A Boy Can Dream, Can't He?

I think it would be funny to take two distinctly different book genres that happen to be set at the same time and just have them both happen in the same story. Hell, make them antagonistic to each other, you've got one set of protagonists over here and another set there, whatever happens on their turf works by their genre logic, and vice versa.

Like imagine you're reading a Jane Austen style sensibility realism about the british landowning gentry who are very delicate and polite with each other but consider abject poverty to mean only having two maids and one horse carriage. The protagonist is pleading her father to please reconsider his oath to never forgive some duke over an imagined slight in a starkly worded letter, before he brings ruin to the entire family over his own stubborn pride. If her brother won't come back from his service in the navy, the duke is their only hope. Her father insists that he will, his son is his the favourite child and if anything ever happened to him, then he would simply die from grief on the spot because he would no longer have anything worth living for. The protagonist is unsure whether it didn't cross her father's mind that by saying this he would imply that she is worth nothing to him, or whether he said that intentionally and simply does not care that it hurt her. She does not ask, and instead goes to her room to write a 15-page letter to her closest most beloved bosom friend.

Then it cuts to halfway across the world right into a rowdy romantic pirate adventure, right in the middle of a swashbuckling battle at sea. This time there's no time for long introductions of family backgrounds and scenic high detail descriptions of their respective estates, one of the ships is on fire and whichever side manages to get control of the other ship will live. Battle for survival alone at this point. Shit's pure tits up chaos. The other protagonist, a pirate, shows up on the scene, and in their introductory sentence stabs the aforementioned brother through the throat.

Why are agriculture classes the first time I've learned extremely basic info about nutrition and how digestion works. Why isn't this stuff in health textbooks or any easily accessible resource about healthy eating.

hii, i wanted to ask what you didn't like about ringworld, i was going to start reading it, but now i'm wondering if i should just not lol

I didn't like.. most of it, tbh.

It's very misogynistic and has a weirdly lukewarm/probably for the best :/ stance on eugenics, the characters are either complete cartoons, or truly awful people. The protagonist is just a vile person, but in that author self-insert way where he can only be validated, Teela is written like a precocious child and cocksleeve for the protagonist (and when she disapears, a new cocksleeve immediately replaces her.))

The aliens are also really stupidly written, the carnivores are warlike meatheads and the herbivores are pathetic and cowardly. The exploration of the ringworld isn't even fun because when they get there they mostly run past all of the inhabitants because they determine theyre just stupid savages and need to keep looking until they find civilized people, which was very jarring and frustrating after finishing several of Le Guin's Hainish books.

The scale of the ringworld is cool, and they way puppeteers look is cool. That's about it.
