credit you when it comes out man
tyler durden is actually hank solo's fater
>>7469856
Brilliant, I'm stealing that

So he's Turkish?
From a novel I wrote long ago that will never see the light of day:
Takes place between three characters in a future city. A can see the future. B can block A's ability and A tries to kill him. C is a private eye hired to find A.
End of the novel: A's story is revealed as a precursor to the present moment, where he holds B at gunpoint and sees in the future that he kills B. However, B's ability is blocking the real future, and A's only experiencing delusions of success.
So although he thinks he's seeing the future, C shoots him before he can kill B.
>>7469838
The main character is the love interest's hallucinations. The love interest has depression and is lonely. The main character embodies those feelings that she feels.

Happiness comes from within and everything the protag has done turns out to be nothing more than a waste of time

that's the twist
>>7470202
oh fuck!
>she's not in love with him
>she was sent to kill him
>>7469783
Jesus Christ that's fucking stupid. As if the "it was all a dream" trope should exist anywhere but in risible student art films.
>>7470244
I USED TO READ WORD UP MAGAZINE
>>7470251
I don't even know what that means.
the story is told by an omniscient narrator.BUT it is revealed 1/3 into the story that he is a big brother type who knows everything while being a character in the story. the protag try to kill the narrator to end the dystopia. the story ends when the narrator dies.
insane right

It's not that I don't understand; it's that your idea is fucking stupid.
>>7470289
How? Are you just an idea guy
>>7470267
I-Is it good?
>>7470297
It's over done - it's just a convoluted version of the "it was all a dream" trope - it's predictable, and it sounds like something an angsty teenager would come up with after having watched an M. Nigh Shyamalan movie. Don't get defensive. I'm not an "idea guy".
>>7470304
It's not just a dream though, the main character is her lover, it's not predictable because he is fleshed out and has his own family. It's not even an angry twist, it's one about coping.
>>7470301
I remember it as good. It's ananime, but don't let that discourage you. You can watch it on youtube. I recommend you should at least check it out.
>>7470308
Stop trying to explain this to me. I'm not saying it's equivalent; it's just a "person not actually existing" fake out, in the same way as "it was all a dream" is. Maybe predictable was the wrong word, but it's the type of twist that once discovered, the reader goes: "not this shit again. That's disappointing." Like the ending of "The Dark Tower".
>>7470320
no, no, it's not like that where at the end he realizes he's a dead person, at the climax at the book, the perspective of the story switches to her. In her perspective he stops coming over and then she longs in the street for him. It's not straight out "he not real whole time lmao"
>>7470343
That makes more sense, but then I wouldn't classify it as a twist. The point isn't the shock of the discovery; it's the way the character deals with it.
No matter where he eats, who he fucks, how much he spends, or what he does, free will is an illusion.

This was already done by Agatha Christie inThe Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Story of a girl who wakes up with a missing hand and so she goes on a journey to find her missing hand and she then becomes depressed and contemplates suicide. The twist is that her hand was inside her vagina the entire time.

Shouldn't be too hard if you kept the same length and stick to German(likelyhood of characters for longer texts are fairly constant for a language). You might need one weird adjustment chapter at one point, but that's it. If you don't use German you might have a hard time finding a good use for Γ€ ΓΆ ΓΌ and Γ.

I WAS GAY THE WHOLE TIME
Dictator ushers in a new world order and puts all resources into searching for a mythical weapon which is said, in lore, to destroy the world. Hero/Heroine pursues this supposed weapon through journal entries from archaeological parents who tried there best to obscure information. Hero/Heroine turns out to be said weapon and is destined to destroy the very world they desire to save. Additional twist is the hero/heroine doesn't destroy the world but instead the world order set forth by the dictator, by becoming known as an additional oppressive force (or dictator), taking over the world, and planning their own demise at the hands of an informant. Effectively destroying the world, creating a new oppressive world, and destroying the world yet again for it to be recreated by and for the people. Would also put some socialist/communist undertones in the new world order.
The man who was guiding him through the story was dead all along and only the main character could see him

>Olivers sister had built the detroit commune following the US collapse 20 years prior. Oliver's sister helps Marshall, who Reginald is after. And thus makes the (arguably good or bad) decision to sacrifice his sister and his revolutionary agenda in order to save Reginald and his.

>>7472042
I don't understand. What will be the next step of his master plan? It doesn't make any sense.
The protagonist is a bumbling idiot and various governments are spying on him in what appears to be industrial espionage gone wrong and then he executes his plan at the end fucking over the entire world.
>>7469940
The cats become instantly addicted to the drug from such high levels of exposure, so a trace amount of the pure substance is enough to attract them from across the city due to their extremely acute senses.

Getting an anonymous forum to repeat his imagined narrative so much that it distorts reality.

Ahh, Cr1tikal, how I hope your days are looking better.
The main character overthrowing the autocratic government leads to the inevitable destruction of humanity.
>>7476027
I remembered the day that plane crashed.
The first thing I did when I arrived home was checking /tv/ for dank memery and it didn't disappoint.
It's basically the plot of Seven Samurai except the Samurai are killed in battle and the women and children are raped then murdered along with the men and the village is pillaged.
Real life doesn't have a happy ending, bandits were vicious motherfuckers.

The lyrics of the song the girl sings about dreams in the first book is actually metaphors and foreshadowing for the events, characters, and final scene of the series in book 11
>>7477645
that's neat. The first thing she says should be a question and the last thing she says should be the answer, but deep.
Everything about the story is suggestive of an all encompassing twist but it ends abruptly without resolving anything in the most mundane fashion possible.

This is novel twists not ham-fisted twists.
The novel begins in media res. The setting is pastoral and idyllic southern France, 353 million years into the future, sunk 59 thousand feet under the sea, inside a specific square meter. I give a strict historical account of the geological activity, sedimentation and stratification inside that square meter over the past 353 million years, then make a projection forward for the next 7 million years, this is broken up into 83 chapters pre and 3 post era of inquiry.
The last line of the book encourages the reader to reread every prime letter of the book from the beginning, counting the first letter of the first line as 1. The resulting block can only be decrypted by using a one time pad key which is obtained by selecting every 505th letter counting the first letter of the first line as 1. The decrypted block is simply the last line of the book.

>novel is about people suspecting their neighbor's new husband is a pedophile
>novel comprised entirely of sentences stolen from Lolita and The Virgin Suicides
Time travel story where the mechanism is splitting timelines to prevent paradoxes. The story starts splitting into many equally valid narrative threads, all of which gradually lead back into eachother as the main antagonist is revealed to be the protagonist from the alternate timeline who has travelled back to the original thread.

My novel just sort of happens... there's no twist.
They just all die, and u can see it coming from a mile away.
