Wait till halfway through the third or fourth book when you realize that the time skip was just there to age up the main character so that he can have a terribly written, slightly underage, very uncomfortable, chapter long sex scene - probably with the government.
No it’s because the REAL bad guy who is revealed to be controlling the first bad guy in the last 10 pages of the first book sees toothbrushes as a bad thing that need to be removed to make the world a better place. Despite the fact that everything he is doing has only made the world worse
You absolute fool. Obviously toothbrushes are illegal in the Gums (slums) so that the people's teeth decay and fall out, allowing them to be collected and processed in the Tooth Mills which provide electricity to Rich People City. Please try to keep up.
Which might be a double problem: - Movie adaptations tend to overlook that the protagonists are meant to be poor teenagers who live in an equivalent to the slums, so they always look like they're about to make a photoshoot for a beauty magazine - YA Authors might care so little about what the characters look like after the weird introductory description that they don't even notice how the protagonist look like@@wafflfries4163

@@hatchednyc Yeah it's safe and low effort, because the target audience hasn't developed critical thinking yet or watches bad movies ironically.

Dont forget when their introduced to the rebellion its legit just "Welcome to the rebellion kid". And dont forget that even though the main leader of said rebellion dies. Nothing changes. but then, when you kill the leader of the big bad monarchy. Everything is over. Whoooo.
“See those guys with the tooth brush heads? Yeah, those are called The Brushers. They police the Gums for The Rebel Factions; Plaque. Gingivitis. And, the most feared, The Cavities.”
You forgot to mention the kind and sensitive boy and the dark dangerous beefcake don't like each other and spend most interactions fighting over the protag while she either acts oblivious to the whole thing or acts like she hates it but secretly likes it.
Need to mention how there's a government or area fenced off that everyone tells you to not to go near and also nobody knows anything about and the protagonist and his best friend like to imagine what's in the unknown area. Surprise surprise the protagonists finds his way inside and out alive and knows things that the other common people don't
You forgot them knowing how to hack every government device ever despite being 16 years old and not knowing how to use a device from before the stereotypical war even when the device is just a down graded version of the device they're using Oh and you can't forget the lover not knowing how to confess their love despite being a former leader of a violent gang that fought the protagonist
"Don't worry about book three. The author gets rich between the second and third books and remembers that she hates writing, so it's gonna be totally phoned in." Did you mean: Francis Ford Coppola?
Not really, cause Coppola didn't write the first two The Godfather book, he adapt the book into a screenplay with Mario Puzo, and went on to write the third script on his own, which turns out to be......well you know, 3.
@rayvenkman2087 It's more that he considered Part III to be an epilogue and not the third part, which is why the recut added-in the subtitle which was supposed to be the original name of the movie
The premise and writing of this sketch is hilarious, but your delivery is what takes it to the next level. That change in emphasis from "everything's about to chaaange!" to "my mom is about to be killed by whatever, who cares, she doesn't have a name, everything's abooout to change." *_chef's kiss_*
Don't forget to emphasise how PLAIN the hero is. They are so plain, average, but with the most beautiful eyes that every hot character in the book will immediately fall in love with.
With the moral being "kids always on their damn phones, why shouldn't i, zuckten muskterton take advantage of that" seriously tho hows your book going?
@@KurtyMurdiI'm glad you asked! It went from an online written novel to turning into a visual novel in progress. I thought it was pretty generic at first since I wanted an excuse to write in a cyberpunk setting, but now it's become a sort of envisioning a world where religion has been banned. I don't wanna go _too_ in depth since I know religion is quite the sensitive topic around these parts. Edit: Some grammar fixes
@Shiosama damn thats kinda cool ngl, i love cyberpunk settings bc you can do "capitalism bad, anarchism good actually" in a more relevant to our modern world than like a fantasy setting which always feels more like archaic and "we just need a good king and scar/jaffar was the problem" and never ends with the monarchy abolished. Not enough good cyberpunk out der tbh, I'd love to see yours where can we find it?
@@jakelee7083 1984 is only a classic because some iconic elements of its worldbuilding were ahead of its time. It's characters and plot are pretty bad, and even its worldbuilding is shockingly lazy and dragged down by Orwell being horny. There is an "everything's about to change" moment, when Winston finds out that the mega hot young coworker from his graphic rape-murder fantasy is down to fuck and thus is Cool and Liberated (TM).
For once I'd like to see a YA dystopian novel where the protagonist is weak, deceitful, and trying to be the next dictator. Oh, and he or she only marry for political reasons.
There's a finished Manwha called “The reason Raeliana ended up at the Duke's mansion”. Aap otome isekai, tbh. Romance usually comes up later. MUCH later.
Don’t forget every ending is morally grey where the good people have to realize that the good people can also be bad people and that they should be careful that the good people don’t turn into bad people.😮
The algorithm works. I Saw the Characters welcome version suggested many times but never clicked it, though the phrase "toothbrushes are illegal" was stuck in my head from the thumbnail, thenb i clicked this without realizing the connection.
As an avid reader who miraculously made it to the beginning of Divergent book 3 and a writer outlining my dystopian fantasy tetralogy… this is a very accurate representation of the genre. Also, “I hate the government, but also have a crush on it.” accurately describes my past two years lmao

