I am writing about a dystopian future where an empire made by women has just been taken down. The women in this world are naturally smarter than men, so that is why they created this empire that controlled all men. However,since men are stronger than women they eventually overthrow this empire by women.
Due to formation issues, women have to be kept at "farms" that hold them imprisoned.
This is just a quick recap of the plot. I am not going to make it anti-feminist, I am rather going to weave in some intricate criticism on how the world we live in today is far too polarized in all instances.

Fuck, that would turn into a pretty much interesting short story.
A city where all of humanity is kept happy and content in a vaporawave-style 80s/90s nostalgia bubble. A young woman who decides she would quite like human contact instead. The resulting centuries of conflict as her reincarnations struggle to rediscover humanity and in the process completely redefine their utopian surroundings and the world they live in.

Sky rim?
I get the feeling I am plagiarizing this from somewhere but...
It's about a lonely and pathetic protagonist and his daily quests to acquire a friend. He does things like...join a suicide cult (because it allows him to talk to a girl) and upon identifying his situation...is unable to extricate himself from it because he's spineless and it'd be too awkward.
Thoughts?

Literally no one will read this, I know because I only read half of the ones here.
It's about a blind and crippled young man who later becomes a powerful martial artist. I didn't want it to be genre fiction so the "message" of the story is that the great evil can produce legendary heros. That and evil individuals are required to cause men and women to strive for peak greatness.

Gente fiction means a story without literary merit, is it not? A lot of people would argue that you don't need bad guys in life.I think we do if we want to be the best we can be. A society that goes through no tests of character becomes a petty and worthless one over time.
Example: If my book's main character wasn't crippled by the main antagonist he would have never achieved all the amazing things that he does.
Is a Fantasy with overarching themes automatically genre fiction?
>>7728252
Probablynot. Sorry I don't know a true answer to that.

Interesting topic. Is that all you know or can you share some other interesting nuggets?

I always hope that the people that can't even summarize the plots of their books clearly, aren't actually writing a book but i'd probably be wrong if i believed that.

I look forward to reading your autobiography, Mr. Green.
A thriller where a basement-dwelling neckbeard discovers himself to be hungry, so he ventures upstairs to find his mother has been brutally murdered. He refuses to call the police because the idea of talking to a stranger on the phone makes him anxious. He instead takes his mother's corpse down into the basement where he posts pictures on /b/ of himself performing sex acts on her.
The story concludes with a police investigation into these graphic images on 4chan and they raid our hero's mother's house where they find him. Our hero smiles as he is arrested and taken away. He looks back to his mother, now being tended to by the authorities, and he realises that his plan to 'call' the police has been a success.

What I'm saying is that anything having to do with morality is banal and genre fic-tier, no matter what "argument" you're making for it. It's babby's first "depth" garbage.
Bankers, homicidal bees, and other monstrosities.
