that authors are all just hacks. All of these supposed greats are just drawing from their own lives and experiences to write these works of "fiction".Where's the imagination?Not even scifi/fantasy is able to escape from this.The Forever War? It's just the author's recollections of The Vietnam War but IN SPACEThe Lord of the Rings? It's just the author copying ancient mythology and using his own experiences in World War 1.Nobody writes anything original or imaginative, it's all just copies of previous stories or biographies.
That is a wide net you are casting, you really think you can handle it?
>>25244146Yeah, it's all literally the same and everything is stupid. Continue playing videogames and watching porn. By the way, are you 14?
>>25244250Don't get mad just because the stuff you enjoy is derivative.

>>25244146Wait people write from their own life experiences!!???? What the actual fuck!!!!???
>>25244146>drawing from their own lives and experiences>it's all just copies of previous stories or biographiesWhich is it, or do you consider a lived life as a story left untold?
>>25244146Highly imaginative books often redefine genre through unique world-building or innovative structures, such as Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves (unconventional layout), David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas (interlocking narratives), and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. These works, along with Jorge Luis Borges’ Labyrinths, are frequently cited for their audacity and brilliant originalityHighly Original & Imaginative Books"House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski: A psychological horror novel famous for its strange formatting, footnotes, and layout that mirrors the story's chaotic, shifting house."Cloud Atlas" by David Mitchell: Structurally ingenious, this novel presents six interconnected stories across time, presented in a nested structure."Invisible Cities" by Italo Calvino: A foundational work of imagination where Marco Polo describes fantastic, philosophical cities to Kublai Khan."Labyrinths" by Jorge Luis Borges: A collection of short stories that explore philosophical concepts, labyrinths, and fiction-within-fiction."The Library at Mount Char" by Scott Hawkins: Described as a truly unique, modern dark fantasy that defies comparison."Perdido Street Station" by China Miéville: A hallmark of the "New Weird" genre, featuring dense, imaginative, and grotesque city-building."Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem: A masterpiece of science fiction that tackles the difficulty of understanding a truly alien intelligence."Life: A User's Manual" by Georges Perec: A complex, rule-based narrative detailing an apartment building, representing a peak of "potential literature"."The Third Policeman" by Flann O'Brien: An absurd, surreal novel that defies traditional narrative structure."Flatland" by Edwin Abbott: An imaginative, classic story that presents a world with only two dimensions.Genre-Defining Imaginative WorksFantasy: >The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.

>>25246470Thanks GrokGPT
>>25244146Schiller but no Goethe? What's the logic there?
>>25244146Woah...The More I Read the More I Realize...Everything is written from the viewpoint of humans or what humans assume other creatures will be like. Everything they describe is always using only the senses they have available, nothing more. Everything is also using the same highly repetitive language which wouldn't exist in half the settings so its nothing more than a unimmersive mode of transit to attempt to tell a story. Everything is just stories. It's just people telling stories other people would be interested in. Woooah.
>The More I Read the More I RealizeOP is a hack for not making an original post and instead just being derivative of his own life experiences
