In my grimdark classpunk setting, oppressed classes of people such as “frau” and “arbeiter” attempt to organize a social revolution but fail to realize that the ruling class has a form of dark illusory magic that disguises social processes as objective physical reality.
Literal glass ceilings
I’ve been thinking about world building a lot recently. My first thoughts did sort of run along these lines. Characters were definitely not a consideration
I really enjoy creating my own settings and doing worldbuilding. However, I don’t really care for classical storytelling like you see in novels. I don’t want to write a story about the hero’s journey. I would rather spend my time inventing myths and the history of places that will never be.
Sure, there are characters in my worldbuilding, but they are not the focus of it, even the super important ones.