Do you think for once making a Young Adult Dystopian Novel that draws more cues from 'Crime and Punishment' and 'George Orwell's 1984' would be a breath of fresh air? No Big Rebellion. Or if there is it's Crushed partway through the Book. Just a guy living under a crapsack dystopia but still going on because of 'X' that gives him the slightest bit of hope as the Human Spirit is allegedly crushed underneath the Jackboot but is never fully extinguished and perseveres?
@@josephbrennan370 If you twisted my Arm Fine. I'd put in something that references the Fall of the Union or derivative of it: All the T.V. Channels play the same thing signalling one Big Major coup and event. Everyboy knows whats going on and nobody can say a word about it. When the coup is over. There's new supreme leader and he actually denounces the previous regime in public in front of the party and talks about several major issues address throughout the book and promises change to the "Imperium" State etc... The protagonist either cries one tear of joy. Or just jadedly watches with the same dull expression. His soul already dead inside. He's heard this before...
I wrote a story like that once, but it never really pans out because it's not that satisfying to read to most people. Stories where the good guy loses are fun, but they don't usually get that popular.
Because that’s absolutely depressing. Now, on the other hand, if you maybe don’t go all out Orwellian with your controlling government, you can have a story take place within such a setting and have the end of it be something of ambiguous note for the future of the society. Maybe the main character evades capture after being accused of organizing riots and goes on to survive as a drifter, and along the way we find out that the government has reached the point of being largely apathetic since the system has reached a point of effectively running itself provided no major incidents happen. So basically the ending note would be that life goes on. There’s still hard injustice, but it is a livable society overall, and there are means of escaping the authorities, as the main character demonstrates. And in truth, it’s probably just a matter of time until the atrophy of the actual government reaches a point of criticality and a coupe occurs because it just would become too easy not to happen. In the end, the iron fist will fail, not because of the burning passion of random person who’s really just trying to survive, but because the body that forged it is losing the mind to properly wield it, and the muscle memory can only carry on for so long before the whole set up punches itself in the face. No one knows when it might happen, or which arguably lucky individual will spear head it, or even if it will occur within the lifetime of anyone around on that day, but it is inevitable.
The sad thing is if I were between the ages of 12 to 16 I probably would read this series and would excitedly wait for the movie adaptation AND after it releases I would complain about how they've ruined it...
Also remember that nobody tries to fight the cartoonishly evil super-government until they're inspired by a plucky photogenic teenager.
Yep. Then the massive government forces are easily destroyed by the teenager's superhuman ability with a weapon.

You know what? I’d still probably enjoy reading it up until the main character decides to sleep with the antagonist despite them trying to kill each other a literal chapter ago
Relationships can be complicated.
Jill Bearup has a series chronicling a fantasy heroine's ongoing squabbles with an author who is clearly trying to write situations where she has to sleep with her hot enemy, to which the heroine responds with reasonable and logically sound actions. It's pretty fun.

