Would people buy a sci-fi book about mechs? Give your opinion if you want

>a sci-fi book about mechs
that tells me literally nothing about the book
to get people to read something you have to prove it's interesting or at least stands out in some way from 99% of people have already made
>>7472047
Sure, why not.

Alright, the year is 2130. In the turn of the century robotic scientists have perfected the manufacturing and use of bipedial robotic vehicles. About 30 years later an alien race of warriors have contacted earth in hopes of claiming the solar system as part of their empire, earth refuses and all countries have temporarily joined together to defeat the common enemy. The race of aliens have requested that earth follow a war protocol of their people that dictates that no fighting be carried out on the respective home planets and all battles to be fought on a life less planet; the scene is set for the battle of Mars.

Probably not a market out there for that desu. Try writing a rousing murder mystery.
>>7472082
Fuck murder mystery. The spouse did it for insurance
>>7472047
if you're planning on writing an eva fanfic with purple prose, don't. but if you really think you have something important to say about the relationship between the pilot and what essentially amounts to his prosthetic, the mech, then I think you could get it done with 20 pages of a short story
Can the mechs fuck each other?
>>7472081
fuck all this. this isn't what it's about. it's about mechs.
>>7472128
Elaborate please.
>>7472081
Write a story about an AI mech that hates its designated pilot and has fallen in love with another pilot.
>>7472141
Sequel? Or maybe a spin off
>>7472148
No sequel, you can throw the other shit in there too, but a love story always sells.

I'll give it a look

At the dawn of the year 6969, a team of perverted scientists have seized intricate milatary bipedial machines and repurposed them into monstrous man-operated cock monsters. The very sight of these modern marvels drives their enemies to madness.
The year is 6970. World peace is achieved, and the robotic weiner warriors have all been locked away...until a stream of data is intercepted by one of Pluto's many satellites. Dxuf Za'lexor, supreme ruler of the Uvulalivlia cluster, has sent warnings to intelligent lifeforms throughout the galaxy; the warnings indicate that Za'lexor and her people will consume all life. Can the human race pull together, awaken the slumber of the lizard-milking machines, and turn the tide of battle against the vaginal alien creatures from the Uvulalivlia cluster? Only time will tell.

Now we're talking
>>7472263
But why? I want to make a serious story about the possibility of mechanical warfare and other life in the universe, not porn
>>7472211
none of that Mars alien bullshit is really important to the story of a mech.
>>7472294
The mechs are tools, it's the operators I'm focused on
>>7472315
What if... the mech operates the man?
>>7472325
5 ton machine sitting on a 240 pound man?
I'll sleep on it
>>7472047
I don't know if they would buy the book, but All you need is Kill got his book made into a movie. He must have earned some money out of that.
>>7472288
Give me something serious.
I crave some form of substance to pull me out of this world and into your writing.
I don't want robot war porn.
>>7472428
That's what I said. I want to create an sci-fi action novel that isn't romantic in any way, the main character doesn't have a love interest to contrast his "caring" side because he's trying not to die in a war
>>7472211
>If I need filler I'll work it in.
Nigga, your whole premise is filler. No one cares about mechs or alium wars. Everyone cares about love.
>>7472447
Then you need to chose a theme and work with it.
>>7472463
Why love though? Don't people want to break the mold? Not every story absolutely needs a love sequence
>>7472466
Your right. Good luck with any project your working on and thank you
>>7472474
Doesn't have to be love, it was just a suggestion. But it needs to be something more relatable than mech for the sake of mech.
