I don't have much this week, but when playing around with AI last week I had it generate synopses at some point. Some of them were hilarious so for this week I just want to share some.
Ascendance of a Bookworm as a 90s forth wall breaking comedy movie:
Cue the quirky 90s synth music and flashy title card.
Meet Myne, a modern-day bookworm extraordinaire, who just had the unluckiest day ever—crushed to death by her towering book collection. Record scratch. Yup, you heard that right. But instead of the afterlife, she wakes up in the body of a frail little girl in a medieval world where books are rarer than a TV remote that actually works.
Myne looks directly at the camera, eyebrows raised. “Seriously, who writes this stuff?”
Myne's new medieval world is all about swords, sorcery, and an alarming lack of good hygiene. But for Myne, the real tragedy is the lack of books. She pulls out a parchment and quill, giving the camera a deadpan look. “This is what they call a book here. I mean, come on!”
Determined to bring the joys of literature to the masses—or at least get herself something decent to read—Myne sets off on a series of zany misadventures. From negotiating with clueless nobles to outsmarting a guild of suspicious craftsmen, she’s on a mission to revolutionize this bookless backwater.
Montage of Myne getting into all sorts of 90s-style hijinks: almost setting the village on fire with a homemade printing press, getting tangled in a huge scroll, and facepalming at the medieval methods of paper-making.
But it’s not all laughs and giggles. Myne’s got a condition called the “Devouring,” which sounds serious but mostly means she’s got to achieve her dreams before her body gives out. Talk about a deadline! Myne, with a mischievous grin, holds up a sundial. “Tick-tock, am I right?”
Along the way, she’s joined by a quirky cast of characters:
- Lutz, the loyal sidekick with big dreams and an even bigger heart.
- Benno, the savvy merchant who’s more interested in profits than prose.
- Ferdinand, the stern but secretly soft-hearted priest who can't believe he's getting roped into her schemes.
Together, they bumble, stumble, and somehow manage to start a literary revolution, one hilarious mishap at a time.
Myne winks at the camera, a stack of freshly printed books in hand. “Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover?”
So, grab your popcorn and settle in for “Ascendance of a Bookworm,” the 90s comedy romp that proves even a bookworm can change the world—one page at a time.
Freeze frame on Myne holding up a book, while the rest of the cast strikes a pose around her. Roll credits.
Spice and Wolf: A Tarantino-Esque Synopsis
Welcome to the gritty, fast-talking world of "Spice and Wolf," where medieval trade meets modern swagger in a whirlwind of gold coins and razor-sharp wit. Our story kicks off with Lawrence Kraft, a sharp-dressed, smooth-talking merchant with an eye for the next big score. Enter Holo, a feisty, no-nonsense wolf goddess disguised as a sultry young woman, complete with ears and a tail that hint at her wild side.
The unlikely duo teams up in a blaze of bartering brilliance, tearing through bustling bazaars and backwater towns with a mix of charm, brains, and a little brute force when necessary. Holo’s centuries-old wisdom and wily instincts are the perfect foil to Lawrence’s street-smart hustle, creating a partnership as volatile as it is lucrative.
Their journey is a rollercoaster of high-stakes deals and dangerous liaisons, peppered with colorful characters straight out of a rogue’s gallery. From crooked guild leaders to cutthroat competitors, everyone’s out to make a quick buck or stab you in the back. Lawrence and Holo navigate this treacherous terrain with a blend of sardonic humor and ruthless efficiency, leaving a trail of broken hearts and busted heads in their wake.
Amid the chaos, sparks fly between the merchant and the wolf, their banter crackling with sexual tension and mutual respect. But beneath the surface, there’s a deeper game at play. Holo’s true nature must remain hidden, a secret that could spell their doom in a world where gods and monsters are more than just legends.
"Spice and Wolf" is a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-fueled saga where every deal could be a double-cross, and every smile hides a knife. In true Tarantino fashion, it’s a wild ride through a world where the stakes are high, the dialogue is snappy, and the heroes are anything but clean-cut. Buckle up for a tale of love, betrayal, and cold, hard cash—because in this game, it’s all or nothing.
Reincarnated as a Slime: A 70s Adult Film-Inspired Synopsis
In a world where fantasy and forbidden pleasures collide, an ordinary man meets an untimely end and is about to discover that being reborn as a slime in a magical realm opens the door to tantalizing escapades and seductive encounters.
As the slime begins to explore this new world, it encounters a cast of voluptuous and enchanting beings—each more alluring than the last. From bewitching sorceresses to fierce, curvaceous warriors, every meeting promises a blend of peril and passion. With its newfound powers, the slime shapeshifts and adapts, becoming whatever it needs to be to survive and thrive in this sensual, mystical land.
Through steamy alliances and seductive battles, the slime carves out a kingdom of its own, attracting followers with its irresistible charm and unparalleled power. Each encounter is a pulse-pounding blend of danger and desire, as the slime learns that in this world, every conquest is both a challenge and a pleasure.
My pick is more general: Fan Service. As in scene that are forced in for the sole purpose to have some ecchi scenes with the cast. It works in anime, but not in novel form. At least in anime you get some sexy anime characters out of it even if it is detrimental to the story. But when you only have the story then that's it. Just a net negative.
META: Thanks @[email protected] and @I2jgwh0hYtxrCZQ @lemmy.sdf.org for picking up my slack these past two weeks. Myne has learned some new tricks over the summer vacation as well and will post the Midweek Discussion going forward. But since she is a bit preoccupied with all that's happening in Yurgenschmidt at the moment she still could use some help. So if anyone has ideas for discussion topics send me (not Myne) a message and I'll add them to the pool of topics she will randomly pick one from each week.