You know what "Young adult" means, right? It's a novel too bad for actual adults to enjoy, but slightly to complicated and/or edgy for actual children.
But that makes a bazillion more dollars
@@hatchednyc Yeah it's safe and low effort, because the target audience hasn't developed critical thinking yet or watches bad movies ironically. It's hard to make a new LOTR work, Game of Thrones tried and they did a good job, for a time... But you need actual competence to pull that of, so it's easier to go with bland easy young adult novel adaptationd and cast attractive young looking people
@@Reac2 Dune may actually pull it off, but it's also just an adaption of an excellent book, not anything new. I still firmly believe it will be the next LOTR type series where years down the line they will be heralded as one of the few great movie franchises

I REALLY want someone to write a book that kicks off seeming exactly like one of these but actually turns into a good story where 5 15 year olds actually fail entirely and aren't important at all.
So like the Tiananmen Square Massacre?
I hear that the Animorphs series is like this. Starts out like YA, only to turn to war is hell grimdark.
@@Mrcake0103 Animorphs is different. It's supposed to be a kids series (9+) but even in the first couple of books it had a lot of gore and covered topics such as self-worth, sacrifice, and paranoia.
Its not really what you described but the red rising trilogy is really frickin good if you can get through the first book, it gets better with the 2nd, and even better for the finale.

"I hate the government, but I also have a crush on it" -every Libertarian ever, probably
Every pro democratic rock/metal band also (e.g. Green Day, ratm, ministry, Bruce Springsteen)
Dont forget when their introduced to the rebellion its legit just "Welcome to the rebellion kid". And dont forget that even though the main leader of said rebellion dies. Nothing changes. but then, when you kill the leader of the big bad monarchy. Everything is over. Whoooo.
“See those guys with the tooth brush heads? Yeah, those are called The Brushers. They police the Gums for The Rebel Factions; Plaque. Gingivitis. And, the most feared, The Cavities.”
Only eric would create and entire lore for this silly little sketch
He probably spent more time on this than actual YA novel writers.
Should have called the mega jail, the Cavity.
I hate the government... but i also have a crush on it.
Finally a character the modern youth can relate to. Our stories are being told.
You forgot to mention the kind and sensitive boy and the dark dangerous beefcake don't like each other and spend most interactions fighting over the protag while she either acts oblivious to the whole thing or acts like she hates it but secretly likes it.
This can’t be the world building of the new dystopian novel. It’s too clever.
Eric Feurer is honestly one of my favourite performers hands down
I can't tell if this a parody of the YA genre, or just a painfully accurate description of the current state of dental coverage.
Bro, I died when I saw him pull my toothbrush out the trash. lol
So did the mouth police
Need to mention how there's a government or area fenced off that everyone tells you to not to go near and also nobody knows anything about and the protagonist and his best friend like to imagine what's in the unknown area. Surprise surprise the protagonists finds his way inside and out alive and knows things that the other common people don't
You forgot them knowing how to hack every government device ever despite being 16 years old and not knowing how to use a device from before the stereotypical war even when the device is just a down graded version of the device they're using
Oh and you can't forget the lover not knowing how to confess their love despite being a former leader of a violent gang that fought the protagonist
"Don't worry about book three. The author gets rich between the second and third books and remembers that she hates writing, so it's gonna be totally phoned in."
Did you mean: Francis Ford Coppola?
Hunger Games HAD to have been the inspiration.
Divergent too
Not really, cause Coppola didn't write the first two The Godfather book, he adapt the book into a screenplay with Mario Puzo, and went on to write the third script on his own, which turns out to be......well you know, 3.
@sunnygolightly9996 Wasn't it that he didn't really want to make the film but the studio wanted Part III anyways?
@rayvenkman2087 It's more that he considered Part III to be an epilogue and not the third part, which is why the recut added-in the subtitle which was supposed to be the original name of the movie
The premise and writing of this sketch is hilarious, but your delivery is what takes it to the next level. That change in emphasis from "everything's about to chaaange!" to "my mom is about to be killed by whatever, who cares, she doesn't have a name, everything's abooout to change." *_chef's kiss_*
Thanks!
Don't forget to emphasise how PLAIN the hero is. They are so plain, average, but with the most beautiful eyes that every hot character in the book will immediately fall in love with.
Never forget the moralistic character dying horribly or the underground resistance movement
is this 1984
As a writer who's currently writing a futuristic surveillance dystopia book, this was beyond hilarious
I love it
Thanks!
Just make sure the main villain is a thinly veiled allegory for Facebook.
With the moral being "kids always on their damn phones, why shouldn't i, zuckten muskterton take advantage of that" seriously tho hows your book going?
@@KurtyMurdiI'm glad you asked! It went from an online written novel to turning into a visual novel in progress. I thought it was pretty generic at first since I wanted an excuse to write in a cyberpunk setting, but now it's become a sort of envisioning a world where religion has been banned. I don't wanna go _too_ in depth since I know religion is quite the sensitive topic around these parts.
Edit: Some grammar fixes
@Shiosama damn thats kinda cool ngl, i love cyberpunk settings bc you can do "capitalism bad, anarchism good actually" in a more relevant to our modern world than like a fantasy setting which always feels more like archaic and "we just need a good king and scar/jaffar was the problem" and never ends with the monarchy abolished. Not enough good cyberpunk out der tbh, I'd love to see yours where can we find it?
"Everythings about to change" applies to every dystopian novel period.
Except for 1984 and Brave New World. You know. The classics.
@@jakelee7083 1984 is only a classic because some iconic elements of its worldbuilding were ahead of its time. It's characters and plot are pretty bad, and even its worldbuilding is shockingly lazy and dragged down by Orwell being horny. There is an "everything's about to change" moment, when Winston finds out that the mega hot young coworker from his graphic rape-murder fantasy is down to fuck and thus is Cool and Liberated (TM).
1984: Gets written
People with no writing talent: “it’s free real estate.”
For once I'd like to see a YA dystopian novel where the protagonist is weak, deceitful, and trying to be the next dictator. Oh, and he or she only marry for political reasons.

