normally i wouldn't tell people to give up on their dreams but come the frick on 💀💀
in typical reddit fashion, everything is so so bad. the advice, the depressed writers looking for people to validate their awful ideas. i distinctly remember one poster who wanted to know if people wanted to read about dinosaur bones. that's it. no mention of characters, no worldbuilding, no paleontologist murder mystery set in the heart of the african jungle. if you can't convince yourself, why should we care? here's a quote from Adaptation (2002):
People are murdered every day. There's genocide, war, corruption. Every fricking day somewhere in the world somebody sacrifices his life to save somebody else. Every fricking day someone somewhere takes a conscious decision to destroy someone else. People find love, people lose it. For Christ's sake a child watches her mother beaten to death on the steps of a church! Someone goes hungry, somebody else betrays his best friend for a woman. If you can't find that stuff in life, then you my friend don't know crap about life!

It feels like they'd rather just be playing GURPS or something. Like why crowdsource ideas for a book you're pressumably going to publish publically?

I would understand this if you were trying to write something that is just for you and your dudes playing a TTRPG but it seems just lazy for a supposed novel.