There's a finished Manwha called “The reason Raeliana ended up at the Duke's mansion”.

People in here are actually making lore for what is making fun, the most trope Novel genre I've read.
Do you think for once making a Young Adult Dystopian Novel that draws more cues from 'Crime and Punishment' and 'George Orwell's 1984' would be a breath of fresh air? No Big Rebellion. Or if there is it's Crushed partway through the Book. Just a guy living under a crapsack dystopia but still going on because of 'X' that gives him the slightest bit of hope as the Human Spirit is allegedly crushed underneath the Jackboot but is never fully extinguished and perseveres?
There has to be a revolution at the end to fulfill teenager's inherent revolutionary desires.
@@josephbrennan370 If you twisted my Arm Fine. I'd put in something that references the Fall of the Union or derivative of it:
All the T.V. Channels play the same thing signalling one Big Major coup and event. Everyboy knows whats going on and nobody can say a word about it.
When the coup is over. There's new supreme leader and he actually denounces the previous regime in public in front of the party and talks about several major issues address throughout the book and promises change to the "Imperium" State etc...
The protagonist either cries one tear of joy. Or just jadedly watches with the same dull expression. His soul already dead inside. He's heard this before...
That's actually what makes 1984 so chilling. The authoritarian government succeeds in breaking the human spirit. There is no hope.
I wrote a story like that once, but it never really pans out because it's not that satisfying to read to most people. Stories where the good guy loses are fun, but they don't usually get that popular.
Because that’s absolutely depressing.
Now, on the other hand, if you maybe don’t go all out Orwellian with your controlling government, you can have a story take place within such a setting and have the end of it be something of ambiguous note for the future of the society.
Maybe the main character evades capture after being accused of organizing riots and goes on to survive as a drifter, and along the way we find out that the government has reached the point of being largely apathetic since the system has reached a point of effectively running itself provided no major incidents happen.
So basically the ending note would be that life goes on. There’s still hard injustice, but it is a livable society overall, and there are means of escaping the authorities, as the main character demonstrates.
And in truth, it’s probably just a matter of time until the atrophy of the actual government reaches a point of criticality and a coupe occurs because it just would become too easy not to happen.
In the end, the iron fist will fail, not because of the burning passion of random person who’s really just trying to survive, but because the body that forged it is losing the mind to properly wield it, and the muscle memory can only carry on for so long before the whole set up punches itself in the face.
No one knows when it might happen, or which arguably lucky individual will spear head it, or even if it will occur within the lifetime of anyone around on that day, but it is inevitable.
the delivery of the 3rd "everything's about to change" made me lose it holy shit
